I have come to believe that anything is possible. Look at how a large fraction of the population is being pulled into anti-Russian hysteria by politicians, the War Industries, and their stenographers in the mass media.
But let's back up a step from today's crisis, the war in Ukraine. The recent behavior of the Ottawa government was frightening, particularly because it set a precedent for more frequent and more totalitarian controls based on pseudo-emergencies.
The trucker protests showed that the Covid era has left the peasant masses angry and fed-up. If the peasants can push back in Canada, they can push back anywhere.
This must be disturbing to the global Elites. They are just getting started. Now that a dress rehearsal has been completed in Canada successfully, they would like to move on. But they would be wise to pause and regroup.
That is where the anti-Russian and anti-Putin hysteria comes in. It allows the peasant masses to blow off steam in an orgy of anger, which is not directed at the all-powerful politicians and bureaucrats who are destroying the peasants' lives, standard of living, way of life, life savings, national histories, or even their biological identities.
Therefore, after a nice healthy catharsis for the peasants, the Elites can go to their next step, using the excuse of a new virus variant, a new eruption of 'domestic terrorists', or the climate change crisis.

So far it has managed to convince the EU to impose sanctions that are the equivalent to "suicide by cop".
Now the stage is set for even more mandates, regulations, and all sorts of freedom restrictions in this 'Shining City On The Hill'. An indispensable country in the minds of the Elite and hated by almost all the world.
I do believe that this may be the spark that sets fire to the Fourth Turning.
