The Russian SMO has continued to steadily accelerate for a couple years. On the economic, espionage, political, diplomatic fronts, the world has changed in these last few years in ways you might never know (if you haven’t noticed already). 2025 should go down in history as the year all the world shifted into a new era. And that will only be recognized by most people as they gawk in the rear view mirror, many years from now. But then again: Maybe we should hold onto our seats and see what 2026 brings…
But there’s no hiding the fact that USA’s Ukraine strategies have turned into a net loss that will probably reverberate indefinitely.

With India and China having moved away from the US dollar, Washington now lacks the means to track the volume of oil being imported by these nations, as it falls outside the US dollar framework…
Russia is poised to significantly weaken Western influence to ensure that the West cannot challenge Russia again in the future…
Anticipating Western developments and reactions, Russia has made and did make the necessary preparations…
Thus, we now know the West prohibits Russia from articulating its fundamental demands or addressing the underlying issues that need resolution. Russia is not permitted to pursue its own goals, objectives, or interest. Russia said to the West, “Stick it up your ass!”
The US national debt has surpassed $37trillion in August and now $38trillion in October, increasing at a rate that outpaces a snowball rolling off a mountain top…

The Western cult of Mammon cannot accept a decline in its dominance, which is why Trump serves as their last resort, albeit an ineffective one, leading to a sense of urgency. This process is in the works for a Trump third term. Moscow only needs to bide its time until 2027, when the US federal government’s insolvency crisis is expected to escalate significantly…
In essence, empires tend to double down rather than seek compromise…
