Yeah, I am not happy about that. We are in very dangerous waters right now. A few miscalculations and things could "go South" really fast.

We need to be declaring a "Global Crisis" and coming together. Instead, we are trying desperately to keep the old system afloat. Hoping that we scrape by without too many deaths.

For those of you have just started following, what Mitch is referring to is this piece which I wrote April 11th.

Putin’s Strategy is coming into view. If you weren’t clear on it, World War III has started.

Where I wrote.

“are you naïve enough to believe that Putin didn’t know this was going to happen when he invaded Ukraine? He’s counting on millions of starving climate refugees flooding into Europe. That’s part of his strategy.

Those starving people are Putin’s flank attack on Europe. That’s how ruthless Putin is.

No one can intervene in Ukraine, so as long as he wants to feed Russian troops into the meat grinder that war will grind on. He might not be able to “win” right now but he can prevent Ukraine from functioning as a country.

He can keep their factories from producing anything.

He can keep their fields empty, and prevent them from harvesting crops.

He can murder their civilian population without consideration of consequence.

He can make Ukraine completely dependent on foreign support.

Because, he knows that an army of starving people is going to make that foreign support go away and leave the Ukrainians twisting in the wind.

He just has to keep the war going for the rest of the year.

So no, I don’t think Putin is losing. I think WW III has started.”
