The smart businessmen making money out of nothing are losing ground more and more because this man with stars on his forehead (Vladimir Putin) proves in this war that not only the oil, but the food, the guns, the transport… you name it, everything can be provided at a much better price by Russia because he sells what you get in your hands, not a product that is worth a lot less but somehow includes a bunch of unnecessary extras you have to pay because you have no choice.
He once said: “West’s wealth is fake”. By paying most of the prices we pay for, we carry on our back a certain business class, some “smart” guys that Putin had thrown out of his economy and started to build real wealth.
Russia and China, are changing the world, providing real products at real prices. That is why he and Xi are hated by the Western elites. They, Putin and Xi Jimping could sell these products at the same inflated prices as the West does and get fat purses in the short term but they chose to get their nations ahead, create real economies and real markets and real values, and in the long term, they know they will get rewards greater than the short ones.
NATO is losing a much bigger war in Ukraine, is losing on the weapons markets. I try to imagine how will the NATO countries question the NATO leaders about how long they have to buy their much more expensive products whilst there are considerably cheaper alternatives. Now I understand why Putin hired an economist, Belousov as the defence minister. Financially he had already hit some sensitive targets.
President Biden refused for years to sell deadly weapons to Saudi Arabia due to “sanctions” and now he returned to Moh’ Bin Salman to make the offer again when he realized he was gonna buy them from Russia and China. Moh’ Bin Salman’s first move was to reopen the embassy in Putin’s Ally Bashar Al Assad’s country, Syria, which means he is carefully considering all the offers and options.
The Western World still does not get that any “sanctions” they impose on a strong and reliable economy come back to the speculators like a boomerang.
