#1 Last week Russia's exclusion from SWIFT spelled the end of globalism; now it's an essential step.

#2 Do people not really understand that there are all different kinds of points of view out there and that they're going to have different interpretations of events? Are people really that simple-minded?

#4 The economic implications of this war will be so disastrous that governments and the public sector will require a significant injection of private capital to address the financing shortfall

Well of course. How to Destroy A Democratic Republic in Five Easy Steps

1. Spin up Russia Hoax, Steal election (operation Anti-Orange Revolution), Grab Power

2. Spin up Plague Hoax, Grab More Power, Crush Main Street

3. Use recession to justify $5T in new spending, 90% of it needless by its own standards, and set off Hyperinflation

4. Along with #3, Stoke even more Inflation by choking off new O&G production, and Pummel the US middle class

5. Encourage Ruritanian jokers to poke the Bear and provoke a war that's none of our business, then impose the Mother of All Sanctions on the world's biggest wheat and precious metals exporter so as to destroy what's left of the American middle class

#5 Who knew Herb was such a "lie back and think of the Union Jack" type of girl?

#6 Thanks to Putin's foolishness, American farmers look to have a very profitable year with exports in big demand. Only hope they planted more wheat and less soy for Chinese pigs.

As for metals, live with a few less stainless steel clad appliances for a few years. The style is worn out and out of fashion.

#7 It's now official: Chief Shill Paul Krugman joins in the gaslighting with the approved 2022 Campaign propaganda line:
"we’ve come into the Putin shock with uncomfortably high inflation."

#8 ^ I don't think that gaslighting will work much. Most Americans interest in the Ukraine mess stops at "we don't want to be involved," (as it should.) They don't look at it in the depth that's going on here.

/\ Exactly correct. Something akin to getting the snooty French waiter the third time in a row.

You just don't go back.

#11 I was not aware Israel is keen on the Great Reset (point 7).

#13 "operation Anti-Orange Revolution" That line had me chuckling. I also enjoyed the reference to Ruritania.

#14 I just re-read and Anti-Orange Revolution line and realized it probably meant against the Orange-revolution in Ukraine, but I read it as anti-Trump revolution.

#15 ^ correct. Orange (Ukraine) is sacred, Orange (Trump) is the Reprobate Prince of Darkness
