The billionaire predicts a revolution in China and the destruction of civilization due to climate change
A Ukrainian victory in the war with Russia would lead to the collapse of the Russian Empire. This was announced by billionaire George Soros at the opening of the Munich Security Conference. In his speech, the Hungarian-born investor added that the US will support Kiev, but Joe Biden has warned Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky that there are limits to what he is willing to do. Soros did not reveal the source of the information about the American president’s words.
“A third world war must be avoided at all costs and Europe’s support for Ukraine must be maintained,” the billionaire believes.
According to him, the Russian army is poorly led, poorly equipped and demoralized, which is why Vladimir Putin turned to the mercenary group “Wagner” to deter the Ukrainian forces.
“The move worked. With the help of prisoners, “Wagner” began to gain territory. “Ukraine faced a strategic choice: to wallow in the detention of “Wagner” or to allow Russia a propaganda victory and preserve its limited resources for a counterattack,” Soros noted.
The philanthropist noted as true the warnings of the President of Moldova, Maya Sandu, that
The Kremlin may be planning an upcoming coup d’état
against her country and also warned that this threat “could be carried out before the anniversary” of the start of the war in Ukraine on February 24.
“The countries of the former Soviet Union are eager to see the Russians defeated in Ukraine because they want to assert their independence. This means that a Ukrainian victory will lead to the collapse of the Russian Empire.
Russia will no longer pose a threat to Europe and the world
That would be a big change for the better. It would bring enormous relief to open societies and create enormous problems for closed ones,” Soros is convinced.
In his speech, the billionaire also spoke about Recep Erdogan, who was actively associated with both sides of the Ukrainian war and established himself as a neutral mediator between them. But the Turkish president has also moved closer to Putin to make his country a distribution hub for Russian oil, which will give him the cash he needs for the May election. According to the billionaire, Erdogan has become more autocratic by trying to jail his biggest opponent, the mayor of Istanbul, and ban Kurds from voting.
“But it will not be able to break the tradition that allows political parties to control the counting of votes. This will make it difficult to falsify the results,” predicted the billionaire.
On China, he argued that President Xi Jinping’s “zero COVID” strategy has shaken confidence in the Communist Party.
“The current situation fulfills all the prerequisites for regime change or revolution. But this is only the beginning of an opaque process, the repercussions of which will be felt over a longer period of time,” Soros predicts. He believes that in the short term, Jingping is likely to remain in power as he firmly controls all the instruments of repression in his country.
“But I am convinced that Xi will not remain in office for life, and while in office, China will not become the dominant military and political power that it aspires to be,” Soros summed up.
In his speech, the billionaire revealed that he fears for the future of humanity unless more radical measures are taken to tackle climate change. He supported the idea of using experimental geosolar technologies to protect the Arctic from melting glaciers.
“The Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet
will raise ocean levels by seven meters
It poses a threat to the survival of our civilization. Current efforts to contain rising temperatures are failing, and the planet is increasingly at risk of reaching a tipping point. Our civilization will be completely destroyed by rising temperatures that will make large parts of the world virtually uninhabitable,” Soros said. According to him, the world needs to reorient the international financial institutions, especially the World Bank, to focus on climate change.
