As indicated in the first two parts of this series on the war in Ukraine, this hideous war is no accident. It is not the spontaneous eruption of a border dispute or a reaction to some moral imperative to defend democracy. It is the latest move in a long campaign orchestrated by the US-led Western Globalist Establishment; the Deep State, oligarchs, multinational corporations, the MSM and strategic think tanks to cripple, dismantle, and control the Russian state and incorporate it into their nightmarish New World Order.
Behind all the humanitarian and protect freedom and democracy claptrap and media spin lies a brutal reality: the West wants regime change in Russia and has long been engaged in economic and proxy warfare, using globalist infrastructure, to achieve its goals. At stake is not just geopolitical control but also control over one of the richest seams of natural resources on the planet. In this third part of No War With Russia we examine the economic war that is an essential part of the assault on Russian sovereignty.
For decades, ‘elite’ institutions like BlackRock, Cargill, the RAND Corporation, and ideologues in the legacy of Zbigniew Brzezinski, have crafted and executed a vision in which Russia is not an independent power but a vassal state, carved up and integrated into a unipolar globalist world order and governed by global finance and technocratic elites, the famous New World Order, as epitomised by the WEF and the Davos Cabal.
This is not conspiracy. It is policy, calculated, deliberate, and increasingly aggressive. They see Russia as the last frontier of their globalist ambition. Its size and strength make it the ultimate prize for these sinister global power brokers. Russia is the largest country on Earth, spanning Eurasia, across eleven time zones, and bordering the Arctic, Pacific, and Europe. It is home to enormous energy reserves: the world's largest natural gas reserves and vast oil, coal, and uranium deposits. It is rich in timber, fresh water, rare earth minerals, and agricultural capacity. It is however, armed with nuclear weapons and has the industrial and scientific base, as well as the political will, to resist foreign control. In short, Russia is too big and too resource-rich to be ignored—and too independent to be tolerated.
Western globalist elites, who have already captured or destabilised much of the world, our own benighted country included, have set their sights on Russia as the last frontier. What they want is not democracy or peace, but access and control.
The strategy for dismantling Russian power was laid out clearly in Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 book The Grand Chessboard. As National Security Advisor to President Carter and a chief architect of U.S. Cold War policy, Brzezinski stated plainly “Eurasia is the chessboard on which the struggle for global primacy continues to be played.” And most importantly, “Russia is a black hole.”
Brzezinski believed that containing or breaking Russia was essential for maintaining American (now globalist) dominance. His vision included preventing the emergence of a strong Eurasian bloc (especially one led by Russia or in alliance with China), using Ukraine as a geopolitical wedge to undermine Russian influence and encouraging the fragmentation or ‘liberalisation’ of the Russian state to make it compliant with Western (now globalist) structures
This was not a warning. It was a blueprint, now in full execution.
The RAND Corporation, which operates as the Pentagon’s policy brain, has produced openly hostile documents detailing how to “unbalance” Russia through economic, political, and military pressure. In its 2019 report Overextending and Unbalancing Russia, RAND recommended:
- Pouring weapons into Ukraine to force Russia into military escalation;
- Expanding NATO to Russia’s borders to provoke a response;
- Encouraging regime change through internal dissent;
- Imposing sanctions to cripple Russian industry and isolate it financially.
None of this is secret. It's public strategy. The war in Ukraine is not the cause, it is the desired outcome of years of preparation and provocation.
The goal is clear: exhaust Russia economically, fracture it politically, and open the gates to Western corporate exploitation and globalist control.
No modern example of corporate exploitation is complete without its inevitable involvement, and no corporation exemplifies globalist opportunism like BlackRock, the $10 trillion asset management behemoth that has entrenched itself in every major financial system in the West.
In December 2022, BlackRock signed an agreement with the Ukrainian government to oversee post-war reconstruction investment. This wasn’t charity of course, it was neocolonialism cloaked in development language. BlackRock will help privatise and restructure Ukraine’s infrastructure, natural resources, and public assets, effectively turning the nation into a vassal market run by U.S. financial capital and deep state globalists.
