Never underestimate the ability of fascists to exploit situations. Once the EU is blanketed with smoke from all the wood-burning stoves and people begin getting hungry because of the lack of food (or its availability), we are likely to see another psy-op such as that conducted by the USA (blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines). In the USA, mainstream "news" sources are now reporting that Russia put explosives inside the pipelines when they were initially assembled, expecting to blow them up in the future. Needless to say, the WOKE believe it.

The 3rd Reich burned the Reichstag and blamed it on communists. The 4th Reich is likely to do something similar. The status quo will not stand. When the EU falls, there will be hell to pay.

I have to somewhat disagree with some of the conclusions.

1. The US would never permit China to remain an equal in a 'bipolar' world.... all the evidence is they mean to not just 'contain' China but reverse its economic and military power. There is nothing in China's history which indicates it wants to be a neo-colonial predator like the US, Britain, Nazi Germany, France etc or the crimes committed in Latin America by Spain and Portugal. China was the natural economic hegemon for 18 centuries based on trade and technology and it supported many countries along the old Silk Road. But the US cannot forgive China for refusing to remain a low-cost assembly labour economy, and instead becoming a high-technology rival which has invested in its own infrastructure and some $4 trillion in the Eurasian BRI, plus launching other independent institutions like the Asian Development Bank and the SCO, while also joining the Eastern Economic Forum which dissents from the Davos-based WEF.

2. Despite Russia's continued efforts (in the face of massive pressure with this US-NATO war using Ukraine) to minimize both civilian and military casualties and resort to Western-style war-criminal attacks on civilian infrastructure - it may have to escalate its actions in those domains before considering any limited nuclear options. It is clear the West wants to reverse not only Crimea but the 4 new territories now in Russia. The partial mobilization will probably have to be supported by bombings on Ukrainian forces and possibly civilian infrastructure.

3. The military 'stalemate' will keep the Russian Federation plus the new territories intact, but also keep the US-NATO-Nazi attacks ongoing..... So Russia will have to make harder choices... But as they have said, they don't have a particular timetable....this may or may not be counter-productive..

4. The current OPEC decision to defy US orders to not cut production continues a trend of Global South governments increasingly making independent decisions..... like the refusal of Mexico etc to attend the US-sponsored Summit of the Americas which did not invite Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

5. The Petrodollar monopoly which has financed unlimited US-led warcrimes, weapons and bases is also now in slow decline, as a direct consequence of US-ordered sanctions.....

The last two points indicate global support for Russia and the Chinese BRI, but India is now directly being pressured and punished for its de facto support of Russia - with the F-16 sale to Pakistan following the coup removing Imran Khan plus the geoengineered floods to smash protests by millions.... plus US references to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as 'AzadJammu&Kashmir'...to signal a US divergence with India's position.

These factors indicate the declining hegemon is going to do everything necessary to undermine, defeat and destroy countries including major nuclear powers like Russia and China - to keep its rape and plunder intact.... These signs could lead to WW3, if that has not already started. The forced de-industrialization of Germany and Europe with the attacks on the Nordstream pipelines which Russia has no immediate incentive to repair - is also probably calculated to reverse the de-industrialization the globalist elites who control America did in the last few decades. There is no way they can force China to de-industrialize, so they are squeezing Europe. One of the clear objectives of re-industrializing the US has got to be to strengthen their weapons manufacturing capability even further - to be able to quarter and destroy Russia. And then go after China.... These are all the factors in the mix which is a global war for the United States.
