Russia's Firm Commitment to a civilizationally based, multi-polar world order.

Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, 'n Guns blog, Bond Robin and AZ OSINT@AZmilitary1.

Russia is done with the West. The divorce is nearly complete. In the past few days we’ve heard from all major Russian leaders the same thing, “The West will play by our rules now.”



You can decide for yourselves whether Russia is writing checks they can’t cash, but in the words of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov telling the BBC bluntly, “We do not care about the eyes of the West.” Lavrov has always been the soul of politeness and discretion when dealing with European media.

His open hostility towards his BBC interviewer was not only palpable, it was hard to argue with. He followed that up with:


“I don’t think there’s even room for maneuver left anymore,” Lavrov replied.

“Because both [Prime Minister Boris] Johnson and [Foreign Secretary Liz] Truss say publicly: ’We must defeat Russia, we must bring Russia to its knees. Go on, then, do it.”

Russia’s leadership never talks in such openly blunt terms. It’s almost like Lavrov was channeling comedian Dennis Miller who used to say, “Feeling froggy, take that leap.”

See where it gets you.

Russia knows it has the West on the ropes. We need what they produce and now they are determined to set the rules on who gets them and for what price. It knows that European leaders are puppets with Klaus Schwab’s hand up their asses.

And it knows Davos has zero leverage over Russia’s actions from here on out.

Which brings me to the statements linked above by Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller, speaking at a panel at the St. Petersburg Economic Investment Forum (SPEIF) who just put the situation in the starkest terms there is.


“The game of nominal value of money is over, as this system does not allow to control the supply of resources. …Our product, our rules. We don’t play by the rules we didn’t create.”

Miller’s statement should be thought of as a statement of principle across all theatres of operation for Russia. This doesn’t just apply to natural gas or oil. This is everything, all of Russia’s dealings with the West from here on out will be on its terms not the West’s.

This is clearly the biggest geopolitical middle finger in the post WWII period.

Miller is clearly laying out the rules for a new, commodity-centric monetary system, one based on what Credit Suisse’s Zoltan Poszar called ‘outside money’ — commodities, gold, even bitcoin — rather than the West’s egregious use of ‘inside money’ — debt-based fiat and credit — to perpetuate old colonialist behavior well past its use-by date.

I laid out the basic problem in an article from March after Russia soft-pegged the ruble to gold.


Today’s “Inside Money” standard, known colloquially as the Dollar Reserve standard, is actually what I like to call “Milton Friedman’s Nightmare.” It is nothing more than a system of competitively devalued and inflated debt-based scrips running around drinking each other’s milkshakes until everyone’s glass is empty.

Miller is definitely a glass full kinda guy now.

These comments came after Gazprom began cutting gas flows to Europe through the Nordstream 1 pipeline using the cover story of repaired gas turbines trapped in fascist Canada which couldn’t be shipped back to Siemens because of sanctions.

Now Germany and Canada are trying to figure out how to circumvent the sanctions to get these turbines back.

At the same time Miller pledged more gas to China (up 67% yoy through May) because Russia is interested in energy stability for its friends, while its enemies can starve.


Reuters is reporting that “Russia’s Gazprom increased gas supplies to China by 67% in the first five months of this year, the company’s CEO Alexei Miller said on Thursday.”

It was also on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping held their second phone call since the Ukraine war began. Xi told Putin that China is “willing to continue to offer mutual support (to Russia) on issues concerning core interests and major concerns such as sovereignty and security,” as quoted in state broadcaster CCTV.

The arrogance of EU commissars never ceases to amaze me. These people all but declare war on Russia and then act shocked (Shocked, I say!) that Russia then treats them like that.

On the same day that four members of the EU Commission — France, Italy, Germany and Romania — approve fast-tracking Ukraine’s membership application, France’s Emmanuel Macron urges Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to go to the bargaining table with Russia.

Even if Zelenskyy were to make those overtures to Russia, given his public statements on what his terms are, there would be absolutely zero chance that Russia would agree to show up for talks.

At this point I see nothing more than Russia continuing to grind out the Ukrainian army, taking what territory they want and then shepherding through local elections by the conquered territory to either become independent states or part of Russia.

It’s likely the latter at this point since Russia is now issuing Russian passports in regions they’ve taken from Ukraine, which the EU, of course, will refuse to honor until no one cares what they think anymore.

The rules are changing rapidly. Looking ahead there is a real danger that what Russia has set in motion leads to something no one wants to contemplate. Of course the West helped create this situation by forcing Putin’s hand to invade Ukraine, so who’s to blame about where this all leads to may, ultimately, be an irrelevant point.

Let’s hope the noises coming from the West about the sanctions having gone too far and the chest-beating of the worst US and British neocons is no longer being taken seriously by anyone with their fingers anywhere near the launch codes.

If that’s the case than these new rules will be grudgingly accepted only after a lot of borders have been redrawn, new alliances formed and a different world order established.

This morning at the President Putin declared the old world order dead. He finished his speech where he detailed how the West was committing suicide to suit the wishes of The Davos Crowd with the following definitive statement:


“Russia is entering the coming era as a powerful sovereign country. We will definitely use the enormous new opportunities that time opens up for us. And we will become even stronger.”

Putin is correct here. Russia is getting stronger by the day. The West took their best shot at destroying Russia and missed the mark. He clearly identified the real culprits for Europe’s and the US’s problems, subservience to an oligarch class who feel entitled to rule the world.

