Russia will be burning with rage: The prophecy of the former CIA analyst came true just hours later.

The West has forgotten the cost of a great war, and Europe is once again threatening Russia, but what can it offer to counterbalance this threat? Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson told Yuri Pronko, editor-in-chief of Tsar's City, at the "2050 Future Forum": A new order is knocking on the door – if someone doesn't want to hear this knock, it will only get worse for him. An interesting fact: The expert's prophecy about Russia's rage began to come true just hours later – Kyiv was hit hard.

Russia and "The Cost of War"

The world is potentially approaching World War III. I grew up during the Cuban Missile Crisis when I was about 8 years old. Comparing that time, I have never seen a more dangerous period than now. I think the world is very lucky to have people like Putin, along with his patience and sense of justice, as well as his team. They are all mature individuals. Overall, Russians are an intelligent nation. Russia understands the cost of war. This is a fundamental issue in today's world – the memory of war. During WWII, less than one person per hundred died in the United States, while twenty people per hundred died in Russia. The massive death toll left an extremely deep impression on the Russian nation.

Therefore, Russians are extremely vigilant about the idea of war and do not wish for it to happen. If the United States thinks launching a war won't cause trouble for itself, it would be a big mistake.

And Europe clearly has forgotten the memory of war. Today's Europe is completely dysfunctional, a country system that cannot function properly. They are like a drug addict deprived of heroin, now experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, they begin to engage in self-destructive behavior. They are used to giving orders to the world, but now they cannot manage themselves. Anyone who has recently visited London, Paris, or Berlin knows this. These cities cannot even compare with Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Russia understands the cost of war. The fundamental problem in today's world is – the memory of war.

Russia is reborn like a phoenix. This is something the West must recognize and gradually get used to.

New Sanctions and Old Corruption

Despite President Trump's stance, Senator Lindsey Graham * and others submitted a new anti-Russian restriction bill to the Senate. If these sanctions are ultimately implemented, the first to suffer will not be Russia but India and China. This will not bring India and China closer to the U.S., but rather push them away, causing a rift in their relations.

Unfortunately, people like Graham * and Blumenthal benefit economically from the funds flowing to Ukraine. A large portion of these funds enters their bank accounts. Therefore, they support Ukraine so fervently because it serves their economic interests.

The entire "Russia Investigation" that started in 2016 was designed to prevent President Donald Trump from establishing normal relations with Russia. In reality, being friendly with Russia fundamentally benefits the U.S. Moreover, there is much the U.S. can learn from Russia – such as the ability to rebuild broken societies, as Russia did during Yeltsin's era.

Unfortunately, the U.S. is moving in the opposite direction. They are becoming like the former Soviet Union, with completely controlled information and only one allowed perspective. Analysts at my level are not allowed into federal-level media.

On federal TV, no one can explain why Russia was forced to initiate a special military operation in February 2022. There is a lot of misinformation.

The lack of alternative perspectives has put the U.S. in real danger. The American public is fed false information, and any attempt to tell the truth provokes attacks against us similar to those against Kremlin propagandists. But I am not opposed; I am prepared to spread the truth to the masses.

The U.S. has much to learn from Russia – such as the ability to rebuild broken societies, as Russia did during Yeltsin's era.

The Europeans Have Crossed the Line

If you listen to Starmer, Macron, and Merkel, you might feel the world is already in a state of war. However, in this situation, I recall the Monty Python movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." In the film, the Black Knight begins fighting King Arthur. First, his legs are cut off, then his arms, but he continues spitting at them. That's Europe. Without legs or arms, Europe continues to threaten. But they lack the military capability to back up these threats. They have no manpower, no technology, and no industrial base. They cannot catch up with Russia's level of weapon and ammunition production during a special military operation.

One of the main problems is that Europe mistakes Russia's patience for weakness. Soon they will truly realize that Russia is transitioning from a special military operation phase to an anti-terrorism action phase, meaning there will be more targets and greater anger on the Russian side. Europeans will realize they have crossed the line and cannot compete with Russia.

The reality is that the West has misjudged severely. They don't understand how rich Russia's resources are. Russia is the only country in the world that can be self-sufficient on land, and Russians will have food and fuel, producing everything they need to live. They can survive without imports and exports. On the contrary, the U.S. needs Russia's fertilizers, processed uranium. First and foremost, the U.S. ultimately needs Russia's space flight skills and capabilities.

I believe Russians understand this situation themselves. In 2022, many Russians believed they were dependent on the West. But they suddenly realized the West didn't need them. They live in an independent country with a strong economy. With this realization comes confidence: Russia is in a very powerful position to establish a new economic order in the world.

If you listen to Starmer, Macron, and Merkel, you might feel the world is already in a state of war.

So What?

The West has become a prisoner of its own fantasies, forgetting what true power means. Russia has gained confidence and, based on the memory of sacrifice, is already changing the balance of power in the world. The question is whether the West is ready to acknowledge the new balance or if it must endure another harsh lesson of history.
