As Dr Noam Chomsky has often remarked, when the US government calls any other government “democratic” it means that that government is unquestioningly obedient to Washington and acts in the interests of American corporations. Whereas when Washington calls another government a “dictatorship”, it means that it governs in the interests of its own nation and its people.
Good points.
Even the most peaceful of governments would hesitate to sell materials that will be used to create weapons to use against it.
If Mr Trump decides to impose prohibitive tariffs on Chinese goods, he will prevent most US citizens from buying those goods affordably. Many such goods are not even made in the USA. There are many other very large markets into which China can sell.
I am looking forward to seeing the USA try to resort to force, in which case it will get a bloody nose and lose many teeth.
If Israel really does want to chill its hostility to Iran, it can mean only one thing: they are convinced that they stand to lose if they continue their aggression. Which makes good sense, with Russia and possibly China standing behind Iran.
The scenario of John Michael Greer’s “Twilight’s Last Gleaming” is still very plausible in its general outline, if not in exact detail. It’s well worth reading.
As Mr Mercouris observes, a leopard does not change its spots. But neither does it attack a rhinoceros.
A honey badger will attack anything…
Especially one that’s been trapped in a “honey pot”.
Poseidon is the strategic weapon to end all strategic weapons.
Alexander, you agree with Putin saying that “at least Trump had made attempts to broker peace agreements throughout the world,”.??
What has Trump DONE for peace?
Pretending and Lying about pursuing peace is NOT “attempting to broker peace”.
Sending weapons and Intel to Ukraine?
Sending weapons and Intel to Israel?
Bombing Yemen?
Bombing Iran?
Assassinating people ?
Alexander, you need to get over your delusional “Daddy Syndrome” for Donald Trump.
It seems that Putin is having another Angela Merkel moment.
To believe there can be any sort of honest agreement with a psychopath and pathological Liar such as Donald Trump is delusional.
As that old saying goes, “Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me”. Putin has been fooled far more than twice. It’s getting to the point that you wonder if he’s in on the game.
This Machado woman is calling for the overthrow of the duly elected president of Venezuela to put herself in his place. Such an event would cause widespread bloodshed and suffering, not something one would associate with peace and I’m not sure why everyone is pussyfooting around the fact that she is a deep state plant with no legitimacy whatsoever.
