Rurik poses a very interesting question: why does the globalist spook Deep State of the West depose its most effective servants like Ghaddafi, Hussein, Noriega and the Shah of Iran? And, according to Rurik, Putin.

I thought about it, taking a lot of ideas from Matt Ehret, and here are my thoughts. The Deep State is interested in a globalist world government. Countries will, at the most, be dependent provinces with local administration always under the control and supervision of the central Deep State.

The leaders who were stabbed in the back after being put into power were exactly those leaders who began developing their own identity and their own base of power in their countries. They were bringing out the idea of being a coherent country to their own nations. Even though they paid homage to the Deep State, they were developing the potential to strike out on their own. The Deep State would prefer to have a failed, flailing country than a coherent nation. So, any leader making a name for himself on the basis of his personality had to go. Saddam Hussein was deposed. Iraq is now a weak region dominated by Iran. Can you name the Iraqi leader now? Similarly, strongman Ghaddafi of Libya was deposed; Libya is now a faceless collection of bandit states led by no one in particular. Assad of Syria was a popular, effective leader bringing Syria together: he had to go.

If my hypothesis is correct, Zalinsky may or may not be able to hold onto power during the war, but 100% certain he will be deposed when the war ends. He's got too much personality and charisma for the Deep State to allow him to stay on as Ukraine's leader.

So in sum, it's much more important to the globalist Deep State to dissolve national identity than it is to be served effectively. This is why it stabs its more effective servants in the back. Trump drives the globalists mad not because he's a revolutionary; he's not. He's a reformer. But, he bases his appeal on the concept of the US as a nation with it's own interests. This idea is a direct threat to the globalist Deep State.

Weakness invites aggression in geopolitics, and 30+ years since the dissolution of the once vaunted Red Army is now reaping bitter fruit for the Russian people whose lives have been upended by this tragic & senseless fratricide--er, "Special Military Operation"--now approaching its third year, and with no end in sight. Pity that Prigozhin's abortive putsch last year didn't succeed, since it was perhaps the last, best opportunity to avert a direct clash of arms between an expanded & emboldened NATO vs. the RF.
