BREAKING: Donald Trump announces that the US Treasury has sanctioned major Russian oil companies and immediately calls on Moscow to agree to a ceasefire.

Instead of addressing the root causes of the conflict, Washington resorts to the same failed tactic of ‘pressure’.

Jabalia, Gaza. A post-apocalyptic hellscape, resembling the aftermath of a nuclear strike.

This was only possible because of the US, UK, and EU nations’ complicity and participation.

Don’t forget this when you hear the endless lectures on ‘human rights’ and ‘democracy’

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

"If Saudi Arabia tells us ‘normalization in exchange for a Palestinian state,’ friends, no thank you. Keep riding camels in the desert in Saudi Arabia🇸🇦."

Bezalel Smotrich and his band of genocidal fanatics can enjoy an Israel that is almost globally reviled, despised, and isolated thanks to their ideology of ethnic supremacism and bloodthirst.

Saudi Arabia does not need normalisation with Israel, it’s a booming economy with an important role to play in the multipolar world. It’s Israel and the United States that seek legitimacy for the barbaric settler-colonial project.

J.D. Vance SLAMS the Israeli Knesset vote which approved a bill to annex the West Bank as a “very stupid political stunt” that he felt “insulted by”.

He goes on to concretely say that the Trump Administration WILL NOT allow Israel to annex the Palestinian West Bank.

Are we finally beginning to see the consequences of the MAGA movement’s turn against Israel slowly reflect in the Trump Administration?

Israel’s repugnant policy of trying to enact a 21st century version of Lebensraum has managed to even disgust committed Zionists like Vance and Trump.

Pressure from GCC countries drawing a red line on West Bank annexation has also had an impact in making the Trump Administration slam the breaks on the Greater Israel plan.

Trump on Israel annexing the West Bank:

“It won't happen. It won’t happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries. And you can't do that now. We've had great Arab support. Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened.”

Pressure from the GCC and other Arab states seems to have halted Israel’s genocidal expansionist agenda…for now.

🚨GAZA: EUROPEAN VASSAL STATES HAVE WORKED TO CEMENT THEIR OWN IRRELEVANCE

‘I’ve never seen a bloc of countries work as assiduously to ensure its own irrelevance as the European Union — or the Europeans more generally. During the Gaza genocide, they’ve basically played the role of obedient puppy, of the submissive underling.

But in terms of any strategic autonomy, let alone seeking to influence the reality, they have worked night and day to ensure their total irrelevance. And we’re seeing this now not only with regard to Gaza, but at least as much so now with regard to Iran.

Europe has some very fundamental differences with Washington, primarily regarding trade and tariffs and so on. And it’s doing everything it can to mollify Washington — to ensure Washington at least formally remains on board with European policy towards Ukraine and so on.

A genocide isn’t that big a deal for Europeans. I mean, you’ll be familiar with European history, so I don’t need to elaborate on that. And in this case, as far as they’re concerned, they’re not going to pick a fight with Washington over something they see as important to the Americans while they have much bigger fish to fry, like Ukraine, tariffs, et cetera.’

On this day in 1970, Salvador Allende, a Marxist, was elected by the Chilean Congress to become the new President of Chile🇨🇱 following his victory in a democratic election.

The CIA launched a coup against Allende in 1973 using their ally General Augusto Pinochet after a protracted US campaign to sabotage and impoverish the Chilean people as punishment for electing a President not subservient to Washington.

President Nixon ordered the CIA to “make the economy scream” in Chile to “prevent Allende from coming to power or to unseat him.” Allende refused to surrender to Pinochet’s troops and died defending the Presidential Palace.

Pinochet’s fascist dictatorship would see the deaths, imprisonment, or disappearance of over 40,000 people. The CIA-backed coup in Chile was part of establishing Operation Condor, a plan to impose de-facto continent-wide fascism in Latin America to crush socialist, communist and workers’ movements. Operation Condor is estimated to be responsible for 60,000-80,000 deaths in Latin America.

Here he is addressing the Chilean people for the last time, before he died defending the country from Pinochet’s fascism.

The US🇺🇸 Treasury has sanctioned Colombia’s🇨🇴 President Gustavo Petro on ridiculous charges of ‘narco-trafficking’…

The real reason for the sanctions is Petro refused to be an obedient vassal leader like previous Presidents, and has consistently spoken out against the US’ barbaric foreign policy.

Make no mistake, this is Washington’s ultimatum for Latin America:

Serve and obey as a US vassal, stay silent on the US’ crimes, and let US corporations pillage your country.

The deal on offer from China🇨🇳, and the rest of the BRICS+ bloc: economic development, national sovereignty, mutual respect and cooperation.

And yet the US wonders why Latin America and the rest of the global south are looking East more than ever…

🚨Mouin Rabbani: ‘Palestinian🇵🇸 Authority’s dereliction of duty during Gaza genocide has been SHOCKING’

‘For the past two years we’ve heard nary a peep from Ramallah and its leadership. It’s almost like what’s happening in Gaza was happening in Southeast Asia or the tip of South America. And their dereliction of duty has really been shocking.

They’re so eager and desperate to get back into the game that they’re actually willing to play ball with Tony Blair, who in addition to being, as you pointed out, a war criminal after Iraq, was also the Quartet special envoy in Palestine and was universally detested by Palestinian officials.

I’m not talking about Hamas, I’m talking about the Palestinian Authority. He was basically seen as an errand boy for the Israelis and they couldn’t stand him.

