I want to emphasize, without having time to ponder more, one point I just made: what if the Chinese are covertly behind the anti-Russian narrative? Nobody is talking about the Chinese. They are a massive nation, but one in which its people hate its government, which has last I read, hundreds of thousands of protests every year, suppressed by force. Which depends entirely on exports, and which even with those is not thriving economically.
Much of this requires much more knowledge than I have or am equipped to acquire for some time.
But always remember all the players, particularly when one of them is not playing any VISIBLE role.
The Saudis, of course, are another player. They donated some $200 million to Hillary’s campaign, or so I read. That is a lot of money. And that is the VISIBLE money.
