Thanks Karl good to see the rise and rise of information flowing from the Kremlin in english.

Gymnasts and gymflies might appreciate Putins presser for his homeland journalists here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVU8kbdnvNg

It is a brief 30 minutes of clarity courtesy Professor Michael Rossi Poli Sci at utoob.

These pressers are excellent antidotes to the idiot propaganda BS from the western orifice. Note the correction of the fanatical hysteria we are fed regarding the North Korean agreement.

Biden refuses to talk to Putin. Blinken refuses to talk to Lavrov. But both the president and the secretary of state have no problem in holding frequent meetings with two criminals like Netanyahu and Zelensky. That gives us the measure of how far the American establishment has fallen.

that is really true! they act like very immature school kids on the playground, when they are supposed to be acting like adults who represent a civilized country.. they behave just the opposite..

lavrov is a brilliant and extremely articulate speaker..

regarding who pays for isis in afganistan - it would be great to find concrete information regarding the usa's role in supporting isis.. there has been some tangental examples, but nothing foolproof as i understand it... of course they are a product of the usa/uk intel agencies, just like the white helmets in syria were, but until we have something very concrete and foolproof, it is unconvincing to the man on the street to say this..

Tulsi Gabbard unearthed many facts to support her proposed Stop Financing Terrorism bill in the House, but they were swept under the carpet by the usual suspects. Others have been more precise in their accusations with Obama being singled out. Most studies of US Terrorism are done by those outside the Empire and published in languages other than English, although there are a few exceptions. The development of Arab terrorists to undermine the Ottoman Turks is fairly well documented, and there are other examples from British colonial rule of South Asia and Africa.

thanks karl.. it is ironic that the usa excels at labeling who the terrorists are, but are unable or unwilling to acknowledge their own role in cultivating terrorism in service to 21st century colonialism.... it is becoming very superficial and more people can see thru it..

If the USA is to continue to be a modern state, it needs to radically reorganize its political-economy away from rent seeking and back to modernizing itself via industrial innovation based on massive investments that aren't and haven't been made since 1980, or even earlier. As I've stressed for years now, the Outlaw US Empire's ruling elite are addicted to pleonexia and the megalomania that accompanies it. Very soon the tribute system based on Dollar Hegemony will cease as that form of control withers away thanks to the elite's own actions. The Global Majority is moving onward into the 21st Century while the USA continues to operate as if it's the late 19th Century and that Manifest Destiny will somehow solve all its problems. Reliance on a myth and the inability--unwillingness--to plan for the long haul will cause the USA to rapidly sink to the second tier of nations, which has already occurred in some regions.

I believe that some commentators, such as Professor Michael Hudson, have expressed the opinion that it will be almost impossible for the US economy to be re-industrialised. That's if the elites can even be persuaded to do so. Maybe third tier would be the destination.

Yes, Dr. Hudson has said so with the caveat that the entire ruling structure of the USG would need to be revamped, something very unlikely in the short term but possible at some future point. A very large If.

lavrov may be tired, but he has lost none of his ability to be very articulate and precise when describing what is happening on the world stage at present.. now, whether anyone in the west is curious or listening is another matter...
