Russia and Ukraine

[Fake Messiah]

He's entered the 'insulated from reality' phase of dictatorship.

Right -- the first thing I thought of when I read an article about this was this sounds a lot like Hitler's misapprehensions about America.

Didn't it remind you more of The Zimmermann Telegram?

Anyway, I better pray to St. Jesús Malverde that Mexico doesn't go on the Russian side.



In the meantime:

"The 'Putin system' is beginning to collapse"

Mathematician and philosopher Immanuel Niven's statements are supported by a close analysis of Russia's economic situation.

According to the mathematician, the "Putin system" is beginning to collapse, exactly what he predicted mathematically already in March: "The announced drastic tax increases in Russia (the highest tax increases in the history of modern Russia) as well as Putin's recently published slogans (according to which "everyone must work as if they were at the front") are dramatic signs that the toxicity of the Russian war economy is reaching a critical level."

"If the cost of replacing material losses (in such a way that the speed of replacement is in balance with the speed of losses) is no longer within the scope of the financing of the state budget, then a system becomes unfinanceable. This unfinanceability is toxic for a system because it causes the system to collapse in the medium term (unless the war is won)."

Niven explains further that Russia is familiar with this type of toxicity: "The USSR collapsed when the costs of the arms race (pushed by US President Ronald Reagan) could no longer be financed from the state budget, which led to the collapse of the state."
