Awkward or clueless, Armageddon second coming, Epstein class mossad tapes or KGB tapes racket or not, pirate show off and arms depletion,
killer of the flower moon, and anything bad you can think of the maker of shorting chaos, one thing is dead certain:
Any move in this shit hitting the fan makes Putin win. Even if is a stall. Putin gets the lead. Even if Putin is at zero time, Europe is always at minus 1.
The whole time it is Trump giving Putin the helping hand regardless if anyone else, US included, loses. Rewinding the whole situation backwards, it is the only dead certain thing. Each nonsense move Trump made helped Putin.
Even now in Ukraine where the Ukrainians are gaining ground, Trump makes another favor to Putin in the form of oil price. And again makes Zelensky a guilty party.
We are witnessing it now with the Iran war. It is not important in this story that oil price went up and Putin is making more money. That is collateral. It is the fear of the western oligarchies that with the new positioning in the debt driven value chain they will lose and even go bust. All of us in the West. Especially Europe. So, as we see it in a test case of a mouse dropping country- Slovenia- that in the electoral debates which are borderline lousy and clueless not to say an insult to IQ in the upcoming elections in a few days, ALL parties are thinking that the Russian gas and Oil are a good thing for not going bust.
There are OPENLY for Putin, at least four parties are declaring it, from the far left to ex antyvax to far right, and also to middle of nowhere ruling ones are openly saying it, for PURE AMORAL GREED of who cares what the geopolitics says, as it is a colonial Global corporate oligarchy stuff, which is dictating the agenda with no connection to the poor Slovenians, up to the ruling neoliberals who are Waiting for the STARTING GUN which may come from Germany or Italy or any European State which is already marching into deep recession, to push and open the door at the Putin Court.
Slovenians are excellent in anticipatory obbedience- see Wolfgang Streeck on this-, especially if this German syndrem comes as a hint which suddenly morphes into fact. Google AI:Wolfgang Streeck’s concept of “anticipatory obedience” (Vorauseilender Gehorsam) in Germany refers to the tendency of politicians, media, and institutions to adopt restrictive or conformist positions before they are formally demanded
. It suggests a self-censoring, conformist behavior designed to avoid social, political, or historical condemnation, particularly concerning Germany’s historical duty to Israel or, in a broader context, in response to rising political pressure
Context: Streeck often frames this in the context of German political culture, where public discourse is heavily moderated to prevent perceived deviations from accepted norms regarding historical responsibility (specifically the Holocaust and support for Israel).
• Mechanism: This behavior involves preemptively adopting strict stances to avoid being labeled anti-Semitic or anti-democratic.
• Implications: It can lead to a shrinking space for open debate, where individuals and institutions censor themselves to avoid public humiliation or career-ending accusations.
Apart from the Israel vassalage which here is not the apparent case,, Slovenia uses this anticipatory obbedience for decades in all other fields, from the times of being brainwashed as a culture in the socialist times. But, it applies to the orbanist right the same as to the neoliberal whatever rulers.
So, half of Europe is waiting for the Starting Gun to pop and they will lick arse to the Putin Court regardless of the mid and long term consequences and ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE. Ukrainians, beware. They, The EU Oligarchy and their serfs, need the oil and gas now and who cares if they are covertly AMORAL as is Trump. Selling Ukraine by the Euro.
In Slovenia, this is already happening. Apart from the miserable mindset of the Slovenian political parties which span from the Hayek Liberation Front to the Milton Freedman front of liberators to the encompassing Ordoliberal maybe Von Mises fantasies of living within our means and a whole bunch of new taxation and/or a complete privatistaion as the two proposed factions of the same Ordoliberal Liberation front propose, and the whole Schwabian hausfrau culture, there is nothing left. A miserable vassal culture of being small and licking arse and being mostly silent not to provoke or get in sight and talk mumbo jumbo behind the back.
But Putin took hold and also China is lurking in pretty open statements of Slovenian Oligarchy leading media spin doctors. They will sell their mother for a liter of gas, sooner or later and will wrap this amoral stance in some soft power culture mumbo jumbo of better and higher order of the autocrats and quiet living ideology. As world is made of Dog eat Dog, Slovenians are choosing the right Dog. Or it is God?
As the European fiscal rules are stringent and many States are on the brink of infringement and Infraction, the Excessive Deficit Procedure is already on the Table. So, the famous saying on who is on the table as a main dish and who is around the table, it is Europe. Putin is the only way out if this Hormuz oil story. It takes more than 6 months and after it will take another 8 months to subside but in the meantime many will go bust and EU is back into austerity.
For the umpteenth time Europe will go in the drain if one thinks that creative destruction with no capital formation will help anything.. This is another European jerk of the Hayek, Milton, Ordoliberal Liberation front.
Again the federal Europe with the common Central Bank outright transactions and common Budget fire power would have been a solution in any form, mild or not, but the Liberation Front is winning on both sides, left and right. The miserable show Witchdoctor witnessed a day ago where the Left party in Slovenia – it is called “Left “- was chatting sympathetically who is the best pupil of Ordoliberal ideology of balanced budget in the middle of upcoming recession with the Milton Friedman Liberation front right party, called “Democrats”. It was sheer fun!!! The others were nodding as a 12 monkeys wise men.
By the way, Witchlady was and is completely pissed and Withcdoctor was a witness to her outrage. All of the representatives of all parties on TV are MEN IN BLACK. Literally. Some left and right have also black shirts. The best sign of the macho anticipatory obedience.
Forget what is written and proved in this blog, from tons of financial and social solutions.
The last straw with the fossil fuel and all shittificated economy is that even with the fossil shock nobody mentions the Green Transition. Not even the Solar and the coming sodium ion and solid state batteries revolution were discussed. They were talking only of the price of the petrol at the pumps. Miserable people. Nobody was talking quick and free budget deficit spending pouring into this tech. So, even if they will have the worst TWO YEARS FROM NOW on, they will not invest a dime into quick fixing of the already low solar renewable percentage Slovenia has in the EU. They will start to build a new nuke plant but in the next 20 years, when this stuff will bankrupt Slovenia, they will wait for Putin.
They are knockin at his door
WHILE PUTIN IS LOSING, TH EU IS HELPING HIM TO WIN.
