I was worried about WW3.

Then I realized, a computer technician had access to Hunter Biden's laptop. Lin Wood hinted that he had seen them and had access to them as well. Makes sense, if a tech had them, certainly people closer to Trump had them.

And so would the KGB. Putin has them. Putin has all the dirt. Putin moved against Bush, Obama, and Biden because they were dirty as hell and he had dirt on them. Trump was tough and a good negotiator, but more importantly he was clean. Putin didn't go against Trump because he had no dirt on Trump.

SO, Putin is running this show, there will be no WW3. Putin will take a lot of Ukraine and then pull back to look like he has conceded but will keep exactly what he wants.

Biden will sanction the hell out of Russia, they will look tough but have no effect. The sanctions will be dropped a short time from now when people forget about it. The pipeline will be built but possibly renamed so they can claim that it is something different.

Basically Putin gave Biden a choice. I can bring you down, or I can give you a distraction. That is why he waited till civil unrest in this country grew. He used the trucker strike as leverage.

CHINA - Cannot take Taiwan. China needs the chips that Taiwan produces. If they go in militarily, they risk blowing up those plants and the countries that actually built them will rebuild somewhere else. China can't make apartment buildings that don't fall apart. They can't produce microchips without foreign investment and no one with any brains is going to send their I.P. to China. China will bluster but they cannot move. It is impossible to run a high-tech surveillance state without chips. Lots and lots of chips.

SO, this will be gone and memory holed by the middle of March. Putin's smartest move is to play nice now that he has what he wants and let Biden twist in the wind with inflation and the trucker strike. If Biden gets out of line Putin can bring Hunter Biden up on charges in Russia or deny entry in to Russia to Joey Biden and start leaking full documents as the evidence of their crimes.

The truckers would never leave.

SO, the world isn't ending just yet - this is all theater and bluster. When WW3 starts, we won't see it coming.
