Begs the question, whoâs side is putin really on? Maybe one needs to find his definition of globalism first, since there is probably more than one team.

I get the feeling Putin was tapped by the globalists to be one of their stooges, then betrayed them due to nationalist loyalties. Schwab once claimed Putin was a WEF YGL, but there is no other reference to him being a member, and he would have been too old to join the first year it existed. Of course, rules can be bent.
He did come out of nowhere. Retired from the KGB as a lt col, was a Yeltsin functionary for a few years. Then suddenly was the head of the FSB in July, prime minister in August, then became president after Yeltsin resigned in December. Wins the presidential election a few months after that, and never had a serious threat to his power since.

He certainly didnât shimmy up that pole by himself. The only reference Iâve ever heard of regarding this was that he was âtappedâ by Yeltsin himself. Who knows?

Putin did hold the rank of Lt Colonel in the KGB and was assigned to keep tabs on those ever crafty, double-dealing, liars in both West and East Germany after the Berlin Wall was demolished. Why? Because the Germans are smart, crafty folk always planning, hatching evil schemes for their minions in NATO to perpetuate against the Russians. Is it religious war? If so it is between the Vatican representativesâ of Western Christianity and the Russian Orthodox Church.

Fearing so, Russians are being held logic and legality, which the right thing for humanity but maybe not the effective thing in their self preservation thusfar.
Didnât realize the Sakerâs site was frozen in 2023.
Putin is independent in my view.
Very much on the âreligousâ side.
Doesnât explain his alleged technocratic leanings.

Read this and develop a better understanding of how the Russians govern. The key characteristic of technocracy is the belief that technical experts are best suited to apply their specialized knowledge and skills to keeping their nation running smoothly and keeping the citizens happy in all aspects of their lives.
Therefore the diplomatic side is mostly orchestrated by Sergei Lavrov, thatâs his domain. Dimitri Medvedevâs job is the day-to-day running of the government along with the Duma legislators. Then there are the police forces and military forces each run by competent officers. Medical and other domestic issues are also separate branches. Putin holds the key position of making final decisions on matters of the highest priority. This works best for all Russian citizens even down to the people who clean the streets, which by the way are swept twice each day. A stark difference between Russian cities and those in the West.

Neo-Con Wet-Dream? Yes, but more likely to become a nightmare for any nation foolish enough to take that step. My thinking is the Russians do not even need to spy on NATO. They publish their âwet dreamsâ on destroying the Russians in newspaper, magazines and in their speeches. Almost the entire NATO alliance is in fear of Russiaâs new, non-nuclear weapons that cannot be stopped. Rick Sanchez interview with Krapivnik re-Oreshnik missle