But now it seems all is forgiven and they’re willing to praise him to the high heavens, in a desperate attempt to get back into the game.’

Mouin Rabbani: ‘Russia🇷🇺, China🇨🇳, and the GCC must use their leverage on Trump to STOP a second Israeli war on Iran🇮🇷

‘Trump is desperate for foreign policy successes. He’s completely failed to achieve anything meaningful in Ukraine, in Gaza, he basically has managed to force Israel into a ceasefire and is touting this as the most important breakthrough in diplomatic history for the last 3000 years.

And so I think Russia and China, but just as importantly the GCC states, could work in concert, to use their influence and leverage, with Washington not only to ensure that there isn’t another Israeli war on Iran, but also to present a reasonable and achievable diplomatic resolution, because, as you know, both the United States and Iran are in principle, willing to reach a diplomatic agreement.

The problem is that Israel, rather, the United States, is demanding terms from Iran that no sovereign government is prepared to accept, or in my view should accept.’

🚨Israel waiting for Trump to potentially attack Venezuela🇻🇪 or deal with the government shutdown to RIP UP Gaza ceasefire deal

‘The only thing sustaining the Gaza ceasefire deal is this US pressure on Israel. But I think Israel is banking on the limited attention span of the Americans, and that once the Americans get diverted by other things…

Whether it’s another foreign policy crisis like Venezuela, or a domestic crisis like the government shutdown, Israel is confident that it’ll be able to do as it pleases, and in so doing, enjoy at least passive US acquiescence.’

Benjamin Netanyahu is already using the Gaza ‘ceasefire’ as an opportunity to declare that Israel will occupy southern Syria indefinitely.

The destruction of Assad’s government in Syria was to lay the groundwork for a Greater Israel. If you said this previously, you were called a conspiracy theorist…

Now you’re seeing the plan in action.

🚨A SECOND ISRAELI WAR ON IRAN🇮🇷 IS VERY LIKELY

‘Another Israeli attack on Iran is very likely. And those who understand Iran and Israeli-Iranian relations much better than I do feel that way. Because all the boasting and bragging about Iran having been brought to its knees and its nuclear programme having been obliterated and so on is basically little more than boasting and bragging.

And as other analysts have pointed out, Israel’s objective in Iran is to be able to deal with Iran the same way it now deals with Syria, that basically, Iran is supposed to be a defenceless nation whose skies Israel can penetrate at will and bomb whatever it likes.

But I’m less certain about how this is organically related to the situation in the Gaza Strip. My sense is that Israel is determined to once again attack Iran. Israel, of course, would dearly like to do this once again in partnership with the United States and would like to do so irrespective of whether there is genocide, war, ceasefire, or whatever in the Gaza Strip.’

🚨Iran’s🇮🇷 officials have warned that in a second war, they would not hold back. The result? Israel could unleash a nuclear Holocaust.

☢️Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on Going Underground: Israel could use NUKES in next war with Iran

‘A resumed war with Iran will be clearly existential for Israel, Iran is going to shellack Israel, it’s going to destroy Israel.

What does Bibi Netanyahu do? He’s looking at state destruction, and he’s looking at his own political and personal destruction. That worries me. That truly worries me, because I don’t think there are too many real checks on his ability to use one of the 200 or so nuclear weapons that we think they have.’

🚨Mouin Rabbani: The US🇺🇸 controls Israel, NOT the other way around

‘We need to get away from the idea that the United States is somehow an Israeli colony. The US must take responsibility for its own foreign policy, for its own complicity in these abhorrent crimes, including now the Gaza genocide.

Is Israel powerful in the US? Certainly more powerful than any other foreign lobby. But Israel is not more powerful than the United States.’

EFFORTS TO END THE UKRAINE🇺🇦 PROXY WAR ARE STUCK, US🇺🇸 TALKS WITH RUSSIA🇷🇺 STALLED…WHY?

‘What you had with the Rubio–Lavrov conversation was a realisation that things simply weren’t there to allow for a meeting to go forward, not even a meeting of Rubio and Lavrov.

There was the realisation that occurred in the last weeks or so, that nothing has changed since Alaska. There’s been no movement on either side in any appreciable way that would allow for the two sides to come together to create a deal.

And so this is the position that they’re stuck in. And then, of course, the Europeans, egging the Ukrainians on, seem to be doing everything they can to ensure that the gap remains as wide as possible.’

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs debated an Italian Senator on television and was called a liar and accused of spreading propaganda for telling the realities of the Russia-NATO proxy war in Ukraine and the history behind it.

He was left speechless and almost brought to tears. This is what happens to anyone who tries to talk some sense into the delusional elites of the multipolar world’s Island of Irrelevancy, who refuse to actually act in the interests of their own continent and pursue a broad security compromise with Russia to end a war on their own continent which is crippling their own economies…

And condemning Europe to a fate of increasing unimportance and vassalage to Washington. The efforts of Prof. Jeffrey Sachs are futile, this pompous and deluded European political class will never act in the interests of their own populations.

A decade or two from now, documentaries will be made revealing the dirty truth behind Washington’s attempt to use Ukraine as a battering ram to bring Russia to its knees with no regard for Ukrainian lives, the words of figures such as Prof. Jeffrey Sachs will likely be featured and perhaps Europeans will learn the truth, as much of the rest of the world already know.

But it will likely be too late, with Europe being nothing more than a washed up, terminally declining husk of its former self.
