Are you expecting “justice”?
Millions of people have taken to the street in demonstration.
Yet, the gov. still do not budge.
The governments still continue to send money and to disarm themselves for the biggest scam ever done.

The Western Empire and its vassal (mostly European) states are living in a “shrinking bubble” (of their own making within which they can still exercise some degree of enforceable influence , and from which they belligerently refuse to be rescued.

So be it.

It will be interesting to see what sort of new nations discover themselves and coalesce into true nationhood within those geographical regions. The general populations of those places will stay put and continue to be very much as they are now (genetically, linguistically and culturally, albeit with some migrational smudginess) but I expect a flurry of names and labels to ensue while they sort things out and give themselves new borders.

Today’s latest from the NYT is that Russia has suffered a massive 200,000 killed and wounded in the Ukraine operation, obviously a vast exaggeration over anything reliable sources are reporting. I guess this is supposed to be a sop to those objecting to the failure of the proxy war, allowing it to be claimed that it hurt the Russians badly after all. We don’t yet have any think tank or IMF white papers on this topic, so it is still possible for claims like this to go unrebutted.

It will be interesting to see which leaders will dangle on the coattails of our loathesome leaders here in Canada ( Trudeau and Freeland ) who declared a national emergency on horn honking truckers. Let’s bring in the muscle and at the same time steal directly from their bank accounts.

Oh, and if you supported the truckers or their cause of Covid response over-reach, let’s steal those funds too — and publish their names and financial information for further punishment.

Freedom, democracy and all that the “ West” offers!

Yup, could be interesting.

@Andrew Korybko. It’s nice to see your work on TAE. I look for your stuff on Global Research, and used to see it some on Tony Hall’s American Herald Tribune, before it got taken down by AI internet assassins, the best I can tell. I know you publish on other sites also. I’m glad you like it here. This is one of the main places I e-Socialize.

Let me toss another scenario at you. Let’s consider the center of the western-empire to be the financial “center” of London-Wall-street-Associated-tax-havens. BIS is part of this, as is BlackRock.

This western empire has trouble with the rapidity of the growth of money, which has outlandishly outdistanced the growth of real-economy in the world. It has been parasitizing real-economy to extract-value, to make those financial wealth-schemes “come-true” in at least some fraction.
It’s a Ponzi scheme, as we know. It’s gonna’ collapse. It’s not going to get to eat Russia to make payouts.

The inability of the current imperial courtiers to make major direction changes will cause the (real) owners to take losses soon. The owners will need more intelligent/competent courtiers, a management team change.
The current inertia is actually as bad as it looks to us. The owners are not stupid, even if they are insulated from “reality”.
The collective west does not have any executive or management team which is competent and able to make quick decisions. Times of rapid economic restructuring call for that. There appears to be infighting between owners. The current courtiers have been in place a long time, but are “negatively efficacious” like those novel “vaccine” products.
The courtiers will be replaced. Sooner is better. A lot of control-narratives are breaking. The COVID-pandemic narrative is now demanding support, rather than creating support. The Ukraine war control-narrative is very expensive, and will collapse badly when it stops being fed men, tanks, howitzers, rockets, etc. Those things are literally running out.

Time is short to replace the control narratives before being completely discredited by reality.
Either case is fine with me, but I think the owners have a different team to put in place in the US, which will not have so much inertia in the wrong direction, and will be more nimble and better at meeting the actual physical-economy needs of other team-participants. (I do like that the core of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not participating in the supplying of the war-effort. I can find that Slovenia sent 28 old Soviet tanks in September, but I can’t see that they are sending anything now. Slovenia is a natural member of the same core as Austria, Hungary and Croatia.

If the management team in DC can be swapped out before this fall, a lot of sensible things could be done, and with less overall damage to all parties.

NYT is raising the white flag on the economic war, but this means nothing other than it may be signalling that the US may change tactics. I am sure that the US is not raising the white flag.
