The bigger picture. Hattip lotp.
[AmericaGreatness] Geopolitica is fueled by thriving economies as well as military strength, and the West has neutered itself.

#11  It has not escaped me how the large metropolitan areas have become more and more dominated by our rapidly transformative Marxist left in the last few years. Increasingly these hive cities have taken on the dystopian feel of science fiction, no private transport, vertical living in small units, heavily engineered social credit schemes, and loaded with public assistance at the expense of the surrounding communities and the federal government. The Green Revolution seeks to drive most of us into the hive, where control and social engineering will deliver a presumed "workers paradise of equity and shared values as world citizens". Once the stuff of fantasy, Covi9, a stolen election and now Pootie have accelerated the pace geometrically. The price of gasoline in sleepy little Gardnerville, NV just went up $.40 in three dasys, to $4.19 at ARCO. Wallyworld had a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing for $7.98 and bread now tops $4.35. This is unsustanable, and every single thing that people depend on for basics at home comes by truck! Couple that with the looming fertilizer shortages for the impending planting season, and we are facing a massive recessionary Sh*t Sandwich this spring and summer. And Biden's brain trust has decided that the fix is a new Iranian oil source, and possible opening of Venezuela as alternatives, two more enemies to be fed by the American people struggling to get by. YJCMTSU!

#8  If all the "neocon bastards" fell down open manholes tomorrow Russia and China would still be at low-grade war with is, or in proxy wars with us, or killing us via war-thats-not-really war like the Covid virus.

#6  Brilliant. Pushing Russia and China together.

Uh, Russia and China have had a de facto alliance for the last twenty-five years. And they've turned countries in _this_ hemisphere into satellite states. The US left has sleptwalked itself into the "neocon war" it says it hates by ignoring that, in addition to all the self-neutering we've done over the last thirty years.

#5  /\ If urban areas can be packed full and become high-priority nuclear conflict targets, Schwab's numbers could eventually be reached. But perhaps that is the plan.

#4  "Tremendous funding resource" being Ukraine. Slipped by me. Trying be be concise and less of a bloviator.

#3  "Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum in Davos has said he wants to reduce the world population to a billion people. And the first people to go will be the whites.." Blackrock , George Soros , Biden , swamp and coordinated world leader placement(Bill Gates, Macron, Trudeau) too numerous to mention here. It appears to myself that what Putin has done has dramatically set them all back unexpectedly. Tremendous funding resource to DNC (10 million)and Clinton with Hunter Biden being a useful tool. Should Putin be his own man being increasingly bonded with China we have a competitive new world order being borne.

#2  ..no, Eastasia has always been at war with us - Comintern.

#1  Meanwhile, China is ramping up its use of coal for energy production, and has announced its intent to purchase 100 million tons of coal from Russia

Brilliant. Pushing Russia and China together.

But haven't we always been at war with Eastasia?
