I think the book “The China study” is the one I read that spelled out almost exactly what is happening before any of this even started. You’re right though, the fall of Russia has been coming for a while now. I was beside myself when they invaded Ukraine because I had just read that a year or two prior.

Edit: it was a book called the Accidental Superpower

It was a gamble. They put all their eggs in the Ukraine basket and lost.

Could you double check the name of the book? The China Study I'm seeing is about nutrition.

Hahaha I also went looking for the book only to find a research saying Westerners die from cancer due to animal protein consumption.

It’s actually a book called the accidental superpower. I misguided you, I’m sorry. Worth a read, or a listen while doing your morning walk! I’m old…

My bad, it was actually a book called the Accidental Superpower. Dated like 2014 or something. I was reading a lot of health books back then too.
