The first question is: Is there a political reason for escalating the situation? of the war in Ukraine and possibly Israel.

I think it is absolutely a political must escalate. First of all my sources all say Ukraine has lost the war already. Russia could walk in and take Ukraine immediately but that would give the EU, US and the elite the excuse to step up the war to WW III. So Russia isn't doing this and won't. They really only want protection from Ukraine and others near Ukraine to not join NATO. Russia needs and wants an area of protection to react to NATO attacks, since NATO has continued to take satellite countries ever since Russia was promised this would not happen. NATO has lied since they promised no satellite nations would be allowed to join NATO. NATO has taken the lie further since the staged a coup removing a democratically elected government in Ukraine with a pro western government. So Putin had essentially no choice but to attack to retain land to the Black Sea. This is the basis for the Ukraine war.

Furthermore and more importantly for the EU, US, UK and their Davosian cabal these leaders, all of them have failed their societies completely. They have let in millions of immigrants which their societies don't want. They have produce pathetic economic growth, essentially none if government spending was not accounted for while at the same time built up an incredible debt pile the world has never seen before. Their economic incompetence is absurd. But their promises keep coming and the debt keeps growing as their currencies are simply not trusted as exposed by the BRICS partnerships. These incompetents absolutely require a world war to hide their incompetence and direct attention away from doing things their constituency doesn't want while driving their constituency into bankruptcy, while losing their manufacturing and industrial base. Bottom line is it would be impossible to run economies much more poorly than these Davosians and it is all coming to a head because they can't print and hence spend much more without the consequence of continuing loss of purchasing power of their currencies. Note: their currencies are already defaulting, with current inflation.

After reading the transcript twice today, I guess I can wait for part II. I find MacLeod to be extremely adroit in his analysis. His clear descriptions of the situations seem very powerful to me. He doesn't indulge in insults of the various leaders, or emote on how terrible they are. He just seems to have a solid take on the strategies and consequences. It's all very frightening when one considers the consequences of the actions of small and crazed presidents.

The conversation about the intricacies of the gold market was especially original in my experience. Thank you Dan for bringing such an astute mind to our attention. Alistair does have a nose similar to mine.

Fairly useless long article about nothing much worthwhile about investments, unless you are really looking long-term. Elections in England and France not highly relevant in next few years. More important is this article about increasing proportion of Muslims in England as shown in this election. Read that and keep in mind that the governments of these countries are voluntarily turning their countries over to these persons when their ancestors killed and died to keep their ancestors from taking over several hundred years ago. https://www.yahoo.com/news/muslim-vote-sectarian-insurgency-over-050000063.html

So Russia has won the war in Ukraine and only their "Political discretion" prevents them from walking in and taking over. That's a good one. And now, our relationship with Israel-which I readily admit, leaves much to be desired, will lead to nuclear war. Would we be subjected to reading all this fear generating horse manure if there were a Republican in the White House (which is obviously what Macleod wants)? I sincerely doubt it.

Yeah but, Russia could have walked in at any time at their discretion any time prior to the 2014 coup de'etat. Bizzare no ?

Ironic for sure. I guess there was no need to invade as long as Putin had someone there to do his bidding. What I find even more bizarre is the sloppy way Russia has run the war. The stalled caravan at the war's beginning would have been a sitting duck for any modern military. There's probably some validity to the supposition that he did not think the West would react the way it has, but he should have. Now he is kissing big butt in China and North Korea just to keep it going logistically. I guess these guys get to a point where their ego overwhelms their intelligence, which, don't get me wrong, in Putin's case I'm sure is substantial. It's like Trump: all the talk about military tribunals for his political opponents isn't getting him one independent vote. All he has to do between now and November is shut up and pretend he is a human being and he has a good shot at winning. BUT HE CAN'T!!!!! Go figure.
