The Vineyard of the Saker
Two Cheers for Realism  (excellent historical backgrounder. (I would have added the context of neoliberalism, neoimperialism, and neocolonialism to round it out. But it is well worth reading as it stands for those interested in the history of international relations.)

When you see pictures from Ukraine it looks like a third world country apart from Kiev.


That they have ran their own job guarentee program - The Ukraine military.


All the analysis I am reading is after the severe austerity imposed by the EU reducing the budget deficit from 7% to 1.4% of GDP. With unemployment rates averaging 10% and the asset stripping by the West and Ukranian oligarchs. The economy was going to tank by July this year.


Just look at the wage growth between 2016 - 2020

All indicators show they were in far better shape before the coup and the EU and NATO got their hands on the place.

Which could be said of many places across Europe.

Can't get a job.....


Here sign in this dotted line and become cannon fodder. We will guarentee anybody who wants to work a job in the military.

There's no difference between the EU and NATO today with the British East India company of yesterday.

Same economic models delivering the same shit to anybody they decided to occupy and control.


Instead of gold they use US Treasuries instead. Instead of ruling the waves. Ships were replaced by Wall street, City of London and Frankfurt.

Matt is The only person on the planet that doesn't believe it.


The real Conspiracy is they don't know how it works because they have art degrees.


They know how it works and have done for hundreds of years. Then use propaganda to lie about it.


Unless of course you believe those with art degrees set up the EU the way it is by mistake or stumbled across the French CFA franc in Africa. Said to themselves " phew that was lucky"

Believe Rome couldn't figure out how coinage worked to control and occupy foreign territories. As they were too busy studying European art and got sidetracked.

Or the British Empire with their coffee plantations. The East India company were clueless never had a clue what they were doing because the art of the
British colonies hypnotized them.


Never once in hundreds of years of history understood how the monetary system can be used to conquered civilisations.


Because they had art degrees at the time and decided to leave London and go on " the grand tour " of Europe the British Empire and Commonwealth all happened by accident. It was all down to pure luck.


The United States of America wasn't even a thing at the time. Not even born yet and the old world knew how it worked.


Of course the founding fathers when they did come along were a bunch of idiots or morons as Matt would say. Failed to recognise the threat of the British currency and how it was used to try and control the " new world" because Jefferson and Washington was in a pottery shed making Roman urns after taking their art degrees. Just never understood the power of monetary sovereignty as they were too busy buying paint brushes.


They all knew back then how it works and the importance of it. But in 2022 we are supposed to Believe neoliberalism and globalism is a conspiracy.

They all knew how government spending and banking worked hundreds of years before America was even a thing.


But now they don't because they have art degrees.


FFS please keep off the crack pipe.

The " old world" figured it all out hundreds of years ago.


"But if only we could get them in a class room and explain to them how it really works."



Bangs head on table walks into kitchen swearing at oneself.

Just as Michael Hudson said. Now, the US elite is pillaging Europe after draining everyone else, including its domestic population, while setting its sights on owning Russia, China, India and the rest of the Global South.

What is so hard to understand about world domination?
