Suddenly, Covid has all but disappeared. Without even a day to relax, the next crisis has been thrust upon us (and significantly so for the Ukrainian people). Russia has begun it’s invasion of Ukraine but despite it’s tactical advantages and much bigger military power, the Ukrainians seem to have held their ground for now and even won a few minor battles.
So what is going on?
Russia’s elites have not suddenly decided to go it alone, they are part of the globalist cabal as much as any of the other Western elites are. Putin is a former young leader of the World Economic Forum (WEF), he regularly meets with his friend Henry Kissinger and Russia joined the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network (part of the WEF) last year.
I have seen many suggestions so far, as to what is going on, including:
Putin is physically ill, a megalomaniac and wants to strengthen Russia before he dies (this is the most dangerous suggestion as it means he will do anything to achieve his goals).
Ukraine becoming part of NATO is something Russia won’t back away from and only diplomatic negotiations and a step back by NATO will stop them.
US biolabs in Ukraine, researching emerging viruses, have been targeted.
It is all theatre, hence why Ukraine isn’t in Russian hand’s already, a cover story to hide Covid/vaccine bad news or an excuse for global financial/energy problems.
Is it a coincidence that Covid was rapidly deescalated, across the globe (save for a few countries such as Canada) in a matter of weeks, going from a potential Christmas lockdown to living with the virus?
Once again, the wisdom of the crowds may give us a glimpse at the real story, so what do you think is happening and what are your predictions for the next few months? Will we see Western troops on the ground or will this fizzle out when a new variant comes around?
This is a place to discuss all ideas without being called a traitor for not saying Putin is evil and we need military action now.

I'm of the opinion that this is an orchestrated distraction while the other efforts to continue pushing for a passport continues on while everyone is looking over there. I'm imagining two people slap-fighting each other for a show, albeit at the cost of some "collateral damage" of Ukrainian lives. For people who have helped facilitate the killing of many people with COVID and witholding information that would save their lives with more effective therapeutics, they see this as a minor sacrifice in their march toward the great reset.

#2 . NATO on Russia’s very border is too much for Putin to bear quietly. It’s also not beyond possibility that he signed on to the WEF simply to make sure he was in the loop and wouldn’t be totally blindsided.

Removing the good or the bad, right and wrong. If Putin el al are all part of the WEF and the great reset then what nested outcomes does this situation provide? The war leads to cyber warfare (anon not been seen throughout the entire plandemic, yet suddenly), leads to a few cables being cut shut down of the global financial system, leading to digital ID and a centralised digital currency, leading the social credit system.
Currently, I am ashamed to be a human being. White male megalomaniacs, with generational privilege who have been afforded so much, twist, manipulate and corrupt everything we all hold dear, just so they have more power, more control, until there is nothing left.

I am far from a foreign policy novice, let alone expert. I think there are three things in play: 1) NATO. Putin doesn't want Ukraine in NATO, period. 2) Oil/Gas. Ukraine is rich in natural gas and controlling more energy makes Europe more dependent on Russia for energy (especially since Germany got rid of nuclear.) Russia wants those resources. Wind/solar is a boondoggle and can't run a city let along a country. Russia knows this. 3) The weakness of the west. Because Biden et. al. is weak, Russia knows they can do almost whatever they want without issue. The sanctions were weak and not all-encompassing. The fact that Biden said something to the effect of "Let's see how the sanctions do in a month" tells me he and his people (his people, really, because I don't think he has many functioning brain cells left) are worse than idiots. In a month this will be over. .... I'm also wondering if there's a more historical/personal perspective involved that we'd need a historian to really understand. I plan to read the Glenn Greenwald transcript when it's released (I don't generally watch videos, I can read faster.)

All I am sure about is that whatever MSM tells us, is wrong. So basically it's all up to speculation. Putin from my POV did not want war - he was pushed into it. I could be wrong of course and I'm open, but with so much misinformation it's hard to get comfortable with any interpretation.

I don’t believe most Americans want to go to war - we just lost tons of our sons and daughters over 20 years fighting a war that had us walk a way in shame and trillions poorer (like Vietnam - great Americans doing the day to day work and crappy leadership). Biden is a mental mess, American liberals are notoriously weak and right now they run the show. With all due respect, does Europe have a force that can defeat Russia or the will? I see half ass sanctions, Putin gets Ukraine, but in a bloody mess, gas and inflation skyrocket and we’re all worse off… However, I can also see Western weenies Macron, Trudeau, Dem Party being tossed aside in upcoming elections. In the long run it will work out. But, Xi is looming…

Yes, the global lockstep to give a false sense of returning to “normal” (after all, the natives have been getting restless lately)…just like the lockstep 2 years ago to control us & usurp our freedoms.
I believe this is a ruse to distract from everything else. And an effort to sow chaos & confusion - it’s just wave after nauseating wave of harm & abuse - physically, psychologically, financially, socially, morally.
I read something that said on March 1, countries are quietly set to sign on to some new, binding “pandemic response” for the next one that will supposedly be binding & of course as bad or worse than we’ve already been subjected to. In the meantime, the useful idiots in the press have everyone distracted

I'm going to go with "all of the above", plus a few more.

