  1. Really doesn’t look good for the US Dollar as they’ve agreed in a 30 year contract in EURO’S.
    All our made in China tends to break and laws in place impossible to make here.
    Long game is countries jumping in with the China/Russia alliance.
    Gold baby…gold backed currency.
    US used to have it but gave it up to run massive credit schemes.

    1. So many great things happening:
      The great rearranging
      The great reset
      Make America great again
      The great gazoo
      All we need now is the great revolution to avoid another Great Depression.
      On a more serious note, North America has everything it needs (abundant energy being the most important) to restart a new and away from the current world economic system. Food production is tantamount and we have it for the most part including potassium fertilizer in Canada. (We can make it without bananas, pineapples and dates etc)
      We have military might to protect ourselves from attack as long as Armageddon through all out nuclear exchanges occur.
      Then it’s game over…Picture Justin riding a horse discovering the parliament tower leaning in the sand: « they did it, those truckers blew it up, damn you all to hell! »

        1. You beat me to it, but I agree completely, we have the opportunity, but do we have the leadership and/or wherewithal to go through with it?

          Make the Americas Great: Made in the Greater Americas!

          1. I answered you on your post below. When everything goes haywire and famine start to rear it’s ugly head then things change quickly…the biggest uncertainty is anarchy which could severely slow down the change required.
            Society is much softer and spoiled then when the Great Depression of the 30’s occurred.
            Again our greatest fear should be nuclear annihilation.

        1. Well Putin might be justified in unleashing canned sunshine on DC and it’s government.
          Yesterday Senator Miss Lindsay Graham openly called out for the assassination of said leader of nuclear weapons equipped Russia.
          Miss Lindsay should be expelled from the Senate for that remark alone, unless ALL Senators and the USA Government are in agreement.
          Thems fighting words to an ex-KGB assassin and one with no empathy at all to his enemies.

          DC better watch the rethoric or a mushroom cloud could form above their heads.
          Putin would absolutely be justified.
          Miss Lindsay needs to be shown the door and NOW.

    2. Right & as Russia just removed the VAT tax on gold: “Halturnerradioshow.com reports: Nobody around the world will favor a US dollar, backed by nothing, from a nation $30 TRILLION in debt, versus a gold-backed Ruble.”

  2. This Russia-Ukraine escalation looks more-and-more like phase 2 of a bigger war.
    Phase 1 was Wuhan Flu, won by China who was the only one to be on plus side these 2 years. Another ‘plus’ for China from this Phase 1: they managed to place a puppet @WH, Xiden.
    This Phase 2 (Ukraine escalation) is a China war by proxy: EU + USA are busy with this conflict, meanwhile Russia is redirecting everything to China + Russia getting back control of the former USSR (Putin’s wet dream) – China doesn’t care, they have no beef in Russia’s dealings in E Europe. But the big winner is China again: they get more energy supplies + other raw materials from Russia. Probably SWIFT will become irrelevant and replaced by Chinese Banking System.

  4. ” So Many Holes In SWIFT Sanctions On Russia, They Are Useless”

    Ergo, they were never meant to be useful . . . against Russia.

  5. If the Americas (North and South) were smart, we would form our own trade/economic partnerships.
    From the North Pole to the South, one whole side of the planet, there shouldn’t be any resources lacking, that we would have to look outside of our area to obtain.

    Is it likely to happen? With the current leaderships, in Canada and the USA, thinking no..

    1. Zon, I declare you our new revolution leader to remove our current leaderships and move ahead with your brilliant and very plausible idea.
      Phuck the one world entity and Klaus Schwab. May the Americas be independent and prosperous.

      1. I’d need a helping hand, that is a vast area and idea to flesh out!

        First order of business: Free Tamara Lich and get the truckers their trucks back!
        Get a pole to pole railway network sorted out, so everyone is on the same gauge, I mean page. Then, liberate all the ports! We’d have the Panama Canal, the Tierra Del Fuego and once melted, the Northwest Passage!

        Let Russia and Europe be filled with cheap Chinese junk, we can make everything we need, with better quality, right here in the Americas! We’d have one of the worlds largest economies and some of the worlds largest countries all working together for a common goal.

        All like minded, are welcome to join!

        From sea to shining sea, from pole to (melting) pole!

        1. The pole expands in the winter and shrinks in the summer…abundant icebergs floating in the North Atlantic during summer always tells us the North Pole is fine…the day we stop seeing large abundant icebergs we should start to worry …a part from that I’m with you 100%.

          1. Yes, Metalguru, I was being a bit Facetious, as I am wont to do, with such a grand idea..

            I did read your replies, mea culpa for the disjointed posts..

            I agree, the hardest part of any such endeavour would be solidarity/unity… Heck, we cannot even agree to fight for freedom, or what it means, here in my own country of Canada!

        3. The Arctic isn’t going to be ice free anytime soon. We will also need another General Pinochet to clean up alot of South America.

  6. Wait, you mean to tell me Russia has the oil and gas Europe can’t do without, the Chinese want to buy it, and Russia also controls a large amount of the world’s food supply and China owns the tech everyone wants?
    Russia is in big trouble now eh boys?
    By the way, you might ask yourself this question, What is money?
    Be honest with yourself.
    Have a nice day.

