Geopolitical update:
- Ukraine "civil war" is escalating and could easily end up in a continental war opposing Usa and Russia on the European ground
- Putin is not backing down from western pressure
- Brics are forming an alternative to the Imf and World Bank, they will slowly try to move away from Bretton Woods and Us Dollar hegemony
- All "International Institutions" are under American Control
- Usa simply won't allow another "world standard" different from theirs, no matter the costs or the actions they will have to take
- Russia offered economic support to Cuba and Argentina (the two most strategic countries, from a geopolitical point of view, in central and south America)
- Europe is highly dependent on Russia's Energy but is (blindly) following American orders
- After the 2008 crisis the western world can't fix their economy, all the money printing from central banks has increased the value of financial assets and stock markets but is not helping the real economy
- War remains the best possible economic stimulus
- The World got into word war II riding horses and got out flying supersonic jets (from spur to supersonic)
- In 1941 Japan attacked the Us Navy in Pearl Harbour only after the American Oil Embargo (economic war) gave them no other choice.
