Again. "Journalism" meant to minimally inform those who already know and not alarm those who haven't yet, can't or won't put the pieces together. Allow me to break this cycle.

Every Country is following up on what the UK first labelled "Lifeboat Ethics." In the context of ecological overshoot, including but not limited to climate change, a great many places will become uninhabitable, due to heat stress, crop failure, flooding, drought and extreme weather events. Global refugee migration patterns are expected to explode far beyond countries abilities to incorporate, feed, house and economically care for them. Like lifeboats getting overwhelmed by survivors of a shipwreck, the moment calls for hard decisions on who get into whatever lifeboats remain and who is left to drown.

Rather than risk getting overwhelmed by refugees, countries are pre-emptively responding. The UK went Brexit. America went Fascist and Canada, for starters, put in this. Every country big and small knows what's going on. Political, civil and military planners have been on this to varying degrees of intensity for decades now. Russia's play for the Ukraine is their reaction. They want the fertile Chernozem soils that are the backbone of its status as a globally significant breadbasket.

For those who aren't in the know, the next 100 years are going to look like a great big geopolitical game of musical chairs played on a global scale. Don't be the one without a chair when the music stops.

Enjoy!
