Former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert argues the real enemy of Israel is not Iran Hezbollah or Hamas, but the crazy and messianic Israelis who want to ethnically clense the Palestinans

- Across Eurasia, from China, India to Hungary, states are pursuing multivector policies and economic diversification as supply chains are disrupted by the economic wars spiralling out of control
Georgia used as a Pawn in Great Power Rivalry - Lasha Kasradze & Prof Glenn Diesen on Georgian TV (Imedi)
- As a divided society in a divided Europe, Georgia will unfortunately remain a pawn in great power rivalry. As the Georgian people failed to vote as Washington and Brussels demanded, the "human rights NGOs" have been activated to overturn the election result
I miss the Cold War when a war between nuclear powers was feared and avoided at all costs
- Morality today is presented as not bowing to "nuclear blackmail"
The collapse of the front lines intensifies, which presents NATO with a dilemma: Start negotiations or go to war against Russia

- Do we still celebrate Israeli democracy when it votes for starvation & genocide?

The strange economic death of Europe:
- Buying Russian energy through India as an intermediary as an added cost, which makes European industries less competitive. Economic suicide by virtue-signalling.
- The US destroyed Europe's energy infrastructure to capture the market and sell their expensive energy. Now the US offers subsidies to uncompetitive European industries to relocate to the US. European leaders stay silent, do not address competing national interests, and do not even diversify economic dependencies sufficiently as they pride themselves on upholding the solidarity of liberal democracies. Truly amazing.
Decline of diplomacy:
Zelensky refuses to meet with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres because he attended the BRICS meeting in Kazan, while Israel has denied Guterres to enter their country

The "stalemate" narrative has collapsed, much like the Ukraine is winning narrative, the sanctions narrative, the Nord Stream narrative etc.
- We are now permitted to recognise that we are losing the war without being smeared by the media for repeating "Kremlin talking points"
The first step towards peace is mutual understanding. However, the obsession with narrative control results in understanding being condemned as "legitimising". In the first Cold War, it was at least permitted to explain the position of the opponent

Читать полностью…Reducing dependence on the US dollar and the SWIFT payment system is a "threat to democracy":
- In the 19th century, British liberals argued over whether its "liberal empire" supported or undermined liberalism. Today, the contradiction continues as America's "liberal hegemony" assumes that liberalism can only exist under US dominance
- To have, for example, India-China trade depend on America's permission conflicts with key liberal ideas of self-governance
We are witnessing an impressive demonstration of narrative control: For more than two years, the political-media elites have been chanting “Ukraine is winning” to keep the war going and denounced any dissent to their narrative as “Kremlin talking points” aimed to reduce support for the war. What was “Russian propaganda” yesterday is now suddenly the media consensus

"Unacceptable retaliatory tariffs"
- Should France decide what is an acceptable response to Frech tariffs?
German car manufacturer Volkswagen is for the first time in its 87-year history planning to close production sites in its home market. At least 3 manufacturing plants will be closed, the remaining plants will be downsized, and whoever keeps their job (after tens of thousands of staff lose their jobs) must accept a 10% reduction in salary and an end to their bonuses. The economic implosion of Germany will drag down the rest of Europe

The people of Georgia voted for the current government in an OSCE-approved election. But they voted the wrong way
- Now, the US/EU-financed "NGOs" will have their say by mobilising thousands of people to the streets on the principle that a loud minority should overturn elections

It is reported that several US Stratotankers (used to refuel fighter jets mid-air) are heading to the Middle East. If correct, this is a strong indication of a pending US/Israel attack on Iran
