WW3 Countdown

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.

Europe now is completely rudderless. For the last few decades Europe took their cues from the US and hardly needed real leaders of their own, then Trump came along who was despised by the haughty Europeans.

The Europeans turned their back on Trump when he asked for cooperation on some of his more questionable operations and in retaliation Trump has turned his back on them.

And this leaves the Europeans with a serious problem because there doesn't seem to be a natural born leader on the whole continent.

Technocrat liberals by the score but no one with any actual leadership qualities. Ursula van der Leyen? Don't make me laugh.

And so a few days ago the heads of Norway and Finland broke away from the pack and horror of horrors actually contacted the Satan incarnate Putin. Such audacity had not been seen since Orban who was of course punished severely for a similar act and as a consequence is no longer with us.

Anyway, what did these intrepid young technocrats have to say to Satan? Absolutely nothing. They stood there asking ‘please sir won't you stop please?’. They said afterwards they tried to make some threats but by that time Putin had already stopped listening.

The only thing we learned was that the European leadership is finally beginning to see that their great Russian adventure really is in serious trouble.

They knew trouble was brewing, having given Zelensky €90 billion to last for 2 years, he demanded another €155 billion after just 6 months.

If you looked closely you could actually see the frozen stare on their faces drain white.

And congratulations, the EU has hit €1 trillion in debt which is a major achievement considering that as an institution it has no ability to raise revenue for itself. It is funded by the individual nation states so you can add that debt pile to your own thank you very much.

One of the great failures of the EU was its inability to get US mega companies to pay any income taxes back into the European countries where they make billions in profits. All the profits are channelled through Ireland and then onto the Cayman Islands tax haven where they are united with the company and its investors. But that’s what happens when you are just a vassal, which is of course another great failing of the EU.

Back to Ukraine and the overriding consideration is the reality that half of the 50 million people of Ukraine got out of the country when they could, and half of those who were left behind are now in hiding. Which tells you exactly how unpopular Zelensky really is.

Obviously he would not still be there if he wasn't being propped up by the European leadership.

But that support is not going to last much longer. The European people are turning on their own leadership for the bunch of incompetent morons they really are.

France will soon be heading to the ECB for a financial bail-out and the UK will be at the IMF for the same, and Germany is not much better off either.

Bailing out 1 of the 3 biggest European economies would be a struggle, but all 3 together? Forget it.

New peace talks are planned for early November but are already looking to be a total farce like all the recent others.

The Russians have said that their conditions remain the same as those issued in June 2024 with the exclamation there will be no ceasefire. Zelensky tells us that Ukraine will demand an immediate ceasefire and NATO peace keepers. And the US will be the mediators in spite of them being active participants on the Ukraine side.

It’s not going to work, nothing will come of it because no one has changed their position.

The main disconnect with reality seems to be the obsession of the west to believe absolutely every word the Ukrainians tell them, Ukraine - the most corrupt country in Europe. It's not just a need to believe, it's a psychopathic addiction.

For years now the western leaders have told us that the Russian battlefield losses are exactly as the Ukrainians tell them. That figure is 10 times the true number and is in fact Ukraine's own losses.

Long range fires account for over 80% of battlefield losses and the Russians have maintained at least a 10 to 1 advantage since the start of the war.

Body swaps over the years have shown the Russians hand back over 10 times more.

Amputee numbers, which correlate to deaths numbers, show the Russians have 10 times less.

Meanwhile the Russians have no shortage of volunteers for the army while in Ukraine people have to be dragged in off the street.

In spite of all this and with absolutely no evidence to the contrary, the west is convinced that the Russian army is about to collapse due to the crippling losses the Ukrainians assure are happening, somehow.

Western leaders have been living in a delusion of pure hopium going on for 5 years now while failing to notice their own house collapsing down around their ears.

Listen to van der Leyen and Kallas, every day it's all about aid to Ukraine and never a word about what is actually happening in the EU, it's a fixation verging on the hypnotic and it’s because they have invested everything into project Ukraine and it has failed.

And another word on Zelensky’s demand for a lot more money over and above what was already promised that so shocked the European leadership. Leaving aside the corruption issue, the fact is that the Ukraine economy is in a state of total collapse exacerbated by the Russian blockade of the Odessa ports.

Coal, steel and grain exports have been shut down completely, Ukrainian industry has been bombed out of existence, Ukraine suddenly has no economy of its own at all anymore. It has become a completely defunct, totally dependent state.

The pretence is that NATO will win the war and will then force Russia to pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine, it's really not going to happen.

The Europeans seem determined to continue to prop up Ukraine to the bitter end, for their own objectives. Russia, Poland, Romania and Hungary will be left to pick over the carcass and take what they want.

Back to the battlefield and I recently mentioned the prospect that the Russians were considering taking everything east of the Dnieper river and now they seem to be making a concerted effort to take down the bridges crossing it.

Many have wondered why they waited so long given that the bridges were essential for Ukraine to supply their army in the east.

Some say it’s because the Russians intended to use the bridges themselves but I think the problem was they are just very difficult to bring down.

Even now with new missiles and drones they are proving hard to hit let alone destroy but there is now a very real effort by the Russians to cut off Ukrainian supplies coming in from the west overland now that their Black Sea route has been shut down.

Needless to say, such disruption would be devastating to the Ukraine army east of the river.

The US midterm elections are in 5 days time, Trump has said he is waiting until after the elections before launching a new attack on Iran. He can’t do it before because he knows the Iranian response will be so devastating that it will adversely affect the Trump vote in the elections.

So basically an admission that the US has no cards left to play in the middle east war and it’s all a game just to keep it going. Same position as the Europeans in Ukraine. No realistic goal, no strategy, just keep the thing going for as long as possible.
