As I posted briefly en passant in last week's extended Essay:
'What makes the psychodummies think that – whether he has bioweapons or not – Vlad the canny Lad has the remotest interest in simply playing to given ice-hockey rules as laid out by the arrogant supremacists in the Langley-Washington puck-slamming complex?" It's a relevant question to ask, because Putin has no track record at all of doing anything so predictable…'
Well, now we have our answer….last Friday, President Rasputin was quoted as follows by several titles among the Moskva MSM:
"As for NATO allied soldiers' boots on our soil employing weapons of war against innocent Russian citizens on Russian soil, our response to such an eventuality has been thoroughly debated at the highest levels, and we are united in our proposed response to such an escalation."
The message from the Russian leader needs no elucidation: he was saying, "OK big Balls….we dare you".
-------------------------------------
In the 36 hours since his statement, Putin's measured challenge has put EUNATO firmly in its place:
1. The ball is now in their Court. Whatever happens, he can now remind all comers, "Don't say I didn't warn you".
2. Virtual diplomacy has been bouncing at an alarming rate between Paris and Berlin.
3. Brussels and Washington have rushed into unwise assertions of German solidarity with Lithuania, but these do not reflect the growing influence of AfD [Alternative fur Deutschland] in the Berlin psyche.
-------------------------------------
But the bigger Part Two was yet to come…..
The Lord alone knows how Rasputin put this master-chess move together, but do it he has – in record time. And it means big trouble for the Dollar. For the day after his audacious, "Go on – I dare you" threat to EUNATO, it's club-footed blunder into the Unknown got exactly what it deserved: the Chinese, Iranian and Russian sovereigns 'firming up' a financial offensive against the Almighty Dollar. From William Schryver's substack yesterday:
'Russia, China, and Iran have now formed a de facto military and economic alliance — what they prefer to call a "partnership".
In the case of Russia and China, a comprehensive full-spectrum partnership has emerged: military, economic, and monetary. Trade between Russia and China has exploded both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Importantly, trade settlement will be overwhelmingly denominated in Rubles and Renminbi. Use of the dollar and its international mechanisms is being aggressively deprecated.
Russia and China now conduct regular joint naval and air patrols of the western Pacific, from Alaska to the South China Sea.
Russia, China, and Iran conduct regular joint exercises in the Arabian Sea. Those exercises have increased in both scope and frequency in recent years.
Both Russia and China are investing vast sums of capital in Iran, much of it in the energy sector and in ambitious transportation projects aiming to construct fast and efficient trade corridors linking China, Iran, and Russia as primary nodes of Eurasian commerce.
Arms and technology transfers between the three countries have reached unprecedented levels.
Audaciously, Vladimir Putin has thrown down a hard-as-nails metal gauntlet.
It now transpires that Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov late the week before last concluded several days of intensive talks with Chinese leaders, including both Wang Yi and Xi Jinping. In its account of the talks, the Chinese government's flagship media organ, Global Times, summarised (in the words of prominent CPC commentator Li Haidong) the current state of the Russia/China relationship:
"China and Russia will not target any third party, but if hegemonic forces threaten China and Russia, or threaten world peace, China and Russia will stand together and fight to protect their own interests and safeguard world peace together."
This is simple diplo-speak to show the West that Russia, China, and Iran recognize that an attack against any one of them would constitute an existential threat to them all. The strategic interests of all three countries are now inextricably intertwined.
Most importantly, they are united in a single overriding strategic objective: to dismantle the dominion of the long-reigning Anglo-American empire.'
Now at last is the sheer scale of diplomatic blundering by the EUNATO Cacophonists, neoliberal Banker onanists and State Dept Imperialists laid bare.
At a stroke, Putin has once more retaken the moral high ground of peace and goodwill, leaving "democratic values" hypocrisy coughing in the wake of his Golden Coach.
If nothing else, you have to accept that Vlad the Lad is a Class Act. Once again he has made fools of the West….and shown up the pompous European bunion for the cripplingly expensive waste of space it has always been.
For any number of reasons, in my estimation this is by far the most significant geopolitical reshuffle of the century. It has clarified and suggested
* Beijing allegiance
* Russia's vitality in the East European sphere
* Chaos in the currency markets related to $ settlements
* The undeniable importance of dot-joining influence connections between Godless Asia, Islamic Africa and post-Communist East European Christian orthodoxy
* Sovereign debt management in the Anglosphere
* Acquisition by the RF of developments in mRNA bio warfare research via Wuhan.
* A whole new set of horrific tactics and possibilities in this year's US POTUS and UK General Election events
* Probably most worrying of all, the humiliation of the US Secret State leading to a right-cortex desire for revenge at all costs.
* But most encouraging of all, a bite in the ass for the Globalist dystopians. I do not exaggerate when I assert that this development effectively pulls the carpet out from beneath the feet of Herr Klaus von Schlaphead of Davos, because his ideas are underpinned by the acceptance of a unipolar hegemony driven by the transactional dominance of the Dollar and it's central role as a means of debt settlement
At a stroke, Putin has – for the first time – declared that a unipolar currency valuation is now off the table.
For the central banking system in general – and neoliberal Bourse capitalism in particular – it is time to visit the prescribing shrinks and gain some urgent access to drugs treating bipolar depression.
Post-Script: the depth of Bipolar depression in western media is evident....they chose to blank the entire development.