Their next target? Russia—after the fall. If regime change can be achieved, BlackRock and others are poised to swoop in and divvy up Russia’s energy grids, mining operations, and industrial infrastructure. This is disaster capitalism, perfected and applied at the state level.
Cargill, one of the largest food conglomerates in the world, has long eyed Ukraine as a jewel of global agriculture. Ukraine’s black soil is among the most fertile in the world, and prior to 2022 it was one of the top global exporters of wheat, corn, and sunflower oil. Even amid war, Cargill has profited handsomely. Meanwhile, laws backed by Western lenders like the IMF have encouraged the sale of Ukrainian farmland to foreign entities, allowing multinational firms like Cargill to gain a stranglehold on global food production.
But Cargill’s ambitions extend to Russia as well. Before the sanctions, it was heavily invested in Russian agriculture and grain transport. The war, and the eventual weakening of the Russian state, opens the door to resource extraction and market capture on both sides.
The U.S. and EU imposed over 16,000 sanctions on Russia immediately after the war in Ukraine began, far more than were ever applied to countries like Iran or North Korea. These sanctions were not just punitive, they were strategic tools designed to induce economic collapse and popular revolt and included:
- Seizing $300 billion in Russian central bank reserves—state theft by any definition;
- Cutting Russia off from SWIFT, aiming to isolate it from global trade;
- Banning exports of vital technology, parts, and software to cripple industry;
- Freezing private assets and intimidating neutral countries from doing business.
Yet the effect has been mixed. Russia’s economy did not collapse, it adapted, forming new trade ties with China, India, and the Global South . But the message was clear: comply with Western dominance or be economically obliterated.
The ultimate goal of this campaign is not simply to “contain” Russia but to change it fundamentally. Western elites want a new Russian leadership, one that is friendly to NATO, open to corporate penetration, and integrated into the globalist financial order. Think Yeltsin 2.0, a weakened figurehead overseeing a plundered economy.
Through ‘NGOs’, media pressure, cyber warfare, and covert intelligence operations, the West is fuelling internal dissent and attempting to fracture Russian society. Worse, they are organising military strikes deep inside Russia with the aim of leading the Russian people to believe that the Putin regime cannot protect them. Liberal opposition figures are lionised in Western media not because of their ideals but because they serve the regime change narrative.
It’s the same playbook that was used in Libya, Iraq, Venezuela, and Syria. Destabilise, demonise, delegitimise, and then swoop in with "aid" and "investment" led by the very corporations and banks that fund the think tanks who designed the conflict.
So why Russia? Because Russia represents a barrier to global control. Unlike the EU, Russia refuses to surrender its sovereignty to supranational institutions. It has its own central bank, its own military doctrine, and its own resource wealth. Bringing Russia under control would allow Western globalists to monopolize the world energy supply, control Arctic shipping and resources, access vast mineral reserves for the green tech and AI revolutions, break the emerging Eurasian axis (Russia-China-Iran) and solidify the dominance of U.S.-led financial capitalism
It is not about Ukraine. Ukraine is the battlefield—Russia is the target.
The war against Russia is not about freedom. It is about control, of land, people, energy, and sovereignty. It is being waged not only by NATO and politicians, but by the corporate cartels of the West, by BlackRock, by Cargill, by the IMF and World Bank, by the unelected bureaucrats in London, Brussels and Washington.
It is a war to bring Russia into the fold of the globalist machine, to strip it of its independence, install a compliant regime, and carve it open for resource extraction under the banner of “rebuilding” and “democracy.”
And it is part of a broader strategy—one that will not stop at Russia. China is next. Iran after that. And then, perhaps, the internal dissenters of the West who refuse to bow to this new world order. In resisting, Russia, for all its disreputable regime’s faults, is standing up not only for its own sovereignty, but also for a multipolar future, where nations govern themselves, and where people—not corporations—decide their fate.
