Jeffrey Sachs names the driver of the wars: Washington and Europe still believe they run the world. That hegemonic mindset is at work in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, and Venezuela—and it is now dragging the West into decline. “The reason we’re in these wars is basically because the United States and Europe are determined to maintain their hegemonic prerogatives. For centuries, the West—so-called, mainly the empires of Europe and from the late 19th century the United States—judged that they effectively ran the world. Mr. Bessent, our Treasury Secretary, who is a sheer vulgarian, the worst imaginable that we’ve ever had, basically says in the Financial Times today, ‘We run the world. We determine who does what. We determine who trades. We will destroy whichever countries we want.’ That’s the mindset. That mindset is at work in Ukraine. It’s at work in the genocide in Gaza. It’s at work in the war against Iran. It was at work, of course, in the kidnapping and confiscation of Venezuela’s oil revenues earlier this year. The mindset is we run the world. Yes, it’s a little bit nasty because there are these pesky wannabe challengers like Russia, Iran, or China that don’t want us to run the world, but effectively we run the world, and we’re going to tell the world what to do. That’s the mindset. It’s so out of date, so absurd, so delusional that it drives a set of policies—not only the war, but trade measures, protectionism, and so forth—that are leading the West into not only relative decline as these other places rise, but perhaps serious absolute decline at some point, because all of the claims that are made for hegemony and all of the overreach are leading to a buildup of burdens fiscally, in terms of debt, in terms of claims on trade, in terms of cutting off economic linkages around the world, including now the trade war between the United States and Canada, for God’s sake, which was launched just two days ago, that I think will put both Europe and the United States into very serious economic crisis in the coming years. Again, Europe is in a crisis right now. The United States is in what I would regard as a massive financial bubble due to the AI valuations and the stock market, which keep things afloat for the moment. But it’s a bubble that I think is going to burst.” Hegemony is not strength. It is overreach. The wars, the sanctions, and the bubble are the same system eating itself.

President Prabowo Subianto (Prabowo Subianto) at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok: trade and finance have been turned into weapons. Indonesia will not live inside a single settlement system. Development for the people is the security doctrine. “Distinguished participants, we meet at a difficult moment. Today, trade many times is used as a weapon. Supply chains are redrawn by suspicion. Finance is divided by geography. Precisely because the world is fragmenting, every bridge built here in food, energy, science, logistics and trade is a practical answer. In global finance, resilience requires more than one functioning system. We should not rely on a single financial architecture because if one system is disrupted, another must remain able to facilitate the flow of funds that keeps trade moving. Without reliable payment and settlement channels, trade itself can be paralyzed. This is not about replacing one system with another, but about ensuring that another global financial system can operate alongside existing arrangements to preserve continuity, stability, and confidence in international trade. Indonesia’s foreign policy is free and active. We determine our own national interest, and we want to contribute actively to peace. At SPIEF last year, I said to you, Indonesia does not want to join any military alliance, but we seek to join an economic alliance. Our FTA within the Eurasian Economic Union is exactly that: not an alliance against anyone, but a partnership for the prosperity of everyone. Indonesia works to the east, west, north, and south as a sovereign and equal partner. For us, 1,000 friends are too few. One enemy is too many. We came to St. Petersburg to make friends. And now we come to Vladivostok to turn the friendship into pragmatic results. The Global South is not a new bloc. It is a constituency for fairness, for a fair share of prosperity and a fair voice in writing global rules. Our position is clear and consistent. Indonesia stands ready to support every sincere effort towards a just and lasting peace wherever conflict persists. Indonesia and Russia have been friends for many decades. Indonesia remembers the support of the then Soviet Union during the early years of our young republic. We remember that history, and we never forget our friends. But friendship cannot live only in history. Our generation must have the courage to write a new chapter. Let us be equal. Let us be independent. Let us work together mutually for the benefit of both our countries, and let us be measured by what our efforts can deliver for our peoples. Peace is not separate from development. Hunger, unemployment, injustice and humiliation are the raw materials of conflict. A Far East that provides opportunity, countries that feed their children, and an Asia-Pacific that trades openly are real and durable contributions to peace. Sovereignty makes peace possible. Peace makes development possible. And development for the benefit of people makes the peace endure. That is why the theme of this forum is not merely an economic slogan. It actually is a doctrine of security. I understand that the Russian people have a saying: «Один в поле не воин» there can be no victory if you fight alone. In Indonesia we have the same saying. We say gotong royong: any heavy burden becomes light when we carry it together. We have different languages, but we have the same ancient wisdom from our forefathers. Everything we have discussed today—the tariff lines covered by the FTA, transport corridors, payment systems, industrial projects—exists for one reason: so that a fisherman in Indonesia and a shipbuilder in Russia can each look at their children and believe that tomorrow will be better than today. Our young people will not ask which bloc we belong to. They will ask what we built for their future. Let us build the direct shipping route. Let us open the direct flight. Let us make our free trade agreement work from its very first day. Let us double our trade. Let us produce food, fertilizer, energy, medicine, and technology together. Let our sovereign wealth funds Danantara and the RDIF finance strategic projects together. And let us ensure that every agreement announced in Vladivostok produces a result that our people can see and can feel. Let it be said of this forum that in a season when some others were building walls, we built bridges. And let it be said of our generation that in difficult times we chose cooperation, development for the benefit of our peoples. We chose the greatest good for the greatest many. And by doing so, we help to build lasting peace and prosperity. Thank you. Terima kasih. спасибо большое. As-salamu alaykum. May peace be upon us all. Thank you.” The dollar weapon is the last instrument of a failing order. A second settlement system, and production that feeds people, is the reply. In a season when some build walls, Indonesia and Russia are building bridges—and that is the foundation for lasting peace.

