BLOWBACK—The panel discusses Israel’s genocidist’s posture toward Palestinians, the negative impact of 10/7 on the myths supporting the US empire and its vassals (among which Israel stands out), and how this will probably accelerate the decline in global power by the US and the prospects for Israel’s long-term survival. Hamas’ blow, despite its immense cost to the Palestinian people, has broken the cycle of gradual asphyxiation applied by a sociopathic Israel over decades, and exposed the moral bankruptcy of Western media and political elites.

Pasta and Fiorella engage in a wide-ranging discussion with Kharkov resident Gonzalo Lira about the current situation in Ukraine and the prospects for the near future, as the war seems to be progressing to a conclusion with a victory for Russian arms. Gonzalo states his views about the moral and sociopolitical implosion of the West, and his belief that the multilateral axis headed by Russia, Iran, and China may eventually conquer “the West” (AKA “the US Empire”), still being led to disaster by the warmongering sectors of the American ruling class.

ANDREI MARTYANOV—OK, first things first–“several tens of thousands”? Typo, but even if typo and only several thousand kilometers into space, it is mind-boggling still. Defies imagination, on the other hand with the range of 1000 kilometers against aerial targets and SU-57 (and S-70 Okhotnik) officially having the ability to guide air-defense missiles it has not just operational but strategic implications.

TOM LUONGO—While this is speculation, it is on target however, because this statement from the State Dept. came before the Saudis sat down and signed an agreement with the Russians during the height of the U.S.’s shameful and shambolic retreat from Kabul.
As insults go in geopolitics, this was a pretty big one.
So, that will be the next shoe to drop here. If I’m right and the goal of those behind the Biden Administration (itself with a use-by date similar to that of the petrodollar) is to dismantle the U.S. as much as possible, then we will see Lindsey Graham and others wring their blood-soaked hands in grief lamenting the necessity of sanctioning our long-term friends in Saudi Arabia.

MONDOWEISS—If the Empire thought that the Sharif, with Ibn Saud now on his border and armed to the teeth by the British, would finally become more amenable to the division of Arabia and the British Zionist colonial project in Palestine they were short lived. A new round of talks between Abdulla’s son, acting on behalf of his father in Transjordan and the Empire resulted in a draft treaty accepting Zionism. When it was delivered to the Sharif with an accompanying letter from his son requesting that he “accept reality”, he didn’t even bother to read the treaty and instead composed a draft treaty himself rejecting the new divisions of Arabia as well as the Balfour Declaration and sent it to London to be ratified!
