While we are being distracted by Ukraine, President Putin has advanced his geopolitical goals materially. Aided and abetted by President Xi, Putin is taking the Asian continent into his control. That mission is well on its way to being achieved. He now awaits the winter months to finally force the EU to reject America's hegemony. Only then, will the western end of the Eurasian continent be truly free of American interference.

This article explains how he is achieving his strategic goals. It examines the geopolitics of the Asian landmass and the nations tied to it, which are commercially and financially turning their backs on the US-led western alliance.

Relevant Gold Announces Trading, 
Begins Drilling at Golden Buffalo Site

Company Announcement
Wednesday, August 10, 2022

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Relevant Gold Corp. today announced that is has filed its non-offering prospectus with the British Columbia Securities Commission and has received approval to list the company's common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The prospectus was filed to qualify the distribution of the common shares previously issued by the company. No securities were sold and no proceeds were raised pursuant to the prospectus. Relevant Gold’s common shares are expected to begin trading on August 11 under the symbol RGC.

In March 2022 the company completed a non-brokered private placement financing that raised gross proceeds of C$5.703 million. Relevant Gold issued 16,293,862 common shares at C$0.35 pursuant to the private placement.

"Relevant Gold is strongly positioned as we head into the exploration season and we are excited about the opportunities before us," Relevant Gold CEO Rob Bergmann said. "The capital we raised this spring gave us the runway we needed to secure a drilling contractor and advance our flagship asset, Golden Buffalo, to the point of commencing drilling in July. On behalf of the board I thank our shareholders for their continued support as we make the transition from private to public company and begin drilling exploration of our first Wyoming asset." ...

I look at geopolitics from President Putin of Russia's viewpoint, since he is the only national leader who seems to have a clear grasp of his long-term objectives. His active strategy conforms closely with Halford Mackinder's predictive analysis of nearly 120 years ago. Mackinder is regarded by many experts as the founder of geopolitics.

Putin is determined to remove the American threat to his Western borders by squeezing the EU to that end. But he is also building political relationships based on control of global fossil-fuel supplies -- a pathway opened for him by American and European obsessions over climate change. In partnership with China, the consolidation of his power over the Eurasian landmass has progressed rapidly in recent weeks.

For the Western Alliance, financially and economically his timing is particularly awkward, coinciding with the end of a 40-year period of declining interest rates, rising consumer price inflation, and a deepening recession driven by contracting bank credit. 

It is the continuation of a financial war by other means, and it looks like Putin has an unbeatable hand. He is on course to push our fragile fiat currency based financial system over the edge. ...
