Geopolitical Focus – March 2023

AIs Joe Biden a world leader who is leading the Western world towards a utopia or towards a Stalinist era of power? While China has been traveling the world in Africa, the Middle East, and South America, and has recently visited Russia to strengthen its ties, offer financial and other aid, and secure resources in minerals, food, and energy (gas and oil), the US is busy keeping the NATO alliance together for the proxy war that Ukraine is fighting against Russia to prevent the creation of a Europe/Russia powerhouse.

Germany's industry is so heavily involved in China that it might be difficult to follow any sanctions that the US may impose, as everyone in Europe followed the US's lead on Russia. By now, all of Europe knows that the sanctions on Russia benefited the US the most, had no impact on Russia, and, thanks to a mild winter, averted a real crisis.

The oil and gas that Russia sent to the West as a result of sanctions is silently finding its way around the world, keeping costs bearable but still filling Russia's war chest. Russia, following its history, will not surrender. Putin might be replaced, but a regime change like in Ukraine will never happen, as Russia will not trust any influence that the US tries to wield.

The NATO East expansion, which is equivalent to an EU East expansion, is a pipe dream of the left-leaning globalist elite, which includes most of the hedge fund and PEG/VC culture, in their never-ending interest to gain more influence and power. ESG, inflation, and other current events are clearly filling their pockets. I cannot fathom shooting Ukraine to rubble; the endgame can only be the destruction of Russia. Good luck, Iraq is still Iraq, and so is Afghanistan, and both Napoleon and Hitler failed miserably.

So, what about the rest of the world? India and Pakistan have no interest in siding with anyone but will work with everyone peacefully. Taiwan, Japan, and our neighbors, Mexico and Canada, and the EU, which has no political mandate and acts as a totalitarian state, will be a real powerhouse. The rest of the world is no longer in our pocket.

At this stage, is it really worth having confrontational approaches, even within the US? Starting with the imprisonment of a former president on political grounds, claiming that January 6 was an insurrection, and jailing thousands of people, and bulldozing an ESG, woke, and green agenda on disguised infrastructure and inflation reduction act bills, and re-shoring battery and chip manufacturing, not to bring jobs back but as a defensive act to prevent being shut down by China. At the same time, destructive societal forces like Facebook, Soros, and other left-leaning political sponsors are meddling in elections and everyday activities. Note that Hungary's President Orban banned any Soros activity, which led Soros to invest in the US unchecked, much to the joy of Democrats. BLM and Antifa say thanks.

It is such a bizarre and busy White House, but there is no strategy or plan for an endgame. A Western utopia of the world disappearing under water because of global warming for 25 years, Greta Thunberg becoming an honorary science doctor without the slightest clue of science, and Democrats disguising themselves as fascists to discredit anyone who does not believe in ESG, woke, and zero emissions while the rest of the world, which we call dictatorships, uses and combines all forms of energy to drive.

Perhaps it is time for Afghanistan in Ukraine. Tell Mr. Zelinski that he is down to 1/4th of his army. Germany may send tanks but no people, and NATO's 25,000 are no match for Russia. If Biden sends active troops to Ukraine, Taiwan will inevitably become a battleground. Do we think we can build battery and chip plants fast enough? Perhaps humility and an end to NATO East is a small price to pay. Sorry hedge funds and Zelinski, the world is bigger and better without aggression. The Maidan Coup, if history will prevail, will be the culprit.

Mr. Biden, you may dream of being the world leader, but the world's jokester may be the endgame. Keep Mr. 45 out of jail and start negotiations as a real Catholic, humble and honest, around the globe and within the US. Currently, your party, especially the left-leaning part and Dr. Fauci, are the only fascist-trending factions, including BLM and Antifa. The others, with a few exceptions, are peaceful protesters.

Just as a freebie, using sporting events to coerce people to wear uniforms for solidarity and excluding them without committing a crime other than thought is a real fascist move. Sport is a uniter; see black people on soccer or any other sport, a real tool for social change. Do not misuse it for coercion of issues of only political minority interest. Perhaps if the US government (admin) were as politically diverse as it is biological, hope would be on its way.
