The world stage is a crazy place. The characters are often shifting alliances, scripts and monetary backers.

Re: Under Trump, America May Be Its Strongest ....

G’day Lynda,

Thanks for the article by Bryan Preston.

I disagree with his assertions that:

1. The US is doing very well.

Arguably, although Trump is eliminating many regulations, reducing taxes and encouraging increased US manufacturing, main street economic activity and job creation; he is using all the false statistical mechanisms previously used to mislead public opinion to make the situation look much brighter than it is. For instance record stock markets are entirely due to Trump forcing the Fed to lower interest rates and increase money creation; so-called "STIMULUS". That activity looks good but in fact makes the banking and financial situation worse as it decreases the value of the USD. Trump knows that and is encouraging the process knowing that the banking system must soon implode. He plans to then replace the Fed with a new gold backed money creation system controlled by the US Treasury.

2. The US is now stronger (than what?), and its “adversaries and competitors are mostly weaker. China is fractured and may crack permanently…”
China isn’t getting weaker and it isn’t fracturing.
The CIA and Talmudic Deep State elements are fomenting anti-Chinese sentiments in Hong Kong and Taiwan but so what? They’ve been doing that for decades. China is a stable superpower and is increasingly outdistancing the US economically. See eg: China, Number One Economic Power for Half Decade, Dashes On - http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_Information_43/China-Number-One-Economic-Power-for-Half-Decade-Dashes-On.shtml

3. Russia is increasingly unstable and that Putin has moved to solidify his grip on power.

This is hackneyed propaganda. Putin has rescued Russia from the clutches of the Talmudists and this latest government restructuring signals that he has vanquished the cultural Marxist Atlanticists and is now moving to make Russia genuinely more democratic. See eg: Putin’s Now Purged the West from the Kremlin - http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_Information_43/Putin-s-Now-Purged-the-West-from-the-Kremlin.shtml
And: Vladimir Putin Prepares His Succession - http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_Information_43/Vladimir-Putin-Prepares-His-Succession.shtml

These constitutional changes will prevent Putin continuing as President after his current term and ensure that the premier and federal ministers will be named by the Duma. The President will formally confirm them in office but has no right to refuse the appointments, though s/he can later remove them for failure to perform. Without using the word "coalition", Vladimir Putin has set the stage for the creation of a grand coalition to succeed the rule of one party, United Russia, over which Dimitri Medvedev was the nominal chairman. Compare that to the current political circus in the US.

These proposed changes evidence true patriotism and an intention to encourage real Russian democratic governance arrangements. Contrast that with US Democratic Party’s desires to create 127 “states” within the confines of Washington DC. - https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/34665-harvard-s-plan-for-total-leftist-power-divide-d-c-into-127-states

4. That the Russians WANT socialist schemes in the US to break (alleged) US energy dominance.

There is zero evidence for this typical US (Talmudic) propaganda. Tom Luongo says, rightly in my view:

‘Putin understands that a Russia flush with too much oil money is a Russia ruled by that money and becomes lazy because of that money. Contrary to popular opinion, Putin doesn't want to see oil prices back near $100 per barrel.

Because Russia's comparative advantage in oil and gas is so high relative to everyone else on the world stage and to other domestic industries that money retards innovation and investment in new technologies and a broadening of the Russian domestic economy.

And this has been Putin's focus for a while now. Oil and gas are geostrategic assets used to shore up Russia's position as a regional power, building connections with its new partners while opening up new markets for Russian businesses.

But it isn't the end of the Russian story of the future, rather the beginning.

And the slow privatization of those industries is happening, with companies like Gazprom and Rosneft selling off excess treasury shares to raise capital and put a larger share of them into public hands.

Again, this is all part of the next stage of Russia's development and democratizing some of the President's power has to happen if Russia is going to survive him leaving the stage.’ See:
