China, Russia, America, and the Next World War.

in #news3 years ago

This post contains my musings regarding the apparent increasing belligerence among our erstwhile world powers: the United States of America, the People's Republic of China, and the Russian Federation. I would appreciate any feedback from people with firsthand knowledge of the situation in, especially, Belarus and Poland.

Clearly, the United States is attempting to provoke a war against Russia in the Ukraine and Baltic states. The public perception is that China and Russia are allies in some dark axis, but numerous facts seem to belie this. I would defer to Dr. Joseph Farrell's numerous blog entries on what he (and the MSM) have taken to calling "The Quad": an emerging anti-China bloc consisting of the US, Japan, India, and Russia.

So, Russia is pretending to be friends with China, while the US is pretending to be enemies with China. If you live in the US and you still have your wits about you, the US side of this should be clear as day from Chinese infiltration of state and federal governments. (e.g.) I'll refer you to the links above to familiarize yourself with the Russian side.

Now, many conservatives in the US have been hoping for President Putin to to fulfill some sort of Qanon prophecy, swooping in to save the American public from their pedophile government. Accordingly, every indication to the contrary is met by much wailing and gnashing of teeth from that quarter. I suggest that a more nuanced approach is warranted, particularly when dealing with a country with as much experience in espionage as Russia.

On to COVID-19, then, which has emerged as the fog of war to end all fogs of war. Without a doubt, it is the so-called vaccines rather than the still-hypothetical illness which pose the greatest threat to human life. The "pandemic" apparently started in China, and has had its most deadly effect in the US (only after the vaccines were introduced there). To tie COVID-19 to our discussion of these three countries, I will end by describing some of Russia's responses to this dubious disease.

We must note that Russia released the first COVID vaccine, "Sputnik V", outpacing "Operation Warp Speed" by a full five months. Of course, the name is a reference to the first object to orbit the Earth, the Sputnik satellite launched by the USSR in 1960. Since then, Russia has authorized an additional three vaccines, all of which are home-grown, and none of which contain the mRNA technology being used by Moderna and Pfizer. Just to be clear: Russia has not authorized any COVID vaccines developed by a foreign company. It's not known, of course, what the effectiveness of these Russian vaccines are, or the rate of side effects, but it is known that their acceptance by the Russian populace is being reported as abysmally low. For my part, having read through documents like The SPARS Pandemic, I find it telling that we haven't been flooded with news articles claiming that Sputnik is woefully ineffective compared to the superior American/British offerings.

It's interesting to read through the list of countries which have approved Sputnik V, which includes all the countries sharing a border with China, but not China herself, notably (for our purposes) India, as well as most of Latin America, including Venezuela, but not Cuba. It's also interesting to cross-reference that list with this one, the countries with which Russia has dropped COVID-related travel restrictions. Again, we see that China didn't make the cut, although most of her immediate neighbors did. It's puzzling to see Canada and Australia both on the list of restricted countries.

One more thing: Russia is the only country to have responded to the scamdemic by building an entirely new network of laboratories "designed to handle deadly pathogens and develop vaccines against them". Keep that in mind when you read that "cases are soaring" in Moscow or whatever it may be: despite the media rhetoric, Russia remains the only country which is responding to the current "crisis" by investing in actual labs. Also, consider headlines like this, and consider that Russia has an actual land border with China.

So to conclude, I must ask the question: Is it possible for a country to "fake" their response to a fake pandemic? What would that look like? Is it possible that the reason the Russians were able to develop a vaccine so fast is that it too is fake? That would explain its reported safety. One thing I've thought, in speculating that we really are on the verge of a hot war, is that it would be absolutely suicidal for countries to be sabotaging their economies at this time. Therefore, I've been looking at the responses of different countries: whether they approve ivermectin and things like that, how stringent their lockdown measures are, etc., and wondering whether we might be seeing the emergence of new alliances in the buildup to a third world war.

In that light, with Russia's Sputnik-V, Japan ending its state of emergency, and India persisting in the use of "alternative" treatments throughout the pandemic, it appears one member of the Quad stands alone...

Thanks for reading.
