The long war ahead

Today, US President Joe Biden effectively declared war on Russia by calling for the removal of Putin.

He also implied that the war will not last for months, but much longer, meaning years.

That means that the whole world economy will, once again, be focussed on supplying the war effort with men and materials, bleeding the youth away from many nations

The military/industrial complex will thrive as the generals come and go, along with countless enlisted men and women and even more so, civilians.

This is an old story, repeated a thousand times in the past. The pandemic was just a lead in to what we are about to experience now.

China will play a pivotal role in how long this will go on for. China's interest in the long term will be to discreetly support Putin so as to prevent the Western Empire from crushing Putin and become China's next enemy number 1.

China will seek to make Russia dependent on its support and so enhance its own power in the world. This could go on for a very long time.
