We are looking at the death of institutions. We are looking at people whose doom has been sealed.
Putin is being deposed. Ukraine is regaining its pre-2014 borders. Trump is going to jail. The Islamic Republic is being replaced.
Lots of noise and shouting, plenty of Sturm und Drang, and all of it is sound and fury, signifying nothing. We are seeing live-action drama of doomed institutions as they die. Their death is certain, and all that remains is for us to witness the weeping and gnashing of teeth as the outcome nears.
I have stopped reading articles about Trump. He’s a goner. I have stopped reading articles about Putin, including any story on the sham referenda. It’s all lies, as Greg says. And he’s a goner as well. The new story is the early stages of the certain overthrow of Iran’s repressive “Islamic Republic.”
Somewhere in our future we will also see the disintegration of the Chinese Federation of nations, and the disintegration and reformation of the system of capitalism containing “owners” that usurp workers. Billionaire “Owners” of companies is an outdated concept that will be abolished.
So, next on the list after the Russian Federation’s break-up and the Iranian Social Revolution + whatever catches fire in other Middle Eastern nations:
The Chinese Social Revolution and disintegration of its Communist Party, and the Transformation of Capitalism.
Your perspective is not out-of-line with certain cycles of timing, which suggest that governmental and corporate institutions are scheduled for a potential breakdown and transformation over the next few years. In order to preserve our sanity, it is good to remember the aphorism, "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls the butterfly."

Best piece I’ve seen on Iranian Revolution:
Notice how this article says that Mahsa Amini was killed for wearing her pants too tight. I haven’t seen that anywhere else.
“The legitimacy of the Islamic Republic is at is lowest point since February 1979: this is an unprecedented moment.”

Down with Khamenei!
Yes, Roland! In total agreement!
Don’t stop yet, the evil is still in power, one way or another. They have stashed all the dough.
I love your optimism here, Roland!
