An essay in futility, too long to read :)

With USA more or less demanding the West to bolster its debts. It's about winners and losers, and where USA crash economically, so will we. It's pretty easy to guess where those invested in it will turn. Especially as we're driving three major wars today.

The Middle East

Russia

China

This is interesting though

"Reports say that Umarov wants to find a way to make the Istanbul negotiations work while Zelensky is making every effort to scuttle them. Despite the latest attacks inside Russia, the Russians also appear to still want to try and see if progress can be made."

It fits my expectations of our 'new Churchill's' behaviors, and what you can expect to come from those 'peace negotiations'. As for Russia's 'willingness' though? Dipping its toe to feel the temperature ...

As for me, I sincerely doubt Mr Trump to feel inclined to get more involved in a war with yet another nuclear 'super power'. China should be quite enough and Israel - the Middle East.

Let's add India - Pakistan, and Bangladesh. All three in civilian and military turmoil, with global warming hitting each one of them harder for each year coming. Two of them nuclear and ready. And then China, and damming. The new blackmail...
