I do not understand one thing. If Trump really wants to contain China, angering the EU is not a smart move. The EU is part of the Eurasian continent, and in the past, there were forces within the EU that wanted to collaborate with China against U.S. wishes. How can the U.S. contain China if the EU starts cooperating with China? The forces in the EU that sought to collaborate with China against U.S. interests were discussed by Professor John Mearsheimer in a debate. The video of that debate was included in my post on December 31, 2022, titled: “Europe… Read more »

Here you have fragment of this debate between John Mearsheimer and Carl Bildt about which I was writing about: 2:05:58 “Yeah yeah, uh, I think the United States is deeply committed to containing, if not rolling back, Chinese power. That containment strategy has two dimensions: one is a military dimension, and the other is an economic dimension. In terms of the military dimension, the Europeans are going to play hardly any role at all—I think we agree on that. Where the Europeans are going to matter is on the economic front, and this is a very tricky issue. There are… Read more »

Because the Multi-Polar world is on the way in, and the American Empire is on the way out. No attempts to play footsie with the EU or anyone else will change that. So America might as well pull in its horns and concentrate on its own local affairs.

Which does not include foolish wars fought all over the globe.

I completely agree with you. The real question is: will the Western capitalist oligarchy agree as well? I highly doubt they will surrender global control so easily without resorting to war. Just because I point something out doesn’t mean I agree with it. So while I 100% agree with your comment, that doesn’t mean I won’t highlight what is happening and what could happen. Also, I think you’re overlooking something when you say, “So America might as well pull in its horns and concentrate on its own local affairs.” America has long been built on empire, and the key question… Read more »

That is correct. There are many different forces involved including Bill Gates depopulation project. So how it will all shake out in the end is problematical, but I don’t think America has much of a choice about certain things. They may not like it, but they will have to deal with it. Weapons have become very powerful. WWII was bad enough, but a serious confrontation today would be off the charts. Therefore, I think the “America Dream” (of the Oligarchs, not the common man) of running the world for their benefit is just that. A dream. I hope they wake… Read more »

What I am most afraid of is that my assumption in the second comment is correct—that there is a higher level of control we don’t see, with both America and China being controlled by people connected to figures like Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. In other words, those eugenics-supporting, Malthusian elites from the WEF and the Club of Rome. For now, they have suppressed the development of nuclear energy to reduce the population. But with the rise of AI—and soon, rapid advancements in robotics thanks to AI—they may decide to reduce the population even further. A large-scale war or a… Read more »

There is also the issue—and the possibility—that Whitney Webb and I have spoken about: the existence of a higher, unseen global cabal that operates above all of this. The whole West vs. BRICS divide and conflict could simply be theater for ordinary people. Certain things make me question the supposed rivalry. While they talk about their differences and appear to be in conflict, there are some strange connections between them that suggest it could all be a show. I have previously compared this to the competition between Pepsi and Coke—while they compete for market control, they also collaborate to expand… Read more »

The thought that popped into my head regarding FT. Knox was a repeat of Giraldo Rivera opening Capone’s vault in Chicago.
