⚖️The Euro-élites were in desperate need of a Values System to fill the gap. The solution, however, was at hand.

The advocates of American primacy within the United States always move with the times, relying on prevailing trends to reimagine justification for its’ ‘exceptionalism’ through novel imagery.

The rise of the liberal-woke activist-driven, social justice-oriented identity politics has provided its soldiers with their newest justification. It is not just a new ‘policy’, but is something different: It is an ideology brooking no ‘otherness’; no disputation, but requiring simply the signalling of loyalty and compliance for a ‘progressive’ code – showing you have heard the message and seen ‘the light’.

They seek, in short, through conversion of the leadership class, to subvert and overthrow the old deities.

🪖🤔 The Rift Between European Policymakers and Public Opinion

In 2022, the Central European nation of Slovakia has supported Ukraine with more than €154m in military aid. This includes S-300 air defense system, Mi-series military helicopters, self-propelled howitzers, and Grad multiple-rocket launcher rockets as well as tracked infantry fighting BVP-1 vehicles.

However, the public opinion is not as pro-Ukrainian as the country’s government 🧐

🇫🇷🇬🇧 Does Liz Truss see herself angling for a top job in the EU or what is seen as a new group which will take over its bigger role with Macron leading it?

When politicians believe that they’re against the wall and their careers are in tatters they do anomalous things.

Liz Truss, left battle scarred by a serious of abysmal media appearances on local radio, may well be thinking about how long she has, given that MPs in her own party are already panicking and giving her the no confidence vote.

🗽America’s War on Russia in Ukraine: A Background

RAND Corporation’s 2019 report “Overextending and Unbalancing Russia” specified “cost-imposing options that the United States and its allies could pursue across economic, political, and military areas to stress Russia’s economy and armed forces and the regime's political standing at home and abroad.”

This infographic shows the measures that the report’s authors believe would bring the highest benefits.

🐲 China’s ascendant global power is showing up the increasingly bankrupt condition of the United States and its Western allies.

China is succeeding where the British, French and Japanese imperialist powers failed 🥠

This year saw the full operation of the China-Laos Railway, the first link in an ambitious Pan-Asian Rail Network that will integrate eight Southeast Asian nations designed to carry freight and millions of passengers.

🌏🦅 The United States and its allies are guilty of perpetrating a deliberate war of aggression against Russia that has long been in the planning works.

A study by the Rand Corporation published more than three years ago demonstrates incontestably that the war in Ukraine is in fact the manifestation of a bigger willful confrontation against Russia whereby the United States is attempting to weaken and subjugate Moscow.

What is happening is without doubt the culmination of U.S. long-held planning 💣

That puts a wholly different meaning on the current conflict in the Ukraine – now in its eighth month. This is not, as the Western governments and media would make out, an “unprovoked” assault on Ukraine and “Western democratic values” by “Russian aggression”.

The conflict has been deliberately fomented, stoked and now exacerbated by policy choices made by Washington and its NATO partners.

🇧🇦🇷🇸 The government in the Republic of Srpska, overseen by Milorad Dodik since 2006, has no doubt been an irritant to the collective West.

In the midst of several geopolitically important elections (Brasil, Bulgaria) which all took place last Sunday, the one in the Republic of Srpska may have gone somewhat under the radar. Arguably, however, it was no less important.

The Republic of Srpska is the Serbian entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it wields considerable influence and veto power over key policies (generally exercised to the detriment of Western objectives).

In the latest confrontation arising from the conflict in Ukraine, it has taken a strongly pro-Russian position, preventing the creation of a solid anti-Russian front of satellite statelets in the Balkans and vetoing imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation by Bosnia.

For all these, as well as a number of other compelling reasons, Srpska’s government has been targeted for destruction by the West 🦅

EURASIA IS ROCKIN’ IN ASTANA


Everything that matters is happening in Astana (bye, bye Nur-Sultan!)

The Kazakh capital is hosting the 6th Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA).

The roll-call is an Eurasian beauty - including Russia and Belarus (EAEU), West Asia (Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Palestine) and Central Asia (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan).

Crucial: Kazakh President Tokayev revealed they adopted a declaration to turn the forum into AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION.

So CICA will soon be working together side-by-side with the SCO, the EAEU and certainly BRICS+.

🌐📢 There is not one politician in Washington or among its Western lackeys who has the ability to think intelligently or reasonably.

To blame the United States and its NATO partners for the escalating war with Russia over Ukraine would be lambasted by Western media as “Kremlin propaganda”.

But what if the argument is made not by Russia, but by a virtual pantheon of respected U.S. scholars, thinkers, diplomats and geopolitical planners?

🇺🇸🇸🇦 Much was made of Joe Biden’s recent trip to Saudi Arabia where he met the country’s crown prince and attempted to walk away with a better deal on oil, leading up to America’s midterm elections.

The fist bump photo is still doing the rounds on social media, as is the speculation over who were the winners and losers of the trip.

For Biden, it was a lesson that future presidents should heed ☝️

Biden’s comment about making the country a “pariah” was simply stupid and misplaced, Martin Jay writes.

🌉 Russia’s devastating cruise missile attacks across Ukraine, including on the capital Kiev, show that for Moscow the gloves are now off in dealing with the NATO-armed regime.

Few people would want to gratuitously escalate a war. But when one side is relentlessly doing just that then further violence seems the only language to be understood.

🦅 NATO, apart from being a fake defense alliance and collective security system, is not only a company in the business of wars and arms sales.

🤞 Considering the other alternatives that await the Ukrainian people, it seems that making immediate peace with Moscow is the obvious course of action.

Ukraine was happy to oblige Moscow by proving to the world on its own that it has morphed into a full-blown terrorist state. But there is still time for Kiev to change course, if average Ukrainians have any say in it.
