Putin is First String

Fascism comes when third string people run for office, because first and second don't want any part of the regime.  Pres Putin of Russia is first string. Here Mish has a quote:

"While a modern state must honor its obligation 'to take care of its population and ensure its social protection' or face the risk of collapse, European countries have been 'living beyond their means' and are now witnessing the rise of a dependency mentality … [that] endangers not only the economy but the moral foundation of society. It is no secret that many citizens of less developed countries come to Europe specifically to live on social welfare."

And also noted is Russia as a 13% tax rate, lower than even Hong Kong.

And China is offering the world a better deal:

The US has used its dwindling dominance in the global financial field to unilaterally impose sanctions on other countries. Actually, the US has been practising unilateralism in diplomacy since the end of the Cold War when the collapse of the Soviet Union made it the sole superpower. Since its global military dominance is on the decline, the US has started exploiting the intensified globalization process by imposing economic sanctions on other countries, even some major ones, to force them to comply with its policies.

WE need to make breathtaking cutbacks on military and welfare spending.  Not going to happen, but we need it.
