Are China-Russia – and a great deal of the Global Majority – really ready? Call it an auspicious vow.
Close the door, put out the light
You know they won’t be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don’t you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold

Within less than a year, Russian scientific innovation introduced four groundbreaking weapons:
1. Oreshnik: a hypersonic missile already trialed on the Ukrainian battlefield.
2. Burevestnik: also known as “Stormbringer,” echoing Deep Purple’s legendary sound. This is a nuclear-powered cruise missile with limitless range.
3. Poseidon: a nuclear-powered torpedo capable of indefinite stealth underwater loitering, ready to strike enemy shores at command with a devastating nuclear charge, triggering a radioactive tsunami. Its destructive capacity surpasses even Russia’s largest intercontinental ballistic missile, the Sarmat.
4. Khabarovsk: a nuclear submarine, dubbed The Messenger of Doom, equipped to deploy at least six such Poseidon torpedoes, potentially triggering apocalyptic scenarios.
President Putin clarified some crucial details, noting that the “compact nuclear systems” powering Burevestnik and Poseidon can be repurposed to develop new energy solutions, including applications suitable for the Arctic.
He also emphasized that both Burevestnik and Poseidon “use only Russian-made parts.” Praise be for those upgraded Soviet-era washing machine chips.
Even more advancements are underway along this path: “I’m talking about…the Avangard system, or the serial production of the Oreshnik missile system…soon the heavy intercontinental Sarmat missile.”
Sarmat – also dubbed Satan II – is set to enter service next year. This super-heavy ICBM can carry ten large warheads and works in conjunction with the Avangard hypersonic glider, which can evade any anti-ballistic missile defense.
Welcome to the forefront of Russia’s latest nuclear-powered cruise missiles, with reactors activating within seconds and speeds three times that of sound, approaching the threshold of true hypersonic velocity.
In essence, Burevestnik and Poseidon “will ensure strategic parity for the whole 21st century.”
This announcement has provoked a deafening silence across NATO countries, drowned in the familiar chorus of claims that “the Russians are bluffing.”
But facts don’t lie, remaining indisputable. Additional reality checks include Putin and Xi signing a mutual investment protection treaty, ensuring that Chinese interests defend trillion-dollar Russian firms like Sberbank, Rosneft, and Lukoil in a potential NATO-Russia conflict.
Within the framework of the Eurasian connectivity corridor, Putin proposed at the Russia-Central Asia summit to consolidate Eurasian logistics projects into a unified system: “This would allow us to exponentially increase the volume of international transportation through our shared region.”
The vast economic and trade possibilities of Eurasia remain underexploited. Also noteworthy is the joint Russia-China objective to establish a production-technological belt stretching from the Russian Far East to Central Asia.
Ain’t got no deal on Russia-China
These decisive realities shape a new global order now unfolding—a historic shift standing in stark contrast to the fragmented West’s desperate spasms and the escalating unilateral bullying of the so-called Empire of Chaos.
Exhibit A is Venezuela.
The self-styled Circus Ringmaster, blending a revived war on drugs with a war on territory, is contemplating:
Bombing Venezuelan military installations; sending Navy SEALS to capture or assassinate President Maduro; “securing” Venezuelan oil fields through invasion following control of airbases; or perhaps all of the above.
Trump 2.0 is already working around Congressional power and bypassing legality with dubious legal rationales to label Maduro a “narco-terrorist,” delighting the insipid Nobel Prize-supported fifth columnist Machado, the female Guaido.
This extensive psychological operation includes showy displays featuring B-52 and B-1 bombers along with deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and thousands of troops.
However, Venezuelans remain unimpressed. Diego Sequera of Mission Verdad observes, “from here, it feels like nothing will happen. No social collapse, no panic. Everyone is busy seeking la plata with year-end holiday spirit.”
Still, they must outmaneuver the Circus Ringmaster, who covets the oil so desperately (resource control is key to sustaining the Empire) and shares neocon gusano Marco Rubio’s obsession with regime changes in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
And this leads us back to the irresolvable dilemma of the Empire of Chaos. Despite his mental limitations, TACO Trump might be grasping harsh realities: he cannot “win” or enforce a “deal” against the Russia-China strategic alliance.
On the contrary, he must resort to diversionary tactics to avoid facing the reality of his strategic collapse in Ukraine (now his war), while lacking the technological and economic leverage — all “made in China” — to prevail in a drawn-out trade, tariff, and tech conflict with Beijing, as evidenced by that G-2 in South Korea. Managed decoupling is already underway.
Nevertheless, the grand illusion of US military power remains, embodied absurdly by the Secretary of Forever Wars. Unable to strike Moscow or Beijing? Caracas it is.
Oh, the Shakespearean spectacle of fury and noise signifying nothing, as the Empire of Chaos cannibalizes itself by financially extorting its vassal states (Europe), while bullying parts of the Global South.
Emmanuel Todd succinctly summed it up: what can be done when “this is indeed the first American strategic defeat on a global scale, amid severe deindustrialization in the United States and difficult attempts at reindustrialization,” while “it is already too late to compete [with China] industrially.”
This explains the loud, bullying Circus Ringmaster, silently inching toward TACO-on-steroids territory concerning Russia-China relations.
The stage is thus set for a new Netflix saga: the Empire of Rage reacting irrationally against any perceived weaker targets—a vivid display of deep-seated resentment. “Those fishing boats are full of narco-terrorists because I say so. Kill them all.”
A further threat is that European “chihuahuas” might take inspiration from this irrational surge, escalating Russophobic provocations exponentially. The only sensible retaliation would be to Oreshnik them.
The mountains are high, but the Emperor is everywhere
The classic Chinese proverb, repeated through dynasties, states, “The mountains are high, and the Emperor is far away.” In today’s context, no mountain is tall enough, and the omnipresent Emperor of Chaos—empowered by AI—is everywhere.
Yet, despite this, it cannot stop its own collapse within a schizophrenic bubble, unleashing primal terror across the intertwined plutocracies of Big Money, Big Oil, and Big Tech.
Welcome to Dystopia Central: mapping the dark, void-like geostrategic place self-described “elites” have plunged into is not difficult.
This leads us to how Russia’s leadership watches these developments—with no illusions but realism prevailing.
There could be a Trump 2.0 escalation in Ukraine—or not. Possibly a harsher assault on Iran—or not. A likely regime change attempt in Venezuela. Trump 2.0, backed by Zionist oligarchs singing backup, is a privileged psycho-killer scenario.
Then, the ultimate mirage: de-dollarization—already occurring gradually and quietly across several sectors. Just four months ago, the Circus Ringmaster panicked: “BRICS was set up to hurt us; BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar and take our dollar … off as the standard.”
That panic endures. So, when striking Russia-China isn’t possible, the next “best” choice is hitting another BRICS member. Demanding submission from Iran. Or else. But Tehran, like Caracas, remains unimpressed.
Once again, Chinese wisdom offers clarity: “Let him be strong, the breeze will blow over the hills; let him be arrogant, the bright moon will shine on the vast rivers.”
The path ahead will be turbulent—standing firm against the Empire of Chaos while preventing it from unleashing Total Dementia, destabilizing Africa, West Asia, the Caribbean, and beyond, using the Syria al-Qaeda playbook (the former headchopper is reportedly headed to the Oval Office soon).
Are China-Russia – and a great deal of the Global Majority – really ready? Call it an auspicious vow.
