    There is a second angle to all of it, and that’s the Elon Musk/Peter Thiel/JD Vance angle, which also appears to be aimed at imploding the US but the goal there is privatizing government rather than helping foreign nations.

      That’s a good point.

      They want to help Russia but also line their pockets along the way.

      100%.

        Afaiu, they don’t give a hoot about Russia, they just see the US as “declining” and thus want the US to end as quickly as possible, so they can privatize the remains for their own benefit.

          Actually there’s more to it than just their own benefit, and it’s far more dangerous.

          It’s about saving the world by destroying it. There is this strange movement called accelerationism, basically the idea that tiday’s world is doomed and we should speed up it’s destruction to trigger {the rapture,world revolution leading to communism,settling Mars,alien intervention}.
