Are You Ready for Russia’s Meltdown?

Russia’s chances of winning its war in Ukraine are falling faster than a dissident oligarch tossed from a rooftop. [Outsider Club Header] Sep 23, 2022 By Jason Simpkins for the Outsider Club Are You Ready for Russia’s Meltdown? Russia’s chances of winning its war in Ukraine are falling faster than a dissident oligarch tossed from a rooftop. On Wednesday, Vladimir Putin finally succumbed to the reality of his military’s looming failure, as well as the country’s more militant voices, and announced a “partial” mobilization of 300,000 new conscripts. These are weekend warriors with little or no experience actually fighting, and they lack adequate training. But they’re all the country has left. Russia has already exhausted its main fighting force, and it’s turned out its prisons, offering clemency to anyone willing to trade in their jumpsuit for fatigues. So now it's digging deeper into the civilian population to man a war that no one but Putin himself asked for. It’s a desperate bid that’s badly exposed the myth that this effort is just a “special military operation” that Russia could and would win easily. The response was immediate and jarring. Google searches for things like “how to leave Russia” and “how to break your arm at home” spiked. The few flights out of the country filled. Those who couldn’t get on them made a break for Finland and Mongolia. And hundreds of people in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and even Siberia took to the streets in protest, resulting in more than 1,300 arrests. The Pentagon Is Scrambling to Get Its Hands on This Tech See this weird yellow room? A whopping $170 MILLION in Pentagon money is flowing through its walls... Because THE most important technology in the world today is being developed inside... A true “linchpin” that gives life to every other technology modern society relies on, from your phone and computer to your car. But the reason you need to know about this tech... Is that it could be about to make investors incredibly rich — turning every $2,500 into $245,925 in the coming weeks.

Of course, there is a chance Putin will deploy nuclear weapons. Aside from the 300,000 fresh bodies he’s drafted into service, nukes are the last trump card he has left to play. Everything else has been killed, captured, or destroyed. But the consequences would be horrific — not just for the people of Ukraine but Russia too. It would fully cement the country’s status as an international pariah on par with North Korea and Iran, alienating even the few allies it has left, notably China. And it would almost certainly bring broader military, political, and economic retaliation from the West. And to what end? The land and people Russia is so determined to reclaim would be rendered a smoldering ruin of charred corpses and radioactive cinder. Where’s the upside in that? There’s certainly no glory in it. Endless Energy Perfected at Last What you’re looking at is NOT oil, ethanol, or some crazy biofuel. But in the near future, every skyscraper, factory, truck, plane, train, bus, and boat could be powered by it. It’s so cheap and efficient it could wipe out every other conventional fuel source we use today... And hand early investors a shot at world-altering gains. [See the breakthrough for yourself here.]( So what we’re likely to see instead is a protracted conflict until Putin relents or is removed. And that first option doesn’t seem likely. Putin has backed himself into a corner, and it doesn’t seem like any off-ramp from the conflict will ever be deemed suitable enough for him to take. Thus, we’re left to ponder what for a long time has been unimaginable: a post-Putin Russia. At first glance that sounds pretty good, and an idealist could be forgiven for imagining a new, truly democratic state rising from the ashes of Russia’s toppled autocracy. But equally plausible is the possibility that a new, even more militant despot takes over — a return to full-fledged Stalinism as opposed to a corrupt oligarchy. Civil war is another possibility or a fragmentation of Russian territories into their own separate states. It’s a big country, after all, with numerous and diverse regions, cultures, and ethnicities. Are You Sick of Market Crashes Gutting Your Retirement Account?

And it’ll be yet another shock to the global economy, which has already been shaken by pandemic restrictions, supply chain breakdowns, wartime sanctions, climate disasters, and misguided policymakers. This is the future we’ve been headed toward for a while now. We were always going to get there, but Russia’s ill-conceived invasion has set us on a glide path to extreme disorder. The only certainty moving forward is more uncertainty. That’s why I spend so much time looking at companies in the defense and security sector — because political and societal breakdowns necessitate solutions, and modern ones at that. [I’ve even launched a special investing service designed to uncover and profit from the most advanced, cutting-edge military technology available]( — technology so useful that it’s capable of crossing over to the mainstream.