When the war started I wrote about what I thought Putin’s intentions were. Then it was speculation:


Russia held all the cards in the negotiations over Ukraine and we recklessly pursued a policy of insults and amateurish propaganda, refusing to believe Russia wouldn’t make her final stand.

By putting boots on the ground, planes in the air and missiles up the ass of every Ukrainian military installation across the country, Russia turned the ‘might makes right’ argument of the US and Europe on its head.

The game has changed because the rules have changed. It’s no longer a game of rhetorical chicken and virtue signaling.

Today it is fact. When Putin made his move on Ukraine the ultimate goal was the end of Russia treating the West as an equal and leading the Global South out of what he has called “vassalage.” The reason Putin is hated is because he realizes there are two types of countries, “sovereigns” and “vassals.”

It’s been his life’s work to make Russia into a ‘sovereign’ state free from the West.

From Russia’s perspective their military operation in Ukraine was their Declaration of Independence from the old ‘rules-based order’ of the post-WWII era. Justified or not, we are now in a new age.

The question is now, how many will survive into it.
 
Bond Robin note: One stupid statement in an otherwise accurate article -
"Of course the West helped create this situation by forcing Putin's hand to invade Ukraine, so who's to blame about where this all leads to may, ultimately, be an irrelevant point."

It is anything but irrelevant. Any person who engages on the side of the West is a fool. The Judeo-Luciferian West created the circumstances out of whole cloth, completed and constructed by them with many billions of dollars and years of effort. Soros spent seven billion on the Maidan Square CIA/Mossad Revolution the Western Media is now calling the "Revolution of Dignity" (1984 speak.) Foreign snipers shooting cops and protesters alike from rooftops is hardly "dignified." It is the opposite of dignity.

Another Bond Robin Thought:

CIA/Mossad/MI6/5Eye spokesperson said that "the U.S. had been preparing for war with Russia for a long time," and to win, they are willing to "countenance global recession and mounting HUNGER." Read that again, "global recession and MOUNTING HUNGER." I'm not making it up. This is from an article from a State Department source printed in the Washington (CIA) Post. 

You are a conspiracy theorist if you talk about planned famine where the Government is purposely causing it and blaming it on Russia to destroy any political resistance in the Post U.S. Citizenry. They (the Government) don't give a rat's ass about you or your family; they work for their global masters that have called for the conquest of Russia at all costs. They have admitted it.

How Brazil Saved Europe By Not Listening To It
Believe it or not, the food crisis is real in Europe. Currently, about 20 million tons of grain are stuck in Ukraine, as there is no possible route to transport them to other parts of Europe. Keep getting food from Brazil, though.

This may seem strange, but it's a fact. Brazil is the only power that is saving the world from a catastrophic food crisis. For the European Union and the world, Brazil is the fourth largest food producer. The country produces all its own staple foods and is the world's largest producer of bananas, chocolate, cassava, coffee, corn, rice, soybeans and sugar.

While most of these products are consumed in the United States, a significant portion of them is exported to Europe, such as orange, palm oil, garlic, peanuts and tea. At the moment, none of those exports are stalled, and the reason is pretty easy to guess: Bolsonaro did not fall for Western propaganda to sanction Russia.

Protecting the 'fertilizers'

Brazil's agriculture is one of the main pillars of its economy. The country needs a constant supply of fertilizers to feed its powerful agricultural industry. For this, the country depends largely on Russia, as Moscow remains its main exporter of fertilizers, responsible for 44% of the total fertilizers Brazil consumes each year.

Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has claimed that his government and his country would remain neutral, avoiding condemnation of the attack.

Not only that, but Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro also had a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on February 16, and, on the occasion, Bolsonaro said: “We look forward to cooperation [with Russia] in several fields. Defense, oil and gas, agriculture Brazil stands in solidarity with Russia "

The US government had condemned Bolsonaro's visit. But what went unnoticed was that Brazil somehow prevented its fertilizer supplies from being affected. Brazil still needs to import 97% of the around 10 million tons of potassium it uses for agricultural production each year, becoming the largest importer in the world.

The Minister of Agriculture of Brazil, Tereza Cristina Dias, asked countries to find an international solution to the problem, noting that the shortage of fertilizers would cause "food inflation and potentially impair security" to feed".
Yes, Brazil itself has many untouched potassium reserves within the Amazon. But, we all know that if Bolsonaro touches the Amazon, environmentalists will heavily criticize him.

Thus, by making a deal with Russia, Brazil also prevented potassium mining, which could have hurt the Amazon and led environmentalists to strangle it.
Bolsonaro avoided the food crisis

Brazil is the largest exporter of agricultural products to the European Union since last year. Although it cannot replace agricultural supplies from Russia and Ukraine. Still, it is enough to keep the eu running.

If Brazil were to reduce production due to a shortage of fertilizer, this would certainly be bad news for a global food crisis. Although not happening, it could have become a reality if Brazil was on the West side.

The war in Ukraine, coupled with economic sanctions from the West, has put food security and the world supplies at great risk. These sanctions were intended to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, but as a result, they're causing serious danger to the world's ability to feed itself.
Not only that, but Brazil is also seeking international solutions to an emerging food emergency crisis that, in the worst case scenario, could see millions of people starve to death, especially in the poorest layers.

At the United Nations, the Brazilian government has presented a proposal for Agriculture and Food that excludes fertilizer products from any sanctions imposed on Russia.
In the end, the world should thank the Brazilian government for not ally with the West and imposing sanctions against Russia. President Bolsonaro averted an acute food crisis in the world by securing the country's stocks with the help of Russia, which is why the world is still able to function.
