As you can see, I haven’t been writing much on the blog in the recent days. There, of course, are reasons for that.
The main reason is that I’m waiting for the events to unfold. I basically described what I see, but the global situation is now in an unstable situation. The pieces are apparently being moved across the chess board, and until they arrive, there will be apparent calm. I don’t have enough information to know what pieces are being used and with what purpose. I do have a hunch that the Russian aircraft carrier, Kuznetsov, isn’t used as a knight or a bishop, but as a pawn. Also, noise was made in the Western media about the Russian introduction of the Sarmat rocket. It’s simple equipment replacement without deeper strategic meaning. Also, it’s a silo-based rocket, and as such the most vulnerable and strategically irrelevant, which is why the Russians didn’t care to update it sooner.
In the meantime, I’m working, keeping myself in shape by picking mushrooms and chestnuts in the local hills, and I’m catching up with my long neglected photography, because watching the news is making me sick.
Also, I should add that it’s not just the human moves that I’m waiting for.
Kuznetsov as a pawn? For what purpose, don’t you think it will transform Aleppo into a rubble?
Kuznetsov is a piece of junk that breaks down more often than not, but it’s a nice big target for the Americans to blow up.
So you think that Russians are simply putting it out in the open so they can gauge American reactions to it, if they attack it, Russians will retaliate.
Look, if they anchor it in Tartus, as they most likely will, it will become a redundant floating airport there. It will also become the most obvious target for Americans to hit if, or should I say, when, the Russians take down a squadron of American planes that give ISIS the air cover.
Since it will be in port, it will be easy to evacuate both men and planes from the ship, the piece of shit itself will sink saving the Russians the expense of decommissioning (and they don’t know what else to do with it anyway), and then Peter the Great and that Oscar II submarine that’s in the battle group will go ahead and sink a Nimitz class carrier in retaliation. The Americans will then strike heavily at some Russian asset and the Russians will then nuke all American military assets, essentially removing America’s military might altogether and reducing America to a size where it’s no longer the world’s most powerful terror state.
It will be interesting to see if these events will happen before or after elections.
I don’t think it matters much. Hillary is a complete shill, but Trump, he’s an American patriot who vows to reassert American power and strengthen their military. What will he do when Russia and China refuse to be pushed over by America? He will try to use force to teach them a lesson. So ultimately, the name of the game is that America is losing its position of global supremacy, but it’s still very powerful and won’t go away quietly. That’s a recipe for war. I think Putin is right when he says it doesn’t matter to him who wins the American elections. Basically, he’s telling us that in America, all the real decisions are made elsewhere and the more things change, the more they remain the same. It’s just the American and the world public that’s entertained by this election circus, because they believe they can change things. Obama clearly showed that not to be the case.
I noticed that Trump is regarded as hero in alt right sphere, but people are being naive about his dealing with problems (if he becomes potus). But he can’t do whatever he wants, as we know that decisions actually stem from various NGOs and lobbyists inside and outside US.
So your opinion about Trump wanting to have good relations with Russia (like he says) is that he will probably be coerced to put same aggressive stance as Hillary?
Trump is all about dominant posture and strength. From that alone you can extrapolate what happens. He will talk to the intelligence and military guys who will tell him that America can either re-assert itself forcefully or simply relinquish its globally dominant position. Guess what he will choose. After that point, the difference between him and Hillary is essentially zero, because Hillary is merely a brain-dead mouthpiece that repeats what it’s been told.
An issue much bigger than the elections is the rapid degradation of the global economy and the financial system. Europe’s only chance of recovery was to connect more closely with Russia and China. America prevented that, so Europe is now in the process of economic collapse. The West in general is also in the process of ideological, moral and demographic collapse caused by the “progressive” ideologies. None of this has any chance of ending well.