Ukrainians I know tell me that 90% of the people there want Putin to kick Zelenskyy out. They see Zelenskyy as the WEF/Soros influence and they believe that Putin is not. Putin’s actions certainly benefit the Davos climate agenda in that they increase the price of fossil fuels and, therefore, make “green energy” more competitive. On the other hand, his actions can easily be interpreted as purely nationalistic because the price increase makes Russia richer and getting the Ukraine gives Russia more territory and mineral wealth. I think the real question is: on what side of the the WEF fence does Putin sit? I’m not convinced that he is presently a WEF’r. He might have been at one time, but there is certainly evidence that he is now Klaus Schwab’s prodigal son who is showing no inclination of returning home to father.

To see the people such as Build Back Better Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and co now pontificating on this war situation, after their grotesque handling of the Covid debacle over the past two years, is beyond sickening...
These people do seem to be intent on preserving never-ending fear, working on behalf of their globalist masters to enslave us. How much money is being shovelled over to vested interests on the back of manufactured crises such as Covid etc?
Guess Johnson hopes he's escaped scrutiny for 'Partygate' for a while...a war has conveniently popped up to deflect attention...

It's hard to know where to start and be brief. As I see it, the same formula on Ukraine is being used by deep state operators that has been deployed in the South Americas and elsewhere since WW2: 1) unseat/kill/maim/replace sitting president (duly elected or otherwise); 2) insert puppet regime bought and sold to do the bidding of the masters - pay them all off, blackmail and disappear the dissenters ("We came, we saw, he died... hahaha;" 3) plunder/pillage/exploit resources to fill the coffers of the criminal elite networks; 4) use the chaos as a foil to distract from domestic FUBARs in domestic politics/financial/economic/public health domains - "When all else fails, they take you to war"; 5) re-write/disregard/falsely represent recent history of the said country and keep destabilizing as it sinks further into the debt and clutches of globalist overlords (IMF, WEF, WHO, UN etc); and 5) pay off the mainstream media to feed constant fear porn and lies to a dazzled public ready to believe whatever they are told. The end.

No doubt, Putin batting for team WEF even if it may look as if he is pitting himself against them...
As to C19, same goal, different tool: fear and control
And finally, I still see the collapse of world financial systems as a goal (note, I think there are a few goals and this one may very well be means to another end). * C19 provided the opportunity to destroy small and medium business, and created dependence on the state for an income; * the stimulus to achieve that dependence is one of the big drivers for inflation together with the intentional destruction of the supply chain; * add to that energy insecurity and the effect on fuel prices (because of this war and policy decisions in response) you have another inflationary lever; * hyperinflation, when you get there, could well lead to the fall of major currency(or -ies) and with countries increasingly regulating crypto currencies you are a hop skip and a jump away from a social credit system linked to health, and finance (other things as well, but those I think are two most clearly visible from this scenario and two years of covid).

i wouldnt put much stock on mr. adolf scwab. he is just a pawn. not sure why people seem to think he is somehow this mastermind that all world leaders go to. for starters that Davos thing was a harvard idea. they thought of developing such a forum under harvard university. as it happens mr. swab was at harvard at that time taking classes from kissinger. i guess we can connect the dots.
putin i suppose has taken a week vacation there based on kissinger suggestion. not much to read there, in fact there is nothing to read, the whole davos thing is a bs for the masses, none need to go to davos and publicize to the whole world they are meeting.
be aware of meetings we do not know are taking place, that is where real business happens ... as to adolf swab, i guess he got a good gig going all expenses paid playing big shot on tv, but that is it, nothing more to it, the guy got to be nobody.

Hard to say -this action serves many masters well. However, Ukraine is THE LAUNDRY for the deep state, many heads of countries, other politicians, NATO (see WEF), including Biden family, steeped in corruption. But most Ukrainians are innocent bystanders. Wish we could cut to the chase and go to war with deep state. And at the end of the day, it's great cover for whatever Biden, et al have in mind to sneak into our lives while our heads are turned.

What does it mean for Putin to have been a WEF Young Leader? As a (former) KGB spy, maybe he just wants to know what they are up to, or bamboozle his enemies. Certainly, he is not toeing the globalist line on LGBT or climate change. When has he, unlike Western leaders, ever acted clearly against his country's interests?

I don't have any great insights to add to those below.
Putin is a Kleptocrat, a poker player, but also a Russian patriot, and his regime is a tightly-run and well organised gangster cabal.
The border issues with ethnic Russians in the Ukraine have been a running sore for the last decade or more, and 25,000 have died, with no end in sight.
Maybe he is just fed up, senses Western indecision under a weak and wobbly US President, and wants to get in to grab the gas and grain befoe the EU and NATO get there first?

