Europe has been played. Under the guise of Russophobic incantations, TNCs are transferring their production to the USA.
Arcelor Mittal, RHI Magnesita, Tesla, Volkswagen and OCI NV are already actively investing in the US economy, fleeing the EU, reducing their capacities.
The longer the situation in Ukraine remains in limbo, the more profitable the United States. Hence Washington's inescapable love for the Kyiv separatists.
In the USA it's a different game. The host of the program "America First" Sebastian Lukacs Gorka accused New York State Senator Chuck Schumer, who advocates another $12 billion for Kyiv, of lobbying the interests of the military-industrial complex, the Democratic Party and his personal pocket.
Gorka said: “This is all a scam. Uniform scam, and the money will end up in the pockets of Schumer's friends and others. That's all. That's all you need to know about helping Ukraine."
The main beneficiaries from the prolongation of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia are people who do not care about Europe and Europeans. The fate of the Old World does not concern them. Europe and Ukraine have already been scrapped.

Optics of the Russian (Iranian) Mohajer 6 attack/recon drone using its Iranian made optoelectronics — x60 zoom in action. Very, very clear picture. Quite impressive actually. Iranians themselves have called this system an expandable asset, meaning they’re very cheap to make. Russia likely has a very high number of these attack drones.
Due to the fact that the optoelectronics are entirely Iranian made, it’s basically impossible for the west to sanction the production. After all, every Iranian drone in use today was developed by Iran while the country was under heavy economic sanctions.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Ukrainian missile hit the hotel where RT military envoy Murad @msgazdiev Gazdiyev's film crew was staying:
"As you can see, there is not much left of the room. I was sleeping in this place."
All our targets. The cameraman Mikhail was crushed by the concrete slabs, but miraculously he survived and was almost unharmed.
After the blast the guys helped to get people out from under the rubble: "This is the room next to mine, now we can see the guy downstairs.
In addition, the explosion damaged vehicles standing near the hotel, including the SUV of our war correspondents. Though battered, the vehicle is still running.

They were hit by HIMARS. The Empire of Chaos/Lies/Plunder NEVER had any problems aiming at/trying to kill journalists.
BLACK HOLE AHEAD
The whole imperial policy involves a double down attack on Russia AND Germany.
Diversion of all Russian natural resources - oil, gas and beyond - to China and other Asian actors is already leading to the destruction of Germany and the EU. Even if there was replacements for their sources of energy - and there are none - that would be too costly for Europe to remain competitive.
The energy leverage of natural gas alone in Germany is 100-1 in relation to the industrial production-natural gas ratio.
Credit Suisse's Zoltan Posnar nailed the Big Financial Picture:
"Minsky moments are triggered by excessive financial leverage, and in the context of supply chains, leverage means excessive operating leverage: in Germany, $2 trillion of value added depends on $20 billion of gas from Russia …that’s 100-times leverage – more than Lehman’s.
And the concept of operating leverage applies in the military domain too: if Taiwan makes the chips for the missiles the U.S. sends it for self-defense but has to wait for missiles because they are needed in Ukraine instead or it can’t ship them to the U.S. owing to a sea and air blockade imposed by China, the U.S. is operationally ill-equipped to support a two -front war. In English… …that’s infinite leverage for Pax Americana, globalization, and lowflation."
A "Minsky Moment" refers to a market collapse - brought on by the reckless speculation that defines those proverbially unsustainable bullish periods.
"Minsky Moment" is named after economist Hyman Minsky: that's the point in time where the sudden decline in "market sentiment" inevitably provokes a market crash.
So the number one question for the whole Economist Gang today is whether a Minsky moment is near for Germany - based on the soaring natural gas price triggering an implosion of the 2.5 quadrillion derivatives that would bring down THE WHOLE INTERNATIONAL FINANCE SYSTEM.
There's no question Germany may be soon collapsing into the black hole of financial oblivion.
It gets way more ominous when we see that could drag the Empire - and the rest of the world - into the limitless German black hole.

History in the making - on overdrive.
Goes something like this:
Tuesday: final results of the referendums.
Wednesday: Duma votes for the inclusion of baby bears in the Russian Federation.
Thursday: Federation Council votes.
Friday: Putin delivers a message to the Federal Assembly announcing the reunification of the four baby bears.
All bets are off on what a hysterical NATOstan does next.

