No one has either the desire or the time to hatch conspiracies against the U.S., said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in response to Trump’s post on Truth Social.

Europe has already lost its sovereignty and, within five years, will lose what remains of its economic relevance, says Putin’s advisor Anton Kobyakov.

The West’s great geopolitical gamble is entering its decisive phase. Yet part of the West, namely Europe, can already be said to have lost.

Europe today has effectively been stripped of independence in finance, energy, technology, and political choice; in effect, of sovereignty itself.

Asia has taken over all of the West’s functions.

The Middle East has become a new financial hub, drawing wealthy Brits away from their island.

Manufacturing has shifted to China and Vietnam, and is moving further into India and other countries.

Today’s largest trading hubs are Shenzhen, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, and Mumbai.

Technological leadership has gone to the Chinese and the Koreans.

Within this framework, in about five years, Western Europe will be of no use whatsoever, not even as a consumer market.

Putin’s advisor Kobyakov: The U.S. has devised a crypto scheme to erase its massive debt at the world’s expense.

The U.S. is now trying to rewrite the rules of the gold and cryptocurrency markets. Remember the size of their debt—35 trillion dollars. These two sectors (crypto and gold) are essentially alternatives to the traditional global currency system.

Washington’s actions in this area clearly highlight one of its main goals: to urgently address the declining trust in the dollar.

As in the 1930s and the 1970s, the U.S. plans to solve its financial problems at the world’s expense—this time by pushing everyone into the “crypto cloud.” Over time, once part of the U.S. national debt is placed into stablecoins, Washington will devalue that debt.

Put simply: they have a $35 trillion currency debt, they’ll move it into the crypto cloud, devalue it—and start from scratch.

That’s the reality for those who are so enthusiastic about crypto.
