   Two thoughts raised by this blog:

   First, China has aggressively (re)armed. Japan must react or become a submissive nation to China. My thought is that Japan will rearm to the point that it would cost China more to attack them than it is worth. Pragmatism in realpolitik…

   Second, with the gradual retreat of polar ice, there is a proverbial “gold rush fever” in the air over the resources in the arctic regions. Russia is in the catbird’s seat here, as their portion of the arctic circle is huge. However, their population east of the Urals is small. I expect Russia to do a ‘balancing act’ between China and Japan in making deals in that region. Putin & Co. have shown that they are good long-range chess players. I suspect this will continue in their Arctic regions…

   Mike Morales of Above Ground World News has, for a long time, been showing the plans for the R.R. tunnel being spoken of here.

   So…..it seems the “overall” plan has been in the works from who knows when???? The change, seems to be in who will control it!! Go!! Quad!!!

   I would add that the First Couple “vacation” has been long in the works, too!! What a “smart” virus we have….it knows when & how to be used as a political tool!! 😉

   Here in NYS, one is supposed to wear a mask upon entering a restaurant, but may take it off to eat???!!! What a smart virus it is!!!

   Hi,
   What you suggesting that Japan doing in Siberia, Japan already doing it in North East parts/seven sister states in India.

   I think because of Japanese confidence to build infrastructure at such huge height and temperature going as low as -50 degrees, now Japan planning to enter into Russia.

   Also need to suggest most of the machinery that allowing India to build infrastructure in Ladakh literally by the speed of light is because of several tech transfer to companies like L&T , HCC.

   And now India is totally independent in constructing such projects, I think Russia should also ask India to help out in the building Siberian infrastructure. Afterall India is building such a railway line and might be the most difficult railway infrastructure in the history of railways.

   BTW, Japan is also investing in HSR in india.

   This is all happening because of Japanese loans on 0.1% interest rates,

     Interesting info, Arpit.

   Curious about the corporate aspects of this. Rhodes et al built a rail system “for” the people of Africa as they siphoned out all the wealth. Robber barrons of the USSA did the same here with either Lincoln or Douglas giving the rail lines any thing they wanted – land, labor, anything.

   Long term this has a number of implications that affect short term international relations. What and who on corporate levels are making out here and making it all happen?

   Curious about the short term of it all. How can a short term investor bank on any of this?

   Most curious about the psyop players in this. Are the strongest players the least affected by cv1984? Where does this take us common folk? Does this make global holodomor 2.0 more or less likely or intense?

     Curious about the “who” part here too. I always thought the Western financial elite was rabidly anti-Russia, for geopolitical and historical/religious reasons. So I wonder if they’re in on anything that would connect Russia to the U.S. I’d speculate there’s one Western faction that’s pro-nation-state and pushing for a tangible-goods-based economy; they’d be fine with closer U.S.-Russia ties. I imagine another faction that’s pro-global-governance and pushing for a digital-and-financialized-everything economy; these would be against closer U.S.-Russia ties.

       That would make Trump’s (and Kushner’s) Chabad Lubovitch ties to Russia more sensible. Brendon O’Connell makes out that Israel / Russia are a unified force with Russian emigre’s running Tel Aviv’s tech valley and siphoning off all tech from US west coast through crises and espionage. He forwards the theory that Jews all over are being attacked and pushed to immigrate to Israel in a brain drain of the west and further siphoning into Tel Aviv to maximize a hegemonic tech power there.

         I can’t make head or tails of Russia-Israeli relations in recent times, or how the U.S. and Britain fit into them… Not sure who’s on what side.

   Great analyses on the alignments[U.S./India/Japan/Russia[Australia] against the aggressive policies of Xi’s China.
   The Russian polar high-speed rail, from Canada to Alaska to Russia, looks to be an agreed-upon long term goal.

   Remember Mao Zedong,
   “POLITICAL POWER GROWS OUT OF THE BARREL OF A GUN”.
   However, the Maoists actually used two concepts together,
   “The Revolution relies on guns and pens”.
   One stands for the threat of physical violence and terror; the other for mind control. As wu[the military force of arms] and wen[literature, culture], these two instruments have served the rulers of China as far back as the classical period.

   China can be trusted to not share in global power.
   China wants to take the reigns of global power.

   Hence, the alignments to curtail that long term goal.

   Multi-focused, as to be expected with the Japanese. They understand multi front tactics quite well despite any passivism since WWII and know how crucial secrecy is in maintaining a guise that isn’t. In some ways, not unlike the Party in concealing intent until capable.

   The mention of electromagnetic waves and space is clearly suggestive of celestial and Solar phenomena where magnetic fields are well in play and having a current (literally) effect on terrestrial geology and global geography. It’s also very much related to weather phenomena way past those with their CO2 fetishes and Henny-Penny alarmist nonsense. Pathetic tries for cash rewards they do not deserve one iota for instigating.

   A tunnel approach could be feasible in that that submerged land bridge between continents remains on the same tectonic plate. Over land rail would likely do well when the permafrost comes back with a fervor should this projected Solar Minimum extend well into this century. Stocks in Arctic / Antarctic gear and provisions will likely go up and be a booming business if not a clandestine need.

   What are not so apparent are the provisions and probabilities of catastrophism included into any current negotiations. Such details certainly do not pass this desk but then one would include them if it were tasked and part of the broader table-of-talk.

   Position(s) and location(s) are two of a dozen or so very important items on any potential battlefield.
