Donald Trump: ‘We're actually making money off the Russia Ukraine war because NATO is buying our equipment.’ From promising to end the Ukraine proxy war and bring humanity back from the brink of nuclear annihilation… To profiting off of the carnage because the neocons sold it to him like a business proposal.

🇺🇸🇻🇪‘Maduro is sitting on top of the world's largest oil reserves, minerals that will fuel the 21st century economy, and he's in bed with our strategic competitors.' Former US Ambassador James Story blatantly exposes the real reason why the US is about to launch a regime change war on Venezuela… It isn’t about ‘narco-trafficking’, it certainly is not about democracy…it’s about Monroe Doctrine imperial domination, to steal Venezuela’s resources for US corporations. What is about to come is daylight robbery of the Venezuelan people, for those who think this is some problem in a distant country, eventually Washington will come for your country.

Tel Aviv, Israel this morning after Iranian missile arrivals Netanyahu thought with the combined might of American and Israeli air power, the Iranian government would collapse, and Iran’s military capabilities would be decimated… Instead, three weeks into the war, after thousands upon thousands of US-Israeli airstrikes, Iran is still firing and striking Israel at will. The lofty assumptions Netanyahu sold the neocons in Washington have come back to haunt him.

The US🇺🇸 has reportedly even bombed the mausoleum of Hugo Chavez, the former leader of Venezuela’s🇻🇪 Bolivarian Revolution. This is the most heinous representation of the US’ hatred for the achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution. Not even the dead are safe from the US’ colonial barbarism.

In another victory for China’s famed ‘do nothing daft and win’ strategy… China’s🇨🇳 global favourability has surpassed the United States🇺🇸 for the first time in 20 years. China now has 46% median favourability across 20 countries polled, while the US has a median of 36%. While the US has used its superpower status to spend trillions on bullying, bombing, invading, sabotaging, and lecturing the rest of the world… China spend its trillions on trading, investing, building infrastructure for countries through the Belt & Road Initiative. As a result it is seen as a force for stability and development. The US, through all of its daft wars and empire building has only fostered global resentment and is increasingly seen as a dangerous rogue state. Source: Pew Research

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: ‘Sanctions tend to hurt those who impose them more. There is some damage caused by sanctions, that’s true. They froze $300 billion of our assets, but we now have over $500 billion.’ Not only did sanctions against Russia fail in their objective of collapsing the Russian economy, they also accelerated de-dollarisation and a realisation by the rest of the world that de-dollarisation is essential to escape the impacts of Washington’s economic bullying.

"We're not building for peacetime. We are pivoting the Pentagon and our industrial base to a wartime footing." -🇺🇸War Secretary Pete Hegseth Russia🇷🇺 be warned, China🇨🇳 be warned, the entire global south be warned. Washington warns it’s preparing for resource wars to save its rapidly dying hegemony. If the US is allowed to succeed, Venezuela🇻🇪 will be the first to fall, along with its oil reserves. Then will come the holdout states in Latin America and the Caribbean that haven’t bent the knee and given up their countries resources. Next will be Africa. If BRICS, and the rest of the global south nations do not form a mechanism to unite against this common threat, Washington will pick each target off one by one with either the CIA’s playbook of destabilisation and coups, or with overwhelming firepower.

Zelensky may be about to commit off-the-rails levels of stupidity, saying that he has been informed by several countries that their officials will attend Russia’s Victory Day parade… His response? ‘We do not recommend it.’ An implicit threat to bomb Moscow on Victory Day, perhaps the most sacred day of the year in the Russian calendar, and a sacred day in the calendars of many former Soviet countries. If Zelensky is indeed stupid enough to attack the Victory Day parade, the response will be unimaginable destruction in Kiev, and perhaps the targeting of him and members of his regime.

Yoav Gallant admitted that the Hannibal Directive was implemented on October 7th, which allowed for the Israeli military to kill civilians to prevent them from being taken as hostages. Never forget that the mainstream media in the US, UK, and EU thought you were stupid enough to believe that the militia of a concentration camp with light weapons, improvised rockets, and no air force, was capable of this level of destruction and carnage. While independent and alternative media outlets covered every admission of the implementation of the Hannibal Directive by Israeli soldiers and military officials, mainstream media refused to cover it, called the reports conspiracy theories, or outright omitted any mention of the Hannibal Directive from their coverage.

The Telegraph reports that the US doesn’t have enough missiles to return to an all-out war on Iran. At the same time, the US’ emergency oil reserve has fallen to its lowest level since 1983. Military force didn’t work against Iran the first time in fulfilling any of the US’ objectives, and now the US has even less military force as Trump tries Round 2 of the same, failed option. Trying military force for a second time will only make Iran more intransigent and unwilling to negotiate… Which will mean that the global economy and the American economy is at an even greater risk as global oil reserves have been spent on artificially keeping oil prices lower. As those reserves run out, that ability evaporates. The blustering stupidity of American neoconservative foreign policy.

