While the insane "Orange Emperor" harasses his own "allies," Russia strengthens cooperation with its own. Who will ultimately benefit? The answer is clear to anyone with half a brain.
Once the head of the snake (the deep state) has been dismembered or dies through gorging its self to death through printing money and derivative exploits, or is overturned by heroes that we may be seeing now, then true democracy will be restored for the people by the people. The next big change will not come from top down but bottom up. The only thing that keeps this charade going is confidence in the system, just like confidence in the dollar or at one time the pound. There is another way.
The current Ukrainian government is unconstitutional, but its "constitution" came about through a coup sponsored by the US, it's most visible agent being "fuck the EU" Nuland. Even in its origins after the ending of the USSR Ukraine came about through plotting and deception, deep corruption. The seeds sown, the fruit has been rotten from the beginning.
"The European Union and Russia would have been a powerful force if they had united. Of course, the Americans would never allow this to happen, as it would be too frightening for them, even more so than China."
And indeed until 2014 the EU was not in a bad shape, especially Germany, which benefited a lot by cheap Russian energy. It was the powerhouse of Europe (now it is being de-industrialized and at a fast pace too!). Of course, that was the worst nightmare for the Outlaw US Empire, something completely unacceptable for the neo-cons! That's why they were already planning to "change Europe's structure of energy", i.e. to stop the Nord Stream back then - listen to what Condoleezza Rice was saying in a 2014 interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF0uYIjaTNE
The Neocon/Wolfowitz/Neoliberal policy goal of dominating the world has failed, thus the wild desperation we see that Richard Wolff tirelessly observes. The reversal in global economic power from 2000 to 2020 is the basis for that failure. Neoliberal doctrine was the culprit, and there's no way to reverse it now as a vast amount of damage was inflicted on the Empire's socio-economic structure--the widely touted Service Economy now dominates forcing ever more people to use credit to get by and continue the Middle Class facade. There's a great deal of inertia within the Empire's economy, which will take another generation to unwind, although Trump's actions are accelerating the process. His wild yet futile waving of the Big Stick further backs him into his custom designed corner from which there's no face-saving escape.
"Many observers are puzzled by the dismal economic performance in Europe - which is not getting better, although a new rearmament program may create the illusion of growth. It is argued here that there is a link to the puzzling period of two lost decades of stagnation in Japan, which also created world record national debt for an industrialised country. The analysis goes back to first principles: Only if we understand how economies actually function will we be able to tackle such questions and make reliable forecasts about the future."
Degrowth prescribed for Japan, now exported to Europe.

Thank you Putin & Lukashenko for 'deracinating' the strengths & crises challenges of our time.
My wish is that any & all leaders could go as deep as Petr Kropotkin ('Mutual-Aid, a factor of evolution' 1915) went in celebrating the ancient wisdom of Russia, Europe & Siberia's First Nations before & during the ongoing extractive, exploitive Babylonian & Phoenician colonial assault on abundantly productive biosphere-based sustainable & peaceful peoples.
1) While I agree with Putin about the need for private sober negotiations, there is also the need for public wisdom accord & participation. Hence pairing 'behind-closed-doors' with open public formal 'Both-sides-now, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogues' enables such as Putin & bluster-full Trump to, at first sit down together, yet next both expose their dialogue logics, heart & data for public scrutiny not in separate monologues but in dialogue.
This ancient 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') COUNCIL-PROCESS 'dialectic' model should be part of public life in every individual & collective relationship, with every person having the right to raise issues in our day-to-day lives by which, she or he are affected. Formal Dialogues or Dialectics mimic the functioning of the human mind. Both eyes for example see in 2-dimensions, but the images are joined in the Neural Cortex for their differences in order to construct a 3-D working model of the world we live & act in. All senses of Smell, Hearing & Kinetic body movement from our 2 arms, legs & sides add 'dialectic' ('both-sided') dimensions to the world we perceive. When people are recorded & held responsible for what they say, reputation is put out into the public & hence becomes more collaborative & engaging. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues
2) SOVEREIGNTY Mayer Amschel Rothschild 1744 to 1812, kindly warned us all publicly, "Permit me to issue the currency of a nation & I care not who makes its laws", combined personally with "It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it", attributed to Upton Sinclair. For 400 years the United States was first Oligarch financed, then invaded, genocided & colonized to create these conditions of Oligarch control. My own family roots include a cousin Judah who financed George Washington some 250,000$ in ~1775 essentially to accelerate the Oligarch-controlled genocide of 1st Nations.