1. Another fact that supports the Putin-in-bed with the globalists argument is that evidently President Clinton vetted him and permitted Boris Yeltsin to handpick him as his successor. Also, even though many think Putin saved Syria, he waited way too late to intervene, reneged on some promises (like providing Syria with the best weapons), and still allows Israel to control the Syrian airspace and strike at will, and Syria is still not free of foreign interference. Also, he has not punished the oligarchs that raped Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
2. There are two sides to the psychological operation involving Russia; it may not be primarily intended to distract people in the West from the Covid operation, but to rally the people in that part of the World to support a greater World conflict. The Russian people have been given a narrative (as well as Chinese, Indian, and other populations), that Russia is the best hope to stop Western hegemony. Even though China competes for the hero's role, Russia is allowed to be the bad cop while China is the good cop trying to negotiate and trade with the West. This Russia-as-savior narrative has been building the last few years as the West's actions and rhetoric has intensified against Russia (reaching ever more ridiculous levels).
My guess is the average Russian is spitting mad and wants to put an end to the abuse they have taken. So while Putin states a rational casus belli for the Ukraine war, which is more intellectually honest than the NATO version, this could all be done to get the people in that part of the World to support a great war against the West. Especially if Russia wins a decisive victory in Ukraine (which is my guess of what the reality is).
3. We are in a fog of war so I don't believe anything I'm seeing (like with Covid). I'm not sure the Russians are bogged down. In fact, Russia may be demonstrating a military capability that will make recent U.S. military misadventures look extremely weak by comparison. See https://thesaker.is/russian-operation-in-the-ukraine-end-of-day-2/
4. My prediction is a number of parties want a greater war. How else to explain the crazy rhetoric and actions the West is taking? They did everything they could to start and continue this war, including the likely propaganda we're seeing now about how heroic Ukraine is resisting. I expect Poland to be the fuse that lights this all up into a greater conflagration (e.g. NATO forces more openly participating in this war via Poland). NATO is likely running this war for the Ukrainians and while Putin may be downplaying this for now, I can see him rationalizing an attack on Poland and the Baltics as a way to stave off a worse situation down the road. The parties are quickly escalating in all arenas.
5. So is Putin acting sincerely? The only way I can see this is if he's been in deep cover and participating in globalist ventures like the WEF (and including Covid!) as a way to bring down the globalists from the inside. Or, he had an epiphany and decided he needed to abandon his globalist pals and put Russia first (like Saddam in Iraq?). Or, Putin is really a master Judo statesman and was cautious in the past because he was picking the perfect time to get aggressive. Or, much of the evidence we have about him being compromised is based on false Western propaganda (e.g. Bill Clinton approving of Putin as Yeltsin's replacement). Who knows.
Someone who is more likely to be acting sincerely is Lukashenko in Belarus.
In any event, even if Putin is part of a globalist plan or not, he's playing his role nicely and we seem to be heading down a dark path that segued very nicely from the Covid operation. We were warned by Karl Swabby, repeatedly, that a cyber attack would be in our future so I'm sure that's going to play a role too. As well as energy disruptions and other aspects of the great reset.

The transition from covid to warfare was seamless, efficient, and either a massive fluke in terms of timing or planned in advance. I don't know what way to think.
I suspect that this will fizzle out, after NATO back off a bit, though I may be thinking that becuase that is what I hope rather than what my gut says. What my gut does say, however, is that I ought to not blindly trust the same news orgs and politicians that have repeatedly lied for over 2yrs, just because it's boogeyman Russia.
Ukraine doesn't always have a nice history with Russia - the Holodomor, for instance, which fucked them over hugely. The Ukraine I think translates to 'the borderlands', which implies tumult in aeons gone by. I don't think what is happening now is particularly new, though then again I am by no means even close to an expert on geopolitics.
Lastly, passive aggression is still aggression. NATO is a passive aggressive entity, largely - including it moving into Ukraine. Always easy to deny aggression when it's passive; impossible to deny when it's overt, and also hard to look noble when it's overt as nobody likes bloodshed asides from rich men in suits.

Two possibilities have come to mind for me as preliminary thoughts. I wrote this in a previous article:
The serious discussion here is about competition versus co-operation in the clearly global Biosecurity State agenda, and what balance of those factors currently exists between the West, Russia and China. The classic imperialist European powers competed over colonies while all agreeing about the importance of the maintenance of the colonial domination over Africa, Latin America and Asia, and indeed sometimes agreed on the division of colonies between themselves for mutual benefits. We are observing the same dynamic today, in which Russia, China and the West have colluded with the Covid narrative in order to increase domestic control over their populations while the West continues its imperialist adventures abroad (often opposed by Russia/China for their own reasons).
Following on from this is it depends what aspect of this is dominant, co operation or competition. If it's co operation, than the Ukraine action by Russia is a distraction from the failing Covid narrative & the obvious harm coming to light about the jabs. If its competition, than Putin has finally been pushed too far by the west (2014 Coup, Azov, war gaming, etc, as well as other lies like Russiagate, Skripals etc) and said fuck it.

Well, as the old adage applied to marriage says: What is argued about isn’t the issue.
The first observation is that there was never a substantive reason for Ukraine to become a global issue absent an ulterior motive. Oil was $41 a barrel in November 2020. It’s now nearing $100. Putin couldn’t be happier about that. But $150 would be even better. The price of crude is the single most important factor driving Putin’s domestic and global ambitions. None of it happens without money. And wars have been good for the price of oil for over 100 years.
The above is simply illustrative of the fact that the theories could go on and on, witness the bio-lab explanation or the Covid distraction/New Reset Vector(my personal favorite)
But pausing to look at history is always a worthwhile exercise. In Barbara Tuchman’s monumental book The March of Folly, she lays out the thesis that, from Troy to Vietnam, Incompetence may be a better explanation than Evil or Conspiracy for the planet’s human engineered debacles. I like to mix the 3 together, but never underestimate the pure power of one dumbass move begetting another, until the entire situation is out of anyone’s control. One could argue that this is what happened with Covid, and in the end, the cover-up became the thing. We shall see.

