Talk of “reform” or “voting” isn’t enough for me, any longer. We need an American citizen centered, NON-WOKE, anarcho-socialist movement in the United States. A revolutionary movement willing to strike on a massive, nation-wide level when opposing policies not friendly to American citizens and PERMENENT JOBS at a LIVING WAGE with fully paid healthcare and pensions FOR LIFE and opposing policies that fund the war budget and wars abroad.
We need a revolutionary, non-woke anarcho-syndacalist movement that only benefits AMERICAN CITIZENS now.
The scamdemic and the clot shot rollout showed us that we can't rely on the vast majority of fellow citizens. The sheep wouldn't know solidarity if it bit them on their butts.
They actually ask for more tyranny, more totalitarianism.
Ask your grandparents whether they wanted the dustbowl emigration to California to continue for another generation as at least 50 years of depression will be necessary to achieve US
self sufficiency if then as 100years cities were babies compared with today's cities.
The Kool-aid faucet line remains unbroken despite best evidence the faucet is an ongoing Pavlovian conditioned experiment...yet they line up for toxic sludge unabated.
At least it's clear who's hands are where, like Kali there seems so many and so grabby
a very fine article and encapsulation karl.. thanks! dmitri trenins words are solid and very relevant to read as well, as they are a 'no bullshit' analysis of the reality as it presently stands..
It appears everyone who is engaged watching/commenting as global events unfold are reaching a general consensus as to reason(s), objectives and operational theaters.
Gone are the contested narratives of who did what to whom (eg unprovoked attack, etc), what parties are to blame, and other irrelevant misdirections that entirely miss the point.
Now that the truth is finally out in the open, that is, the USA/West wants to rule the world, the dollar system must possess Russia's natural resources, and it must control China's productive output to continue its current exorbitant privilege, the only thing left to do is actually play the game.
This is where the nature of conversations among the intelligencia should be focusing. No more grand revelations, breathless exposes, exciting developments; yeah, we all know what's going down.
The real question is who will win - that variable is still unknown, regardless of current battlefield events. We are far, far away from deployment of all kinds of new and interesting novel weapons systems, many of which fall outside of the traditional kinetic variety.
As this essay remarked, WW3 will continue well past Ukraine.
Russia’s best offense and defense is steeling the Arc of Instability which is the Eurasian perimeter. Beyond that is helping African development as China’s doing.
Trump's not happy because the tanning salon has screwed up his complexion or maybe it's due to the new meds he's been prescribed. His wife never a seam or hair out of place must love money and power.
How can he be so thin-skinned, he's filed bankruptcy several times? For us mere mortals filing bankruptcy just once would be embarrassing, an admission of failure (OK maybe young and daft or an economic depression one could make excuses ), twice, thrice and again and again, signifies a financial trainwreck, and yet, he's been placed in charge of the 2nd biggest economy in the world, paper economy that is.
The above illustrates that he's been the recipient of several bailouts. You see if you owe the bank the value of your assets you're screwed, ten times this figure and they're screwed and so the bailouts suit everyone involved, possibly the smaller investors not so much who'll recover 10 cents on the $1 if they're fortunate.
Now I coined the term Trumpelthinskin on Zero-Hedge around a decade ago at the beginning of his 1st term. A take on Jacob Grimm's book where the leprechaun Rumpelstiltskin turned straw into gold, Trump turns gold into straw; not to be confused with the gold-plated tungsten in Fort Knox which neither Trump nor Musk after much fanfare of an Audit just 'crickets'.
Putin on the other hand is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. The Western Banking Houses have confiscated $300 Billion of Russia's Sovereign Wealth Fund, in itself a Declaration of War. Anyone who knows Russians would know they're the last people on earth that you steal from unless you choose to live in an Amazonian cave and don't have a paper trail.
He's unwilling to kill civilians on an industrial scale, impacting his legacy as the 21st Century's Greatest Statesman, unlike the Americans who kill and maim gratuitously, otherwise, he could issue an ultimatum tomorrow for the return of the $300 Billion (plus interest) within 72 hours or else and those lily-livered bastards would return it, probably within 24 hours.
Let's hope Medvedev/Other will do so as this need not be a Long War.
SUMMARY
Putin has all the cards so will be happy despite his blood sacrifice.
Trump will be happy (despite his complexion) because he's a retard with money and perceived power.
Trump is just more of the same with a deceptive line to shade the strategy! Trump boasted about sending more arms to Ukraine than Obama! Then he said "the war would not have started... but Biden".
