The Fight for Ukraine.

Is everything connected?

You’re going to have to do your own research to find the back story about the relationship between Russia/Ukraine/The west in general.

As far as I have read, there was a US sponsored coup against a democratically elected pro-Russian leader of Ukraine back in 2014 and a neo-nazi pro-USA government put in his place.

It’s as though the whole thing has been choreographed from the start. The West were saying for months that Russia was going to invade and threatened massive sanctions if they did and that’s exactly what has happened.

The West has gone into overdrive demonising everything Russian. The Ukraine was this sweet, innocent little country that’s now been victimised by its much bigger, evil neighbour.

For me, the best thing Putin could have done with all the Western hysteria was NOT invade. He would have made all the Western spokespeople look like idiots but he did it anyway on Feb 24.

Recently the price of oil has started to go down after spiking on 8th March but the longer the conflict goes on the more it will increase along with the price of natural Gas.

Right now it appears the West is taking a breather as they think they have contained Russia with sanctions and sourced alternative fuel supplies for the future…. No they haven’t but they are working hard to convince the populous of this.

If the conflict and the sanctions go on into April/May a lot of energy will be lost to the world in the form of oil, gas and fertiliser which means a lot less food in the near future. Prices will skyrocket and the whole worlds economy will plummet (its already started but don’t tell anyone)

So, is everything connected?

The world, as a whole is facing a massive demographic problem. Too many older people with not enough younger ones to support them as they retire.

There aren’t enough young people to generate the economic activity to pay the taxes and fund the pensions of the old. This had been known for quite some time but no one dare say.

A pension a form of debt and one of the easiest ways to get out from under a debt time bomb is to inflate it away.

Inflation started to rise due to the massive money printing that governments undertook due to the Covid pandemic and now, with a shortage of energy, demand for everything will increase, or stay the same yet supply will be severely constricted.

This, of course leads to higher prices (more inflation).

Most world leaders, including Russia & China know about the debt (demographic) time bomb so are they simply playing a game of chess amongst themselves where the ultimate losers will be everyone that isn’t connected to the top.

Is massive hardship coming down the road and are a lot of people going to die because of it? I hope for the best but fear the worst.

Well, at least it’ll help against global warming.
