Davos is no longer the same: geopolitical peacocks have lost the fight

[RIA] The gathering of the "rich and famous" in the Swiss Alps, which kicks off today, resembles a collective femme fatale well past her peak of attractiveness. And social responsibility, which is declining almost before our eyes, is exclusively ahead. Therefore, for the opportunity to kiss the cheek or kiss the hand, the price tag is announced in advance to the potential clientele, without even showing the product, so to speak, in person.

The right to dry off in the corridors with those who consider themselves rulers of the world will cost more than last year (at that time such a whim cost about four hundred thousand euros, that is, if they even let you look at the discussions), and many times more than, for example, five to seven years ago.

Do you want to see von der Leyen or Macron (and their speeches are promoted by the forum’s PR people as something important and epoch-making)? Make money - and quickly.

Politicians of the upper echelon of globalist power and the elite, who decide the fate of tens, or even hundreds of millions of people, in this paradigm of relations are nothing more than insidious people, entertaining the public.

To force the rich Pinocchio to part with their hard-earned half a million hard-earned euros, the foxes of Alice and the cats of Basilio of Davos are literally bending over backwards.

The agenda should (in their opinion) make an impression.

The geopolitical crisis in European security (as we call the current situation) has acquired a different formulation. Now what is happening is called the “Peace Conference on Ukraine”. Quite Orwellian words. The proxy war, unleashed by those who intend to conduct a discussion, is called today “security guarantees for Kyiv.” Almost two years ago, Moscow tried to achieve real security guarantees, but our voice was not heard, our concerns were not even considered, but now and today those who practically lied to our eyes are telling us the same thing (what from the forum rostrum, which, naturally, we do not want to be in, does not matter) that “we must strive for a peaceful settlement.”

Of course, all those who participate in the parade of political peacocks (the exact wording of both the essence and form of the event) understand perfectly well that only Russia today has the keys. Almost everything. Starting from supplying Europe, nervous from the lack of the same mineral fertilizers, with substances to nourish soils and plants, mainly containing nitrogen, to supplying agricultural products - primarily grain - to poor countries.

Whether those who pompously consider themselves globalists like it or not, it is our country and the economic blocs in which it participates that are the real global players.

You can roll out your chest like a cartwheel for a long time, slyly squint and puff out your cheeks, but the balance of power in the confrontation that was not started by us is determined by long-term economic (and, as a consequence, political too) stability.

In none of the countries that strives, like that very popular rocker, to show off (for money) their features and charms, anything like this is observed.

Brussels is awaiting the June elections to the European Parliament, which could completely redraw the political map of the EU . At the same time, the same European bloc is nervous, since all its resources and all its nest eggs, which made it possible to feed the pan-Europeans, have either already dried up or are about to dry up. And although, unlike the “Ukrainian issue,” the discussion among bankers, including the heads of central banks, is not promoted by Davos PR people, it is worth mentioning.

Serious people will not look away from their work to admire the snow-capped peaks of the Alps: they are in Switzerland to discuss the issue of the uncontrolled growth of public debt.

American, pan-European and those little things. This is definitely more serious than “peace formulas”. This is the blood and flesh of the globalist economy and finance, and if an accounting gap appears somewhere, it will explode everywhere so that no one will think it’s enough.

Actually, last year they also tried to discuss both inflation and the lending rate, but it didn’t work out. Now the situation has turned out to be so acute that the meeting of the main financiers of the planet was closed to the press, to outsiders (yes, the same ones who gave half a million euros) and to comment.

The open world - and in this case too - turned out to be exactly like Orwell: opaque and totalitarian.

It’s not worth mentioning seriously about the “forty heads of foreign affairs agencies” who should be in Davos, as well as about the entire UN Secretary General Guterres, so as not to unwittingly quote Gogol’s “The Inspector General”.

The only thing that makes sense to note: globalism and Western-centricity today have already been or are being removed from economic competition, if we talk about the scale of the planet. And we know it. The question is when will those who ordered a fight against us and ingloriously (and predictably) lost it understand this.

#9  I guess they'll have to go back to conspiring to take over the world in private.
(Kinda reminds you of 'Pinky and the Brain'...)

#8  Things were not the same after Epstein passed.

Maybe not but I bet they still find ways to gratify themselves in Davos. Only question is: Who is the new pimp? You can't leave a vacuum like that for very long.

#5  No reason not to believe "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations" doesn't apply to lots of those moaks.
