Alastair's insights are so on the money. I admire him for calling out the west's flagrant, hateful hypocrisy.

But what do we expect? Honestly? The western hegemon is a voracious, no mercy system of absolute autocracy ruled from Washington. There are no equal players or participants: there is RULE, or there is PUNISHMENT!

And all parties seem to recognize that this is an existential fight - BRICS vs NATO. All cards will be played; all oaths called in; all treacheries, real or perceived, brutally punished. The western golden billion are putting all cards on the table. I hope that the new multipolar players realize that there is NO compromise here, no dialogue to effect some sort of Westphalian Peace. No. Those days are long gone. The west is dead without its overarching control of the UN, the money system, and its "rules based order". Their economies are tanking right before our eyes. War, however, will protect those who pull the strings from the consequences of their actions - they hope.

It's a shit-show, folks, one where our interests, opinions, or wellbeing are not even issues for the DAVOS' crowd's consideration. Their agenda is control. Money. Power. They give zero fucks about you, your family, your aspirations, or humanity. NONE! Remember that!

As a German, you can get a few years in prison for these frank words. That's why I'm holding back my emotions, as is appropriate in geopolitical considerations. ...

It is a mystery to me why the USA and its vassals are escalating worldwide. Even though the economic and fiscal situation in their own countries is becoming increasingly disastrous.

It was a revelation for me to read that NVIDIA is even laying off employees in the development sector. In any case, it is becoming increasingly clear that China, for example, is threatening to overtake the West in terms of technology and has already done so in some areas.

Deindustrialization is progressing. Prices for raw materials and energy are rising exorbitantly and the threat of war in West Asia and the aggression against China are likely to deal a death blow to national economies.

Today I heard the desperate plea of a woman in the pharmacy for insulin for her husband. The fourth pharmacy told her that insulin was no longer available. Hello, we are in Germany and not in Bangladesh. No more insulin? The pharmacist then told me that more than 250 drugs were no longer available.

What is happening on the stock markets in Japan and South Korea gives us an idea of what the West will soon be facing. Deflation or hyperinflation. Probably the latter.

The Western arms industry cannot keep pace with Russia, China and North Korea.

So what the hell do the US, Israel and the West expect from the world war?

Is it their plan to deliberately force the super-crash at home in order to restart the system with CBDC + social credit score + feudalism (including liquidation of inconvenient citizens) or do they actually think they are capable of stopping the development of the multipolar world? Nobody can be that stupid. Can't they? Stupidity or a plan, I'm still not sure.
