It’s like another reality being fashioned in our realm, as Biden goes and Trump arrives.  Alexander Mercouris is clearly a Trump believer.  I am not quite so sure, but I’m prepared to listen to his views, especially as Mercouris and Chistoforou have a lot of knowledge about US politics, and let’s face it, it’s hard to find much hope in any other narrative or events.  Let’s try believing in Santa Claus even if it’s only for a day.  Is Trump simply a rebranding exercise or will he actually be able to change a few things?  End some wars?  Sanctions?  Inflation?  Pandemics?  Woke agendas?  Suppressing freedom of speech?  Child stealing by the state?  Technocracy?  Is Mercouris simply lost in his historical comparisons and inclined to see the evils of today’s world in the context of irrelevant past events?  Let’s try and believe….and find a few crumbs of hope.  Russia and China are ready to talk to Trump.  That at least would be an improvement on Biden.

Will the US really agree that the other global powers also have spheres of influence which cannot be intruded upon without war being the result?  Leopards don’t normally change their spots.  The globalists haven’t left Washington.  They probably want Russia to stop taking back the stolen East of Ukraine by creating peace now.  US self interest – exceptionalism – is just dressing itself up in sheep’s clothing for a season.  Mercouris has bought the story.  The globalists are acting up all hurt by Trump’s ‘retrenchment’.  Very likely!!

Emil Cosman says that the words sounded great, but what will the actions be?  Below Emil, who is sceptical comes Alex Krainer, who explains brilliantly how the CIA created the modern Ukraine to seize power, and direct the country into war.  They grabbed Ukraine using these methods.  Trump’s job is to create a peace to secure the gains.  Europe’s economy is collapsing.  Young men have no hope, and the process of building Brown Shirt movements and marches is starting.  These can be directed into war against Russia, and the US can withdraw from the frontline.  At 25 minutes Krainer brilliantly explains what is actually going on.  It feels like realism.

Inflation is rising.  The world has seen this formula before.  The EU will collapse.  Without US support, the financial system will collapse in Europe. The UK is becoming rapidly Orwellian, running fiscal and trade deficits.  The Bank Of England is ratcheting up huge losses which are passed onto the taxpayer.  How does the UK get into such a mess?  All empires collapse….the £ could see freefall, he says, like the Roman denarius.