I saw a cartoon on Good Patriot’s newsletter that made me laugh out loud today. 2 men were speaking: “Hear about the War? Yes, that war.” “I don’t know what’s real anymore.” Well, that’s me. I didn’t believe any of it, initially, thinking it was a distraction. Then I saw livestreams and I am leaning toward option 4: WEF orchestrated. Part of the larger op. I understand how Putin has cause to respond for the violation of the agreements re his borders. Russia has also been implementing the Covid Psyop. He is a WEF graduate. So now, suddenly Ukraine’s an emergency? And he’s using the Left’s rationale for all their totalitarianism: Nazis! So, I will remain skeptical of all we see and hear.

I vacillate, but 1 option you didn't list is that Putin is a primarily a nationalist striving to protect Russia & its oligarchs & its closest neighbors/relations from getting swallowed up by the Globalist nazi wolves.
Yes, WEF successfully recruited him to their ygl program & new program. Does that mean he vought into1 world gov under Klaus or anyone else? Maybe. Maybe not.
Yes, he meets & socializes with Kissinger. Ever hear the saying "keep your friends close & enemies closer?"
He's been biding his time since the soviet breakup to rebuild strength while US got bored with policing his neck of the woods.
It took dementia joe & his 2-bit hoe less than a year to run the US to the edge of a cliff. Now is the time for Putin to run the table, before Russian mud season begins and/or God sends a bolt of lightening & sets the US upright again.

Good call out of the globalist community.
Many people still do not know or understand what it means that the Bolshevik Revolution was financed by Wall Street (just as Harriman Bank financed the Nazi Party), or that Mao was funded through the U.S. State Department (with a thin excuse of trickery, "He tricked us!").
How much is coordinated, and why? These details are difficult, but one thing that is for certain is that whatever story the corporate media feeds its viewers is whatever the behavioral economists think will get them to behave in the manners that they want.
But it is still best to ask more questions, and hold competing hypotheses in mind.

"Ukraine becoming part of NATO is something Russia won’t back away from and only diplomatic negotiations and a step back by NATO will stop them."
While not the most exciting one, it is the one that is demonstrably true. It also has the advantage of not invalidating any of the others.
To understand russian politics, you must do so from a the perspective of Russia as it is and what it was - its history. Otherwise the analysis will only be projection of what you think it should be.
A very simple example: how would the US (or any non-US country) fare under the same embargoes? How would your nation react to the same treatment and situations as Russia has lived through since 1995?
This is no endorsment of Russia's invasions of its neighbours: it's just that understanding something and endorsing it are two separate things. I mention that because I'm too use to the climate of debate here in Sweden where voicing opinions outside the state's narrative feels like you're Proctor and Mauser at the Blue Oyster Bar.
Putin is learning what Hitler found out in Stalingrad, that hell hath no fury like a babuska with an AK-47. It is almost that Ukraine had to prove that it was a "for real" country and not a USSR escapee that would be better off back behind a new iron curtain. Their freedoms are being won again in blood. Virus has nothing to do with this. Besides, in the US Uncle Joe from Scranton will be telling us how great everything is Tuesday night. Going to have a hard time finding something, anything, he has not screwed up.
I think it is a mistake to assume that the elites forming the globalist cabal won't automatically have disputes and fights between them (after all the US and European Union countries are undoubtedly allies but that did not stop trade disputes over bananas and Airbus; nor did it stop a certain Ms Nuland saying the EU can go get screwed (in more vulgar language) when it came to Ukraine).
This isn't an organised distraction (though many in the West are milking it to serve as a distraction) but a real war with real stakes and real goals. Russia seems likely to reshape Ukraine to be at least something approaching Georgia, where it is chastened, and neutral and tries to carefully balance relational with Russia and the West even if economically it still maintains the EU association agreement. Ukraine becoming more like Belarus is also a possibility. Stephanie Brail (the Wholistic newsletter on substack) republished a timeline that was based on mainstream Western media sources that strongly hints at just how Western elites have gone against their own putative interests in collaborating with Chinese elites and how they effectively colonised Ukraine to turn into a rent-providing fief (when highly politically connected western persons with no experience in oil and gas can sit on a board of a Ukrainian energy company and be protected from investigation there is no other way to describe this than Western leaders duping ordinary Ukrainians about the prospects of joining the West while covertly turning Ukraine into a cash cow for themselves and their arms companies)
One can have factions even within supposedly unified groups such as political parties, why expect a global cabal of elites not to have factions too?
What's telling here is that Russia and China have clearly begun to coordinate more. India to some extent too (though less so because of their still active disputes with China). What happens here is a dress rehearsal for what happens in Taiwan within 10-15 years (anytime between tomorrow and 2037) - China will move in, Russia will back China and help cushion China from Western sanctions (or even a Western blockade of the South and East China Seas). And the same Rupee/Rouble payment system that India has proposed (and which is based off a system India used for Iran to get around Western sanctions) can be repurposed to include the Yuan in the future.
Theater at the finest. So very 'logical' strategic decision to attack a country after the pandemic is over! Not during the height when most of the people were ducking at home and scared to death of rona! Nooooo! When we are fed up with it and insurance companies are coming out wide and open regarding huge number of vaccine injuries. This 'war' just arrived at the most convenient time for everyone!
What will happen? A few months of back and forth and finally Russia will half retreat. They will not occupy ukraine to keep the bait alive. Also when new variant is here in October war will disappear and we are back at virus propaganda!
I'm of the opinion that this is an orchestrated distraction while the other efforts to continue pushing for a passport continues on while everyone is looking over there. I'm imagining two people slap-fighting each other for a show, albeit at the cost of some "collateral damage" of Ukrainian lives.

