The U.S. Government no longer designs nuclear weapons to prevent World War III, but instead to win World War III.

Notions that the Russians are going to lose the war in Ukraine are “naïve,” says clinical psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson. It’s an open season for Europe’s fiscal health. Governments are spending, and they’re spending big. Is the U.S., NATO, and Europe now at war with Russia? It’s an open season for Europe’s fiscal health. Governments are spending, and they’re spendin [...]

The speeches by Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping are especially noteworthy. Both countries put the United States on notice that the United States and NATO will be treated as a sponsor of terrorism because they supply weapons to Ukraine that are being used to attack civilian targets. You may accuse me of exaggerating because neither Putin nor Xi mentions the United States or NATO [...]

On August 22 the exchange-traded market price for natural gas in the German THE (Trading Hub Europe) gas hub was trading more than 1000% higher than a year ago.

The Western-backed leader has suppressed criticism and clamped down on the opposition; beyond that, he is p [...]

Leaked Ukrainian Special Services Documents Reveal the Aggressive Nature of Kyiv’s Foreign Policy Strategy. The best defense is a good offense. So goes one of the oldest principles of international relations. And as Ukrainian documents now at the disposal of the media show, Moscow apparently had something to defend itself from when it launched its offensive in Ukraine. Over the past eight yea [...]

In May this year, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the West will not settle for “dictated peace” in Ukraine. That was an interesting take on the matter. It sounded almost like the West was fighting a war against Russia in Ukraine, and that it would not accept diktats from Moscow. That was four months ago. Ever since Russia has choked Europe of essential natural gas supplies and has refus [...]

In Germany, they pointed to the desire of the United States to ruin Europe. Forecasts for the German economy are becoming more gloomy every day.

Germany’s news media — echoing America’s — have attributed the soaring fuel prices to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which clearly is a lie, because the source is clearly Germany’s anti-Russian sanctions and termination of the Nord Stream 2 natural-gas pipeline and other supplies into Germany of the least-expensive fuels-sources, which had been Russian, which is why Russia was the bigge [...]

“The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us. And to make sure that that doesn’t happen.” George Friedman, STRATFOR CEO at The Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs [...]

We are dealing with an exceedingly complex process. In the course of the last twelve months starting in early January 2020, I have analyzed almost on a daily basis the timeline and evolution of the Covid crisis.
