  • There is three major “theaters” right now:

    1. Eastern Europe (Ukraine)
    2. West Asia (Middle East)
    3. East Asia

    The US already moved multiple ships from East Asia to facilitate the attacks on Iran. If Iran responds by retaliating against US based in the region, the US will probably commit large amounts of forces and get itself into another Iraq/Afghanistan style situation.

    This removes US forces and restocking capabilities from East Asia. Now China can expand itself in that region, which the US had thought to contain by its military presence.

    The US has been trying to “pivot” out of West Asia into East Asia for over a decade now. This also explains Israels attacks on Iran now in an attempt to force the US to maintain focused on the region. Think of it like the older child throwing tantrums when their younger sibling is getting more attention.



  • This will probably be the calmest year of the years to come.

    Russia, the US and EU are failing slowly, with Russia and the US kicking around in the process. The EU doesn’t really know what to do except follow suit to the US, no matter the stupidity.

    Aside from these three China seems to be emerging for now, but is running into huge demographic issues that the others already have.

    Neoliberal Capitalism is destroying the very foundations of society and leading to a new rise of Fascism as it is ideologically way too deeply entrenched to overcome itself and the mantra of eternal growth and eternal capital accumulation at the top.

    On top of all this the climate catastrophe is picking up intensity every year and the effects will cause more and more disruption.

    Meanwhile any attempts at spearheading a better world, one of sustainable economies and basic human rights are disrupted by the forces of old, who employ ever more gruesome weapons and tools of mass surveillance while refusing any social innovation.

    To answer your question: Yes it is overwhelming and it will probably get a lot worse.

    The claim was that everything was copied horizontally, which is evidently not the case in the picture. Also as i have linked the widest “freeway” in the US has even more lanes.

    Thank you for posting the article. As you can read in the article they prove the fact that the image is altered by pointing out the number of lanes being wrong, not by “suspicious patterns” in the cars.

    The claim that the image was just doubled horizontally simply does not check out. There was more effort put into creating the fake.
