We are living through a relative proverbial "calm before the major storm" Circa WWX...?

The austerity imposed upon Europeans by a political class totally sold out to the USA and international bankers is literally pushing the countries of southern Europe into a social explosion which could very rapidly turn violent.  With a few rare exceptions, the media (mostly owned by banks) is buying time for the bankers by simply ignoring this reality and feeding its clueless audience a steady stream of nonsensical and irrelevant news.  Bottom line: both the Euro and the EU as a political project are dying, the continent is broke and a social explosion inevitable...

Russia: is stark contrast to the EU, Russia is doing great.  The Russian economy is booming, the Western-sponsored opposition totally discredited, the armed forces are in very good shape and getting even stronger and the economic and social prospects look excellent.  Interestingly, Russian government officials have been very candid about the situation in the EU and they are openly saying that they have taken all the necessary measures to protect the Russian population from the consequences of the inevitable collapse of the EU.  No matter how good things look in Russia now, a collapse of the EU will have negative consequences for the Russian economy and the Kremlin has taken a wide array of measures to prepare for this situation.  Likewise, the Russian military appears to be ready to act should a US/Israeli attack on Iran create a crisis on Russia's southern borders.  Bottom line: Russia is just about as ready as can be for any foreseeable crisis and getting stronger each day...

China is working side by side with Russia in preparation for an economic collapse of the EU followed by an inevitable collapse of the dollar and the rest of the current international financial system.  There are persistent rumors that both China and Russia are quietly buying large amounts of gold and off-loading dollars.   What is sure is that these two countries are ideal partners to jointly overcome the consequences of the inevitable meltdown of the current international financial system. Unlike Russia, China is very heavily invested in the US market and this is the reason why the Chinese are scrambling to open new markets for their goods in Africa, Latin America and, of course, Russia.  I expect these two countries to continue to work hand in hand on all levels...However, if the international role of the dollar becomes truly threatened, then all bets are off and all options very much on the table...In their typical arrogance, the utterly corrupt Western elites decreed that they had "won the Cold War" instead of realizing that their capitalist system had only been temporarily given a reprieve from its inevitable collapse by the collapse of the Soviet system.  This was a one time thing, however, and now are no more potential markets to flood with US dollars and the entire scheme is about to come tumbling down.

The corporate media does a truly stellar job of hiding it all from the general population which continues to be fed a constant diet of irrelevant non-news with rosy forecasts about the future.  While Russia and China are clearly bracing themselves for the inevitable crisis, the Western government are putting all their efforts into hiding the facts from their population and delaying the inevitable...

Could it lead to war? Quite possibly. I still think an attack on Iran would be irrational and that the Pentagon will be dead set against it but nothing can be ruled out...

I fully expect there to be a military clash between the US and China over the planet's remaining oil reserves at some point in the future but I expect it will be some time before Beijing is ready...

I also suspect the way the West plundered Russia in the Nineties will go down in history as a strategic mistake of huge proportions putting short term greed against long term interests. China now has a military alliance with the Russians. Had the ZIO-USA thugs treated Russia decently when the Soviet Union collapsed Russia might have become a friend of the United States the way Germany did after the war....

The Nazis and the Soviets are gone... Washington, the Zio-West and IsraHell are now the greatest threat to humanity...

I remember that Russians were very friendly towards Americans throughout most of the 1990's. They wanted to emulate the (apparent) success... If the U.S. had offered the equivalent of the post-WWII Marshall Plan to Russia, the latter would now be an American ally...

In the end, the Zio-Neo-Con and Noe-Liberal hubris, got the better of Washington. Bush peré was a time-serving snobbish, who had no effective control over anything but the intelligence community, so he (and his psychopathic successor Clinton) let the plunderers pillage Russia. That, and Clinton's bombing of Yugoslavia, turned Russia against the West and (I believe) led to the election of Putin...A totally wasted opportunity, courtesy of the near-sighted and utterly corrupt and criminal Anglosphere...

If the Anglo-American elite had been humble enough and astute enough to make Russia its ally, I think the world would have been much better off, by every measure. As it is, if Putin, Brazil and China can effectively check the reckless course of the Anglo-Americans, that will be the best humanity can currently hope for...
