Gathering Evidence, Pepe Escobar: It's War, The Real Meat Grinder Starts Now (Or not. Putin-mind-readers have fared poorly in recent years.) Friday, March 22, 2024. It’s War. The Kremlin, via Peskov, finally admits it, on the record. The money quote
I love your Blog, Dr. John. It is so meaty and I get info here that I never hear about anywhere else. I also appreciate that you carry Scott Ritter's comments on Putin's Russia. I am leaning more and more in that direction and appreciate his and Alex Krainer's perspective. Is Putin perfect? Far from it, but he appears to have worked a minor miracle through imprisoning and getting rid of many oligarchs who ruled Russia in the 1990's and has now made it possible for Russians to have a good life. Is it a Democracy? No--but neither is the USA at this point. Will we be able to return to 1776? No--but can we remake our country with blood, sweat and tears into a place we will be proud to call home? Maybe. It remains to be seen, but it won't happen without the effort of each individual. This is the era of individual responsibility. You are one who is taking individual responsibility, Dr. John. :)
"Shale Merger Wave Fizzles" Stunning really, watching the bigger is better idea fail time and time again the PTB still believe it will produce more of anything physical just by consolidation. All this method has produced so far is more management, not production. The cuts it causes are mostly to the grunt sector which ends up looking good on the books as it shows up as both a reduction in overall costs and a higher per unit produced return. Zero net benefits to the consumer in the long run, just fewer jobs over all.
