Given the strength and vigilance of the adversary, the team wearing WHF initials, the PTX trio’s play (Putin–Trump–Xi) cannot be a simple, overt move that spectators can easily understand; for now, the crowd sees only the scoring. In handball there is a clever tactic, those of my generation learned it at school (before 1989, handball was compulsory PE), it’s called “THREE-PASS WITH SWITCHING PLACES.” Three attackers pass rapidly between themselves while switching positions to break down the opponent’s defense until a gap opens and one of them slips through to score.

After the start of the Ukrainian war, you first saw just the passing between Putin and Xi, who were waiting for the third player, Trump, to enter the field beginning January 2025. From that point on you noticed Putin starting to pass with the U.S. leader back in the White House, culminating in the crucial Alaska meeting between the two, which should have been followed by the announced Budapest meeting. To the disappointment of those who wanted a quick peace, procedures were abruptly halted, but the PTX trio still profited greatly. Why? Because during the few days when the Hungary meeting seemed certain, the disorder inside the WHF team allowed the opponents to read defensive strategies at decisive moments, a big tactical advantage. So the Putin–Trump line of attack was paused for the moment, as seen in the apparently belligerent statements between them, but simultaneously the entry of Xi Jinping onto the field is being arranged to replace Putin in the passing sequence with Trump.

Read the American’s remark two days ago, when he was praising the Chinese leader in front of NATO’s head, Mark Rutte, as evidence of this. He was signaling Xi’s great influence vis-à-vis Putin. Likewise interpret the alleged Chinese renunciation of Russian oil, and even India’s, a fake story circulated by Reuters (owned by the Rothschild-linked interests) and then mindlessly echoed by mainstream Western media. Of course such a thing is impossible and will not happen; the narrative’s function was to portray Russia temporarily as the loser and, above all, to smooth relations between the U.S. and China ahead of next week, when Trump and Xi will be in South Korea and their teams will have already negotiated the terms of a bilateral discussion.

Thus the play on the field and the geopolitical narrative shift abruptly. For a while the Ukrainian war and the Trump–Putin passes will drop from the center of the stage. Instead, the Taiwan conflict will be on the table, with the play focused on Xi and Trump, while Putin will be kept on the bench to prepare his re-entry in a subsequent phase, at which point the passes will likely run among all three PTX members: Putin, Trump and Xi.

What will the WHF team do in response? For now, they are delighted, like fools, by the simulated conflict between Putin and Trump. But clearly the forthcoming sequence of passes between the American and the Chinese will reveal further aspects of WHF’s strategy, which the clever observers of the PTX trio will interpret and use to recalibrate their own grand geopolitical game. The final result will be the imposition of a New World Order, one that will not exclude Western High Finance, but which will demote it: WHF will no longer sit in the driver’s seat nor in the front seats; it will be relegated to the back half of the bus, maybe even to the trailer. The main reason for this decline is precisely the ignition and escalation of the war: Western High Finance naively believed it could steer the war by financing it, neglecting the fact that military infrastructure and command are firmly in the hands of the political decision-makers of the PTX trio — Putin, Trump and Xi. And thus the old saying proves true once more: “He who sows the wind reaps the storm.”
