Does Putin have a joker to play?

Watching the Ukraine situation unfold, I'm lost in thought as to whether this is a diversion from whatever COVID was, that's a long conversation, to whether we truly are going to go to war with leaders in the western world where the majority of the population are against them, on varying degrees of charges. I have seen everything from parties during lockdown to our leaders being part of a global plot to kill most of the world and take over the rest.

In fact, the multiple possible scenarios, from what we are witnessing, you would need Sherlock Holmes-like deduction skills even to have a stab at knowing what is going on! It is like the fabric of time and space is splitting apart in front of our eyes.

Either side is posturing about who's fault this is, and I am sure you and I could argue the case for many of them, but that is not what occurred to me recently. The mainstream media call the Ant-Vax movement, or Justin Thoreau liked to call them "The Fringe Minority", is beginning to be the growing majority of each nation or very soon could be considering the ever-increasing numbers at all the protests. From the story of the origin of the vaccine being from a bat or a lab. Multiple views on the efficacy levels. The conflated numbers of people being tested for COVID after they were announced dead has wildly varied from 17,000 officially dead in the UK to over 150,000 dead, which is a huge difference. And let me be clear, every death is tragic, but other things in our world kill more than 17000 people a year, and we don't close the world. It's the difference between being forced to wear a mask, not being allowed to leave your home, your business going bust, and watching our freedoms slowly disappear every day.

With all this doubt in peoples minds about our leadership, media and sources of information, the tech companies. My thoughts went to Putin and what he could announce about this situation and bring a vast majority of this alternative view to believe they should fight for Russia and not the western powers.

If Putin announced he was fighting against the New World Order, I think it could flip a switch globally that might be hard to contain.

If Putin announced he was fighting against the New World Order, I think it could flip a switch globally that might be hard to contain. Call the New World Order a conspiracy theory, you may, but many at this point believe this to be the truth. But imagine if he announced this theory? Do you think he would be called mad by the western media? They went after Trump, and his approval ratings are better now than ever! And not just in America, If the world had a vote right now, Biden wouldn't stand a chance; Then again, he probably wouldn't even know.

I think anything is possible in this world at the moment. Who would have thought three years ago that we would have shut the world as a whole down for two years because of a virus? Who would have thought that people openly talk about the big pharmaceutical companies, big tech and those shadowy elites trying to take over the world, with the media bought and paid for, so they only talk about one side of the story? When news becomes political, it is no longer news: its propaganda. That means we have been at war for the last two years already, but 99% of the world don't see, won't see it and probably couldn't even imagine the possibility. That is the belief of many people.

Getting their attention wouldn't be hard for people who believe this view. And today, attention is everything; ask those brands that didn't adjust to the digital world, for example. They live in a world where they believe the media is lying about vaccines. So you have to ask yourself, Why would the media tell the truth about Putin? What if Putin was fighting the New World Order? Suddenly the dilemma for these people would be which side am I on?

From what I have seen, the people who believe this are ready to fight. You can see it in their eyes, hear it in their voices, and show it in their posts and videos. Many people in each country suddenly believe that their government is the enemy. It could transform a large part of the population into the enemy militia!

If ever you get the chance to read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", I suggest you do. Because that book shows the roles that western governments have made in the downfall of countries, politicians and leaders that would make you understand this type of statement from Putin could historically light the blue touch paper.

I'm not saying where I sit in this powder keg of possibilities because that is irrelevant to what I am trying to say. I am trying to say, The dangerous situation that we find ourselves in isn't a simple matter of Ukraine wanting to join Nato and Russia not wanting a build-up of arms on its borders. How deep that story goes will be down to each individuals analysis of the information they consume. Although I won't say what my theories are, I certainly wouldn't trust one news source anyway, any source. I try to review many sides of the story from every angle, whether I agree with their assumed allegiance or not, and then I make up my own mind. And from what I see in this crazy world of possibilities is one that keeps me awake at night, Putin could have a joker up his sleeve, which could cause chaos.
