    Iran makes it pretty clear just how bad US/Israeli intelligence is. And the US is no longer in any position to do escalation in China because they shat the bed in Iran. They’re literally out of weapons at this point, and their economy is collapsing because of oil prices. Cost of filling up your car basically doubled now, and you can’t go anywhere without a car in the US. This is the biggest crisis since Vietnam.

    Do you think Trump will make a deal with Iran?

    I think Trump has no other choice.

    There is no other path for Russia or China today than what he says.

    China is also dependent on Russia—that’s undeniable. Putin recently visited Kazakhstan, where he agreed with the Kazakh president to increase energy supplies to China.

    The partnership will certainly develop, but moderately and cautiously, in the Chinese style.

    Russia is a resource economy and China is a manufacturing one.

    Yes, a major leap in industrialization is not expected in Russia yet. Russia’s industrial sector is not doing well.

    The oligarchs, who have been holding back industrial development in Russia since the 1990s, exert too much influence on the state. The oligarchs act like invaders, sucking resources out of the country and exploiting the Russian people. They instill false ideals in the people.

    There’s this oligarch named Malafeyev in Russia, a monarchist and religious obscurantist.

    He financed that lousy film.

    And note that this film was blessed by some Elijah.

    They want to remove Lenin’s mausoleum so they can put God there with the Tsar.

    This is an atavism.

      Trump has no choice, but I don’t see how he can make a deal on Iran’s terms. It would be an incredible humiliation and Israel is fighting tooth and nail to prevent that. Given massive Israeli influence in the US, I expect any actual deal will be stopped in the end.

      And yeah, the problem Russia has is the fact that it’s a capitalist system which stands in the way of meaningful development. Since the masses need a shared narrative and world view that capitalism is unable to provide, religion is increasingly being slotted in to create national unity. This was unnecessary under the communist system which naturally united people.
