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.

Michael Dowd, yeah dunno. I like the billionaires want "peace". Which one can you name actually just one even that has this goal of wanting peace? Maybe they say they want peace, but how did they amass such wealth? with "peace"? take your time try name one such "peaceful" humble one.

Sean Thomas, indeed, delusions are always harmful but false hopes are often fatal.
Michael Dowd
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.

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?
P. A. S.
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!!!
