Aaaaand - what if absolutely nothing happens to change any of this? At what point is this not all theater? Just amusement for the folks who really run the show? That's what I am afraid of, in addition to well, everything else. The Dems are really showing their rotting asses, though, which makes me wonder just what encourages them to be so openly corrupt.
Oh, and now the Nordstream bombers were on a Greek tanker. Since the SS Minnow thing was not working out.
I hadn't heard about the Greek tanker. Talk about flailing!
Oh, something will happen to change all of this. I just don't know what it will be yet. Too many forces are in motion and they're moving too fast, just like they did before previous revolutions in our own country plus a few dozen others.
"NATO countries will run out of artillery shells to send to Ukraine if the current rate of consumption continues."
True, and so hold onto your hat as that gets spun over the next few months. If anyone wants to skip ahead, merely start at the point where it's stated by NATO spokespersons, "More artillery shells are not the answer to Ukraine's dilemma."
It will even be implied that Ukraine can't use more, because Russia has obliterated so much of Ukraine's artillery that the amount being sent is more than enough. They'll choose to highlight how well Russia has done rather than allow it to be said that NATO has failed.
And they'll go on from there, and say it was a mistake from the start for Ukraine to get itself into a position where it was having artillery duels with Russian forces, Ukraine should have listened to NATO and fought the war NATO advised, by making lots of maneuvers, and using the better intel that American satellites and whatnot provided as the guiding light for dispatching forces.
And finally, in a page straight out of 1984, Oceania/NATO will declare that it has always been at peace with all of Eurasia, it was Eastasia that's always been the enemy, and the upcoming conflict with China is where they will be focused. The Prime Minister of Airstrip One will disavow any theories that Boris Johnson had any hand in spurring on Zelenskyy to make rash decisions.
Lol! You may well have just described how they will change their narrative to shift the blame to the Ukrainians. After all, they've done it before, in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and many more.
Thanks! I'd forgotten about what's going on in Korea. I do know that there have been, and no doubt still are, many Japanese who would prefer to see the US bases in their country go away.
I've thought about this for a while. I knew Biden was evil, demented and uncaring, but two years in it's apparent how uncaring he really is. He's destroyed Ukraine and is working on Europe and the US - Silicon Valley Bank is just the latest signs. I hope that there won't be worse tomorrow morning - but I expect there will be.
Biden is really just a senile warmongering tool for the oligarchy. He is pretty much living his dream - the same dream as most of the Democrats, IMO - and his eventual replacement will be just as compromised. But yeah, Biden has always been evil and demented and uncaring. Same for his family. Again IMO.
Bet on it.Big companies like Amazon and QVC were laying off workers even before SVB failed.Expect more bank failures.If there’s a recession,we know why.Joe’s war will bankrupt the country.
Hi Everyone! Great List OB, thank you for taking the time to make it.
Does anybody remember six months into the Biden Presidency, the DNC threw a party for Obama. Biden could only follow Obama around the room like a lost puppy dog. At that moment, many people were speculating who the real president was.
On Biden's current trajectory, he will have a snowflake's chance in hell, if he runs for President in 2024. What is worse for the Democrats, they do not have anyone else to fill in for Biden. The Republicans are in the same position. Trump could win the nomination and the election. My belief is, the higher ups in the Republican Party do not want that either. So in the end, some flunky placeholder (party is unknown) will fill in. But, it will be a premium shitshow.
As far as the transportation issues go in this country, we all know that Petey "Check all of the Boxes" Buttigig was put into that position to do nothing. What is worse, the burning of the now "Industrial Waste" train wreak was the repeat of the Gulf Oil Platform explosion under the Obama Administration. This time it was easy to document for all to see.
It would be a tragedy if Biden and his goons are allowed to start a war with China. If the American Public were honest about war, they would say the following, "You idiots are getting your ass kicked in Ukraine, now you want to start a war in China?"
Joe Biden is a blunder. Now the whole world can see it. Sorry to say, it may get worse before it gets better.
Let's see - Biden spent $millions to bravely shoot down some balloons. I understand one or more missiles actually missed their giant balloon targets. Putin brought down a possibly as much as $32 million drone by dumping some gas on it and nudging it. In mid-air. I feel so safe and secure, plus what a swell way to use up money! Also, this sorta makes Top Gun an actual fantasy.
So - now the UK has announced it will be supplying depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine. The UK would not be doing this without the blessing of the US and NATO and EU. Russia says there will be consequences. Zelensky must be ecstatic. The UK says Russia is exaggerating the harm this ammunition will cause. No, this poisons the land and poisons the people. The US is quite proud of doing that in the Middle East. I did not think my disgust with "the West" could deepen, but there ya go. The next step will be, IMO, "reliable reports" that Russia was planning to use DU, because hey, look at the tanks they are using. Another accuse the other of what one is actually doing situation; the Dems/US excel at that.
In other news, starting to look like the money the Bidens got from China is beginning to see the light of day - CNN is beginning to say that yeah, the Bidens were funneled Chinese money. Which makes the whole China/Russia thing look a bit iffy, but what do I know about the monetary arrangements and permissions that the oligarchs have access to. And maybe this is a way to sort of gracefully get Biden from the stage. Or point him in the right direction, since he has trouble with that.
that was quite a list there, buddy. I noticed this one was particularly well-stated. Words matter. I am an independent thinker, field is Economics, I have been doing this since 2001, when I pioneered a "public" approach to global capitalism, sharing of material goods by eliminating the payments. Just shipping and giving. Substack is my outlet for these ideas ad others. The well-stated thing: " as the French people fight Macron’s efforts to turn France into another America for the sake of capitalist exploitation..." They only seem to like one narrow version of truth and only completely "private" economics no matter how big the "private entity" is. It seems that such an economic policy is not objectively possible. But as long as they can get away wit hit, they won't bother to think it through. One day, it has to end and if the ones in charge today cannot "get" that what we are going to see is an incredible global melt-down that will finally force people to think differently. Everyone will be starving to death and the top billionaires will still be making money. I wonder if they will start doing charity work, when the whole thing collapses. Or will it be eugenics? What kinds of projects will these people have to offer, after their policies destroy the whole international monetary order?
Well, if put it like that . . .
And these are just the things that we KNOW about!
Yup.

