Czar of All The Russias

[donquixote99]

I'm coming across fascinating looks into the deep dark workings, not generally seen in the west, of politics inside Russia. Here we see a stage-managed pantomime of decision-making at the top. It is astonishing to watch. I am only surprised each courtier does not have to shout "Great Czar live forever!" at the beginning of his little speech.

This is a clip from a Frontline that premiered tonight. Will have to watch whole thing.

Here is a much deeper dive, which is unconventional enough to land this thread in Conspiracy Corner. But it actually seems largely credible to me, in it's descriptions anyway. Whether the cancellation of 'debts,' the 'circulation of elites' that it predicts will happen is less certain to me. Opinions welcome.

Very interesting and substantive. There is a relative parallel occurring in the US. Here Big Tech and its associates gather and gird whilst others diminish, disappear. Additionally those close to the money printing machine get to transform quickly fiat into assets.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Watched the program last night. Putin is a dangerous man to be sure. How he is handled so far has been ineffective. He has shown to have no regard for anyone else. A true survivor, wiling to do any and all to win what he desires.

Listened to the Fresh Air interview with the former ambassador to Ukraine before the two Frontline Putin pieces ran back to back.
Not reassuring, any of it.

Yep. And seeing is believing.

What does a survivor do in a situation where he cannot survive?

Like all DNA, we are all survivors until we die.

Frontline is always worth watching if the viewer is interested in the topic.

Putin is dangerous? DUH!!! He appears to know what he's about and is the Tzar of the M,A.D. armed Russian Empire. The only remaining not a liberal western democracy European empire left standing. If I were a Euro, I would not want those M.A.D. equipped neocon American cowboy Romans as part of this equation.

Essentially what Merkel was trying to avoid.
