This dude that I mentioned earlier who "has his own understanding of geopolitics and predicted Russia would start a war way before the actual start of the war" is either triping or being an absolute genius. He is making some wild wild claims.

1) Russia is rushing towards Lviv, and might have actually reached Ukraine-Polish border.
2) There will be a wave of anti-China hate crime, in western countries, the more baizuo(white left) the country is, the more severe the situation will be.

I just don't know man... If what he said is true, this world is too complicated for a pleb like me.

He is calculating the speed of Russian advances by measuring the time between the two streaming cameras stopped streaming in Ukraine and the distance between the two streaming cameras. So, Russians travelled 12-20km within 12 minutes.

He also said that there is already contact with Russians in Lviv. Holy shit!

Some times I think that Xi might end up the “winner” of the 21st geopolitics not because he is so much wiser and more cunning than the other heads of states, but because he is patient and willing to wait. Think about how long he kept a low profile before ascension as Chairman and General secretary. Think about how long he waited till it was the right moment to pounce and purge Zhou Yong Kang and Xu Caihou. Think about how when everyone is made about the Hong Kong riots and wanted China to send in the paramilitary but Xi kept his cool and a year after, when the opportunity was right. Boom, national security laws.

This is why I think worries about supposed lack of Chinese response to US tech ban, trade war, Taiwan, South China Sea intrusions, etc. are unfounded. When Xi deems that the conditions are right, he will pounce.

He probably doesn't want to, but this SWIFT propaganda has gotten to everyone's heads that it will smh force Putin to surrender and punish him.

All we can do is, hope and pray that Sleepy Joe will do it. The Financial Empire of the US is 1 of the 2 pillars ( the other is the military) holding the US Hegemony at place.

We must and we should do everything possible to accelerate the collapse of this pillar. Kicking out Russia would be a tremendous boost on these efforts. Xi should be calling him right now and pushing him to do it..

Once the financial pillar collapses, the military pillar and technological pillar will collapse too. The dollar funds the empire.

Reading comments from social media and sites like reddit you'd get the impression that Ukraine is winning while in reality Russian forces advancing all the time and this happens even on multiple military forums where people should know better.

Weird hysteria gripping people... everything coming from Ukrainian side is taken as fact even if it's random twitter account.

@9dashline Thanks bro always happy to learned something new and be corrected, BUT I always believed there are pragmaticism in America cause a defeat or even a draw spell the end of American exceptionalism and its empire, and IF MAD is the option then everybody lose especially the oligarchy elites. Right now the US bluster and bluff had been called by Russia and the American respond are weak, that shows you that they're afraid of using MAD as a strategy. It is against their woke culture of Instant gratification. From my perspective by 2025 when Trump assume the presidency he will do a Nixon on both Russia and China and focus on battling the deep state and the establish elite, He had taste humiliation from them and will seek revenge.

The, do a Nixon thing, are you implying that Trump will accept that the multipolar world is here to stay, and work with both on "equal terms"?

I'm afraid kicking Russia out of SWIFT will have to wait a few days because:
Biden is off for the weekend to get some real shut eye.
