Medvedev is Putin's alter ego.
Sometimes I wonder if what Medvedev says is what Putin really thinks but cannot say.
You certainly are not the only wondering about that! I certainly also see that as a possibility.
Medvedev is Putin's alter ego.

We are now approaching the end of our period of trial with the worst joining its tail. It seems to me , that on top of all that you have stated, a debacle made by collapse after collapse something else awaits the West in 2024-25. Our enemies have been successful. . Our end times are pathologized until every aspect of society is up ended and the normal has rebirthed as the abnormal. But all primary parasites , while set to kill the host ,own a world currency which they depend upon; and it is not only wrecked but it is also close to death as I write this. They are deceived. " Remember All is structured in cyclre and circles " .Yeah, the situation does look clear. But then again, the PTB are slippery. BRICS+ looks to be on the verge of being unstoppable. The Ukraine Nazis, the Nordstream sabotage, sanctions war, the Navalny types, etc. - all of these were supposed to topple Putin. None of it worked. Putin pegged the ruble to gold, the sanctions acted like a protective tariff, Russia mobilized and started the SMO, and the Navalny types were ineffective. The colour revolutions against Belarus and Khazakstan (not to mention Turkiye) were put down.
As you say, at the same time, America is queering its army, infrastructure is crumbling, drug use on the rise, the import of millions of immigrants, the derivates bubble and debt bubble both grow endlessly, and Uncle Sam's grip on the world is faltering. I am just wondering about all this. Is this fall of America a mix of PTB incompetence and wishful thinking, plus intervention by certain forces of virtue? How much of it is by design? The C's did say that the PTB only had 40% of its plans in place. Given that 60% gap, will the PTB make use of what they learned from the 'practice run' of the first two world wars? Because Germany was also led into a terrible situation after WW1. From Conjuring Hitler:
Not to mention millions unemployed, many women forced into prostitution, and everyday brutal left/right violence in the streets.
So the idea I'm getting at it that the PTB probably know their plans haven't turned out that well. So then what do they do? Project Ukraine has all but failed, so maybe they will simply destroy Europe and use their agents to create another hotbed for fascism. Even if the Europeans look meek and incompetent now, can they still be weaponized? If the bankers turn the taps on, then maybe the answer is yes. But as you say, this would take time.
And the PTB may also totally destroy America, too, also to create a hotbed for fascism, a strong leader and a strong state, destroying the internal enemy, as well as the external one, and all the rest. Could they effectively re-arm themselves? Maybe, even if it takes years and a massive overhaul of everything. It's not fun to think about, but that's what the 'practice run' comment suggests. Whatever it is they've got planned as a contingency, I don't like the feeling I'm getting. They probably need maximum despair to usher it in via transmarginal inhibition just like in the past. Maybe the psychopathic saviour is AI instead of a human like Hitler, I don't know. I do think they're in this for the long game, though. I don't think the PTB will use nukes, and I don't think they will just give up. Hence my speculations.
Or as we Americans call it, “Good Cop Bad Cop”. But I like your description better.Medvedev is Putin's alter ego.

Maybe as a reminder to the West: "Are you sure you want Putin gone? This guy would be his successor."Or as we Americans call it, “Good Cop Bad Cop”. But I like your description better.

This may not be accurate statement.
Just few terms back, when Medvedev was Putin`s PM and then due to law (3 terms limit - had been changed since) Putin had to step down from presidency and he became president. At that time, Medvedev was so pro West, pro US that the investments (read robberies) were unbelievable. Since Putin took back his presidency, Medvedev has been slowly moved from any position of power. Less significant assignments as Putin`s own power grew and was able to appoint pro Russia people in his government.
So I would take anything Iron Dimon says with rather a big grain of salt. He is in a position where he can say things and not be taken as seriously as an official statement. Still part of the government but not PM or Putin.

Finland's new President wants US nukes
No, it is not a joke:
Finland's new president says Finland must have real nuclear deterrent
HELSINKI - Finland's new president Alexander Stubb said NATO'S nuclear deterrent must be real for Finland, as he took office on Friday after winning a close-fought presidential election on Feb. 11. Read more at straitstimes.com.www.straitstimes.com
Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to predict what this soon could lead to. They might have crossed the line right there with those statements. If they are lucky, the Russians might hold back until the point that something real develops (aka. a concrete decision to do so and/or those weapons starting to be shipped from the US). The Finns are walking on very thin ice.

Russia launched a missile attack on the motorcade of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Odessa today, the Greek newspaper Prototema says.
This happened during a visit to the city by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Ukrainian sources have not commented on this.
Prototema refers to anonymous sources in the Greek government.
It is alleged that the blow was struck when Zelensky's motorcade was with the Greek delegation.
According to Greek media, the explosion occurred shortly before the meeting between Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis and Zelensky, 150 meters from the place where the Greek mission was located, in which, in addition to the Prime Minister, there were eight people and their guards
The publication says that no one was injured in the Greek delegation.

The Ukrainian authorities staged a provocation in Odessa during Zelensky's visit.
Earlier, Kiev had repeatedly organized similar provocations with incomprehensible alarm sirens and explosions for the arrival of Western delegations.
First, the Greek media came out with a headline accusing Russia, citing anonymous sources in the Greek government. Allegedly, the blow was struck when Zelensky's motorcade was with the Greek delegation, among which no one was injured.
The explosion occurred shortly before the meeting between Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis and Zelensky, 150 meters from the place where the Greek mission was located.
At the same time, Zelensky "remained alive" and the meeting with the Greek prime minister took place in "normal mode," writes the Greek newspaper Prototema, publishing a photo after the arrival of the rocket in Odessa near the place of their meeting.
Zelensky himself assures that there are dead and wounded:
"We saw this strike today. You see who we're dealing with, they don't care where to hit. I know that there were victims today, I don't know all the details yet, but I know that there are dead and injured," the drug addict accuses Russia.
The Greek prime Minister told how it was: "Zelensky and his staff showed us and explained the importance of the port. Already at the very end, we heard the sound of sirens and explosions that were very close to us. We didn't have time to go to a protected place, it's a very impressive experience."
As we have just been reminded, everything develops cyclically. The only question is how these cycles are perceived. Poles, for example, may recall how they sat in the Moscow Kremlin with their false Dmitry. They have the right, because it happened.The Finns are walking on very thin ice:

I think Nuland (aka War Pig) actually looks much worse than that! :) And Kuato was actually a good guy in the movie. War Pig is more like one of the most evil demons at the lowest circle of hell...I am thinking more of one of the ugly creatures in the Hellraiser movie...Finally figured out who Victoria Nuland reminds me of.

Ex-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny is being sent to London.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine reported that Zelensky "agreed on the candidacy of Valery Zaluzhny for the post of Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK."
It should be noted that rumors about this appointment of Zaluzhny circulated even before his official resignation.
Recently, a poll in Ukraine showed that Zaluzhny is 2 times ahead of Zelensky in popularity and would easily defeat him in the presidential election.
