The hard work starts now. Welcome to the New Great Game on crack…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

2023 starts with collective NATO in Absolutely Freak Out Mode as Russian Defense Minister Shoigu announces that Russian Navy frigate Admiral Gorshkov is now\u00a0on tour<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 complete with a set of Mr. Zircon\u2019s hypersonic business cards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The business tour will encompass the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, and of course include the Mediterranean, the Roman Empire\u2019s former Mare Nostrum. Mr. Zircon on the prowl has absolutely nothing to do with the war in Ukraine: it\u2019s a sign of what happens next when it comes to frying much bigger fishes than a bunch of Kiev psychos.<\/p>\n

The end of 2022 did seal the frying of the Big Ukraine Negotiation Fish. It has now been served on a hot plate \u2013 and fully digested. Moscow has made it painfully clear there\u2019s no reason whatsoever to trust the \u201cnon-agreement capable\u201d declining superpower.<\/p>\n

So even taxi drivers in Dacca are now betting on when the much- vaunted \u201cwinter offensive\u201d starts, and how far will it go. General Armageddon\u2019s path ahead is clear: all-out demilitarization and de-electrification on steroids, complete with grinding up masses of Ukrainians at the lowest possible cost to the Russian Armed Forces\u00a0in Donbass until Kiev psychos beg for mercy. Or not.<\/p>\n

Another big fried fish on a hot plate at the end of 2022 was the 2014 Minsk Agreement. The cook was no other than former chancellor Merkel (\u201can attempt to buy time for Ukraine\u201d). Implied is the not exactly smokin\u2019 gun: the strategy of the Straussian\/neo-con and neoliberal-con combo in charge of U.S. foreign policy, from the beginning, was to unleash a Forever War, by proxy, against Russia.<\/p>\n
