First, the American offensive against Russia, along with most of the rest of
the world, is about things Americans like to call “facts on the ground,”
and these take time to create. The world wasn't made in a day, and it can't
be destroyed in a day (unless you use nuclear weapons, but then there is no
winning strategy for anyone, the US included). But the entire financial
house of cards can be destroyed rather quickly, and here Russia can achieve
a lot while risking little. Financially, Russia's position is so solid that
even the three Western credit ratings agencies don't have the gall to
downgrade Russia's rating, sanctions notwithstanding. This is a country that
is aggressively paying down its foreign debt, is running a record-high
budget surplus, has a positive balance of payments, is piling up physical
gold reserves, and not a month goes by that it doesn't sign a major
international trade deal (that circumvents the US dollar). In comparison,
the US is a dead man walking: unless it can continue rolling over trillions
of dollars in short-term debt every month at record-low interest rates, it
won't be able to pay the interest on its debt or its bills. Good-bye,
welfare state, hello riots. Good-bye military contractors and federal law
enforcement, hello mayhem and open borders. Now, changing “facts on the
ground” requires physical actions, whereas causing a financial stampede to
the exits just requires somebody to yell “Boo!” loudly and frighteningly
enough. | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 2 the American scheme of world domination through military aggression and
unlimited money-printing is failing before our eyes. The public has no
interest in any more “boots on the ground,” bombing campaigns do nothing
to reign in militants that Americans themselves helped organize and equip,
dollar hegemony is slipping away with each passing day, and the Federal
Reserve is fresh out of magic bullets and faces a choice between crashing
the stock market and crashing the bond market. In order to stop, or at least
forestall this downward slide into financial/economic/political oblivion,
the US must move quickly to undermine every competing economy in the world
through whatever means it has left at its disposal, be it a bombing campaign
, a revolution or a pandemic (although this last one can be a bit hard to
keep under control). Russia is an obvious target, because it is the only
country in the world that has had the gumption to actually show
international leadership in confronting the US and wrestling it down;
therefore, Russia must be punished first, to keep the others in line. |
