@alldecentnamestaken Very easy. US energy policy, military policy, and foreign military sales. Then you have the battle of Khasham in 2018, where Russian forces were annihilated for sport by US Forces, after Russia attacked without provocation. Russia's oil/NG sales couldn't fund growth with 2017-2020 US energy prices.

Who? Zeihan?

@tawmas1593 Don't ever try to have a conversation with me about DOD, which I've been in since the 70s, and tell me I'm wrong. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

@abr00ky What does he say now?

There are no pee tapes. That was a fabricated claim from Hillary’s campaign, using her conspirators in the UK and Russia. Look at how many hundreds of millions of dollars Putin paid into Clinton Global Initiative, so he could buy controlling interests in Uranium One. Who knows what else he got from Obama and SECSTATE Clinton, then SECSTATE Kerry. Kerry was on the ownership of Rosemont Seneca with Hunter when Elena Baturina wired $3.5 million to them in Feb 2014, right at the height of Euromaiden in Ukraine, when Putin was losing his puppet Yanukovych.

I’ve been following since the STRATFOR days in the 2000s as well, which was much better when you had George Freidman and the senior analysts all collaborating on their assessments. Peter and the former FBI guys were very adverse to feeding into “conspiracy theories” because they all come from backgrounds where confirmation bias and conformity of thought were critical to organizational acceptance and your source of income. In academia, it is very dogmatic and cult-like. In the Federal agencies, you will lose your job if you are seen as “one of those guys”. The Bureau is especially insular, with a cult of personality expectation to worship the Director, even as openers to daily communications between junior staffers and agents. It’s very weird. One of the biggest failures of STRATFOR and Peter is not looking at conspiracies with a clean slate, and vetting them using their same analytical methods. Instead, they just dismissed them reactively. One of the main areas that left a void in their assessments was failing to understand and assess false flags and other types of operations conducted by the intelligence agencies, organized crime families, criminal NGOs, and International money-laundering networks that actually do conspire together as a rule. I also recognize that had they done so, they would have alienated a lot of their corporate customer base, who don’t want to hear or deal with those rabbit holes. The problem is, if you ignore them, it can cost you a lot of money.

@paulwilliams1291 Weird. My post was deleted. I've been following Peter's analyses since the 2000s, was a STRATFOR subscriber.

@piotrb4240 Did any media in Poland in 2018 report to you how Trump authorized US forces to annihilate Russian forces in Syria when they attacked US Commandos at the Conoco Plant near Khasham? It wasn’t even reported in the US on any main channels. I knew about it as it happened. None of the US media have reported that Trump sold huge shipments of Javelins and CLUs to Ukraine the next month either. Why is that? He’s the only US President who sold weapons to Ukraine prior to 2022. All other US Presidents actively worked to disarm or ignore Ukraine.

It was until Trump. The guilty parties accuse the innocent of what they are guilty of, but there are extremely brutal and simple ways where you can see the fallacy of this argument: 2018 Battle of Khasham 2018-2019 FMS to Ukraine, massive orders of Javelins fulfilled by Trump But the best one of all: Trump announcing his peace deal that snatches Putin’s gem from Ukraine, with the US taking over resource extraction and exports. Boom, headshot to the Trump-Russia narrative of the Hillary and Obama 2.0 campaigns. Then when you look at Hillary, Obama, and Biden finances coming from Russia, it all starts to make sense.

He went full TDS if that’s what he’s saying. How do you interpret Trump’s announcement of US investments in Ukrainian resources as part of the peace deal as being Putin’s puppet? Full TDS. Hillary, Biden, Obama, and John Kerry were Putin’s puppets and now they lost power. Look at the money trail.

@thefisherking78 That was the Clintons, Obama, and Biden-all of whom received millions from Russia for decades. Rosemont Seneca

@tawmas1593 US energy policy under Trump is to expand US extraction and drop pricing to fuel the economy. That ultimately hurts Russia's economy, just like Trump did from 2017-2020. Trump always criticized Nordstream for being stupid, as well as Europe for being reliant on Russian oil/NG. This is where you discover your sources have been lying to you. For confirmation, see the Battle of Khasham and DSCA FMS March 1, 2018 Javelin sales to Ukraine. Nobody talks about this.

@tawmas1593 Hegseth is cleaning house in DoD of waste, fraud, and abuse so we can have more capability, not less. If you've ever been in DoD, you would agree there is a lot of largesse in the wrong places with overweight management, huge ancillary civilian workforces with obsolete jobs using out-dated equipment in unnecessary buildings, and billions wasted on things other than weapons, ammunition, fuel, spare parts, active duty and guard salaries, etc.

@ButterfatFarms And then just days later on March 1st, 2018, Trump authorized foreign military sales to Ukraine for Javelin Anti-Tank missiles and CLUs. The only US President who sold weapons to Ukraine. So much for "Trump-Russia". Also notice that none of the media covers this.