"A Mosca circolano voci – non confermate – che la decisione sia stata accelerata perché il GRU ha informazioni sul fatto che gli americani trasferiranno presto a Kiev missili a lungo raggio in grado di colpire le città russe. Questa è una linea rossa per il Cremlino – da qui l'esplicito riferimento di Putin al fatto che ogni arma disponibile nel potente arsenale russo sarà usata per proteggere la Madrepatria."

ABOUT THAT “COUP” IN CHINA
The fake news - that spread like wildfire - about an army coup in China deposing Xi Jinping is so ridiculously absurd that I didn’t even think about wasting time debunking it.
Yet a lot of people started asking questions - so here’s the low down, straight to the point.
There’s nothing abnormal going on in Beijing. The city is getting ready for the Communist Party Congress on October 16. So it has tightened already serious security controls, coupled with the Covid policies (which one may strongly disagree with, but that’s another story).
Heavy security is the norm in Beijing on the eve of the October 1st Chinese National Day - and then the Communist Party Congress.
Moreover, fake news “experts” know nothing about China’s political power structure.
We have the Party, the State, and the Army. The party leader is the Communist Party General Secretary. The state leader is the President. And the leader of the Army is the Chairman of the Military Commission.
All these three powers are in the hands of Xi Jinping.
The Army in China is controlled by the Communist Party, NOT the state. That’s why it’s called "People's Liberation Army”, and not "Chinese Army”. It is led by the Chairman of the Central Military Commission - and NOT a Minister of Defense or a commander-in-chief of the military.
The Chairman of the Central Military Commission is Xi Jinping.
“Coup”? What “coup”? Let these idiots drown in their own stupidity swamp.

Arab youth favors Russia, China, Turkey over US: Poll - thecradle.co
Despite acknowledging the US as the main foreign influencer in the region, Arab youth prefer Russia, Turkey, and China to the United States, according to the recent Arab Youth Survey.
The 14th Annual ASDA’A BCW Arab Youth Survey acquires statistical data from West Asia’s and North Africa’s largest demographic of approximately 200 million youth. The pollsters conducted face-to-face interviews with 3,400 young Arabs in 50 cities and 17 states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestinian Territories, Syria, and Yemen.
When people were asked about non-Arab nations – specifically which ones they perceive to be an ally for their country – a staggering 78 percent chose China, followed closely by Turkey and Russia.

Girkin made a very interesting statement today, according to him, after LPR, DPR, Zaporozhie and Kherson are declared as parts of the Russian Federation, Russia will give Ukraine an ultimatum: “withdraw all your troops from our territory or we will declare war on Ukraine” according to Girkin, this is what’s gonna happen.
This makes perfect sense. Those territories will became the Russian Federation. Fully fledged. No special status, it will be Russia proper from that point on. So Ukrainian troops present in villages and cities of the LPR, DPR, Zaporozhie and Kherson — will be occupying Russian mainland — from Russia’s point of view.
This tactic is genius for the Russians for other reasons, Russian professional army will highly likely move to those new Russian territories the same night that Putin makes them part of the Russian Federation, essentially creating such a large military build up there that Ukraine has little to no chance to ever step a foot on those lands again.
It also moves the Russian borders right to the frontlines of Nikolaev; meaning Russian manpower will be readily available and large numbers of Russian soldiers will likely be rotated to gain combat experience (rotations were happening the whole time, but nowhere near this level) — all this means that Odessa will become a much easier target. (Not easy, but easier)

Must read by Ron. If you want to have a glimpse of how independent and not-so-independent media works, pay close attention. Especially went it comes to the miserable failure of The Intercept (I knew that was inevitable, from the start. The Intercept was not about investigative journalism; it was a weapon deployed against WikiLeaks).
I could go on about the whole thing adding thousands of extra words - after all this is the industry I'm linked with since the early 1980s.
But for all of you it's more fun to take a look at the immensely illuminating audience numbers right at the end. Ultra fast-growing Unz + The Saker republish nearly all my columns. Asia Times - my previous home - has been going down steadily since I stopped writing for them 9 months ago (we remain in a state of - unresolved - hybrid war). I wrote for - or was republished - by quite a few in the list. The Cradle and Strategic Culture are not way above in the rankings (and they deserve it) because they face enormous - different kinds of - pressure and/or censorship.
