๐ŸšจWASHINGTONโ€™S๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ INSATIABLE APPETITE FOR WAR

โ€˜Trumpโ€™s goal is to unravel the US empire in all parts of the world in 4 years. But it was interesting because pretty much the day that he seemed to be on the verge of negotiating peace in Ukraine๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, that very day, suddenly the military is bombing the Houthis in Yemen๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช.โ€™

โ€˜So thereโ€™s an appetite for war in Washington, and they have to keep it going somewhere all the time. And itโ€™s not clear to what extent the Commander-in-Chief is really the Commander-in-Chief.โ€™

Jeffrey Tucker, Founder and President of the Brownstone Institute

๐ŸšจTHROWBACK, Joe Biden on Europe:

โ€˜Europe cannot stay united without the United States. There is no moral centre in Europe.โ€™

Washington thinks of Europe as a vassal and Europe has no identity other than being a loyal vassal.

Even if Europe wants to put on a loud production of being a sovereign great power, the reality is obvious for all to see:

Europe has no real military strength for the foreseeable future after disarming themselves by arming Ukraine. Even if they go on a rearmament drive, theyโ€™ll be filling the pockets of the US military-industrial complex, not their own.

NATO is the US and the US is NATO. If Trump finally has enough with Europeโ€™s intransigence and warmongering, no European NATO alternative will be able to replace it.

For once, Europe has to see things through a sense of realism. Russia is its neighbour and the geography will not change. If Europe wants long-term security, a security architecture which includes its neighbour and involves cooperation is the only way to achieve permanent strategic peace.

Continuing the policy of sustaining a bloc, perhaps without the US, specifically against Russia is asking for the same problems for the next 40 years.

๐ŸšจJEFFREY TUCKER: US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ EMPIRE IS UNRAVELLING

'What we're seeing is a gradual unravelling of the US empire which is made necessary because we can't afford to fund every war in the world or provide security and arms exports for the planet Earth. It's finally come to an end, it began just after the post-war period and it lasted all this time.'

'But Donald Trump faces a ferocious military and military-industrial complex obviously that's very hungry for tax dollars all the time. So controlling the Generals, controlling the military, the arms manufacturers and all of the vast networks in Washington that are making money off the US empire is not the easiest thing in the world.'

-Jeffrey Tucker, Founder and President of the Brownstone Institute

BREAKING: Trump announced that any country purchasing oil and/or gas from Venezuela๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช will be forced to pay a 25% tariff on any trade done with the United States๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ.

Marco Rubio has got his wish, the foot is being put on the Monroe Doctrine imperialism accelerator.

More de facto sanctions such as this allowing the US bully the rest of the world will only speed up de-dollarisation.

๐ŸšจJEFFREY TUCKER: ELON MUSK HAS PLAYED A HEROIC ROLE

โ€˜I donโ€™t know what other person Trump would have tapped to get hold of the essential spending mechanisms in the USโ€ฆElon Musk seemed like the best one for the job. I donโ€™t know who else he could have appointed that would have been ferocious enough and compelling enough to do that job.โ€™

โ€˜Elon Musk buying X broke the media monopoly and it is now the number one app in the world, and itโ€™s because people donโ€™t like censored platforms. They like truth, and true things coming out. So he played an important and heroic role in all of this.โ€™

Real journalism vs pro-genocide propaganda

Hossam had more honour and integrity as a journalist in one finger than the entirety of the journalists at NATO nation propaganda media outlets

Tireless documentation of the genocide on the ground, under constant threat of being killed

The Press Freedomโ„ข๏ธ industry is completely silent as Israel continues to assassinated journalists in broad daylight

RIP Hossam Shabat

One thing is clear from the Trump administration Yemen group chat leaks:

The Trump administration not only considers Europe to be a broke, freeloading burden on the United States, but looks at Europe with disdain

Europeโ€™s puppy dog vassalage to the United States has become so pathetic that even Washington itself finds it cringeworthy

๐ŸšจPolitico reports that officials in the European Union๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ are growing increasingly critical of Kaja Kallas for โ€˜acting like a Prime Ministerโ€™ and her constant war rhetoric against Russia๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

One official said โ€œIf you listen to her it seems we are at war with Russia, which is not the EU line.โ€

After Zelenskyโ€™s disastrous confrontation with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, Kaja Kallas posted โ€œthe free world needs a new leader.โ€ One EU diplomat said โ€œMost countries donโ€™t want to inflame things with the United Statesโ€ฆsaying the free world needs a new leader just isnโ€™t what most leaders wanted to put out there.โ€

You know the situation is bad when even EU officials and diplomats, typically some of the most clueless government officials in the world, are worried by Kallasโ€™ rhetoric.

Congresswoman Plaskett: Is Russia๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ a friend or an adversary?

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: They're an adversary

Turning this relationship from adversarial to friendship would give the US a gateway to better relations with the rising powers of the multipolar world

Continuing the adversarial relationship with Russia only keeps the world divided, and the US left out of the opportunities a multipolar world brings
