China Future Shock
Constantin von Hoffmeister presents China as the awakened Dasein of a people who meet the West's challenge not with reaction but by transforming it into a torch of sovereignty and multipolar rebirth — where Schmitt's exception, Dugin's civilizational Being, and Niekisch's anti-liberal fire converge beneath a rising dragon.

Fact: an increasingly isolated US in case of failure of Trump's policies will realign with globalists rather than pursuing the current mild nationalist agenda.
@eurasianchoice
Russia's rhetoric towards Trump is changing.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has carefully (so far) reminded Trump that Russia has its own understanding of what is happening.
"The US position on Ukraine now completely lacks the requirement to solve problems related to the root causes of the conflict, it must be overcome. Moscow takes Washington's proposals on Ukraine seriously, but cannot accept them simply as they are," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said.
Not a scandal yet, just a reminder. What "peace" means in the case of Ukraine is the cessation of NATO expansion, neutral status, and a reset of at least the public contour of power in Ukraine. Denazification, in other words.
This is the second sign over the past week that the agreements between the United States and Russia will not be easy. The first was Trump's criticism of Vladimir Putin's proposal to introduce external governance in Ukraine. A local crisis is expected, since we had to start the SMO, problems between the countries have accumulated through the roof.
Since the issue of the effectiveness of the moratorium on strikes on energy infrastructure (poor efficiency) was discussed at the Russian Security Council today (as it was said aloud), Washington has sent a clear signal: it's getting boring to look for "checkers". In addition, a high level summit between Russia and China has already been scheduled for May. If Trump has something significant to offer Russia, then it's time.
In this regard, I recall my post on the scandal with Zelensky in the Oval Office. While many channels were vying to shout that Zelensky was wrong, and that, they say, one should not behave like this in a "decent society," I was one of the first to write that, on the contrary, one should take an example from Zelensky, because even with his meager political weight, he forced Trump to take himself into account and he hit away with it...
That is, he behaved brazenly, like a man, and did not pose as a political figure in front of Danila. And a month later, we see that this strategy of behavior is fully justified - Trump still cannot break Zelensky, he will wax the agreement on the extraction of REM as long as he can.
Here is a fragment of that post from March 2:
"At the same time, a logical question arises - if Trump's spit is in the wrong place, then maybe we should show more restraint and perseverance, of course, within the framework of diplomatic protocol and the politics of the world's living rooms, in defending our own position and putting the squeeze on Trump"
And here is a fragment of the post from March 5th:
"That is, if Zelensky behaves quite brazenly and confidently, and it may well happen that he will put the squeeze on Trump with the help of the PP from the State Duma, then why are we looking at the new US administration from the bottom up in the public space? We breed polities. What for? The tougher we get, the tougher we put forward our conditions in the public field, the more concessions we will get from the Americans."
So the Russian Foreign Ministry is now reproducing, in fact, the same approach as mine a month ago, only in a more correct form, typical of cultural MFA staff.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: In September 2024, a video surfaced of Trump stating that he plans to use sanctions 'as little as possible' because they undermine the U.S. dollar's influence and dominance. He warned that relying on sanctions risks losing Iran, Russia, and allowing China to strengthen its currency
Since taking office, Trump has imposed new sanctions against Iran at least on ten different occasions, with the announcement of new sanctions on a weekly basis, if not daily.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Pure manipulation.
Deep State claims Russian forces captured 133 sq. km of Ukrainian territory in March, suggesting a slowdown. In reality, the opposite is true.
Russian forces liberated nearly 700 sq. km in the Kursk region, where the heaviest fighting occurred and where Ukraine suffered its biggest losses. Russian activity actually increased, setting a new record.
But data is deliberately downplayed to convince Ukrainians and Western partners that Syrskiy and Zelensky have "stabilized" the front. Kiev manufactures false hope to justify prolonging the war.

⚔️US ‘seriously considering’ Iran’s indirect nuclear talks proposal as Trump threatens bombing – report
The Trump administration considers direct talks like those proposed by the president in his letter to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to have ‘a higher chance of success’, but ‘isn’t ruling out’ okaying the Iranian proposal of having Oman serve as mediator for indirect negotiations, US officials informed on the deliberations said.
“After the exchange of letters we are now exploring next steps in order to begin conversations and trust building with the Iranians,” an official told Axios.
Trump threatened to bomb Iran in a manner “the likes of which they have never seen before” last week, with Khamenei warning Monday that any aggression will be met with a “heavy blow in return.”

