Let’s briefly retrace one of the fundamental steps in reaching the current status quo: the dissolution of the order that reigned in Europe.

Britain and the United States have had Russia (and the Soviet Union previously) in their sights to grab since its October 1917 socialist revolution, led by the Communist Party. Britain engaged Russia in war even before that. The British-Americans, and other nations, want to conquer Russia’s vast land and its incalculable resources, especially in minerals.

As to the impending fiscal calamity, just recall this sequence. When Ronald Reagan campaigned against the soaring Federal deficits in 1980 the public debt was $930 billion and about 30% of GDP. But it had erupted to $20 trillion by Donald Trump’s first election, now stands at $36 trillion and 125% of GDP and will be hitting $62 trillion by the mid-2030s.

Danny Shaw has been traveling to Cuba since 1995 in support of the country’s socialist revolution.

With a command of Cuban Spanish, Shaw wandered off the beaten path, independently evaluating conditions in the country.
