Given Putin’s complete and soulless evil, I was compelled to peruse Churchill’s 1st volume of 5 books on WWII. In Churchillian elegance he says: “It’s my purpose, as one who lived and acted in these days, first to show how easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have 1/6
been prevented; how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous; how the structure and habits of democratic states, unless they are welded into larger organisms, lack those elements of persistence and conviction which can alone give security 2/6
to humble masses; how, even in matters of self-preservation, no policy is pursued for even 10 or 15 years at a time. We shall see how the counsels of prudence and restraint may become the prime agents of mortal danger; how the middle course adopted from desires for safety 3/6
And a quiet life may be found to lead direct to the bull’s-eye of disaster.” How many innocent men, women, and children must be brutalized before we, as a country (and as a western alliance) decide that we won’t allow the massacre to continue? 4/6
Are we ok with Kyiv and the rest of Ukraine being wiped out by Putin’s war crimes? I remember a time when Duty, Honor, and Courage were the building blocks of great leaders. The senseless violence being driven by Putin and his henchmen represents pure evil manifesting itself 5/6
in our world of today. How can this end well? I’m certain it won’t. 6/6 #Russia #UkraineWar #Ukraine #Churchill

As the world awakens to the pure evil of Putin’s Russia, Xi’s China is in the crosshairs. Global pension and endowment investments in Russian stocks and bonds are at risk being completely wiped out after errantly turning a blind eye to Putin’s despotism. 1/7
MSCI and other global indices invested in Russia are almost completely trapped. We are witnessing the bifurcation of the world into two spheres. The rules-based west on one hand and the axis of authoritarian, communistic, totalitarian evil on the other. The China/Russia 2/7
‘Strategic Partnership’ announced in a joint press release on Feb 4, 2022 is worth another read. They intend to form a bond bigger and stronger than the Allied Powers of WWII. “No areas of cooperation are off the table.” It will become clear that fiduciaries that invested 3/7

When the wall of communism fell, we (The U.S. and the U.K.) convinced the Ukraine to denuclearize as they had a third of Russia’s nuclear weapons when they became independent. In exchange, Ukraine received a signed security guarantee from us known as the Budapest Memorandum. 1/8
The implication was Ukraine would not be let to stand alone and face a threat should it come under one. Putin has orchestrated a full-scale invasion and, just like 2014, we DO NOTHING. We send their troops some weapons and say “good luck”?! America isn’t what it used to be. 2/8
We used to stand up to signed agreements. We’re becoming like the Chinese…where signed international agreements aren’t worth the paper they are printed on. The sanctions imposed to date are almost completely toothless. Russia’s economy is almost solely dependent on crude and 3/8

Javier, @JavierGoya7 , China is in desperate need of food (ie corn), energy (oil, gas, coal), basic materials, and semiconductors. If xi is contemplating moving on Taiwan 🇹🇼, he would need to stock a surplus of these things or find someone to backstop their needs. 1/4
If China and Russia are collaborating at this point in history, a series of important deals might be had. Russian oil and food for an end-around crippling US sanctions for Putin’s Ukrainian invasion. The alliance of evil can and will likely unite to bring this to reality. 2/4
China will be sanctioned and removed from the global SWIFT system if xi moves on Taiwan. Xi might think he’s got the West in check but we have him in Checkmate if he moves. 3/4

American citizen Gu Ailing (born in America, raised in California, mother immigrated from China 30 years ago) gets bought by Xi Jinping and China to compete in the #GenocideGames for the Communist Party. Textbook CCP, bribe a US citizen to earn you a gold medal 🥇. #ChinaExposed
After winning her first championship at the age of 15, Gu Ailing was secretly recruited to Beijing to meet with Xi Jinping. Five months later, she announced that she would join the Chinese Olympic team. The CCP propaganda is that Gu Guihua has become a Chinese.
But China does not allow dual citizenship, and if it is true, she can only renounce her American citizenship. Did she actually give it up? Every time a reporter asked her, she dodged the question.

Textbook Chinese censorship on a US social media platform. Add the IOC to the supranational platforms that the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated and conscripted. IOC, WHO, World Bank, BIS, The UN, and the list goes on and on. #BoycottBeijing2022 #China #ChinaExposed

NBA can’t possibly confront the Genocide in China…they risk losing $800MM. @WarriorsPR @chamath The UK conducted a China Tribunal and had Sir Geoffrey Nice oversee its operations. He presided over Milošević’s war crimes tribunal in The Hague.Results here: chinatribunal.com
