It's about Eurasian wealth vs Western wealth
First, to get the old news out of the way ...
-- no legitimate US banks have wanted to touch Trump for decades.
-- As Putins asset, Trump's massive money laundering, continued for years (probably not fully shown in his tax returns, either, but enough to add new articles of impeachment), will continue through other global banks as long as 45's moves keep to Putin's wealth war battle plan.
-- So 45, Wilbur Ross, McConnell and others have taken their cut while helping Putin's mafia launder his oil rouble.
This is not about the Democratic Primaries, though it could help. This is less about politics, and more about humans' future.
Climate doesnt care.
Second, Putin's wealth war is on the West. His goal is to take the best and smash the rest.
Trump is one of his commanders running short plays; he's not a general who runs major game plans. He's a "need to know" guy, thus the frequent, secret calls and visits to leaders who hate being sidelined on the battleground.
Putins generals are located near global banks, extra-jurisdictional free ports of tangible "hedge wealth," and hybrid cyber command. Right now, they're running psyops and small insurgencies.
We see financials going down in not all, but important Western member countries. We see joblessness desperation high in many Western countries, not just America. American money disengages more from both 1st and 2nd tiers of our economy (unsure about financial centers like London and Hong Kong).
To Putin's generals, domestic politics attracts anxious publics toward noise -- race, rights, morality, surveillance, scandal, real and fake news, sports and apocalyptic dramas and documentaries, the drumbeat of tweets -- away from the signals of Putins destabilizations.
Not in all western countries, but enough to create mass anxiety, distrust in communications and governments. Whether the FBIs foreign offices, under Chris Wray, might be misdirected by Wray to miss the big picture ... it's hard to know ... complicated by their oaths to the US Constitution.
We see that as long as the Saudi wealth world wants the West brought down for ideological reasons, it allies with Putin. For now. Muslim leaders know theyll have to deal with Putin's anti-muslim ideology later; Israel sits tight, keeps intel score.
Again, one can see the wealthy of the West hunker down, disengage from market excitements, close off lending access for average folks, increase then hoard all the liquidity they can, to ride out US and EU government moves against Putin's march.
After the Western Recession hits in 2020; after controlling Ukraine, Iran, Syria and the Kurds, Putin's march moves toward Europes eastern buffer states. Vulnerable Western Europe man their stations. Control of Western communications and winning logistics take over from there. All thats left is the Big Mop Up of fascist mafia governance and economics.
The War Plan:
Putin oil march > Ukraine, Iran, Syria with US and Saudi help > Putin Cyber Insurgencies
-->Wealth in the West Hunkers Down > Putin Cyber Commands The West --> Putin Extorts Western Wealth Control Through Cyber-Shutdowns Of Essential Net Operations on Utilities > Mop UP
The Counteroffensive:
New US and EU Forces (banking, corruption cleanup, trade, massive green projects, democratic voting and rule of law reforms) Push Back On Putin = Preserving the Petrodollar over the Rouble
Finally, winning 2020 might or might not win this "Putin vs West wealth war."
In 2020, if anyone has an economic and political plan to handle the upcoming Recession it will be Elizabeth Warrens and Joe Bidens.
If anyone can slow down or stop Putins moves, it will be Big Picture Liz, "Point Man Joe," and a Democratically controlled Senate.
Warren and Biden, to preserve the democratic way of life and business in the West, will
"sell" the wealthy on the use of their hoarded wealth to literally fund this war or lose their wealth.
Sell them on the fact that they all know where the best experts in the world are.
Sell them on the fact that Putin cuts no win-win deals when he has land base and cyber control. He'll get their money. No use running or hiding.
Warren and Biden know the deal. They will ask :
"Whats it gonna be -- "Mafia rule or democratic rule?
Which will you and your wealth not just feel, but BE safest under?
The West's wealthy will mobilize.
If they don't, Climate doesnt even care that "winter is coming for humans.
Thats the New news, like it or not.

(16,423 posts)A slight recession was expected to happen sometime 2020-2025 due to natural economic cycles. Trump's erratic behavior caused it to come earlier, but I doubt that that's all part of some big plan.

(36,053 posts)Do you doubt that Putin's trying to monopolize fossil profits while the West tries to go green?
Do you doubt he uses those profits to destabilize Western economies, tech and governments?

Saudi wealth now buys nuclear weaponry from us.
