I'm guessing that the amerikkkan "rule based order" doesn't jive w/both China and Russia international law based order. The so called vacuum was meant to be filled by the country given independence after USSR broke up, it wasn't meant for a "defensive organization NATO" to spread it's wings. What's also quite a mystery is how most of the countries added to NATO border the Atlantic. After all NATO is only another arm of Empire, nothing less. thanks for the video's as I am now watching the Soviet Storm series for a refresher course

Interesting comment over at MOA moonofalabama.org Re WWIII... A while back I hypothesized that China's Covid lockdown wasn't really about Covid, that it was a stealth economic move in the global economic war. How to push back on the USA's drumbeat of war w/o firing bullets? Economics is always the first weapon used in war. I doubt that anyone here will argue that a crashed US economy is going to put a HUGE dent in the USA's militarism activities. Anyway, I was somewhat pleased(?) to see that I'm not the only one to think of this (though I'll claim having, somewhere, written about it before Larry did). sonar21.com Now for a newsflash (I am burying the lede)–China is using Covid as a convenient excuse to sabotage the U.S. economy and it is helping fuel inflation. People that I've mentioned this to question why China would subject its own citizens to such horrors. It's a gamble. Buy some time hoping that the US will collapse before it attempts to wage all out military war against China. Easier to recover from lockdown trauma than to recover from death. There is really no other sane excuse as to why China is locking down Shanghai. China isn't going to defy nature/physics and magically ward off COVID: especially when they're still allowing inbound flights/travel. Chinese are NOT stupid. Interestingly the lockdown has nearly, time-wise, paralleled Russia's invasion of Ukraine. One could almost sense a tag-team operation in all of this. China is talking about easing the lockdown; perhaps we can expect a breakthrough in Ukraine? Posted by: Seer \| May 14 2022 16:07 utc \| 252