My personal business story in China published by Shine >
When I first encountered manufacturing in China, it was a realm brimming with potential but saddled with the Western view that it was nothing more than a producer of cheap, mass-produced goods.
In a small sense, I have been involved in a subsequent transformation that turned it into a powerhouse capable of crafting everything from everyday essentials to high-end products.
To look at this remarkable change, we have to go back 20 or more years, when there were far fewer foreigners in China. Back then, many people in my home country of Switzerland would ask for help in sourcing products from China. E-commerce platforms like Alibaba didn't exist yet.
The common approach was to travel to China in person, attend trade fairs and try to establish personal relationships with suppliers – unlike today, where digital platforms streamline sourcing and quality-control companies provide an added layer of security.
Those initial days were all about affordability. Buyers flocked to China seeking out low-cost goods and factories that delivered with speed and scale.
My first venture into product sourcing was an order for men's underwear. It came from a friend whose wife worked for a major mail-order company specializing in underwear and lingerie.
Through a Chinese waitress named Naiky, whom I met while she was studying in Switzerland, I made contact with her mother in China, who had experience in the textile industry. I was amazed at how quickly I received a quote and counter-sample, sparking my interest in the process.
That prompted me to learn about Chinese manufacturing from scratch, from product specifications and industry processes to customer standards.
In textiles, some fabrics hit the mark; others fell short. It was a shaky start, not just for me but also for an industry still learning its strengths. China could produce quality, but it needed clarity and commitment from partners.

The only way Trump can really help the USA is by embracing nationalism fully, creating an alliance with nationalists worldwide, and completely abandoning globalism so that not only it cannot return to power in the country but also make it an enemy ideology like communism in 1945-1989 era. A US war against globalism will enrich the country like nothing else because it will not have to share the profits with its vassals.
In few words it makes no sense for the US to have the EU as competitor for resources inside its own sphere of influence while it can simply get all of them by eliminating it very simply given the current weakness of EU countries.
Will he do it?
No, for as long as he listens to neocons, other NATO leaders, corrupt think tanks, the WEF, and so on... before taking vital decisions.

Iran warns the United States that it will create nuclear weapons in the event of an American attack.
"If the United States makes a mistake on Iran's nuclear issue, it will leave us no choice but to create nuclear weapons, even though Tehran itself has repeatedly stated that it does not plan to do so," advisor to Iran's Supreme leader Ali Khamenei, a member of the Assembly for Determining State Expediency, said in a live broadcast on Iran's state television.
The signal is characteristic. Especially in combination with the statements of IRGC Air Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who recalled that there are about 50,000 American troops in the range of Iran's missiles. Both remarks were made in response to Trump's threat to provide Iran with massive bombing in the event of Tehran's rejection of the nuclear deal.
A favorable interpretation for Tehran looks like this: Iran has burned down a bit, because if there are no nuclear weapons now, then it will take some time to create them – having only the necessary amount of uranium is not enough. Without field tests, you can be confident in the performance of nuclear weapons only if you have been helped to assemble it by competent specialists who know exactly how to achieve the necessary parameters without preliminary real explosions. This means that nuclear weapons are in almost ready-made form, and they only need to be screwed and put into use.
If Iran is really so naive that it threatens to start creating nuclear weapons only after the start of US strikes on its territory, then this looks like amazing stupidity. Nuclear weapons are the only thing that could deter the United States and Israel, and if they don't exist, then why limit themselves to a surface air operation and metered–dose strikes? It would be more logical to beat Iran so that it would not be able to complete the creation of nuclear weapons.
Let me remind you that on September 28 last year, I predicted that Iran was probably very close to developing nuclear weapons, which is why it is not rushing to escalate relations with Israel, because it understands that in the event of a serious mess, Israel and the United States will have nothing with which to respond, and they will bomb it with everything they can, including Israeli nuclear weapons.
That is why in September and December, Israel was hitting its proxy forces without hesitation, while Tehran remained silent. There is only one reason why Iran allowed this to be done, and that is to obtain nuclear weapons, which can put an end to Israel's prospects. It seems that the Ayatollahs are closer to their goal than ever. And yes, it will radically reformat the entire Middle East.

Ukrainian sources have started to panic because of the Russian troops' spurt in Kondrashovka, a village three kilometers from Kupyansk. Russian Armed Forces assault groups have reportedly taken up positions in the built-up area and are fighting to expand the controlled zone.
Taking into account the terrain and logistical interchanges, the main threat to the AFU is a breakthrough to Kupyansk from the north with access to the southern end of the Oskol River. Such a maneuver creates a risk of operational coverage of the city from two directions and destabilization of the entire defensive line on this section of the front. The Russian troops are also standing in Sinkovka and Kalinovo and will press from this side if necessary.
The AFU is trying to stabilize the situation by transferring reserves and strengthening the borders between Kondrashivka and the northeastern outskirts of Kupyansk along the P79 highway. The situation is still uncertain, but if things continue the way they are going now, it will be hard for the Ukrainian army to hold Kupyansk.