In the long run it will work out. But, Xi is looming…
Yeah, Russia are the bad guys and the US and their Nazi puppet government in the Ukraine are the good guys.
Oh yes I nearly forgot the current 2020 election scam was pioneered in the Ukraine in 2014 when Obama sent 1200 “election advisors” over to “help”. I know someone who organised this. This set the scene for the Biden crime dynasty to plunder the place. Let’s hope the MSM now takeS the Hunter Biden laptop seriously as it is stuffed to the gills with bent Ukraine deals...
Yes, the global lockstep to give a false sense of returning to “normal” (after all, the natives have been getting restless lately)…just like the lockstep 2 years ago to control us & usurp our freedoms.
I believe this is a ruse to distract from everything else. And an effort to sow chaos & confusion - it’s just wave after nauseating wave of harm & abuse - physically, psychologically, financially, socially, morally.
I read something that said on March 1, countries are quietly set to sign on to some new, binding “pandemic response” for the next one that will supposedly be binding & of course as bad or worse than we’ve already been subjected to. In the meantime, the useful idiots in the press have everyone distracted
I'm going to go with "all of the above", plus a few more.
To me, in the long run it doesn't matter what the reasons really are, the fact that we can see blatant synchronization between the government, banks, media and industry on everything right now tells me we are in for one wild ride.
Ukrainians I know tell me that 90% of the people there want Putin to kick Zelenskyy out. They see Zelenskyy as the WEF/Soros influence and they believe that Putin is not. Putin’s actions certainly benefit the Davos climate agenda in that they increase the price of fossil fuels and, therefore, make “green energy” more competitive. On the other hand, his actions can easily be interpreted as purely nationalistic because the price increase makes Russia richer and getting the Ukraine gives Russia more territory and mineral wealth. I think the real question is: on what side of the the WEF fence does Putin sit? I’m not convinced that he is presently a WEF’r. He might have been at one time, but there is certainly evidence that he is now Klaus Schwab’s prodigal son who is showing no inclination of returning home to father.
To see the people such as Build Back Better Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and co now pontificating on this war situation, after their grotesque handling of the Covid debacle over the past two years, is beyond sickening...
These people do seem to be intent on preserving never-ending fear, working on behalf of their globalist masters to enslave us. How much money is being shovelled over to vested interests on the back of manufactured crises such as Covid etc?
Guess Johnson hopes he's escaped scrutiny for 'Partygate' for a while...a war has conveniently popped up to deflect attention...
It's hard to know where to start and be brief. As I see it, the same formula on Ukraine is being used by deep state operators that has been deployed in the South Americas and elsewhere since WW2: 1) unseat/kill/maim/replace sitting president (duly elected or otherwise); 2) insert puppet regime bought and sold to do the bidding of the masters - pay them all off, blackmail and disappear the dissenters ("We came, we saw, he died... hahaha;" 3) plunder/pillage/exploit resources to fill the coffers of the criminal elite networks; 4) use the chaos as a foil to distract from domestic FUBARs in domestic politics/financial/economic/public health domains - "When all else fails, they take you to war"; 5) re-write/disregard/falsely represent recent history of the said country and keep destabilizing as it sinks further into the debt and clutches of globalist overlords (IMF, WEF, WHO, UN etc); and 5) pay off the mainstream media to feed constant fear porn and lies to a dazzled public ready to believe whatever they are told. The end.
No doubt, Putin batting for team WEF even if it may look as if he is pitting himself against them...
As to C19, same goal, different tool: fear and control
And finally, I still see the collapse of world financial systems as a goal (note, I think there are a few goals and this one may very well be means to another end). * C19 provided the opportunity to destroy small and medium business, and created dependence on the state for an income; * the stimulus to achieve that dependence is one of the big drivers for inflation together with the intentional destruction of the supply chain; * add to that energy insecurity and the effect on fuel prices (because of this war and policy decisions in response) you have another inflationary lever; * hyperinflation, when you get there, could well lead to the fall of major currency(or -ies) and with countries increasingly regulating crypto currencies you are a hop skip and a jump away from a social credit system linked to health, and finance (other things as well, but those I think are two most clearly visible from this scenario and two years of covid).
Glen Greenwald has an excellent piece on the topic:
https://rumble.com/vvrd3t-the-war-in-ukraine.html
i wouldnt put much stock on mr. adolf scwab. he is just a pawn. not sure why people seem to think he is somehow this mastermind that all world leaders go to. for starters that Davos thing was a harvard idea. they thought of developing such a forum under harvard university. as it happens mr. swab was at harvard at that time taking classes from kissinger. i guess we can connect the dots.
putin i suppose has taken a week vacation there based on kissinger suggestion. not much to read there, in fact there is nothing to read, the whole davos thing is a bs for the masses, none need to go to davos and publicize to the whole world they are meeting.
be aware of meetings we do not know are taking place, that is where real business happens ... as to adolf swab, i guess he got a good gig going all expenses paid playing big shot on tv, but that is it, nothing more to it, the guy got to be nobody.
Hard to say -this action serves many masters well. However, Ukraine is THE LAUNDRY for the deep state, many heads of countries, other politicians, NATO (see WEF), including Biden family, steeped in corruption. But most Ukrainians are innocent bystanders. Wish we could cut to the chase and go to war with deep state. And at the end of the day, it's great cover for whatever Biden, et al have in mind to sneak into our lives while our heads are turned.
It's hard to know what to believe. I do know that western governments are trampling our rights, and that if we don't put a stop to that soon some of us could eventually end up like this guy:
https://jeffcuttler.substack.com/p/worms-in-the-cheese?utm_source=url
Love him or loath him, I feel Putin at least acts in Russia's best interests, if only while they align with his own. Hell, even Xi seems to fight for China. Can't say the same for any Western leaders - bunch of corrupt, ideological sellouts.
Oh No someone bombed a bio lab and now some bad stuff has leaked out
#RussiaManBad
What does it mean for Putin to have been a WEF Young Leader? As a (former) KGB spy, maybe he just wants to know what they are up to, or bamboozle his enemies. Certainly, he is not toeing the globalist line on LGBT or climate change. When has he, unlike Western leaders, ever acted clearly against his country's interests?
I don't have any great insights to add to those below.
Putin is a Kleptocrat, a poker player, but also a Russian patriot, and his regime is a tightly-run and well organised gangster cabal.
The border issues with ethnic Russians in the Ukraine have been a running sore for the last decade or more, and 25,000 have died, with no end in sight.
Maybe he is just fed up, senses Western indecision under a weak and wobbly US President, and wants to get in to grab the gas and grain befoe the EU and NATO get there first?
Ukraine Blah Blah. NATO Blah Blah. Russia....

