Generally dollar debt is secured with threat of US navy. It is cheaper to buy coast defense K-300P Bastion and P-800 Oniks, tell them no, default.

Countries know they are trapped for generations but are not willing to do anything about it, complain a lot about fairness and international law, continue suffering right? Until when? Scary to die free? Lot of questions rhetorical, because really...

By the way I believe Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov is not happy to negotiate with Americans, body language, expression of face talks.

Yes, the Empire once used its navy and marines to enforce its contracts. Today is somewhat different. You on same page as Dr. Hudson, myself, and many others who advocate default or at minimum making the loans payable in the nation’s own currency, not dollars or euros. We emphasize it must be done collectively, and many loans are clearly odious and shouldn’t be repaid. As for Mr. Lavrov’s body language, it would help if there was a video of the talks. It’s possible he was fatigued as his schedule’s been very demanding.

Burkina Faso, paid off its debt and is now refining its own gold, ridding itself of the CIFA Slave Franc among a myriad of other projects, agriculture.

Carrefour and the rest of the French cockroaches who bled West Africa dry are feeling the pain, especially in Niger.

Agree, but in fact I will go further with extreme measures. Expel foreign corporations, western parasite in nature, from the areas they generally occupy and extract steal the nations sovereign wealth. Of course by force, only the army and navy should be the allies of any country and if she has neither then it is time to get at least the army. For a long time they have said to us, suitcase station Russia. So I do not agree but for global majority this is the way to deal with US and western bandits. It is nonsense talk to continually refer to international law and charter of UN and no action. They are not listening! As you say collectively do this. US cannot respond to everyone at the same time.

Of course it will not happen, only a minority have and will because corruption and cowardice is all inside the global majority.

Yes, justice will be hard to obtain but it must be strived for. My writings and position at today’s MoA thread are all about that and related issues. The declining US Empire will remain dangerous until it finally accepts the fact that it’s no longer the boss. Portions of its political class still want to wage war on China which the Empire will lose more badly than its loss in Ukraine. China and Russia have both publicly stated that there’ will be no Yalta 2.0 with the reinstatement of spheres of influence, Wang Yi most forcefully at Munich, but Lavrov as well at the G-20. The great Narrative change to It’s All Zelensky’s Fault needs to be seen as yet another BigLie to absolve Outlaw US Empire guilt.

US battles their former allies in the fake media, there is a lot of theater. It is entertaining to look at. I agree with your moa comments. With every word spoken President Trump continues to expose the evil of US imperialism. In the first presidential term he did it and nothing changed, although many do not see or forgot. He definitely wants to exit the conflict with us and begin the next with China. US cannot win and she does not have to, because she has nothing to lose. The empire is dying. Disruption of peaceful China is the goal, and nobody knows how this type of event evolves. Uyghur terrorists in Syria, there are always many variables, so maybe she can save herself at the expense of China. Time shows us everything.

Looks like it was a pleasant Spring day for the ceremony. The Honor Guards looked prouder than usual.
