What makes the pandemic and "decarbonization" related to World War III
The result of each past World War in our common history has always been a redistribution of spheres of influence, a change in state borders and a restart of a new cycle of development of the capitalist economics... The belligerent countries plunged into debt, and after that the winners wrote off their debts and solved problems at the expense of reparations from the defeated, who paid for this whole "banquet". And even if now there are no large-scale tank battles, and there is no naval battle for some Pacific atoll, but something like the Third World War may have already begun several years ago, but not everyone has realized it yet.
Let's calmly and without unnecessary emotions try to assess what is happening in the world. And there, for several years now, a real economic war of survival has been going on, with the goal of a new global redistribution. Moreover, two fronts were clearly outlined.
Corona crisis
We will not now argue about whether COVID-19 is man-made, or whether it really originated somewhere in Wuhan, China. Let the investigation and the court deal with this. Only the socio-economic consequences of the pandemic will be important for our reflections, and they are so large that they have yet to be understood and realized. Let's say the coronavirus really spontaneously originated and began its expansion across the planet without someone's malicious intent, and after that the cunning dealers from BigPharma and other “globalists” decided to take advantage of it.
What actually happened? Due to general lockdowns in 2020, industrial production was suspended around the world, and in some places was stopped. Stock markets collapsed, oil prices reached negative (!) Values, natural gas began to cost a penny. The world economy lost about 10% over the year, which is quite comparable with the consequences of a major armed conflict in which many countries are involved. At the same time, prices for the products of pharmaceutical corporations jumped up. And all this, we note, without a single shot.
The need to fight the coronavirus pandemic and its consequences has led to an increase in budget spending, and therefore in borrowing. IMF analysts have concluded that by the end of 2021, the total public debt of all countries in the world will reach 99% of the planet's GDP. Some parallels with the belligerent countries involuntarily arise, but, as in a conventional war, the economic potential of all is very different. Developed countries have more opportunities to build up their debt and service it than developing countries, so they will all come out of the war with different results. And then the IMF staged an attraction of unheard of generosity, offering to allocate monetary surrogates to all its partners, ostensibly to help restore the economy. The fact that this whole story smells bad, and Russia should not participate in it, we in detail told previously. The obvious goal of this international financial structure, despite the declared "noble" intentions, is to help the rich countries and at the same time drive the poor into even greater debt bondage. And again we see some analogies with an attempt to fix the results of the "world war". But that's not all, there is also a second front.
"Decarbonization"
By a surprising coincidence, the leading Western powers have decided to begin the active phase of the process of phasing out fossil fuels and switching to renewable energy sources right now. The leaders in this matter are the European Union, the United States and China. Oil and gas producing countries, including Russia, will suffer the most from their initiative. Also, big problems shine on all exporters, whose products will have a high "carbon footprint" in their production. All developing countries, including ours, find themselves behind the side of this “mighty handful”, which will have to pay an increased fee for the right to access the European, American and Chinese markets. Their economies are in need of a "green restructuring", but this is extremely difficult to do in the face of a pandemic and increased budgetary expenditures. Not earlier and not later did the world leaders start all this "decarbonization", however!
If you look closely, this whole "green initiative" against the background of the "plague" is very reminiscent of the project of a global world reconstruction and restart of the economy on a new technological order. Is all this some kind of cunning and inhuman plan, or just "it happened"? We cannot give an unambiguous answer to this question. But what can Russia do?
As we previously told, our country has all the necessary resources and competencies in order to integrate into a rapidly changing world. Note that, unlike other states, Russia does not recklessly increase its debts, but, on the contrary, seeks to reduce them. Moscow ignored the "gifts" from the IMF, and recently the Russian government decided to pay off its internal debt in the amount of 875 billion rubles. In this context, such a financial policy seems very reasonable.
