Everything bad that's happening now is being driven by the US debt crisis and US efforts to deal with it finally.
The $40 trillion debt pile has now become a crisis because the interest repayments on the debt are about to be the chief annual expense in the US budget.
The debt is growing at an exponential rate and if not tackled will destroy the US economy. The means the US has chosen to resolve the problem will have a detrimental effect on the rest of the world because all western world economies are linked to the US.
The only way out of the debt crisis for America is to trigger a major inflation rate rise to eat away the value of the dollar and so, therefore, the value of the debt. The 2 other possible ways are out, paying off the debt by raising taxes, or drastic spending cuts are too unpalatable to even contemplate.
So a shock inflation rate rise it is then, the global leaders have seen it coming and have started preparing for the upcoming dollar reset. What will trigger the increase in inflation? Very expensive wars causing much more money printing and a drastic cut in the global oil supply causing a global economic recession, all of which is already in play.
All the talk of war throughout Europe is just for the excuse for action to deal with the social consequences of a global inflation shock.
Increased authoritarian laws, loss of freedoms and a major tightening of the economy. The reality is that none of the western European countries are able to fight a major war in Europe.
In spite of spending the last 4 years constantly telling us war is coming they have made zero actual preparations for it, not that they could afford to even if they were serious.
There has been no real increase in military production throughout the EU and UK in spite of the constant banging of the war drums and increasingly shrill war rhetoric, it's all a cover.
It all provides an excuse for the austerity that will result from the major economic downturn that's coming and to blame it on Putin, thus diverting attention away from the fact that their own mismanagement of their own economies is the real reason they are so dependent on the US dollar.
They are already trying to blame Putin for the riots in France claiming that the Russians are covertly stirring up trouble amongst the French population.
Anyway, the wars must keep going and the oil flow must continue to be partially blocked to keep upward pressure on inflation. Trump laughably tries to tell us that oil flow through the Straits is back to normal even though tankers are burning and the price of oil continues to rise instead of fall.
Everything is going to plan.
Back to Ukraine and Zelensky seems to have stopped the whole upcoming negotiation process before it’s even started. Zelensky has declared that Ukraine’s red lines are forcing Ukraine to be a neutral state again and that Ukraine must have a standing army of 800,000, far greater than the Ukraine economy could ever afford by the way, leaving Europe to pick up the bill forever after presumably.
Ukraine stopping being neutral was the reason for the start of the war in the first place so that’s not going to work to finding a peace agreement, ever. It is the absolute number one condition for peace for the Russians.
So the war will continue with Russia now actually bombing the major Ukrainian cities of Kiev, Kharkiv, Sumy and Zaporizhzhia using aircraft. These glide bombs carry an explosive payload 10 times that of any drone or missile.
This is a massive escalation that tells us that Russia is contemplating the destruction of these cities to make a buffer zone reaching all the way to the Dnieper river which makes for a solid defensive border and splits Ukraine in 2.
As Zelensky’s former press secretary said, Zelensky is overseeing the suicide of Ukraine. All for his own personal enrichment while doing the West’s bidding.
And the EU has decided to pitch in and help the peace process along, clown Kallas is demanding a seat at the negotiating table and from there she said she will listen to Putin’s ‘maximalist demands’ (presumably like the one ensuring Ukraine returns to neutrality) and respond by ‘making some maximalist demands of her own’, for the sake of ‘balance’ you understand, which is of course just the sort of intransigence needed for successful peace talks (sarcasm).
There is clearly no point in Russia even bothering to turn up.
The end of the Euro
