UNANTICIPATED RESULTS OF NATO EXPANSION DREAM
NO PLAN B, NO GOOD RESULT
We still see the belief from this present administration that they can shape world events by introducing narrative's that support their policies.
This week we saw a another weak attempt to shift the blame for the destruction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to some rogue Ukrainian who is presently in jail in Ukraine. It seems the realization of the consequences to the U.S. and its future European relations are being damaged by the implications of the U.S. being behind the sabotage. Gone is the bragging by Biden and Nuland of their great plan to separate Europe from Russian energy, especially with the onset of winter and the worsening European recession caused by a lack of energy.
Today we again hear of the failed Russian enterprise, the massive loss of Russian troops and the ultimate victory for Ukraine. A pathetic attempt to keep the appearances up, even after the devastation of Ukraine, the loss of any possibility of a favorable negotiation. It seems we can expect the attempt to keep the narrative up, at least until the next election.
Today Biden is also expected to have a conversation with Xi of China, only problem is, it seems Xi may have no intention of any meaningful dialogue with Biden. The fact is, China no longer answers the phone from Washington, refusing to listen to any more threats and attempts of intimidation. Biden says he does not want to decouple from China after 2 years of talking about decoupling from China. It seems like many foreign leaders do not buy into the Washington narrative, that may play well to unsuspecting American voters, but not sophisticated world leaders.
The fact is the misadventure of the U.S. policy in Ukraine has set in motion the realignment of world affairs. The introduction of a separate economic system that will put the west in a secondary position to that new system. It has alienated both Russia and China from being a positive influence in settling diplomatic crisis in other parts of the world. In the past there has been cooperation concerning terrorism and other disputes, now we will soon be standing alone.
The one positive to this seperate growing economic coalition is that they do have influence to restrain their colleagues from creating any cahous that will interfere with their economic opportunity. This may be apparent with Iran and Saudi Arabia in the present crisis in Israel.
The Ukraine crisis will eventually end with a negotiation dominated by Russia. A settlement far worse for Ukraine than what they could have had early in the war. A settlement derailed by the Biden administration to further their delusional goals.
The economic status of the United States is now entering a precarious time with massive deficits, massive debt, a divided electorate, a depleted manufacturing base and a legal system that has failed to keep order in the cities and is increasingly used for political purposes. Not a recipe for a positive future, and new innovative narratives will not correct any of these problems.