Good riddance of the labs. In a war we should go back to early times. Alexander the great rode at the head of his army
Biden as president ( cough, cough, bullshi*)has no moral high ground. One invades a country. The other steals it through a rigged election.
1. Another fact that supports the Putin-in-bed with the globalists argument is that evidently President Clinton vetted him and permitted Boris Yeltsin to handpick him as his successor. Also, even though many think Putin saved Syria, he waited way too late to intervene, reneged on some promises (like providing Syria with the best weapons), and still allows Israel to control the Syrian airspace and strike at will, and Syria is still not free of foreign interference. Also, he has not punished the oligarchs that raped Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
2. There are two sides to the psychological operation involving Russia; it may not be primarily intended to distract people in the West from the Covid operation, but to rally the people in that part of the World to support a greater World conflict. The Russian people have been given a narrative (as well as Chinese, Indian, and other populations), that Russia is the best hope to stop Western hegemony. Even though China competes for the hero's role, Russia is allowed to be the bad cop while China is the good cop trying to negotiate and trade with the West. This Russia-as-savior narrative has been building the last few years as the West's actions and rhetoric has intensified against Russia (reaching ever more ridiculous levels).
My guess is the average Russian is spitting mad and wants to put an end to the abuse they have taken. So while Putin states a rational casus belli for the Ukraine war, which is more intellectually honest than the NATO version, this could all be done to get the people in that part of the World to support a great war against the West. Especially if Russia wins a decisive victory in Ukraine (which is my guess of what the reality is).
3. We are in a fog of war so I don't believe anything I'm seeing (like with Covid). I'm not sure the Russians are bogged down. In fact, Russia may be demonstrating a military capability that will make recent U.S. military misadventures look extremely weak by comparison. See https://thesaker.is/russian-operation-in-the-ukraine-end-of-day-2/
4. My prediction is a number of parties want a greater war. How else to explain the crazy rhetoric and actions the West is taking? They did everything they could to start and continue this war, including the likely propaganda we're seeing now about how heroic Ukraine is resisting. I expect Poland to be the fuse that lights this all up into a greater conflagration (e.g. NATO forces more openly participating in this war via Poland). NATO is likely running this war for the Ukrainians and while Putin may be downplaying this for now, I can see him rationalizing an attack on Poland and the Baltics as a way to stave off a worse situation down the road. The parties are quickly escalating in all arenas.
5. So is Putin acting sincerely? The only way I can see this is if he's been in deep cover and participating in globalist ventures like the WEF (and including Covid!) as a way to bring down the globalists from the inside. Or, he had an epiphany and decided he needed to abandon his globalist pals and put Russia first (like Saddam in Iraq?). Or, Putin is really a master Judo statesman and was cautious in the past because he was picking the perfect time to get aggressive. Or, much of the evidence we have about him being compromised is based on false Western propaganda (e.g. Bill Clinton approving of Putin as Yeltsin's replacement). Who knows.
Someone who is more likely to be acting sincerely is Lukashenko in Belarus.
In any event, even if Putin is part of a globalist plan or not, he's playing his role nicely and we seem to be heading down a dark path that segued very nicely from the Covid operation. We were warned by Karl Swabby, repeatedly, that a cyber attack would be in our future so I'm sure that's going to play a role too. As well as energy disruptions and other aspects of the great reset.
the west cuts Russia from swift -> Russia turns to their RusCoin -> Russian hackers attack western financial infrastructure -> the west pulls their CBDC and connects it to the vaxx pass.
The played crisis leads to what the elites want - total control via CBDC both in the east and the west.
I personally go to a mountain monastery and try to live off the grid.
The transition from covid to warfare was seamless, efficient, and either a massive fluke in terms of timing or planned in advance. I don't know what way to think.
I suspect that this will fizzle out, after NATO back off a bit, though I may be thinking that becuase that is what I hope rather than what my gut says. What my gut does say, however, is that I ought to not blindly trust the same news orgs and politicians that have repeatedly lied for over 2yrs, just because it's boogeyman Russia.
Ukraine doesn't always have a nice history with Russia - the Holodomor, for instance, which fucked them over hugely. The Ukraine I think translates to 'the borderlands', which implies tumult in aeons gone by. I don't think what is happening now is particularly new, though then again I am by no means even close to an expert on geopolitics.
Lastly, passive aggression is still aggression. NATO is a passive aggressive entity, largely - including it moving into Ukraine. Always easy to deny aggression when it's passive; impossible to deny when it's overt, and also hard to look noble when it's overt as nobody likes bloodshed asides from rich men in suits.

