The lines aren't drawn between nations, they are drawn between energy conglomerates and Russia's MIC finally figured out that they can just bribe their way through the competition or co-opt them and give them shares... as is the case with John Podesta. Podesta didn't want a single payout, he wanted long term recompense and a lasting stake. Same thing with the Crown. Russia has been working the Clintons since the 80s, but it wasn't until the death of Edgar Bronfman that their plans culminated, escalated and rapidly became a reality. This means that the Jewish World Council lost a great deal of power with his death and we are probably looking at a lot of infighting over control of the blackmail material. It is organized crime. A lot of people have been tricked into thinking the mafia is the only organized crime, but they are just pawns. The type of infighting you'd expect from the mob is what is going on in the energy/mining racket. As of now, it does not look like there is a clear winner. But, the truth is, if the US got it's act together, it could actually spread democracy and stability all over the world... something that terrifies Israel, Russia and China. If the propaganda stopped and nuclear energy.. modern nuclear energy... not out dated Fukushima stuff... could generate power for the world at a fraction of a percent of the cost that exists currently. But, that means you would have the same type of tax farm TPTB have, now. Really, the social engineers at the top are keeping everyone from a life of health and leisure and their number one priority is not to get rich, but to keep everyone else as poor as possible.
