Ukraine: The New Satellite War (Video - 49')

 With the ongoing satellite war, it is easy to understand that the war in Ukraine has very little to do with that country. It is a total war for hegemony between the West and Russia-China, which is why the risk is so high.

 Western countries have the advantage of their technology and limitless financial means (for now). The Asian block has the advantage of resources (Russia) and population (China) Although the two are not integrated which for now would hamper their effectiveness with Russia lacking manpower while China would see a more or less complete blockade of its trade routes.

 What is certain is that the next war will be unlike anything we have seen until now. Although surprisingly, this is not the case of the war in Ukraine, but the reason is that it is probably the last proxy war. 

 So what exactly could a war in the 21C look like?

 Surprisingly, very much like what we are seeing now, but on steroid. Dislocation of the global supply chain and attrition of support systems (food production, energy, industry, transportation, etc...) So much so that it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that stealthily, both sides of this conflict are slowly gearing their economy towards a war economy. Both the Corona Virus and the war in Ukraine have been used to limit and control movements, production, in China and Western countries, stop the publication of statistics in Russia as well as promote activities which are more supportive of a militarized economy.  

 The propaganda on both side is also gearing up with overwhelming support for war in the US, Russia and China. Only Continental Europe remains ambivalent considering its reliance on foreign countries for energy and other resources. The problem is that most European countries have almost no voice left beyond the European Union which is fully infiltrated and controlled by the US.  

 History shows that similar war preparations, both practical and psychological, always precede actual wars. That period can be long or short, random events being the deciding factors in the end. 

 So who will play the role of archduke in this tragedy this time?
