Prof. Karaganov, a well known Russian political and economic advisor close to President Putin and Foreign Minster Lavrov, speaks openly, directly. In this interview with Tucker Carlson (interview starts at min. 48), he says in unequivocal terms that President Putin has been too cautious and that Russia in the next year might have to take the grave decision of showing what nuclear deterrence means to Westerners who forgot that. Germany and Britain would be the primary targets.

In this article months ago, I have already considered his position regarding the coming escalation in the conflict between the** **EU/NATO and Russia. I have analyzed why — in my opinion — a hot war in Europe is increasingly likely and what the incentives are for the EU’s corrupted elites to foster war. There is an additional point worth mentioning, which sadly moves the doomsday clock forward for Europe. Investments in “war as a business” – the term ‘defense industry’ is the politically convenient rebranding of destruction as protection – have reached €400 billion in 2025, almost quadrupling since 2020. They will continue to grow in 2026, so much so that there seems to be a massive shortage of manpower in the industry. A Czech company says it could easily “generate more business for its missile and drone engines, if only it could find the staff”. Now reflect carefully on those words and ask yourself: how can they generate more business for missiles and drones? It is not exactly the same as asking, “How can one generate more business for a coffee shop, right? Just put up adverts, rely on word of mouth, and get good reviews on socials?”

For historical reference, look at the two countries where the impact of the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) is highest in absolute terms and relative to the size of their economies. These are the US in absolute terms and Israel relative to its size. And what countries have been in “forever wars” for the last 30 years? The same two, right? So here you see what the incentive is for a militarized economy which produces tools for death and destruction and has to make profits out of that.

For Europe it will be the same: its newly militarized economy will have to make profits and create wars by either manufacturing external threats and a casus belli and/or use it against its own citizens in the coming DDR style Palantir’s supplied and sponsored digital prison.

BlackRock & Co own most global companies of the MIC. And a former BlackRock executive is Germany’s Chancellor (“revolving doors” anyone?).

As the BlackRock Chancellor advocates for re-arming Germany and the EU to levels not seen since before WWII, you can easily guess where that leads to.

There is not a free market for drones or missiles. There are more or less free markets for commodities, for foodstuffs, for all sorts of equipment, for machines which build useful stuff, etc. But the only market for missiles and drones is WAR. And people normally do not want wars, unless they are bloodthirsty radicalized Zionist-Neo-Con psychopaths. Governments should also abhor wars because, just like their citizens, they gain nothing from it. But war-triggering events are artificially crafted by those who benefit from wars and have done so for centuries. The “war profiteers” class - the likes of BlackRock & Co and the predatory banksters - who profit from death and devastation in multiple creative ways: first, they sell arms to destroy; then they lend generously “digital money” – which they create out of nothing in unlimited amounts with a stroke of a button - to the countries to fund the war; then they pillage their resources imposing externalities to pay back the war loans; then they award their multinationals fat contracts to rebuild (paid with the very same loans they have first made) so that the money enters the country, is skimmed by corrupted local officials and then exits the country again to pay back the lender, while the country’s population shoulders the debt for a lifetime paying taxes which sucks up the resources which could have been otherwise invested to develop and grow the country’s infrastructures and its economy. Call this the “system of pillage and debt slavery” which applies indiscriminately, though with some variations, in both developing and developed countries.

Trump’s most recent initiative, which might well grant him the “Nobel-Epstein Peace Price”, is the “board of peace”. This is yet another war-profiteering initiative to build skyscrapers over hundreds of thousands of Palestinian bodies buried under the rubble in Gaza, which nobody should ever find because the genocide never happened. Yes let’s forget everything, let’s bury it all under a new luxury “Las Vegas” of the Middle East.

This is sadly a centuries-old game, and when one sees that Europe’s ONLY investments are in the “war as a business” industry, one knows for sure that after they have built the infrastructure and manufactured the products, they will have to make a profit out of that “investment.” Since nobody needs or wants wars, they will have to artificially create that “market need”.

Here the “media/disinformation” complex, the so called presstitutes, comes into play. Mind you, they are owned by the very same banksters who own the MIC. So there are synergies there. And the presstitutes are tasked with building a suitable narrative to manipulate the masses, just like an advertising agency creates a marketing campaign. Except that instead of selling the new brand of washing powder - which cleans “whiter than white” - they tell us that the “evil Russians” are coming, the Iranians are building nuclear weapons (since 1995), Saddam had WMDs, Maduro was a drug lord and safely harbored Hezbollah, Iranians, Hamas, etc. Or, which is just a variation of the same theme but for another selling campaign, that minors shall be protected from evil internet predators (funny that it is the “Epstein predatory class” who sound the alarm to save your children), so that their companies producing surveillance tech (like Palantir or Open A.I) can make trillions and put you in a digital prison you will have trouble getting out of. Or, another variation, that your liberties must be restricted because a new pandemic has suddenly arrived and — quite miraculously — one of THEIR pharma companies can make trillions with public contracts granted by the same corrupted politicians appointed by them and paid with your taxes, so that an unsafe and experimental vaccine can be tested on billions of fearsome and gullible human guinea pigs.

If you do not understand by now that you are the victim in all such cases and that they always sell you a “product,” whether it is war, chemically manufactured artificial foodstuff which makes you sick, an experimental vaccine with side effects, then drugs to counter the side-effects, hidden surveillance tech or digital bank money which enslaves you, then you have no one else to blame except for yourself and your own ignorance.

So ask, is there a way out of that, a way in which they can be stopped? I believe there is only one possibility: defund them. We must take away the thing that makes them so powerful: MONEY. The fiat money system that they have created manufactures money out of nothing, which funds their unlimited wars and preys on billions of people worldwide, while giving an exorbitant privilege to the elites, both political and economic. Voting is useless since democracy is a fiction in a fiat-corrupted system; protesting also gets you nowhere; hunger strikes the same; and violent opposition to overthrow them will land you in prison. They have all the tools and the power to squash you like a cockroach.

Except ONE thing: STOP using their money. STOP enriching them. STOP playing their war games. Learn what Bitcoin IS and not — mindful of the above line about the role of their media in manipulating the masses — what THEY tell you it is. Study and invest time to become free and self-sovereign. Learn how to self-custody Bitcoin, run your own node, and stop being a slave.

Ah, and if someone tells you that THEY can also own Bitcoin, well, that is true. And there is nothing we can do to prevent that, because Bitcoin is open source and it is for everyone — including its critics and its enemies. They will financialize bitcoin just as they financialized gold and every other asset. They will attempt to manipulate its price in the short term, as they do in all the so-called “free markets” — free, of course, for them to influence.

But here lies the fundamental difference: while they own and control inside out the fiat monetary system — the very system that grants them extraordinary power and enslaves you — they cannot control Bitcoin. They cannot change its rules. They cannot print more of it. They cannot dilute it. They cannot confiscate it if it is properly self-custodied. They may participate in it, they can buy it like you can, but they cannot bend it to their will.

And long term, that changes everything.

Think, research, don’t trust verify, learn, get bitcoin, self-custody, run your node, be free.