Maybe targeting the biolabs to eliminate the evidence as investigations ensue.
The history is neglected by most commentators. I wrote about it 3 years ago & it is appropriate now so I created a new Substack with it here:
https://francesleader.substack.com/p/the-true-enemies-of-russia?utm_source=url
Two possibilities have come to mind for me as preliminary thoughts. I wrote this in a previous article:
The serious discussion here is about competition versus co-operation in the clearly global Biosecurity State agenda, and what balance of those factors currently exists between the West, Russia and China. The classic imperialist European powers competed over colonies while all agreeing about the importance of the maintenance of the colonial domination over Africa, Latin America and Asia, and indeed sometimes agreed on the division of colonies between themselves for mutual benefits. We are observing the same dynamic today, in which Russia, China and the West have colluded with the Covid narrative in order to increase domestic control over their populations while the West continues its imperialist adventures abroad (often opposed by Russia/China for their own reasons).
Following on from this is it depends what aspect of this is dominant, co operation or competition. If it's co operation, than the Ukraine action by Russia is a distraction from the failing Covid narrative & the obvious harm coming to light about the jabs. If its competition, than Putin has finally been pushed too far by the west (2014 Coup, Azov, war gaming, etc, as well as other lies like Russiagate, Skripals etc) and said fuck it.
Well, as the old adage applied to marriage says: What is argued about isn’t the issue.
The first observation is that there was never a substantive reason for Ukraine to become a global issue absent an ulterior motive. Oil was $41 a barrel in November 2020. It’s now nearing $100. Putin couldn’t be happier about that. But $150 would be even better. The price of crude is the single most important factor driving Putin’s domestic and global ambitions. None of it happens without money. And wars have been good for the price of oil for over 100 years.
The above is simply illustrative of the fact that the theories could go on and on, witness the bio-lab explanation or the Covid distraction/New Reset Vector(my personal favorite)
But pausing to look at history is always a worthwhile exercise. In Barbara Tuchman’s monumental book The March of Folly, she lays out the thesis that, from Troy to Vietnam, Incompetence may be a better explanation than Evil or Conspiracy for the planet’s human engineered debacles. I like to mix the 3 together, but never underestimate the pure power of one dumbass move begetting another, until the entire situation is out of anyone’s control. One could argue that this is what happened with Covid, and in the end, the cover-up became the thing. We shall see.
I saw a cartoon on Good Patriot’s newsletter that made me laugh out loud today. 2 men were speaking: “Hear about the War? Yes, that war.” “I don’t know what’s real anymore.” Well, that’s me. I didn’t believe any of it, initially, thinking it was a distraction. Then I saw livestreams and I am leaning toward option 4: WEF orchestrated. Part of the larger op. I understand how Putin has cause to respond for the violation of the agreements re his borders. Russia has also been implementing the Covid Psyop. He is a WEF graduate. So now, suddenly Ukraine’s an emergency? And he’s using the Left’s rationale for all their totalitarianism: Nazis! So, I will remain skeptical of all we see and hear.
October 2021 - Russia leading the way in the 4IR - https://www.weforum.org/press/2021/10/russia-joins-centre-for-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-network/
I vacillate, but 1 option you didn't list is that Putin is a primarily a nationalist striving to protect Russia & its oligarchs & its closest neighbors/relations from getting swallowed up by the Globalist nazi wolves.
Yes, WEF successfully recruited him to their ygl program & new program. Does that mean he vought into1 world gov under Klaus or anyone else? Maybe. Maybe not.
Yes, he meets & socializes with Kissinger. Ever hear the saying "keep your friends close & enemies closer?"
He's been biding his time since the soviet breakup to rebuild strength while US got bored with policing his neck of the woods.
It took dementia joe & his 2-bit hoe less than a year to run the US to the edge of a cliff. Now is the time for Putin to run the table, before Russian mud season begins and/or God sends a bolt of lightening & sets the US upright again.
I think perhaps they were really taken off-guard by the support the truckers received from undeniably "ordinary" "respectable" people who knew themselves not to be [insert your favorite Bad Group here], so for once the general public had no choice but to disbelieve the official narrative. And that support was growing everywhere. And heavy-handedness was finally boomeranging. So--"a little patriotic support for our leaders, please..."
Its all theatre, but that doesn't mean that that there isnt a little real malice in it all. After all, siblings have forever competed with each other, and sometimes to the death. I guess Daddy Shwab is encouraging the boys to put the boot in. Much like those gypsy families that watch their kids beat ten bales of shit out of each other while egging it on for entertainment.
I'm just curious what Fauci's new job will be. "2 weeks to flatten Russia"??????????????????
Let's just hope they are all wearing their masks and maintaining social distancing.
Good call out of the globalist community.
Many people still do not know or understand what it means that the Bolshevik Revolution was financed by Wall Street (just as Harriman Bank financed the Nazi Party), or that Mao was funded through the U.S. State Department (with a thin excuse of trickery, "He tricked us!").
How much is coordinated, and why? These details are difficult, but one thing that is for certain is that whatever story the corporate media feeds its viewers is whatever the behavioral economists think will get them to behave in the manners that they want.
But it is still best to ask more questions, and hold competing hypotheses in mind.
"Ukraine becoming part of NATO is something Russia won’t back away from and only diplomatic negotiations and a step back by NATO will stop them."
While not the most exciting one, it is the one that is demonstrably true. It also has the advantage of not invalidating any of the others.
To understand russian politics, you must do so from a the perspective of Russia as it is and what it was - its history. Otherwise the analysis will only be projection of what you think it should be.
A very simple example: how would the US (or any non-US country) fare under the same embargoes? How would your nation react to the same treatment and situations as Russia has lived through since 1995?
This is no endorsment of Russia's invasions of its neighbours: it's just that understanding something and endorsing it are two separate things. I mention that because I'm too use to the climate of debate here in Sweden where voicing opinions outside the state's narrative feels like you're Proctor and Mauser at the Blue Oyster Bar.

