final exam time soon, maybe, perhaps, possibly, let's see
I remain agnostic but must admit that Armstrong's war-cycle reckoning has been spot-on / close-enough, and his figurings re gold (not yet ready for prime time) has also been good.
Here is a recent Armstrong interview about war, gold, etc etc, that I aim to watch this day, to soak in it, to counterbalance what otherwise is a very nice or 'noice' Friday when I wait for the Jack to reappear at the gates of Ocean Park after a 'glamping' outing with his friends and some brave parental units who chaperoned 8 boyz
All I can say is that a think tank has recommended to the White House that they need to attack the pipelines through Turkey to further isolate the Russian economy. Meanwhile, China has [told] the White House as if they even listen, that is Ukraine entering NATO, there will be a nuclear war. If Biden now allows the destruction of the South Stream Pipeline, that confirms that the Biden Administration has effectively declared war on Russia and is strategically trying to destroy its economy while supporting the Neo-Nazis of Ukraine and their ethnic cleansing.
Russia has cut off Italy from gas. This is just amazing that we have such absolutely stupid world leaders who are pushing the entire world to the brink of nuclear war all because of Ukraine, which refuses to seek peace and is on a vengeful hatred against all Russian-speaking people, including those who have lived in the Donbas all their lives. There is not a single leader in the West who will stand up and say this is insane.
When I look at Natural Gas, there is also a Panic Cycle there in November. My concern is that Putin is under tremendous pressure, and he is a MODERATE leader. He has set aside the leader of Chechyna, who called for a tactical nuclear strike, saying it was a balanced approach. The hardliners do not agree with that position, and Russia is being humiliated on the world stage. Ukraine and the West may get their wish, and Putin could be voted out. If that takes place, you will see a real hardliner come to power, and they will not be afraid of nukes. One sub can fire off the coast of the US on Washington and take out the city before Biden could make it to his helicopter.
The only way this may get cooled off is if China outright comes out and declares solidarity with Russia. Maybe then, just maybe, these brain-dead leaders in the West might just ask someone with a brain; Would that be bad?
Elon Musk has now joined with Henry Kissinger in calling for a settlement. The Ukrainians started bashing Musk, and they are filled with such hatred they are hell-bent on destroying the entire world for their vengeance.
