Around 2017 I discussed a new book idea with my publisher and some other people.

Working title was ‘Putin’s Speech’

Wanted to print and ask experts to analyze his speeches, which I always found very telling. Western MSM mostly ignored them.

Should have continued this project
Didn’t proceed because the sentiment around Putin was so negative. Nobody wanted to touch it ..

Being interested in Putin was a no-go. The few journalists interested in Putin, where outcasted as ‘Putin verstehers’

Read several Putin biographies, and was always fascinated by his life story

Witnessing the start of an epic clash, in which the West might loose it’s advantage, and privilege, gained in the last 400-500 years.

Russia and China understand the West is now getting lazy, fat, old and broke and not willing to put up with a real (boots-on-the-ground) fight.
We, in the West still feel superior, however don’t understand the (declining) phase we have entered ..

The fourth turning describes this brilliantly. It’s now our crisis-time (winter) ..

Don’t forget the West hosts only 800mln people (500 EU+300 US)

BRICS is over 3 BILLION
The BRICS, including Brazil, decided not to sanction Russia. Quite a sign ..

BRICS countries are fed up with the western double standards, where invading a sovereign country is OK, as long as it is not a western/Christian friend …

Want proof?

So, Putin decided to take the Dead End Road

Impossible for him to turn around now ..

Single most important question:

Does he still have China's support?
Very hard to predict the outcome

... or even what's next ..

Best to prepare for the worst now

(and hope for the best)
Worst is WW3 and global depression for years

I don't expect it, but it could happen

Studied this topic a few years back and came to the same conclusion. Victoria Nuland acknowledged the US invested $5 bln in regime change

Two Ukrainian cabinet ministers/district governors were nationalized a day before inauguration. One of was Saakasjvili (ex-Georgia)

Atlantic Council: For the 1st time, Beijing has joined Moscow in opposing NATO enlargement; Russia returned the favor by opposing the new AUKUS defense pact binding Australia, the UK, and the United States, as well as endorsing its One China Policy and growing role in the Arctic
'Xi and Putin reaffirm that the new inter-State relations between Russia and China are superior to political and military alliance of the Cold War era. Friendship between the two States has no limits, there are no ‘forbidden’ areas of cooperation ..
.. [emphasis added], strengthening of bilateral strategic cooperation is neither aimed against third countries nor affected by the changing international environment and circumstantial changes in third countries.”

It’s (almost) over for the gold cartel .. the attacks are failing

Somebody is eager to buy the dips. Huge imho

(Remember the Bloomberg story?)
Same for silver
In the Big Reset we have published proof of Russia and China both understanding gold is the Achilles heel of the U$ empire. That’s why both have been loading up the physical stuff for years ..

Correction: 3% .. might soon be 4% 😁
Why we love to wake up at 5AM #discoveryinvesting