This is what has happened in the states while eyes are focused on Ukraine.
"A National Vaccine Pass Has Quietly Rolled Out – And Red States Are Getting On Board" https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2022/02/24/national-vaccine-quietly-rolled-out/?sh=2e4c83a66be6&fbclid=IwAR3vgEMA-c6qq987YjP4WYwMAFEqDIX5HQj6KbIbsTXFUuXrOfmJEslXOnc
Putin is learning what Hitler found out in Stalingrad, that hell hath no fury like a babuska with an AK-47. It is almost that Ukraine had to prove that it was a "for real" country and not a USSR escapee that would be better off back behind a new iron curtain. Their freedoms are being won again in blood. Virus has nothing to do with this. Besides, in the US Uncle Joe from Scranton will be telling us how great everything is Tuesday night. Going to have a hard time finding something, anything, he has not screwed up.
I think it is a mistake to assume that the elites forming the globalist cabal won't automatically have disputes and fights between them (after all the US and European Union countries are undoubtedly allies but that did not stop trade disputes over bananas and Airbus; nor did it stop a certain Ms Nuland saying the EU can go get screwed (in more vulgar language) when it came to Ukraine).
This isn't an organised distraction (though many in the West are milking it to serve as a distraction) but a real war with real stakes and real goals. Russia seems likely to reshape Ukraine to be at least something approaching Georgia, where it is chastened, and neutral and tries to carefully balance relational with Russia and the West even if economically it still maintains the EU association agreement. Ukraine becoming more like Belarus is also a possibility. Stephanie Brail (the Wholistic newsletter on substack) republished a timeline that was based on mainstream Western media sources that strongly hints at just how Western elites have gone against their own putative interests in collaborating with Chinese elites and how they effectively colonised Ukraine to turn into a rent-providing fief (when highly politically connected western persons with no experience in oil and gas can sit on a board of a Ukrainian energy company and be protected from investigation there is no other way to describe this than Western leaders duping ordinary Ukrainians about the prospects of joining the West while covertly turning Ukraine into a cash cow for themselves and their arms companies)
One can have factions even within supposedly unified groups such as political parties, why expect a global cabal of elites not to have factions too?
What's telling here is that Russia and China have clearly begun to coordinate more. India to some extent too (though less so because of their still active disputes with China). What happens here is a dress rehearsal for what happens in Taiwan within 10-15 years (anytime between tomorrow and 2037) - China will move in, Russia will back China and help cushion China from Western sanctions (or even a Western blockade of the South and East China Seas). And the same Rupee/Rouble payment system that India has proposed (and which is based off a system India used for Iran to get around Western sanctions) can be repurposed to include the Yuan in the future.
Theater at the finest. So very 'logical' strategic decision to attack a country after the pandemic is over! Not during the height when most of the people were ducking at home and scared to death of rona! Nooooo! When we are fed up with it and insurance companies are coming out wide and open regarding huge number of vaccine injuries. This 'war' just arrived at the most convenient time for everyone!
What will happen? A few months of back and forth and finally Russia will half retreat. They will not occupy ukraine to keep the bait alive. Also when new variant is here in October war will disappear and we are back at virus propaganda!
