The Bifurcation of the Global System is real - from trade, economy and commodities, to Big Tech and 4IR, to regional and international blocs and organisations, to security and defence. #Velsig

Global trade looks a lot different in 2024 than it did in 2000
Putin has miscalculated on many variables in the full-scale war against Ukraine, but he did not miscalculate on the three key systemic variables - the DragonBear with 🇨🇳, the strategic partnership with 🇮🇳, and the long game with 🇺🇸 once he gets a pole position between US & China.
Putin sees this optimal window of opportunity to test the readiness of US for bilateral talks with Moscow but also the red line for future concessions if Washington really intends to get Russia out of China’s orbit in the long term. Moscow has put its conditions on the table. /4

It‘s not a pagan religion. It‘s Karl Marx and his toxic ideology that indoctrinated several generations of students at the American Universities thanks to morally corrupt Professors and professional Agents. The USSR has lost the Cold War but won the ideological battle vs America.
