I keep hoping that Putin keeps hoping that the West will come to their senses and simply reclaim their sovereignty and join in with the Eurasian thrust. The EU organization is probably a major obstacle, though EU afficionados will refuse to admit this, but even so the States themselves can gradually awaken and then move the EU organization to Re-Orient. And if they do, I hope Putin is still around and still willing and able to effect a truly epoch-making geopolitical sea-change.

A hope.

If money is the root of all evil then what is the class of people that use it as a weapon to enrich themselves beyond any reasonable avarice whilst impoverishing so many? When Smedley Butler said all wars are banker wars he was correct, but still we seem oblivious to the obvious, no war starts without a profit motive.

Michael Hudson is correct, however what he proposes as a better system would never be countenanced short of piking heads on the city gates. We are currently transitioning from the old system of greed and corruption to satiate the few to the new system of greed and corruption that goes beyond satiating to unrestrained gluttony, let's all prey it gets somehow derailed.
