MadVlad Episode V

Spirit of 2015

Is it a frightened Russian President running for cover, an astute politician playing cat and mouse with a lame duck US president or a chancer on the make? Take your pick but either way, they're both trapped in a political soup of their own making. President Obama is in hock to the ideology of appeasement and indecision. While President Putin is enraptured; by his very own KGB charisma, though in a way they're both trying to wind back the clock. To what in their separate and misguided ways, they regard as better times.

Both have surrendered to expedience in the face of indecision. Mr Putin because his grip on power is tenuous to say the least after rigging the electoral system, whilst President Obama is jealously guarding the legacy of a star on the wane due to diminishing expectations and Is out to salvage what little is left of his tattered reputation.

The pair of them lack real statesmanship, and they do so by avoiding the true purpose of great office and taking the easy option. Though it's hard to see how Mr Putin might survive re-election if Capital Flight wrecks the CIS economic prospects. In the end its economics wot does for 'em, as surely as it did for the USSR.

Overall it's the fact that banking worldwide has been dragged into disrepute in America by the antics of the Wall Street Casino, and in Russia by the antics of the Oligarchs. Transforming the Russian economy by privatisation was never going to be a smooth transition and wresting control of the Banks in the free world is all but impossible without a radical re-vamp of their M.O.

Maybe something to value money against gold was doomed; when they demonetarised silver. So maybe that’s the answer with States and countries turning to debt-free loans. With stricter limits on Fractional Reserve Banking and real time accounting based on real time profit with a fair day's pay for a fair day's output.

Time for the world to recognise you cannot get a pint from a half pint pot and the 5  small fishes and 5 small loaves tale is a myth. The fill yer boots and clip clop off into the sunset mentality has to be ended for all time. It should have ended with the Plunder of the Spanish Main but it appears we learn little from history and continue to make the same old mistakes in the same old way, indeed as Arthur Wellesley pointed out:- They came at us in the same old way and we beat 'em off in the same old way.

Spirit of Waterloo needs to be re-invented in a brand new way. fit for purpose in this so-called Modern Age.of new Beginnings 

Watch this. Space, I'll be back
