Godlessness ? The new fascism ?
There is
something eery coming down the pipe. Economies crashing. Soulless
capitalism. The destruction of nation states and nationalism.

Tapestry of History
Blog
Why did socialism not work in Russia? Because in
a country with thousands if years of history with tsar rule the
socialist principles eventually went to what the country knew how to do
best having a strong leader.
The Chinese dynasties show why China even today plays for the Long term.
In
USA a country of white slave owners and English colonialists. They have
the most freedoms. The freedoms were gained directly because of
struggles that also responded to these conditions. So conditions and
zeitgeist of the country is foremost important before any sort of
idealolgy pt strategy. Can be tailored to it.
Idealogies and systems are like the hat it doesn't always fit

Why government ?
Why government ?
Givts are clearly failing. So the question becomes why does a person need one.
To take their grievances go. Breakdown of one why needs it and advantages of not having one and dis. And new systems

The problem, Pete, is that no-one may take enough US dollars to fill demand. That’s the best case problem.
I think that the current oil price manipulation has the purpose of preventing capital from ever flowing back into the oil patch, or at least, not fast enough. Recall that the IEA warned that oil/gas investment had to exceed $1.5T per annum to maintain supply. That is no longer happening. When investment is sufficiently low, it will cripple production for many years, possibly forever. That, I think, is the plan.
Of course, whether that really is the plan is unknown. If it is the plan, whether it will work is unknown. And the state of our financial system in the future is unknown – will it be sufficiently robust to support international trade?

Sauer–This all makes sense, but it begs the question: whose plan is it? Saudi Arabia’s? Exxon’s?

I suspect that the Saudis helped Obama to think of it for himself. When approached, they held out for, and got, a commitment to throw the frackers under the bus. Big Oil stands to gain at the expense of Little Oil, and Wall Street gets a chance to profit from instability. USA gets to weaken Russia with low oil prices, just like 1980. UK, of course, is the deck of a willing aircraft carrier.
Russia gets to watch Wall Street’s towers shake (and maybe fall), her oligarchs get to squeeze the oligarchs from the 1990’s, and she positions herself to lead a new international financial system. China gets lower oil prices for a time, just about until her own investments in central Asian oil pay off. In the meantime China buys gold and plays a very long game.
Of course, Saudi gets much higher oil prices sometime soon, and gets leverage which might lead to a pipeline straight into Europe. They also make it impossible for anyone but a nation state to do real oil exploration, so while the majors are off gobbling up the minors, the majors are losing the future.
Everybody THINKS he wins. Soon we find out who is playing chess and who is playing snap.
Just my thoughts. Could well be wrong. I welcome a deeper analysis.

The liberals, or the smart ones can't just blame Putin. They will stray from this line as soon as they are safe to do so.
This is a kindling attempt to stoke the fire and force regime change in Russia using the fifth column and mustering more support from it.
The other element of it is it makes it dubious of how does the regime react to such an event. The reaction is key as you're on stage now with the honus of not to mess up and handle the investigation well and what follows well.
All in all it's an easy offensive regime change tactic, and not all that easy to defend oneself against. Those were my thoughts upon following it.
