KARL SANCHEZ—Most will have heard that POTUS Joe Biden has withdrawn as the D-Party POTUS candidate/nominee, but as the graphic suggests was he really “running the nation”, and what does that really entail anyway?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.

BRIAN BERLETIC—The US through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has created large numbers of media platforms, political organizations, and education programs meant to convince the Philippine people that serving US foreign policy objectives is in their own best interests. The ultimate irony is that these US efforts have convinced Filipinos that fighting China is necessary to protect their sovereignty, when in fact US influence over Philippine foreign policy already constitutes the usurpation of Philippine sovereignty.

ERIC ZUESSE—The main modern iteration of this U.S. regime obsession to get a nuclear missile posted so near to The Kremlin so that the blitz-attack would happen too fast to be responded to, is the case of Ukraine, which is only 317 miles or five minutes of flying-time away from The Kremlin. What Cuba was to the United States in 1962, Ukraine came to be to Russia after Obama’s coup there grabbed it in February 2014. But whereas Cuba is 1,131 miles away from DC, Ukraine is only 317 miles away from Moscow; so, in this iteration of the geography-based strategy, Russia’s argument against Ukraine is even stronger than America’s argument against Cuba was in 1962. Russia has been altogether too trusting of the U.S. Government. But, by now, any further continuation of that trust in this Government, is extremely unlikely — not only in Russia, but everywhere.

PEPE ESCOBAR—Michael Hudson once again has reminded everyone with a brain that the running NATO warmongering show has nothing to do with peaceful internationalism. It’s rather about “a unipolar U.S. military alliance leading toward military aggression and economic sanctions to isolate Russia and China. Or more to the point, to isolate European and other allies from its former trade and investment with Russia and China, making those allies more dependent on the United States.”

ANDREI MARTYANOV AND SCOTT RITTER – NATO MEETS UKRAINE COLLAPSES – MISSILES DRONES CHANGE WAR
7 minutes readGARLAND NIXON—A must-watch discussion on developments rapidly shaping a new world, with the US playing a dangerously disruptive and criminal role. Among the topics: The new alliance emerging in Eurasia, anchored in the Russia—China integration in all matters of strategic security, economy, energy and diplomacy. The Jihadist problem is seen as gradually dissolving away as poor countries attain prosperity through economic self-sufficiency and sovereignty. Meantime, the technology of war keeps changing, with Russia leading the way through innovation and fluidity, zeroing in on rocketry and missiles, for both offensive and defensive operations. The US military is broken, asserts Scott Ritter. Its hardware is obsolete, its military doctrines misguided. The US ruling class notion that they can do a devastating first strike on Russia and still not suffer a ghastly retaliation is delusional if not outright criminal. The Bonus Feature describes the ultimate absurdity we live under: a globalist ruling class bent on conquering and subjugating Russia, China and the rest of the world at any cost, which is precisely the recipe for universal suicide. NATO is their main instrument.