    1. Russia does have its work cut out for it in securing modern, advanced chip to keep their cyber infrastructure running. Intel and AMD have stopped shipments to Russia, and there are only 2 manufacturing plants on the planet capable of making said high-end chips, one in Europe, and one in the USA. These cannot be replaced by Chinese equipment. I’m guessing that Russia will run them through a 3rd party nation in order to secure what she needs.

    2. « What is money? »
      My best answer in the context we are living in is:
      Money will give you severe stomach pain, has no nutritional value whatsoever and will surely end you with acute constipation.

  7. Russia is an irrelevant shithole to China. It’s economy is 1/10 or 1/20 the US. Their exports are commodities that only require seaport access to sell in any quantity to any buyer. They likely import very little plastic shit from China that breaks down in a month because Russia is an economic dead zone, third world. Lots of potential but a corrupt quagmire.

    1. Yes, but Russia is relevant to China for energy/natural resources to exploit. And China doesn’t care if Russia is good or bad, corrupt or not. As long as Xi takes over energy/natural resources supplies from Europe’s hands – all’s well.

  8. Western Canadian grain farmers are the ones who will get screwed here. Grain exports to Russia and China getting cut-off will drive farm revenues even lower.
    My dad expected the syndicates to eventually take over farming. That was back in the early 1970’s he predicted that.

    1. There are a LOT more nations around the world with starving populations caused by the supply chain disruptions and now Russia, Russia, Russia, that could use that grain.
      Unfortunately, I don’t think they could afford to buy it.

  9. Whatever the arguments about the putative causes of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they have become entirely moot – overtaken by events, as it were.

    To put it in Lincoln’s words, “as our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves…”

    (I just have no real confidence that the present crop of leaders in the West is capable of doing that. It’s almost as if Churchill never took the job of PM in 1940 and the Chamberlain government carried on, attempting to prosecute the war by relying on past policy failures.)

  10. It is generally acknowledged that George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth was partly an unflattering caricature of the BBC of his day.

    MiniTrue are pulling their staff out of the Russian Federation, being unable to still pretend they tell fewer lies than the Russians. They can slander Putin in London.

    1. You do realize that no matter how you try to paint this situation, you end up in the unenviable position of being an apologist for Russia?

      1. Russia can defend herself, and is doing just that.

        I’m pointing out what I use as my epithet. That’s all.

      2. JJM:
        You do realize that no matter how you try to paint this situation, you end up in the unenviable position of being an apologist for the WEF?

  11. I have aboot 150 ounces of silver for a rainy day.
    Hopefully the rain isn’t full of strontium 90.

  12. China’s plan is to let Russia do the hard work of destroying the west, allowing China to succeed the western Empire of Lies of master of humanity, with Russia as its vassal, without anybody’s little emperor being put in harm’s way.

    Xi’s not the genius he pretends to be. If Russia were happy to be anybody’s vassal, this would not be happening.

    1. Our little emperor, PM Dickspank of Blackface, must be getting really upset that ‘lil Xi has found himself a new playmate, with a bigger backyard to play in and taken PM’s toys, to go off and play with his new freinds !

      Whaaa whaaa!!

      Watch PM torture his citizens to try and curry favor again..

    1. The gentleman you refer to isn’t a neo-con. He’s a Polish chauvinist.

      Neo-cons would know better than to dehumanize the people they wanted bombed quite so blatantly.

  15. Even though the linked article “How China Overtook the U.S. As the World’s Trade Partner ” does not say that Trump was right , does not even mention Trump, the facts they present are SCREAMING loud and clear; TRUMP WAS RIGHT !!!

    Trump was making the USA stronger, better and was 100% right to do it. And Trump was right about China.

    Democrats are doing their best to weaken the USA…calling them traitors would not be crazy…

  16. Yep it is a great rearranging and it’d be nice to garb a bit of control of such.

    Zon’s the fortress Americas or breadbasket economic consolidate Americas is a grand direction, but first we have to ̶k̶i̶l̶l̶ gently and politely remove all the ̶l̶a̶w̶y̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶ Davos, you’ll have nothing and be happy, new world order, we are your betters and you must obey, alleged leaders.

  17. Re: “How China overtook the U. S. as the world’s major trading partner.” Didn’t read the article so I don’t know if this was touched on but, the primary mechanism for China’s ascendance was intellectual property theft. Just ask Nortel.

    1. True they did steal a lot of ideas from us, but Leftists politicians helped them tremendously in many ways.

      Leftists basically hate the USA and will help anyone who wants to weaken the USA.

    2. Nortel went under because of gross fiscal mismanagement.
      Their executive office lounges had walk-in humidors, Dom Perignon and Louis IX cognac.
      They had a system furniture setup that cost $10 000/station, and had 2-3 full time system furniture installers on-site, full time. I was one of them. I once asked a Nortel employee if I could borrow a pen, he gave me a box with $100 worth of pens in it. (12 nice pens, worth about $10 each)
      Desk lamps, paper and stationary handling equipment, etc, was going home with the employees as fast as we could bring in replacements.

        1. Was this at their HQ in Brampton ?.
          I did some work in there after they went bankrupt , removing some stuff.
