Gorbachev’s genious is yet to be fully understood.
Yeah, he was a great chemist.
He dissolved the frozen will to power of the stalling USSR into a fermenting pool of capitalism, from which such perfect chaos of opportunism arose between all the factions that it would take thoroughly Russian mind to find a way to control it. Someone would have to come who understands all facets of Russian power. A “scholar” - like Kissinger in your scheme, but in domestic politics, which in Russia are more like foreign politics sometimes.
I imagine you get a general migration flow across the whole continent to the North, leading to the population of Greenland. Maybe Churchill at the Hudson will finally see some action. Lets buy a plot of land there and start a casino.
Let’s buy a plot of land there and start a casino anyway.
Well yeah I was thinking, auxiliary plan for when you need to get on top of things quickly.
So how do/would you perceive a way forward?
While we are all discussing the latest status quo of world events, I can sense behind-the-scene moves being made… always moving, hardly ever snoozing, when there’s gains to be made.
I was watching a documentary on Norway yesterday evening… a very informative historical journey, encompassing all aspects of their societal nature… including what they would have drank, how they would have socialised, and how they would have courted/got it on, which brought to mind the time I was on my way home from up the riad and a very cute Norwegian guy who was sitting at the bus stop close to my house asked me to sleep with him because he’d never slept with ‘my type’ before, and I asked him why me… why not ask some other female who would be happy to oblige… why approach me to mess with my world view, but all he cared about was the agenda he had set himself, that he acquired when our paths crossed.
Same time next week… another European country’s historical past to explore…
"So how do/would you perceive a way forward? "
Well I don’t know if you play a lot of chess, but ways forward are notoriously hard to predict.
I think you’re right. Russia was an empire already before the USSR. I agree that this is very important in noticing the genious and the patriotism in Gorbachev.
I learnt, but don’t play… except for a handful of times, in which I didn’t fair too badly for a novice player… or so I was told by all present… though I knew I would revisit it at some point in time.
So not one, but many, contingency plans… as well as a backup plan or 10?
Really, your mostly wasting time looking for the one beautiful move that shifts the balance.
China uses a very old strategy, merciless pawn structure and not to be goaded under any circumstance. The idea is to wear the opponent down little by little. It is one of the most effective strategies out there, if you are good at it, which China is.
But Lo!
Trump has goaded China.
Anyway, many more things going on.
My opinion, Russia the US and China are looking for any excuse to get along. It’s really Europe’s cowardice that has presented China with a flanking maneuver it could not refuse. Europe and the University class.
So now Russia waits, China and Trump are over-extended, and it is a matter of whose structure is more solid to determine whose favour the balance will end up in.
Russia and US have in common no interest in complete world domination anymore. China, being a communist hold-out, does, but their genious is never dropping reasonableness. They can be worked with. As long as the balance is not in their favour.
What will become of Europe?
It and the middle east are both more board than player. Europe because they centralized all agency in the state, so no free humans actually making descisions, and no industrial capacity to be at least a dominating state apparatus like Chi-nah, the ME because they are old school and like wars and need allies. Also because they contain the last pockets of functioning old-school Nazism.
Russia and China along with all their political or national allies around the world are going to make mince meat of the dying empire that is the United States. I don’t like communist China at all but even I can see the writing on the wall that both Russia along with China are ascending while the United States sits at the crossroads of complete total collapse. I of course view this as an opportunity for both American and Canadian nationalists to utilize with our own political agendas much like how the Visigoths utilized the collapse of Rome for theirs.
Of course with the complete total collapse of the United States there will undoubtedly be other groups waiting to make their move domestically who are not nationalists, it’s going to be a giant free for all. Will be interesting what goals American or Canadian communists and anarchists have in mind with the collapse of government. Almost looks like the Spanish civil war of the 1940s come to think of it here in North America. Just think of me as a Spanish Franco supporter.
I always feel bad for the anarchists, they always find themselves between a rock and a hard spot between communists and fascists. Historically they’re always betrayed by the organized communists that usually take them out, like clockwork.
The anarchists just never can seem to ever win. 
Anarchists never win because to beat an army, you have to raise an army of your own.
And once you start leading, you start organizing, and thus ends the “Anarchy” to sacrifice for order and discipline, enforced rules and strict guidelines.
Don’t tell the fucking imbeciles that, they never listen.
“Muh - social utopian volunteerism.”
“Muh- no government decentralization.”
"Muh- non-aggression pact. "
“Muh- make love not war.”
"Muh- original natural human goodness corrupted by society and civilization. "
“Muh- can’t we all just get along?”
"Muh- sovereign individualism. "
“Muh- no authority man.”
"Muh- anarcho communism or anarcho free-markets. "
In the forests of Canada if a civil war emerged, would you and Fixed Cross venture into the forests to live like Ewoks smoking dope?

lol, so true
In the end, most cowtow and bend the knee to the State. Not like there’s much “Choice” when push comes to shove.
Anarchists historically have always been a meme, they’re not even real! A bunch of larping faggots, I say this as an ex-anarchist myself.
only after the war is won man.
But good plans.
War? What do you have in mind? Please extrapolate.
Believe it or not, I think we’re ultimately on the same side.
Even if you hate Trump and Israel, what you really hate is the bigoted state, and I hate nothing more than the bigoted state, and all real men hate the bigoted state and all people of whatever race and faith that work for it.
The way things have been shaping up ever since Obama got in the White House make it really hard to see how things will resolve without a cataclysm.
But unlike you I don’t feel comfortable speculating publicly on how precisely the shit might go down, as I am usually rather astute in my predictions and analysis of power games, so much so that I am certain mine enemies would profit from reading my thoughts.
For example, going by IP addresses, the main visitors on my own site are government agencies from US, China, Russia, Ukraine, etc. Whenever I publish on political and military strategy there are a bunch of IPs from superpowers and nations at war, and a few days later Ill read about my ideas in the press - either because some army executed my plans or because some newspaper investigates their merit.
I know no civilian would believe me, but then I dont respect civilian thought much.