With fake 'money' (Greek 'mnemosis' = 'memory') & violent Oligarchy ('oli' = 'few' + 'archy' = 'rule-of') genociding humanity & destroying the biosphere, all so they can fulfill their Jetson (1970-80s cartoon) vision of living in bubbles on lifeless planets, peoples-unity is crucial.
BOTTOM-UP SOVEREIGNTY It’s not enough to analyze, protest, lobby & bitch. Its inevitably productive to implement Circular Relational Economy among ourselves, families & communities. We already have the power among us all as bequeathed by all humanity's ancestral 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') practice of organizing CIRCULAR-ECONOMY in the intimate, intergenerational, female-male, interdisciplinary, critical-mass, economies-of-scale of the ~100 (50-150) person Multihome-Dwelling-Complex (eg. Apartment, Townhouse & Village) architecture where 70% of people live today. Https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy
3) Bringing 'ECONOMY' (Greek 'oikos' = 'home' + 'namein' = 'care-&-nurture') back to the essential collective Domestic-labours (mostly women) with industry & commerce (mostly men) as subset supportive. 20% of Multihome-dwellers are extended families, living intentionally in proximity for social & economic collaboration. These extended-family & friend information hubs as intimate, intergenerational, female-male, interdisciplinary, Critical-mass, Economies-of-scale communities, have the lowest drugs, alcohol uptake per-capita as-well-as some of the highest social-interaction & business creation rates, because of natural complementary intergenerational mutual-aid & knowledge sharing. Extended-families are the largest Community & health service provider everywhere, providing some 2 trillion dollars/year on Turtle-Island (N. America) /year of the most appropriate caring, sharing, food, shelter, clothing, warmth & health services typically based in plant-based medicines & life-style healing, albeit unrecognized by government, institutions & education. Local Multihome-Dwelling-Complex (eg. Apartment, Townhouse & Village) neighbourhoods where 70% of people live today for valorizing the incredible work, which intimate, inter-generational, female-male, interdisciplinary extended families perform in these Critical-mass, Economies-of-Scale. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy/1-extending-our-welcome-participatory-multihome-cohousing
4) WORLDWIDE INDIGENOUS ECONOMIC-DEMOCRACY & subset political systems. Economic Democracy in the ~100 (50-150) person Multihome-Dwelling-Complex (eg. Longhouse-apartment, Pueblo-townhouse & Kanata-village), specialized Production-Society-Guilds & time-based equivalency-accounting on the String-shell Value System (eg. Wampum on Turtle-Island, Quipu in S. America & Cowrie in indigenous Celtic-Slavic Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia & all islands). STRING-SHELL integrates real: a) 'Capital' (L 'cap' = 'head' = 'collective-intelligence'), b) 'Currency' ('current' = 'flow') between earning, spending, owning, care, computation etc. from the bottom-up. c) 'Condolence' ('social-security for health, injury, illness, handicap, healing, age, etc.), d) Collegial mentored-apprentice 'education' (L 'educare' = 'to-lead-forth-from-within') Credit, e) time-math Communication, f) Costume for identification of essential-service expertise etc. Https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy/2-participatory-accountingHttps://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy/8-economic-democracy
One can be surprised how far one can lower one’s expectations to feel happy.
Was waiting. to hear about the two’s pilgrimage.
Children’s survival , well being , play an immense role in the State Policy is seen .Timing without the rush of events in reasoning is different than the Orange
Once the head of the snake (the deep state) has been dismembered or dies through gorging its self to death through printing money and derivative exploits, or is overturned by heroes that we may be seeing now, then true democracy will be restored for the people by the people. The next big change will not come from top down but bottom up. The only thing that keeps this charade going is confidence in the system, just like confidence in the dollar or at one time the pound. There is another way.