Oh, and the GOP thinks the Dems are going to try and trot out Gore and Hillary for 2024. Cage match for slate position.

Excellent list OB. I’ll add another. The Korean’s are getting sick of US war mongering: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/03/11/699699/Tension-mounts-in-advance-of-US-South-Korea-drills
Thanks! I'd forgotten about what's going on in Korea. I do know that there have been, and no doubt still are, many Japanese who would prefer to see the US bases in their country go away.
A very good list, OB, but imo it does not make any difference whether
Biden&CO or Trump or XYZ from the Uniparty is in power. The plans for
the West are made by the Elites, who sit in Davos or London or Aspen.
They will not give up power until de-dollarization is in full swing, and that
takes time. They have achieved some of their projects though. Europe
is subjugated and we see another regime change coming in Georgia.
K. Schwab bragged about having people of his choice infiltrated in every
government of the collective West, and don't underestimate Soros/CIA
groups as well as their activity in Turkey and India. If they cannot succeed
everywhere, they still will create chaos. And as Soros once said:"Chaos
can be very profitable."
They may give up on Ukraine by blaming Zelensky for this failure. The problem
with that plan is that Russia does not trust anyone in the West anymore. Thus
there is hardly anyone to help mediate any agreement, because the West
would not accept anyone neutral. This is a brutal fight for world hegemony,
which will last for several years probably.
The Gilligan's Island idea was so idiotic, that they had to switch.However, since
Hersh prepares another article, they may come up with 10 different ones, so
that his will be only one of many "hypotheses". Perhaps they will bring mother
Nature in by claiming an underwater quake. Cheers!

Georgian Maidan too - oh, and Moldova. Joey is working to see the world aflame, and Elon Musk hasn't set up a backup planet yet.
The list is long - Biden is an unmitigated disaster for the US and the West. For the rest of the world, he's given them a reason to work together.
