Personally I think Russia is what one would term as being the catalyst to force change for the globalist green agenda takeover. I remember reading one article about the infrastructure and transitioning taking place whereas the author said there was going to have be enforcers or something similar to that effect. In other words I think he was saying it was going to take more than just telling people this is what you are going to do and enforcement actions to get them to accept it.
At this point I don't see Russia giving back the providences they initially went after. I guess there is the slight possibility that now that they've taken out the majority hard right fighters (which I think they was an intended purpose or goal to start with), that takes huge mosquitos off the backs of those predominately Russian citizens who lived there whom the minority, the hard right fighters, were trying to stop the integration of a Russian majority influencing everything from schools to politics. Putin, if he is in on the globalist plans may very well settle for the rebuilding of the promised providences and getting China's market for it's transition to liquified natural gas. Like I stated it didn't state whether those providences were within or outside Russia's borders but Russia views them as part of Russia because of the majority of Russia citizens living there. So let's just say those who were engaged in the war between Russia and Ukraine prior to the invasion, the hard right, that getting rid of them was part of the agreement, that goal has pretty much been accomplished. Now they could move forward with a withdrawal, start the rebuilding, (green energy style at that), and as we see now, the elimination of pipelines that will no longer be needed because if, and like I said I have no seen this in writing, nor would they ever put it out there in writing, Russia has been guaranteed the China market in this transition it will be through LNG imports for the most part making the pipelines to Europe obsolete. I just don't think given our current situation you can underestimate anything right now, the people the world is dealing with are hardcore and set that they are going to get their way on this energy scheme.
