A bigger game indeed. How about the destruction of the Western fiat central banking cartels and their NWO agenda? How about Russia decides to go into the insurance business and remove's Lloyds of London's global insurance monopoly? How about the collapse of the E.U.? How about the collapse of NATO? How about the collapse of the U.N. and it's institutions? There are many dimensions at play here. Most assume that NATO will be victorious on the battlefield vrs the Russians. How is that working out so far? Getting the Soviet Union to collapse was one thing, but they were communists who couldn't feed themselves. The Soviets were propped up by the West during their entire existence. Russia is capitalist now, turning a healthy annual profit, and it is us who have embraced communism with debts that cannot be repaid. The EU already begs Russia for energy and food, and will probably collapse without it. Actual famine in Europe... it's been a long time since that last happened. The Russians are playing this game from a position of strength, not weakness. What the West really did, by cutting all ties with Russia, is they have lost all legal and financial hold over Russia. Russia no longer has to respect Western patents, and can openly just steal all of our tech. Fuck all we can do about that. That's just the beginning.