The truth of Trump not starting the war is even he knew EU/NATO/US was not ready!!
The truth of his ceasefire gambit is to buy time, as if US and EU can meet production levels of Russian Federation and China.
Trump is blithely running into the Thucydides trap, with all the showman maskirovka he and the western propaganda machine can muster.
Project Kiev is to bust up Russian and then go after China from the west and north east.
Project Tel Aviv is to gut Iran, then subdue/compromise Pakistan and engage India against China form south.
US had a very large aerospace (they even let the Navy in) presence in the Tel Aviv operational set Their use and presence is because Iran has no nuclear weapons. Such aerospace is unavailable to the Kiev operational set because Russian Federation would execute the resources, with nukes if necessary..
Of course, Trump is unhappy his negotiating adversaries know his plans. Know his honesty!
''I have only one answer: the ancien regime that’s now located in North America with a branch office in London''... it may serve but it WON'T BENEFIT the regime now located in North America...!!!!
Can anyone provide me a logical reason/explanation as to why Putin and Xi don't immediately put a stop on enriched uranium and rare-earth metals/minerals deliveries to the God forsaken country of America??????
In doing so they'd cripple strategic industries within months.
Yip I'm not asking Russia or China to put a stop on any other sales such as AGO/Diesel or any other product, just those two.
I feel/fear we're ALL being suckered!!!!
On a personal note I need your help -
Last night I fell asleep having consumed only half a can/tin of beer and upon waking this morning the remainder has gone flat due to the current heatwave. I cant sleep with the Aircon on as it affects my sinuses.
Now other than beer-batter does anyone have a recipe through which I can salvage the half tin as it's fomenting great anxiety?
Just as a point of interest Karl the gut feelings I had on the new Iranian President are proving to be correct. The 5th Column in any country are the biggest danger to stability.
There's a 25 minute podcast with an Iranian Ehsan Safarnejad in the know on Rachael Blevins, 2 days ago that's worth a watch. Seems Pezeshkian has surrounded himself with Liberals as well as receiving an endorsed letter signed by 180 professors/academics encouraging stronger western ties/negotiations despite being sat at the table and still being bombed. IRGC too influential etc etc
Marandi has exposed that issue and notes Pezeshkian has sidelined himself as the IRGC and Khamenei are now in control and the national sentiment is with them, not the liberals.
I appreciate Marandi's combative, accusatory bluster, and his refusal to ever acknowledge any criticism of his employer. If things go south there, magaworld would love to have him.
It's a matter of keeping your friends close and your enemies even closer. All 3 Russia,China, Iran continue to keep dialogue going as it causes no harm, while in the background the military, intelligence agencies are busy at work keeping tabs on the empire.
Russia continues to test new weapons out in Ukraine, Iran for the most part kept the empires aircraft away from Tehran, and China has built a train that travels at 620 mph, plus missiles that can make extreme turns while traveling at 20 times the speed of sound. America has only treachery dollar and narrative and all 3 are rapidly falling apart.
A shot of whisky should help with sleeping.
My second summer in London I bought a Jag with no a/c, all my friends never let me forget and as you see I haven't -g-
That’s KPH. I opined some months ago about the possibility of hypersonic aircraft that would be unmanned of course. Quite likely they would be terrestrial and orbital craft. The next head scratcher is mag-lev and/or anti-gravity propulsion. And beyond that, the warping of the space-time continuum.
Thanks for the correction. It does appear as if the Chinese along with the Russians are right on the verge of it all, with Iran being a step behind, while the collective west is in nowhere's ville.
Gold was up $50 today while the treasuries took a hit. The Axis, Russia, China, Iran do not want a war to end hegemony what they want is the Osama Bin Laden scenario which the CW continues to do with glee
After contemplating the various current events, relating them to each other, and putting them into context, we must place them on the horizon. The horizon is not made of evanescent tweets or ridiculous commercials, like the one made by the US Secretary of Defense in front of the Pentagon displaying toy drones. The outlaw US empire is packing up its things and leaving the Hegemony office. Any sensible and informed person will reach the same conclusion: Alea jacta est.
Also many reasons for us to be disappointed, and I am sure not only us but many world citizens, for all different reasons. Anyway I will not elaborate because it would be unfair not to list all and there are many, including China and Brazil. I only say what a farce they supply materials to enemies trying to destroy us. They are all vampires.
