KARL SANCHEZ—Most will have heard that POTUS Joe Biden has withdrawn as the D-Party POTUS candidate/nominee, but as the graphic suggests was he really “running the nation”, and what does that really entail anyway? General policy continuity has continued for over 40 years and will continue regardless Trump or Harris—even a Stein won’t be able to change much given the enormity of the task because Congress will still be hostile.

KARL SANCHEZ—As for China wanting to have the largest economy, with 1.4 Billion people, it ought to have the largest economy and already does if honest measures were taken. And if there’s to be a “World Leader,” that person ought to be the United Nations Secretary General, not some national politician. The Era of Great Powers is over and with it the Age of Plunder. Those who are incapable of evolving will be left behind as the world moves to the cooperative basis Nature will dictate that humans will need to adapt to.

KARL SANCHEZ—Ba Dinh Square with the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in back center where Putin participated in a wreath laying ceremony. The presidential mansion is the yellow building with red roof on the far right with Hanoi in the background. Other government buildings are located in the near vicinity. This is where Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam’s independence on 2 September 1945. Not included in the 89-image photo shoot was one of the Monument to the Fallen Heroes, although this description’s provided: “The main part of the memorial, more than 12 meters high, is made of white granite in the form of four adjacent arches with gilded vaults, oriented to the sides light.” Putin laid a wreath there too. It appears that all the venues for the visit are all in a tightly concentrated area around/within the Square. The grand reception was held at the President’s Palace

KARL SANCHEZ-[Quoting V. Putin]±Despite external pressure, our countries are successfully developing on a sovereign and independent basis, and have provided and will continue to provide full support to each other as true friends and good neighbors.
We will also continue to counteract the very practice of sanctions strangulation as a tool that the West is used to using in order to preserve its hegemony in politics, economy and other spheres. In this context, I would like to note that the indefinite restrictive regime of the UN Security Council against the DPRK, inspired by the United States and its allies, should be reviewed.
The propaganda cliches repeated by Westerners are no longer able to disguise their aggressive geopolitical intentions, including in the North-East Asian region. Our assessments of the root causes of the escalation of military-political tensions coincide. This is the confrontational policy of the United States to expand its military infrastructure in the sub-region, which is accompanied by a significant increase in the scale and intensity of various military exercises involving the Republic of Korea and Japan.

KARLOF1—So which is it? Is the narrative of being on the precipice of real war with Russia ‘deception’ designed to divert us from the herd of elephants grazing quietly for now, though with their presence likely to loom large as the election campaign reaches full-spate?
On the one hand, the very idea that Europe is equipped or capable to fight a real war is absurd. But equally, there are enough idiots around, hyped on delusions of long-past grandeur, to do something stupid. Interestingly, former British MP Andrew Bridgen implicitly acknowledges this risk, but adds that thank goodness it is Putin who stands on the other bank!
While on the other hand, everything in the West today revolves around the manipulation of narratives and crafting the winning meme.
