Re <<CB in Russia seems to be in good hands>> ... fractal scaled up to financial / monetary war, territorial conflict / resource campaign / ... a lot of friends and enemies setups.
What we have is enormous chaos, crisis, volatilities all over the planet, involving clash of folks, splash of values, quake of climates, ... and at the core, what happens between USA and China, either common destiny win-win / lose-lose, or zero-sum of win-lose / lose-win setup.
the Chinese say,
small success requires friends big success requires enemies Supposing we are not in any mere variation of simple geostrategic Cold War x.x, but further premising we are in struggle amongst civilisations, then we are rapidly veering from the known and already well deeply in the unknown, civilisational conflict x.x.
In such a setup, we look anew at the criticality of issue that rules over all other issues in the case of the USA / Nato / Ukraine / Russia / Global South / (China?) play, and the concurrent intersect of USA / Nato / Israel / Palestine / Iran / Global South / Russia / (China?) drama, and might come to appreciate what might be happening.
I believe Team China Jinping laid down the cards with Team Biden without any ambiguity. I further believe everything should work out even as it shall take time for Team USA to get used to the idea of win-win, appreciate the possibilities of lose-lose.
The setup of the range possibilities all require moolah ... lots and lots of moolah.
Even as shall eventually be so, China requires USA and USA needs China. |
