The system could crash, unfortunately what I see is coordinateted asset price crash, wall street hovers up companies for cheap as its doing in Europe and elsewhere and we get a form of neo feudalism. This is the way of modern dominance. Ukrainian has been a massive success in the way Iraq etc were. Not in the military sense, but it creates Chaos and that benifits the hegemonic forces in the heart of the imperium.
Excellent forward-looking piece. With regard to the war, there are comrades in Russia who have called attention to the fascist tendencies that exist there as well - perhaps not as dangerous currently as those in the imperial core but definitely present. The fracturing of the global economy and capitalist crisis exacerbates all of these tensions, as you point out. Will the Western capitalists make deals with their Russian counterparts at least for the time being? There are lots of companies that still operate in Russia, but as most recognize the fracture is permanent and irreconcilable. After the G20, when no agreement will be reached, the war will escalate. I suspect all the talk of openness to negotiations floated through the Western press is simply the last setup to cast the Russians as totally unreasonable and evil - watch for another round of war crimes allegations after their withdrawal from Kherson.
