Russia -- September 17, 2022

Added later: Orwell quote --

A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.

Complex weapon? Nukes.

Simple weapon? Drones.

My hunch: US intelligence network is having incredible successes we will never hear about. 

I am currently reading this book, published September 13, 2022.

It's impossible to read this book, then look at what is happening on Russia's southern border, and not think there is some connection between the intelligent network of the US and what's going on in that geographic area between Moscow (37.6173° E) and Tehran (51.3347° E). 

China-Russia Axis
Not All It's Cracked Up To Be

Putin's meeting with Xi highlights Russia's waning status on the world stage, link here.

  • Chinese President Xi Jingping met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time since the start of the Ukraine war.
  • The two discussed Taiwan, Ukraine, and more, with China emphasizing finding a balance between Russia and the West.
  • While Xi in many respects doubled down on China's relationship with Russia while in Uzbekistan, the Chinese leader has show sensitivity to Eurasia’s growing anxieties over Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

Putin's goal only a few years ago was to re-establish the Russian Empire, weaken NATO, and work to break up the EU.

The former Russian Empire seems in worse shape than ever (see below) and NATO has added two more countries (Sweden and Finland).

US is arming Poland to the teeth, as they say, and now there is talk of long-range missiles being moved to Ukraine. 

Biden's militarization of eastern Europe is said-to-be "generational."

Russia's southern border is on fire:



Cataclysmic losses / outsized opportunities: link here.

Biden's military-industrial complex. Link here. From my favorite geo-political strategist.

Russia: crude oil production starting to drop?
