Liberalism is a revolutionary ideology challenging traditional political and social structures. Liberalism therefore thrives in opposition to outdated forms of government such as absolute monarchy or communism. In victory, liberalism becomes unrestrained, exhausts itself and commits suicide.

The media is suddenly writing about mass desertions in the Ukrainian army. This was predictable and I predicted it three months ago in this article. The next step will be greater pincer attacks by Russia to encircle larger groups of Ukrainian soldiers.
- This should be obvious to everyone, yet the media's commitment to narratives makes it difficult to acknowledge reality

Will the US and EU threaten sanctions against South Korea, as was done against Georgia? The rules are not clear

South Korea’s Parliament votes to revoke the martial law, as it is allowed to do under South Korean law. The president has responded by sending special forces into parliament. The opposition calls it a coup d'état.

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for the Middle East, Dana Stroul, explains US occupation of Syria
- Behind the humanitarian rhetoric, there is always brutal power interests
- "Standing with the people" against their government is always the battle-cry of imperialists

The Rome Statute / ICC was not meant to be used against the West:
- The "rules-based international order" is based on sovereign inequality: Absolute sovereignty for the "garden" & limited sovereignty for the "jungle". I contrast, international law is based on sovereign equality
The global majority reduce reliance on the dollar as the US goes rogue with economic coercion, stealing sovereign funds and weaponising the dollar
- Instead of rebuilding trust in the dollar, Trump will bully the world into using the dollar. Systems based on coercion do not last
Translation: Zelensky pulls NATO into a direct war with Russia
- NATO expansionism was the source of the war, how can this be solution?
Former CIA Director Michael Morell:
- Imagine other countries speaking in this manner
- This is a consequence of ideological fundamentalism and the assumption of moral rightousness. They think of themselves as "good guys" fighting "bad guys", thus their aggression is always just
Our conversation with Jeffrey Sachs:
- Europe is experiencing war, de-industrialisation, socio-economic and political instability, excessive dependence on the US, and growing irrelevance in the wider world. What went wrong and can the decline be reversed?

President John F. Kennedy cautioned in 1963 against dividing the world into good versus evil as it undermines constructive dialogue and feeds the logic of war. His comments are especially relevant today as our politicians continue to make great steps towards nuclear war without a diplomatic off-ramp:
- “Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy--or of a collective death-wish for the world”

Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden's decade-long involvement in Ukraine implicitly entails pardoning himself.

After dominating the world for centuries, the Europeans do not recognise that they have been demoted from subjects to objects
- Convinced that they are US allies rather than vassals, Europe's political leaders believe that pursuing national interests undermines the collective West
- As the US pivots to Asia, the Europeans should diversify their economic partnerships to maximise economic strength and political autonomy. Instead, Europe further subordinates its politics and economics to prove its value to Washington. After destroying the continent, this entire political class will eventually be thrown out
Rise of the new German opposition:
- A new opposition emerges in response to Germany's de-industrialisation, political subordination, and renewed enthusiasm for war

Molotov cocktails are thrown at police near parliament in Georgia
- The media refers to it as "peaceful protests", yet if this were done in the US it would be labelled an "insurgency"
- The EU continues to support regime change by claiming it "stands with the people of Georgia", but the people of Georgia voted in their national elections. This is dangerous election interference that will discredit the EU for years to come. However, the EU narrative trumps common sense.
Desperate Escalations in the Middle East & Ukraine: Alastair Crooke, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
- Thousands of Turkish-backed jihadists invade Aleppo immediately after the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Russia’s Oreshnik missiles change NATO’s calculations
https://glenndiesen.substack.com/p/desperate-escalations-in-middle-east
The EU and US have activated their "NGOs" to overturn Georgia's election outcome:
- When the Georgian police cracks down on the violence, the media will bombard us with images of attacks on "peaceful protesters", which will legitimise further interference to topple the government
Trump should ask himself why anyone would want dollars when they can be stolen at any time. The US should return what it stole, end the weaponisation of its currency, and rebuild trust. Trump cannot threaten his way out of diversification as it only convinces countries that the US is an unreliable actor

Germany continues its economic suicide:
- Germany is de-industrialising, yet still buys Russian oil from India at a much higher cost, and buys expensive American LNG after the Americans destroyed their energy infrastructure. Germany gave Joe Biden a medal even as the US Inflation Reduction Act relocates German industries to the US. This is truly amazing.
Only 16% of Ukrainians would vote for Zelensky if they are allowed to have elections
- Yet, "helping Ukraine" is exclusively interpreted by our politicians and media as backing Zelensky, who takes his orders from Washington
- The suffering in Ukraine is real and everyone should have empathy, although our politicians and media will only use your empathy to mobilise support for policies that exacerbate the suffering. Appealing to the best in humanity to do the worst is at the heart of war propaganda
The new Westphalian system creates a world order that includes non-Western nations as sovereign equals.
