Just some thoughts this morning in TRV…
Thought 1: I believe that with Trumps last spouting of about literally Washington putting the world on notice it actually is a sign that the US is going to default on national/world debt….that should be the final nail in the USA dollar coffin…
“We lose billions of dollars and if we didn’t do business with China we wouldn’t lose billions of dollars,” he said.””It’s called decoupling. So you’ll start thinking about it. You’ll start thinking they take our money and they spend it on building aeroplanes and building ships and building rockets and missiles.”Having described decoupling as “an interesting word” he went on to threaten to impose taxes and “tariffs” on US companies that “desert America to create jobs in China and other countries” and bar companies doing business in China from being awarded federal government contracts. He also referred to tax breaks for companies than onshore their activity.

It does not take a financial expert to see that default upon any debt is a bad thing and will erase the lifestyle which the USA is accustom to….if we are to be competitive with world wages and prices without the dollar being the main currency, we must cut wages in half at least and seriously, that would not do it….the dollar should never have been weaponized, yet it seems to be what they (within and without the USA.) want to do in the end….kill the dollar…
It really is down to default or war….lets hope for default!
There is a good proverb:
“Cutting off the nose to spite the face!”
Thought 2: This Russian vaccine is going be looked back on as not just a inhibitory to covid-19 but a huge step in vaccines generally. This is a truly historic product…

Again Russia has been working on this new vaccine for many years, because they understood that in the future things are changing….This is a whole new breed of vaccines now being developed…
Thought 3: Nord Stream 2 – I would have never built it. I would have concentrated on going East. So now Germany faces an issue. Nord Stream 2 is your saving grace to surviving. To be forced to buy expensive gas and oil will send your tempestuous economy to its death…
This is more than just trying to hurt Russia. Russia should not have trusted Germany and built the pipeline in the first place. But it is only money! I have said for years that you cannot and should not trust the West. Snakes are to be cautioned around…
My suggestion Germany; take the long term benefit and ignore the short term pain that the USA will try to destroy you with. I wonder how it feels Germany to see first hand how much despise the USA has for you and how they feel you are a puppet state for them?
It is time for Germany to sever the ties with the USA and with the UK. Go East and reap the benefits, instead of the sorrow…
Besides the pipeline is almost done and that ghost will stare Germany in the face as they pay ungodly prices for fuel to survive. The US wants Germany to buy their fracking gas and Germany will pay dearly for it…
Thought 4: Belarusian people? Hang on and that to will pass. Just look at Ukraine and see what a failed country looks like. Do not follow in Ukraine’s steps. Yes the West has kidnapped an opposition and yes the West wants your demise….additionally any country like Belarus and there are many right now. Stand strong and the people in those countries….do not fall for the lies from America and puppets…
Yes I know you will not listen. As a Ukrainian told me once; “The dream of democracy is so wonderful.”
Except democracy does not exist anywhere, at all, nowhere and especially within the USA…
