Geopolitical Focus – Week 42
With China set to appoint current political leader President Xi for another term, expect a continuation of the nation’s Mao stratagem, but also an aggressive expansion of international interests. They may not be able to buy land in North Dakota, and with strains on trade between the United States and its allies, the process is slow, but look for the superpower to place tentacles in nations globally to build a formidable military power.
With coverage of the war in Ukraine slowing by the day, the average citizen unaffected by the conflict grows further from the stresses. The situation nears a head with a mighty ultimatum upcoming: either negotiate a surrender of territories, or Russia will mobilize its vast military for the winter, placing a greater strain on Europe’s energy crisis.
In the US, it’s all hands on deck for midterm elections. The talking points grow grimmer and grimmer for incumbent democrats without a victory for Ukraine and dragging negotiations with Iraq creating havoc within the gas and oil industry globally. On a domestic front, the administration refuses to acknowledge the harrowing border crisis and crumbling infrastructure while failing to feasibly implement the Inflation Reduction Act.
Biden’s administration and fellow democrats have resorted to forcibly pushing unheard of freedoms for abortion rights, CRT taking presedence to STEM topics, ESG and Green Deal without concrete concepts, and most importantly, blaming Biden’s predecessor for No. 46’s shortcomings. Incumbent politicians typically campaign on successes. However, all we currently see are empty promises reminiscent of antiquated prophecies.
In recent memory, our diplomats have angered Saudi Arabia, stunned the Japan Prime Minister, and have worked backwards in establishing relationships with North Korea and Iraq. The Vice President’s scorecard looks equally as blank as the stare given when hit with any sort of real pushback.
The international strategy remains hammering home that Putin is bad. However, we’ve known that for 25 years. Maybe Putin thinks just as low of Joe Biden. Maybe somebody should sit the two down for a conversation. Chris Wallace would provide excellent moderation.
All we have are political allies in the administration, pulling on a centralized, Chinese government model with total control, while demonizing Putin.
Since the European Press is totally in line with the likes of CNN, MSNBC, and other left-leaning one-party progressives, it is no surprise that they are fed the good news the Biden administration is putting out, and blindly believing and following the decree from Washington almost unquestioned, without thinking of any consequences.
For now, we remain impaired yet optimistic as we resort to Angela Merkel’s favorite phrase – we can do this. But this time, hope is the recipe to muddle through in place of a plan.
