The First Cracks in the Biden-Zelensky Relationship Appear. But Why Now?
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
Has Biden figured that the way to divert opprobrium from the US media is to get out of the war in Ukraine and look at a second phase later on?
You might have easily missed it. The reference, for the first time by the left-wing press in the US which supports Biden, that corruption exists and is a real problem in the administration of President Zelensky in Ukraine.
The article, penned by the Washington Postโs top foreign affairs correspondent and award-winning journalist Thomas L Friedman, was really about hinting that relations between the Biden camp and Zelenskyโs was hardly one on firm ground. Perhaps it never was. But for the moment, this narrative is being fed into the system โ via Friedman โ is that relations are not quite what they are perceived to be by most western media.
The timing is interesting as I have long argued that the US is looking for a way to distance itself from Zelensky and may well be considering how to remove him (even by assassination which could be blamed on the Russians). Is the Biden camp preparing the ground for such a move with this article?
Friedman described Zelenskyโs decision to fire Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova and the head of the State Security Service (SBU), Ivan Bakanov, in mid-July as โfunny business going on in Kievโ adding that he hadnโt yet seen any reporting in the US media that โconvincingly explainsโ the reasons behind the largest shakeup in the Kiev government since the beginning of the war. He then hits us with the kill shot.
โIt is as if we donโt want to look too closely under the hood in Kiev for fear of what corruption or antics we might see, when we have invested so much there,โ he wrote.
Is this a hint of some sort? Is Biden warning Zelensky to clean his backyard up and to keep the lid on re-selling of US arms to the black market of weapons, which often means selling to terrorist groups in Syria โ or else.
Or is he saying to the rest of the media, that this is the theme which we would like you to carry on? Certainly, to start with the Washington Post and using someone like Friedman would be a deft media move to create a momentum on the given theme of graft getting out of control. But equally, it would be an erudite move to send a message to Zelensky himself. We will soon know in the coming weeks.
Itโs quite possible that Bidenโs camp knew about the Ukraine military selling off huge amounts of the military sent to the Ukraine and were quite happy with it, as long as Zelensky played ball on a number of matters which revolved around the same theme: the White House calls the shots on the day-to-day events of the war. This feeds into the thousands of satirical memes on social media which portray Zelensky as some kind of sex slave, complete with PVC underwear.
But here are the five scenarios which explain the corruption and weapons being resold
Money laundering. Biden is sending the hardware and Zelensky is selling half of it to the arms market. The money is being kept by Zelensky on behalf of Biden. Zelensky is simply a bank manager for Biden whose family have many murky business deals in the country anyway.
Biden is aware of the arms being sold on and Zelensky keeping the profits in return for keeping a number of business deals which the Biden family have there.
The Ukrainian military is selling the equipment and keeping the profits themselves and Zelensky is not part of it, although he gives tacit approval to it.
The cash from the arms re-selling and also money from US taxpayers is being held in a โdirty bankโ account, controlled by Zelensky which the Biden family are keeping for t...

โThe Killing of al-Qaeda Chief Ayman al Zawahiri Will Not Make Us Safer
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
Whatever people in the U.S. might think about the killing of al Zawahiri in the middle of the Afghan capital 7,000 miles away, safety and security are hardly likely to top the list.
By Phyllis BENNIS
President Joe Biden, to his credit, did not come out swaggering at his press conference announcing that the CIA had just killed al-Qaeda chief Ayman al Zawahiri. But he did make the dubious assertation that the assassination somehow โmade us all safer.โ
In reality, this killing will not end the war on terror, and is unlikely to make us safer. And meanwhile, the Biden administration and other top U.S. officials are taking actions that do threaten our security.
The U.S. is still spending billions of dollars arming Ukraine against Russia, while numerous experts around the world are discussing openly how the war escalates the danger of a nuclear exchange between the worldโs two largest nuclear weapons states.
Another problem is that Biden spoke just as the third most powerful U.S. political leader, and second in line of succession to the presidency, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was about to land in Taiwan, deliberately provoking China in what looks an awful lot like the abandonment of Washingtonโs longstanding policy of recognizing only one China. An increasingly tense cold war between Washington and Beijing may be on the verge of rapidly heating up.
The forever war against terrorists has not made us safer.
Still another problem is that just hours before his Rose Garden announcement of the killing of al Zawahiri, Biden all but promised to give up his late and half-hearted effort to return to the Iran nuclear deal that Donald Trump abandoned in 2018. Instead, Biden imposed new sanctions prohibiting the sale of Iranian oil and petrochemical products to increase pressure on Tehran. Polls show 56% of people across the United States support the nuclear deal. And despite Israelโs right-from-the-beginning opposition, even top Israeli military and intelligence officials have agreed that a return to the deal is far safer than continuing to reject the agreement, known as the JCPOA, since continuing U.S. sanctions will be met with continuation of Iranโs nuclear program.
And yet another problem is that despite the pundit-driven discussion of whether the assassination of al Zawahiri represents the โreal endโ of Washingtonโs Global War on Terror, that war continues. The U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan last year marked the end of the large-scale troop deployments that characterized most of the 20+ years of the GWOT. But the war was strategically modified, not ended. U.S. special forces are deployed publicly in Syria, in Somalia, in Niger and elsewhere. Unofficially CIA commandos are operating in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Drone and air strikes continue from โover the horizon.โ The war on terrorโthe forever warโisnโt over yet.
In the meantime, Washington confronts 140 million poor and low-wealth people in the U.S. and billions more around the world, who all face a planet consumed with floods and fire, a raging global pandemic, escalating inflation, and rising militarism and refugee fl...

North Korea Blasts US Over Nuclear Program Criticism
North Korea's mission to the United Nations has issued a rare statement claiming Washington is hypocritical in criticizing Pyongyangโs nuclear ambitions, branding the US โthe kingpin of nuclear proliferation."
"Today, the mastermind that undermines the foundation of the non-proliferation regime is none other than the United States," read the document. "We will never tolerate any attempt by the U.S. and its servile forces to groundlessly accuse our state and encroach upon our sovereign rights and national interests," it added.
Recent media reports have suggested that North Korea might be ramping up its nuclear program, while simultaneously getting ready for a dialogue with the US.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was left perplexed by a question on a minuscule increase in oil output by the OPEC+ group despite the efforts undertaken by US President Joe Biden.
Asked whether Biden takes the oil regulator's move as 'an insult', Jean-Pierre was unable to hide her facial expression.
The media slammed the tiny increase by the OPEC group by only 100,000 barrels a day as Biden's political failure as he personally visited Saudi Arabia, calling to boost the oil output in a bid to lower the prices.
