Deputy Chief of Chinaโ€™s๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Central Military Commission Jing Jianfeng:

โ€˜Facts have proved that the US is the biggest source of chaos in the international order.โ€™

โ€œThe US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ uses the rules and orders as hegemonic narratives. When these rules and orders serve its interests, the US employs them, when they do not, the US discards them.โ€™

โ€˜From Afghanistan to Iraq, from Ukraine to Gaza, all these crises and conflicts are results of the self-serving double standards of the US.โ€

The Greater Israel plan rolls on as post-Assad Syria falls into carnage:

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu announces the โ€˜demilitarisationโ€™ of the Golan Heights and to the Druze Mountain area, as Israel expands its occupation.

This was the plan all along; break Syria, have it fall into sectarian violence, and allow Israel to expand. Those who said this was the plan all along were called conspiracy theorists, and now we see the โ€˜conspiracyโ€™ becoming reality.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บTRUMP IS MAKING UKRAINE HIS WAR

โ€˜Militarily, what the Europeans are able to provide from their stocks, even if they can backfill it from the United States or whatever they might purchase from US stocks, is quite limited in quantity.

US and European stocks are already quite depleted of new munitions, so any weapons that are going to arrive quickly will be limited in quantity and type.

And if the Europeans are planning to buy new production, which is another option for them, that will take time to get to Ukraine.

So itโ€™s not going to change the battlefield balance in any major way. It is a big change, though, for Trump politically, in that heโ€™s long insisted this was Bidenโ€™s war, not his war. Now heโ€™s taken a step towards making it his war.

So whereas I thought a month ago that he could walk away and cut US involvement with no political consequences or fallout, now I think the risks are higher for him.

And so, he has sort of put himself in a tough position now. Much harder for him to walk away from this conflict should things go bad, without facing repercussions domestically.โ€™

Trumpโ€™s Attack on Iran๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท is a message to the Global South: GET NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

โ€˜The message that theyโ€™re sending is that this was a strong signal that nuclear proliferation is off limits and that the United States will intervene.

But the message is exactly the opposite to any Global South or other country looking at this situation is that nuclear weapons are the only way to be secure.

And I do think that it will lead to more nuclear proliferation, which is ironic, because the goal here was to prevent proliferation and the result ultimately, in my view will be, will be the opposite.โ€™

๐ŸšจWHY US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ TROOPS MUST BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE MIDDLE EAST

โ€˜Weโ€™ve argued, multiple times, in multiple different venues that these US personnel should be withdrawn, especially the most vulnerable in Iraq and Syria, but also the other bases.

My view is that the United States does not really have extensive security or even economic interests that are advanced by having 40,000 US forces in the region. Instead, the effect is that anything that happens in the region pulls the United States in. And there arenโ€™t many countries in the region who are excited to see the US military show up, for good reason, after repeated failures, and making bigger messes than when they arrived.

So I do think that the US military presence is a liability, does not advance US interests, and certainly should be downsized.

There is concern about the cooperation between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, but not that much that US policymakers can do to stop it. Instead, itโ€™s really the opposite. The policies that the US puts in place drive these countries together and exacerbate and encourage that cooperation.โ€™

The US has only sent signals to the global south of never to trust it:

Iraq๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ: Did not have WMDs, destroyed

Libya๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡พ: Negotiated and gave up WMD programs, destroyed

Iran๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท: Signed JCPOA to limit its nuclear program and the US ripped it up and killed their top General

Iran๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท again: Entered negotiations with the US in good faith, and Israel got the green light from Washington to attack it during negotiations, followed by a US attack.

The lesson to the global south: the bombs will keep on falling, no matter who the President is. Negotiations are pointless.

North Koreaโ€™s development of nuclear weapons looks in geopolitical hindsight as the most sensible decision which ensured its survival.
