#jordanpeterson raises a great point about why he would #bet on the #west over #china 's #ccp https://youtube.com/watch?v=4De8xhcknGE His main point is that the #diversity of #thought allows for #mistakes to be easily #recovered from.
As this #article points out, a large amount of the #world is #refusing to #sanction #russia - if anything the #us and #west is actually becoming more #idolated https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/w.. This entire thing may end up #backfiring ...
#india #buy #russia 's #cheap #oil , despite #warnings from the #west https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i.. They are also a massive #importer of #russian #weapons - let's see how well that works out for them.
So #china is now rattling off about #taiwan again: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. The problem is the #west cannot #afford to #fight #russia and #china at the same time. I think they realise this and may seize the #opportunity ... Problem is, #china 's #ccp are ill #prepared to take #advantage of the current #geopolitics - they would need a #force of something like 1 million #soldiers to take #taiwan .
Well shit, looks like the #eu are actually going to cut #russia out of #swift https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/c.. This means they are likely to #retaliate by cutting of #gas and #oil to all of the #west , whilst getting more friendly with #china .
Apparently now #northkorea have a #hypersonic #missile - I'm sure this has nothing to do with #china 's #ccp https://www.lotuseaters.com/north-korea-.. Bare in mind that not even #russia has one yet. I believe the #west will quickly full behind if we don't start large #military #investment really quickly.
Worth a #read of the crazy #games #china 's #ccp are playing with the #west 's #markets https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-..
#russia 's #putin is now talking of " #redlines ", adopting #language used by #china 's #ccp https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/p.. Even so, it appears the #west and #eu refuse to take #russian #threats seriously - perhaps the #emperorhasnoclothes ?
#china 's #ccp have demanded that the #us end all #contact with #taiwan https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. To that I suggest they tell their story walking. The #us and #west are well within their rights to *speak* to any #country they like.
#china 's #ccp are *really* looking to #decouple from the #west and #us #economies https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/f.. This in itself will have *massive* #consequences for both economies.
#crypto #regulation in the #west incoming - you have been warned: https://www.reuters.com/business/g7-fina.. Now #centralized #banks want a bit of that action, after even #paymentprocessors have been tangled up in it.
Seems like the #us and #uk are #poking #russia in #kaliningrad https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. It's common #knowledge that #russia also does the same to the #west - by sending #reconnaissance #aircraft to #scotland regularly for example. It really does feel like #russia is a sleeping giant when it comes to #global #threats - but in this #climate I still think they #align better as an #ally ...
The problem is with dismantling the #spaceforce , #democrats , is that if other #state #actors have a #military presence in #space - the #us and #west *must* also: https://timcast.com/news/democrat-lawmak.. How the fuck do you think #gps works? Or #satellite #communications ? What do you think will happen if these things are targetted #strategically ? Perhaps we need to reframe this in terms of a #twitter #outage to make them care...
I think we are starting to see these large #financial movers begin to pick a side in the upcoming #coldwar with #china vs the #west https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/blackr.. #blackrock appear to have found their side, #investing *more* into the #chinese #economy despite the #property #market #bubble ! Time will tell how successful that strategy will be. I really suspect it will not be smooth sailing for the next few years...
I *really* think there is actually a #market for these mini #electric #vehicle designs in the #west - but these tend to sell to #mainland #china only: https://gadgettendency.com/a-modern-elec.. Specifically these little #cars would be great for non- #motorway use, i.e. #local #shopping and/or #deliveries - #school #pickups , etc. I think the market is there if somebody is willing to do the #investment !

The make or break in my opinion is which side #russia fall on - the #west would struggle with a multi-front #war ... In the grand scheme of things, it's good that the #us and #uk are now out of #afghanistan as they will be able to #focus on the growing #global #threats ...#serpentza is very much on the money when it comes to #china and the #ccp - he lived in #china - has a #chinese #wife and understands the #culture well. Mark his words when he warns that the #ccp are declaring #war https://youtu.be/6xcvDMDg8TY These are *strong* words. Take this seriously.
