🔴 Is the Plan Already Written?

The world has changed.

The world has changed brutally.

We are in something else now, in a new era.

The problem is that most experts, and even the people who govern us, took an absurdly long time to grasp the scale of the shift.

For a long time they played it down, clung to the old landmarks, refused to admit that there were new rules of the game we were not prepared for.

Some of us, and I count myself among them, understood this some twenty years ago, when we saw that digital technology was going to upend the balance of power and create new dependencies.

Others opened their eyes with the Covid crisis, which exposed our inability to have the kind of health autonomy worthy of a developed country. Masks and tests unavailable, no capacity to manufacture modern vaccines in France despite the billions in public money poured in. Management through the Doctolib service, which saved the day, even though managing pandemics is normally a strategic mission.

A few understood it with Trump's first election, but the majority have only just understood it, not the day after his second election, but this week, when Zelensky was invited to the White House and humiliated there.

Never in recent history has there been a disruption of this magnitude. Why are Musk and Vance (Thiel) pushing Trump to move closer to Russia, to the point of siding with Putin on every one of his demands?

My analysis is that we have entered a bipolar world and been swept into a dynamic in which two strong powers, namely the United States and China, want to take control of Russia, first indirectly, then directly.

Why?
