Quoting from The Saker's article: "The most important lesson from this latest development is that there are still some people in key positions in the US who did what had to be done to avoid a catastrophic escalation in Syria" [following the false flag "gas attack" in Douma.]
Indeed, Russian Eurasianists standing behind their country and Vladimir Putin have allies in the US, and the last thing this US based group wants is war with Russia, however, pushed to an extreme they may not be averse to starting a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula, via a false flag blamed on the North, [thereby] promising to sabotage the potential for a Chinese dominated century by irradiating the region, if the USD fiat, which underpins US military power via more than 1 trillion in annual expenditures, is suddenly collapsed.
Donald Trump is backed by this faction of the Global elite, which is attempting to disentangle the US from some of it’s foreign engagements in the MENA region, while simultaneously engaging in others, primarily in East Asia. The number one objective of this group is to contain China. As with Vladimir Putin in Russia, but for very different reasons, this group seeks to preserve the traditional power of the Nation State. This faction believes a large US government can be used as a weapon against external competitors. It understands [that] US governmental and especially military power arises primarily from USD hegemony, which allows the US to tax the world and spend the proceeds on it’s military. It is also threatened by unfettered and externally driven Oligarchical and Corporatist power, especially that which would emanate from China and a Yuan fiat.
The firing of [former Secretary of State] Rex Tillerson by Donald Trump, achieved only via Twitter after he repeatedly refused to take the hint in other communications, and who was working hard to undermine US power by smashing the capabilities of the US State Department, brought this struggle for the future more fully into the open. The Skripal affair was launched in the immediate aftermath of that firing, as a counterstroke and escalation meant to hurt Donald Trump and embarrass him away from working with Russia..
The world is a very complicated place. I strongly disagree with the oversimplified idea that this is strictly a competition between Anglo-Zionist Hegemony and a Multipolar World Order, although the struggle is indeed bipolar in nature. The real war being fought is between competing and often heavily intertwoven Deep States, representing ruthlessly competing interests, and of which the UK Rothschild ‘Octopus,’ the US-Centric Rockefeller-Kochs, and the Russian Deep State, which is itself divided between the two Anglo factions already mentioned, are among the most important. What they are fighting for is either a hard or soft landing, each according to what best serves their interests in the world destined to be born.
The other Deep States of significance include the East Asian, based in China, itself divided between Rothchild oriented Hong Kong and Chinese sovereignty oriented Shanghai, and in the MENA region, where both Arab and Persian Deep States play important roles, most often by funding one or another group or war, and often in conflict with each other and themselves, just as with every other geographically or institutionally identified group in the world. The US military (Pentagon and NATO are seperate), CIA and several others are also involved as semi-independent actors with their own peculiar factions and interests fighting each other and themselves.
What I fear concerning the Russian Deep State is that many within this group are greatly enamoured of and dependent upon the Rothschild-UK Deep State (Atlanticists), which is still by far the largest Deep State group in terms of accumulated wealth.
Notice how the UK always attacks Russia but leaves Russian billionaires alone most of the time.
On the other hand Russian Eurasianists are generally favourable to National Sovereignty and so their interests coincide more closely with the US-centric Rockefeller-Kochs plus US militarists from within the Pentagon, and so are the driving force behind the not-so secret alliance between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Notice how the US government most often attacks US billionaires while sanctions generally assist or are harmless to the Russian state.
Concerning the East Asian Deep State, which has been allied to the Rothschild-UK Deep State since the mid-19th-century, it is attempting to ply a middle way hoping to avoid a catastrophe for itself and homebase China, and expecting to eventually inherit the world as the meek are apparently destined to do.
As for the primary instigators of this crisis, who need to bury trillions upon trillions of worthless asset derivatives representing their decades- and centuries-long crime spree against humanity, the UK-Rothschild ‘Octopus’ Oligarchs based in the City of London, with numerous allies in all parts of the world, could easily slip into irrelevance should a smooth transition to a multipolar world order occur. A soft landing would doom the UK to irrelevance because they would be unable to clear their accounts of all the bad debt they have accumulated, This group is the most powerful in terms of assets and their ability to control culture, and is working hardest to push the world into a devastating crisis because their future entirely depends upon it.
Also not surprisingly, while those within the UK-Rothschild ‘Octopus’ Deep State do everything in their power to bring the US and Russia to war with each other, they plan to remain on the sidelines should they manage to provoke a conflict sufficiently catastrophic to hide their misdeeds.
