Make way for billionaires!

"Cabinet" does seem confining. "Entourage" seems somewhat light. How about " Court"? His "Court", as in kings of old, is comprised of what passes for great warriors (along with a few wannabes) in the west, namely billionaires, who have conquered the capitalist systems, seizing, stealing and vanquishing all before them. Now we know what to expect!

Assuming billionaires are the ones who really run the world from behind the scenes and have now achieved most of their personal goals, I believe they want to do what they can to make America better and help bring the United States into peace with the rest of the world while protecting their own wealth.

They know our current path will lead to Armageddon which they wish to avoid as they will lose everything.

We should be cheering them on as we have no other viable choice.

Trump and the others want peace as they perceive no viable alternative. Their wealth has been largely accumulated through exploitation, manipulation, payoffs, lawsuits and generally shrewd self-serving behavior. Now they perceive the danger to them of such tactics, e.g., the impoverishment of millions, nuclear warfare, internal rebellion, etc,, and now are ready for a life-saving (their own) peace strategy.

Dmitry, what would you do with 363 billion Rubles? I don't know why I'm asking, and I only do so in the comical sense. Seeing as how the west overall is a tragic comedy at this point. I guess, think big? Like "pie in the sky" big. Great and informative essay as always. You have my thanks. I'll be collapsing if you need me. (Don't know why you would, with 363 billion Rubles and all.) Cheers from USSA.
P.S. Forget "pie in the sky". How about "pie in outer space" big? You can probably pull that off with advanced Russian rocketry and an oven in outer space. (Would you even need an oven in outer space?) You can probably eat it there too, then get back to earth safely and still have some Rubles left over. Just a thought to spark the imagination. God (Jesus, not Mammon) bless you and yours.

A plausible scenario: https://thegreattaking.com/read-online-or-download

What of those billionaires that participated in the attempted extermination of Russia using various other counties (Chechna, Ukraine) as proxies, which also served as a racketering facilities for massive personal gain?

What are the chances that the collapse or the military defeat of the USA is so complete and decisive that it is taken over and divided up, with each major power taking a piece, even European powers?

"What is different in this case?" Perhaps to acquire full command and control of a trillion dollar COG infrastructure? And then, from there...

[Just spitballin' here] M. Drumpf et sa coterie de zio-bâtards... will shrewdly move to secure 'their' now 'gone-like-summer-wages' [Russian] collateral via stealth-pivot into a 'rough n ready' updated Monroe Doctrine.

Canada and Greenland will provide 'replacement' security for Wall St/The City.

"Are we rollin', Don? Latin/South America next? WooHoo!"

I am wondering which one is worse: a POTUS who is billionaire and surounded with billionaires, or a "lower class" POTUS who is "only" millionaire and dreams to be member of the billionaire class and works hard to assure the revolving door is open, as well as the 500k for a speech full of BS. Lol

Very incisive as usual Dmitry. Thank you. I am reminded of another failing 'civilisation', that of the Ancient Greeks, and its Musk-like propagandist Plato who advocated rule by the 'philosopher kings', whoever they were intended to be.

"and if they're afraid, shouldn't you be"

Feels like you had to cut it short.....

I am not afraid, Dmitry, it is not a good emotion by which to lead one's life.

I have been watching it go down since 1971, and have studied it and let my life accordingly. I am prepared as best possible and it's in God's hands.

I have been wrong on the timing for 40 years, but I still think I'm right:) Soon, very soon. It's not end times, just the end for the evil empire and its participants. Great essay!!!

Merry Christmas to you, Dmitry!

When you would put yourself into the shoes of Musk (not a fan of him, but he is surely the smartest and the most powerful of the gang), what would you do if you realize that the current course will certainly lead to total collapse or nuclear war. Wouldn't he as a semi-outsider not be in a position to distant himself from the evil American past and try to reestablish a relationship with China and Russia which could at least buy them some time? But even if that would be the case, Israel will be a huge counterforce. One which seems to have also Musk under control so some extent. And Israel is the worst rabid dog the planet has seen since Nazi Germany. What are your thoughts on that?

Americans are in a propaganda cocoon and mired in millions of joyfully, smiling people television commercials insulating then from recognizing their plight and the nature of the rest of the real world, Even within my own family, I am shut down whenever I try to warn them of the threats aligned against them. They are simply lost.

When we visit neighbors and friends, I feel I am lost in a zombie-world of trivia.

In short clips of Musk talking he seems highly intelligent, but in long ones he seems very mediocre. Also he displays an attitude of superiority....Thoughts? :-)

Who in the world is a competent interviewer?

Aye, it's a dying art indeed, that of the competent interviewer who reads his subject well, does the research, and asks the questions we all want answers to. Instead what we get are platforms offered to various interviewees to rant from and some pretty confused, and/or formulaic propositions to begin with. Derivative drivel. Carlson's schooling at the hands of Mr Putin being a particularly cringeworthy recent example.
As an old teacher of mine used to say: "Better to be intensive than extensive, lads."
Nima is just one of many. Judge Nap is similarly woeful. I could never understand the attraction, or the galactic viewing figures and subs. Folks out there are clearly starved of good information. 
Jeff Rich, retired Australian diplomat is one of the former, imho. He's pretty good, and incisive. But one gets the feeling that our good host Mr Orlov, here, would spoon out just a little bit too much a dose of uncomfortable hard reality for Jeff's typical viewer. Although Jeff himself seem

Sorry for bringing in a bit off-topic question, but I would like to know your opinion about the BRICS currency efforts, specifically the UNIT project (https://wp.unitfoundation.org)? It seems it has been postponed for now and likely there is no sufficient consensus among the main actors to move forward. China issuing USD bonds seems to play another interesting short term game which probably is more beneficial and less risky for at least China. Also it seems Bitcoin has been given more space from the Russian side recently (officially allowed/endorsed? for international trade settlements). Do you have an opinion about Bitcoin and its potential role as part of a future global reserve currency system? Do you know Jason Lowery (https://www.amazon.com/SOFTWAR-Projection-National-Strategic-Significance/dp/B0BZF59CDL)? He has an interesting, though likely exaggerated and biased perspective on Bitcoin from a military strategic perspective.
