Very interesting Rand Report.
Rand: The very center of the neocon’s viper pit.
Yeah, the US/NATO has been focused on crushing Russia for a long time. The only surprise is how long it took Russia to act on it.
The globalists have targeted the U.S. and Russia because they see us as the two most nationalistic countries (of the ones that matter geopolitically, at least) that remain, and independence and sovereignty cannot be permitted in the new “global order.” Of course, there is a third, Communist China, but for now they mostly leave them alone as they believe that a strong China serves to weaken the other two, and many (all?) of them profit personally through China as well.
My supposition is that the global cabal believes that they can use China for their purposes now, and that when the time comes they will be able to subdue it and merge it into the global order. Good luck with that.
Plenty of their government contracted "influencers" here doing their thing, too. On the frankenshots, muh ukraine, hunter is really not a criminal, Trump hurt my feelings, etc...
That Rand paper is dated April 2022... and since it was published the Black Sea option seems off the table and several other options such as low oil price assumptions are upside down. Biden must have thought he could scream Russia, Russia, Russia again, again, and again mocking another world leader; but Biden could use the Government to attack Trump via the DNC infrastructure and can’t do the same with Putin. In fact, if America had a free press Biden would not be president now (corruption and Hunter) nor would have he been elected (corruption and Hunter).