Long ago a song was written called “Lola” that described the state of the world then that very much remains the same today. Another from the same time period said: “I want to change the world, but I don’t know what to do.” Musicians and poets have long been the best at describing our problems.
I said recently at Alabama moon, your article is published, well we have only 2 allies, Belarus and DPRK. Can you imagine Comrade Kim shaking his head like me and you at some things, like accepting insults and sanctions and continuing selling UO2 pellets and titanium. We need a poet or songwriter to stylize those words!
Levers of war and levers of peace; sometimes they are both the same. When and how to employ them is up to the master strategists. It would be good to know their minds, but we are left with coffee grounds as Lavrov says. The final Q&A at his presser today is critical. https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/2035561/
Well yes there is a lot to say about that, but you will probably publish this next, so it is a shame to spoil it. Although just this. I am sorry for the people of Germany, I only say this because it is adequate behaviour, but in reality it is very obvious that like their allies from England a very large majority support the governments aspirations to greatness through death of innocents. Therefore, and again I say as an adequate person that I hope not, but if and we must I will not regret destroying all of them. Ours unfortunately did not last time and as they said many times themselves, that was a mistake. We must not repeat.
It would be great if we could put all the uncivilized into one corner and allow the civilized full reign of the rest of the planet. I have no faith in any supernatural intervention, so we’ll have to solve this problem ourselves.
A barfly says Kommersant is opposition media; what's your opinion?
It's WWIII but not as we were sold it, at least so far. Keeping the loser's hand away from the big red button is the trick. How so? The west (US) lost the arms race so it's dependent on economic warfare, terrorism, and subversion. Now the Euro (and Scandi) lackeys must decide if they can continue to prairie dog their provocations - germanic bombast suggests they'll end up getting punched in the face hard with no prospect of real US backstop. The combined west is looking at a one way trip to a dystopic orwellian rulership that will collapse into ... warlordism, a disunited mess of criminality on Russia's borderlands, bring to life the term eurotrash. As for the Pacific outposts, the wind will blow and it will be a refocusing as in 1942 but with no daddy in sight.
Thanks for not just finding that tweet but linking to it! I agree 100% with the author’s words, and his reminder about the falsity of that settlement and the refusal of the Empire to honor what it agreed to regarding reparations and return of POWs. There’s a little-known story/truth behind those POW/MIA flags that once flew across the nation—repatriation of US POWs was contingent on US paying billions is reparations to Vietnam; the reparations were never made, so the POWs were never repatriated.
Talk of “reform” or “voting” isn’t enough for me, any longer. We need an American citizen centered, NON-WOKE, anarcho-socialist movement in the United States. A revolutionary movement willing to strike on a massive, nation-wide level when opposing policies not friendly to American citizens and PERMENENT JOBS at a LIVING WAGE with fully paid healthcare and pensions FOR LIFE and opposing policies that fund the war budget and wars abroad.
We need a revolutionary, non-woke anarcho-syndacalist movement that only benefits AMERICAN CITIZENS now.
And no billionaires allowed.
You’re alright Karl Sanchez.
The scamdemic and the clot shot rollout showed us that we can't rely on the vast majority of fellow citizens. The sheep wouldn't know solidarity if it bit them on their butts.
They actually ask for more tyranny, more totalitarianism.
We’re about to see. The really hard times haven’t hit yet.
Ask your grandparents whether they wanted the dustbowl emigration to California to continue for another generation as at least 50 years of depression will be necessary to achieve US
self sufficiency if then as 100years cities were babies compared with today's cities.

Excellent writing, your efforts are much appreciated Karl
Well Karl, you could just as easily have written what Trenin wrote .... and have been doing so for quite some time!
Big Picture.
Thanks. It does help to be corroborated. RT did publish a good article about the Rio Summit, although IMO the title is over the top, https://www.rt.com/news/621315-brics-in-rio-global-power/

At the risk of being insensitive, it's very much like (American) football.
Each side has its strengths & weaknesses, the film on each team has been well studied.
Nothing left to do but play the game.

Mix it into a bread batter or other baking medium.
On your other question, China has curtailed processed rare earth exports, while Russia keeps the enriched uranium as leverage.

Good question on who does the War serve but I think it doesn't belong to any place.
The ancient regime is 10,000 years by my reckoning on plundering and pillaging as a life choice.
We have changed through our inventions and ancien is simply repeating the same answer to a vastly different human constructed world .
Call it an extinction moment of the psyche.
A long psychic war where millions have already died in vain.
This is a bit OT but then when you think about it it fits right in as in