Israel’s Beersheba steel complex is on fire after the latest Iranian missile arrivals Over a month into the war, Iran is still able to announce what it will be targeting, launch missiles, evade air defences, and strike targets in Israel. All the goals of the war have failed: IRGC command and control is still effective Iran’s missile capabilities have not been degraded, in fact, they have more than what the US and Israel estimated Iran’s government did not collapse under the pressure of this enormous US-Israeli bombing campaign Iran had better intelligence than either the US or Israel expected While the US and Israel suffer the consequences of their own arrogance, the Gulf States, which did not want this war, also suffer the consequences, as Iran exercises its own Samson Option of creating a regional war and economic chaos. What was meant to be a quick Venezuela-style regime change war has turned into a quagmire. If the US is foolish enough to escalate this with boots on the ground, it will end the same way as Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq did: Total failure, and American lives lost.

UNCONFIRMED: Ukraine has claimed that Russia🇷🇺 launched an ICBM at targets in Dnipropetrovsk, the reported footage shows multiple warheads landing. If this is true, this is the first time Russia has used an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile in war, and the first time in history that an ICBM has been used in warfare. Russia may have just demonstrated that for 2 years, Russia hadn’t even begun to bring out the most powerful weapons in its arsenal. With NATO hellbent on using Ukraine as a launchpad for long-range missile strikes against Russia… Ukraine is about to find out the true destructive extent of Russia’s capabilities

European NATO countries will remain Washington’s vassals on leashes, since their leadership is too unimaginative to think outside their dogmatic, self-sabotaging box.

The result’s of Benjamin Netanyahu’s delusions: Reported footage shows an Iranian missile arrives in Israel’s Noet Havav Industrial Zone…over a month into the war With over-the-top rhetoric, Netanyahu and Trump told the world Iran’s missile capabilities had been obliterated… Yet on a daily basis, Iran still continues to strike Israel at will, as Israel’s interceptor missiles continue to deplete. Not only has Netanyahu’s messianic extremism caused unprecedented destruction and destabilisation in Iran and the GCC, now the consequences of his hubris arrive in Israel in the form of Iranian missiles on a daily basis.

PUTIN🇷🇺: ‘If Ukraine joins NATO and attempts to bring Crimea back by military means, it means the European countries will automatically be pulled into a war conflict with Russia. Of course, NATO and Russia's potentials are incomparable. We understand it. But we also understand that Russia is one of the leading nuclear states. And with some modern components, it even outperforms many. There will be no winners. And you will be pulled into this conflict against your will. You won't even have time to blink your eye when you execute Article 5.’

It only takes a decision from the German government today and tomorrow we turn on the tap, but they aren’t making it because Washington says no.” Europe’s geniuses have now completely banned cheaper Russian gas so they can import more expensive LNG from the US, the country profiting from their deindustrialisation and the country that is actively seeking to annex the territory of a NATO country. A masterclass in economics and geopolitics by Europe!

Who did it? Russians? The Galactic Empire? Martians? If you’re watching this as a young Japanese child, you wouldn’t know thanks to the perpetual trembling cowardice of Japan’s leaders, who are permanently in a state of kneeling before Washington since 1945.

US-Iran history they don’t teach you: On this day in 1988, the US warship USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 665 with two surface to air missiles, killing all 290 passengers on board. The US refused to issue an official apology or acknowledged wrongdoing, and official investigations were treated as an afterthought. Months after the tragedy on the campaign trail, President George H. W. Bush said “I will never apologise for the United States. I don’t care what the facts are.”

The daughter of CIA asset Maria Corina Machado is now publicly mourning and romanticising Venezuela🇻🇪 before Hugo Chavez. The Venezuela she cries for is the Venezuela where only a small minority enjoyed wealth and opulence. Poverty before Hugo Chavez came to power was at 70.8% in 1996, reduced to 21% by 2010 Extreme poverty was at 40% in 1996, and was reduced to 7.3% in 2010 by Chavez. Then came the US’ economic warfare against Venezuela. Maria Corina Machado and her family want to defeat the Bolivarian Revolution, which is under siege, so a small parasitic elite can enjoy wealth and opulence again as the natural resources of her country are plundered by the USA.

Palestine’s Dr. Hanan Ashrawi: ‘The most obscene form of violence, and intimidation, and terrorism is the [Israeli] occupation. Because the occupation holds an entire civilian population hostage… And the victim is accused of committing atrocities if they lash out in any way and say we don’t want to be victims. The atrocity is the occupation itself.’

🇺🇸🇨🇳Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: 'The United States, as the old world leader, has now been matched and in many ways overtaken by China. That alone represents a fundamental disruption of the global order. This shift is deeply disruptive because it reflects a fundamental change in the balance of power and in the international order. This is not a temporary phenomenon. It marks the end of US led geopolitics and, more fundamentally, the end of Western led geopolitics. Europe and the West more broadly were the dominant force in world politics from roughly 1750 until the beginning of this century. That era is now over because of China's rise and the broader rise of Asia.'

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: ‘US🇺🇸 elites need to understand the world has changed…the most sanctioned country in the world is Russia, yet Russia became the largest economy in Europe.’ What is the point of sanctioning Russian oil? Even if it actually works, energy prices rise in the US and slows economic growth. Sanctions pressure hasn’t worked for over a decade, Europe has been devastated by the effects of its own sanctions, and now the US wants to try the same pointless self-sanctioning strategy instead of coming to a reasonable compromise and taking into account Russia’s national security concerns for the first time.
