To stay on top of developments which can make or break our lives requires plenty of time, and stamina. Boris Johnson complained that the people in the UK are losing interest in his 'Project Ukraine', and 'War with Russia' as an exciting adventure while he was visiting the Ukrainian embassy in London. Though I personally don't give a hoot about *anything* BoJo wants or does, he is most certainly very 'influential' in the world, and not merely inside the UK. God knows why. Same thing with a warmonger like Lindsey Graham, who handed the 'BRICS'-countries an ultimatum on behalf of Donald Trump, who is busy deciding to release the dogs and arrest Obama for treason on account of his role in 'Russia-Gate', after Tulsi Gabbard released documents which prove that he colluded with 'intelligence officials' to spread false claims about Trump, with more to come. Just as Trump is seeking to escape from the 'Epstein-story' by embracing diversions. Multiple 'soap-stories' screaming for attention in our part of the world.
All these busy-buddies are circling this huge turd which is 'Project Ukraine', a plan to use that country to unseat Putin which went South. Every night Ukraine is getting pummelled by hundreds of attack drones, cruise- and hypersonic ballistic missiles. And every day we get those reports that Ukraine managed to shoot all of them down, though that doesn't explain the videos and images of huge explosions from every corner of the country. Explosions which reveal that a target with military significance must have been hit. Ammo depots, drone- and missile factories, where Ukraine assembles stuff received from NATO countries, and things like that. But because of strict censorship there are no detailed reports. Only the occasional apartment complex hit because it was struck by debris, air defence missile going astray, or because the building was housing fresh foreign mercenaries.
New talks in Istanbul are planned for tomorrow, thus commentators expect another desperate attempt by Ukraine to draw the media away from the 'Ukraine is losing' narrative which is now common, because that is what they always do. Zelensky recently fired the guy who was in charge of these talks with the Russians in the Turkish port, replacing him with the lady who gave away Ukraine's mineral wealth to Trump, at least on paper, in an effort to draw Trump back into 'Project Ukraine'. I'll let you be the judge of what she achieved, given the fact that Trump now poses as an ordinary, disinterested arms-dealer, selling stuff to the Europeans, with delivery dates in the distant future, while those countries are on the hook for handing over everything they've go today.
It cannot be emphasised enough, that NATO plays 'nice' with Ukraine to keep the war going, but that their 'play' was that Russia was going to collapse economically, using Ukraine to 'Overextend and Unbalance' Russia, with unknown consequences for Ukraine, as I showed you yesterday. And that is still the 'play'. Russia under Putin cannot be allowed to exist, and the country has to be destroyed. Ask individuals why, and you get all kinds of answers, depending on who is doing the talking, and where he or she is located, with several people in the lead of 'Project Ukraine' capable of talking out of both sides of their mouth, and the back of their head, depending on the audience. Catering to all those 'Dummies' who need to be entertained set aside, I think we can all agree on a desire to save the 'Unipolar Moment', with NATO acting as a global police-force, 'Davos' calling the shots at an economic level around the globe, and f.ck the people, their fairy tales, and blind hatred which renders them so easy to exploit, as the common denominator among our leaders.
Lindsey Graham, talking about imposing 'secondary sanctions' on China, India and Brazil, if they didn't drop Russia as a trading partner, is on record as saying that he is convinced that these countries will pick the US, as they do not want to lose that market of losers. Why losers? Because NATO can't shoot straight, losing wars one after the other, which only generates Hollywood-movies and -series which are 'blockbusters' among the crowds which cannot tell the difference between what is real, and what is fiction, and because of all the debt at every conceivable level, with the 'Mickey-Mouse'-currency on the brink of being kicked out of too many portfolios being too serious to simply shrug it off. Now, don't get me wrong, if these tariffs manage to do what Graham says they will do, converting China, India and Brazil back to Dollar-slavery, with Xi, Modi and Lula begging for forgiveness, that would not be good for Russia. Although it would be even worse for China, India and Brazil if they are forced to keep sending their products in exchange for freshly minted 'Mickey Mouse'-Dollars, which will buy them absolutely *nothing* of value. Nothing they cannot produce themselves, and far better according to Jeffrey Sachs in THIS video. I second that.
Losing money somehow 'stored' in the US and the EU is not what these countries are after, obviously. Neither Russia, nor China, India or Brazil. They want to do trade while not under threat, but the US and the EU don't want to trade with *them*, unless they enslave themselves to the 'Rules-Based-Order', with them setting the Rules. As I illustrated in my contribution yesterday, in that 'Rules-Based-Order' a simple 'No' can mean 'Yes', or vice versa, depending on the mood of the ruling elite. I truly do *not* get it that our leaders, preoccupied with sleazy stories and dreaming about rebuilding the military, but not knowing how to go about it, supplementing their budget with stolen money, think they will get away with it? But, by extension, I fail to understand how we, the people, are left mesmerised by these clowns? Just take a good hard look, and tell me again that these people are smart. Smart? In which sense? Because they are able to sell us horse-manure as a topping for a delicious cake? I get it, we're busy. Too much going on. You simply cannot go back to work if you didn't watch the final episodes of the 'Late Show'. Well, suit yourself, but I'm telling you, there are more important things to consider right now, and if you miss them, you will be sorry.
