RUSSIANS AND ANGLOS AS INSURER OF THE WORLD SYSTEM

The Russians are better negotiators, better spies, better warriors, and better guarantors of keeping peace and order. In no small part because they are suspicious, unforgiving, and ‘clear’.

Russian is not a commercial, political, diplomatic, language. It is a martial language. The Americans are better judges, and escrow-holders, diplomats, and commercial investors. The British are better bankers, more able to maintain cultural distance than the Americans. And insulated from the problems of corruption in Russia.

This is an exceptional partnership for the world: American defense of commerce and trade, and are flexible on such matters; British defense of Banking and Credit, and are flexible on such matters; and Russian defense of people, politics, capital, and territory, and are pragmatically flexible on such things.

“You really want to work with me. Because If you don’t work with me you work with the Russians. Russians have zero tolerance for threats.” vs “You are wasting my time. This is not serious. This is something for Americans.”

“Yeah, we could get away with that under the Americans, But we the Russians will just blow up everything and kill us.” vs “The Americans are too religious about such things, the British are more practical”.

Russia’s internal problem is trust, black markets, and a judiciary, and bureaucracy open to ‘influence’ (corruption). Britain’s problem is infantilization and hyper-moralism on anything visible – thankfully money is invisible.

American political processes are corrupt as hell, but the courts and the media do a very good job of insulating the commercial sector from the corruption of the government.

The germans build things. Until they get their balls back they’re pretty much useless. And the only way to do that is to withdraw from Europe so that they have no choice.