"rooting out" and "eradicate" mean exactly the same, at least in historical view, as the latter comes from Latin "ex-radix" + verbal ending "are" meaning "out-root-ing". With your Spanish background (native speaker?) you are probably aware of.
Fascinating discussion! I, too, was struck by the reference to Chasov Yar and on to Kramatorsk. I learned some time ago that Kramatorsk was the beginning of the rebellion against the coup government in Kyiv, and for Russians, "It is ours."
I have been wondering if Trump is getting too old and overwhelmed by driving the clown car as he used to. Many of his policy responses are ad hoc making him a TACO.
Hi, not sure if you are aware of this eye opener. It shows the massive hidden finances of US and probably all at least western contries. It is a 2 houe video but the first 5 minutes reveal the op.
Its an old youtube video but the link wont open on youtube but on your, or at least my search bar.
I watched the first 6 minutes and need to more carefully watch the entire show. I should have an opportunity next week to do so given my travel and personal business.
A beautiful, insightful dialogue between intelligent men who keep their wits about them, while expressing regret and honor for the fallen soldiers on both sides. They also remind their audience that Russia did not instigate this conflict.
A few months before the SMO, blissfully unaware of the horrifying event that would pit Slavic people against eachother, I had the sudden, lucid thought: Germany and Russia ought to be friends. That would be best for everyone. It was before Nordstream.
The "recruitment" is entering the last phase; with mothers getting killed for protecting their sons, and conscripts dying of TBI from torture. And the EU seems fine with that, and keeps selling weapons to one of the most corrupt countries in Europe (before the war, even in MSM, now: zilch).
I believe it was Rand Paul who introduced legislation for Ukraine weapons audit. Which went nowhere, but UKR weapons are ending up all over the world. How did UKR manage, amidst the state of war, to coordinate terror attacks in Africa? They do not seem the smartest military leadership, so it must be NATO, ISR and non-UKR intelligence.
It is a pity the propaganda is even worst than post 9/11, and the European population seems brainwashed. Even after the plandemic lies! Luckily we have Karl's indepth analysis and others who dig up the truth. The tide is turning, but I cannot forgive UKR 'leadership' for not paying disabilty or death benefits by recently declaring 6000 returned soldier's bodies as 'deserters,' while Zelensky and Co buy villas. Inhumane.
A catostrophe for their families, and for the survivors who suffer lifelong disabilities. As someone who is severely disabled, my heart aches for them, especially since this was an avoidable war. Donbas suffered 14000 casualties since 2014. TPTB surely know that and still added a million KIA amd WIA. Keep up the great work, Karl! We cannot let the MIC win.
What more can be said about Trump the immature, ignorant fool that hasn't already been said? I'll say exactly what I believe he is, he's a Coward. He's a typical mega mouthed Coward. He will do what all Cowards do when faced with someone with a lot more courage & self awareness than he could ever have. He is a pathetic excuse of a man with very low self esteem. He has to constantly reassure himself with boasts about fantasies. Falsehoods & fantasy is the World he lives in. Perception is above all fact & truth. Reality isnt something he deals in. He's digging the hole deeper & deeper for himself. Every passing day, he has no plan, he's not capable to form one. I pity those around him, none dare tell him the emperor has no clothes. Cowardice must be infectious in the Whitehouse.

I’ve been musing about the need to restructure society and its institutions to attain the goals of people centered development.
If you wantt to know the way foreward have a look at bahai.org for the philosophy. Its the message not the messinger.

Children’s survival versus what’s happening in Gaza was the underlying theme and was talked about at the end of the Judge Nap chat.
“lobbying is corruption” - bullseye.
Lukashenko seems incoherent at times, as if he doesn't quite know what he was thinking.
His diction’s been odd for years and is worsened via translation.
hopefully he didn't take the real version of the experimental shots.

"India Will Buy Russian Oil Despite Trump’s Threats, Officials Say
There is a growing sense in India that its leaders should not allow American policymaking to shape its choices on vital energy supplies."
The New York Times, a media outlet not at all suspected of being "pro-Russian," reports.