Jeffrey Sachs: the West is still living in an empire it no longer commands. Ten percent of the world’s population does not get to dictate to the other ninety. India, China, and the BRICS majority are not asking for permission. “We live in a mindset in the United States of US privilege. Even Europe, 80 years after the end of the European empires, lives in a mindset of privilege. We get to tell the others what to do. That is not a multipolar world. That’s the old world of empire. I think we are moving to a multipolar world because India is the third-largest economy in the world. China is the number-one economy. By mid-century, India will overtake the United States in size and will be the second-largest economy in the world. So the idea that the West, which has about 10 percent of the world population, can dictate to the rest is passé. But the United States doesn’t get that yet. We still have a Treasury Secretary who declares economic D-Days against the rest of the world. I like the maturity of the BRICS and SCO saying, no, it’s not like that. Calm down. We are actually the majority of the world, and we don’t accept it that way. And that’s why I really hope India doesn’t get caught up in US games like the Quad or the US–Israel games. It’s just a big mistake for India. India is too great a country for that.” The United States still declares economic D-Day against the world. India has a choice: the Quad or the majority. India is too great a country for the Atlanticist death spiral.

Larry Johnson (Sonar21): Right now, the Iranians have the advantage. They only have to hit a total of nine targets over and over and over in order to force the United States to abandon its presence in the Persian Gulf: the two bases in Kuwait, the Fifth Fleet headquarters in the airfield in Bahrain, Al Udeid Air Force Base in Qatar, Al Dhafra Air base in the United Arab Emirates, and Prince Hassan and Muwaffaq Salti air bases in Jordan. If Iran basically destroys those bases, makes them uninhabitable and unusable, the reality is the only thing left for the United States is to withdraw its combat air forces into Israel. And then, all of a sudden, Israel is in the trick box. Now Iran is using third-generation Beidou targeting. Beidou is the global positioning satellite system, the Chinese replacement for GPS. And the West has expressed surprise, shock, and alarm over the accuracy of the Iranian missiles. Can you point to me one damn agreement anywhere that the United States has made with Russia, China, or Iran that it has not broken? You cannot. The United States, as Sergey Lavrov has frequently said, is agreement-incapable.

Seyed Mohammad Marandi: If they want to destroy Iran’s key infrastructure, that’s a possibility. But then Iran will destroy all key infrastructure in this region—everything. All the oil and gas installations in the Persian Gulf region and in the Caucasus will be gone, finished. They won’t be damaged; they’ll be destroyed. And that will mean that the key infrastructure of the United States will collapse. The world will collapse because we will enter a severe global economic depression. If that’s what the United States wants, that’s what it will get. But the world will know that it’s the United States that did this. It will know that the Zionists did this. It will know that Netanyahu did this. Because Iran does not want war. Iran does not want to expand the war. We want to live in peace. We want the rights of Palestinians, the Lebanese, and the people of Syria to be restored.

Sergey Lavrov calls von der Leyen “Führer-Ursula”: she takes powers Brussels was never given, tells Europeans to suffer after Nord Stream, and treats a ban on the Russian language as a European value. “Ursula von der Leyen — we call her Führer-Ursula — who is trying to concentrate in the European Commission those competencies and powers that, by decisions of the entire European Union, were never transferred to Brussels and remain with the national governments. This tendency is very pronounced in her. Several years ago, when we launched the special military operation, answering a question about what to do after the Nord Stream pipelines — the Russian gas pipelines — were blown up, she said: ‘Yes, our voters will suffer because energy prices will be significantly higher, but we must suffer so that the Ukrainian people can defend our European values.’ No one asked her what those European values are. If a legislative ban on the Russian language in education, culture, everyday life, and the media reflects European values, then we kindly invite Nazism back to Europe.”

Alex Krainer (Alex (Sasha) Krainer) explains why Saudi Arabia, after watching the West freeze nearly $300 billion of Russian assets, is now paying a protection racket to Turkey and Pakistan. The Gulf states understand their own trillions in Western-held sovereign wealth are next. The new alliance is not about defending Israel—it is about acquiring new protectors before the imperial system loots everything. Host Zulfikar, who has direct access to the relevant deliberations, confirms the assessment as simply “protection money.” Krainer: “Everybody saw how the Western powers didn’t hesitate a moment to freeze almost 300 billion dollars’ worth of Russian assets in the Western financial institutions. If they are brazen enough, if they are ruthless enough to do this to the number-one nuclear power in the world, then what is Saudi Arabia to them? It’s nothing. It’s a maggot they will squash whenever they choose to do so. Saudi Arabia not only has far more than Russia—last I looked they had something like 800 or 900 billion dollars in direct assets in the United States—but they also have these enormous sovereign wealth funds. The combined assets of the Saudi, UAE, Qatari, Bahraini and Kuwaiti sovereign wealth funds in the West are something close to five trillion dollars. One thing we can take as a near-100% certainty is that before the Western empire fails, it is going to loot all of that money and take it for its own ends. After Ukraine and after what they did to Russia, these rulers may be corrupt, they may be brutal, they may be ruthless and oppressive, but they are not stupid. They see the writing on the wall. They see what is coming their way. The way I interpret this new alliance between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia is that Saudi Arabia is deciding to pay a protection racket to Turkey and Pakistan. Two of these three nations are major military powers; one of them is a pipsqueak. Why would Pakistan and Turkey sign an alliance with Saudi Arabia—an attack on one is an attack on all? If somebody attacks Turkey, is Saudi Arabia going to come to their aid? That’s a joke. I think the Saudis initiated this by saying: we are already screwed. We are going to get skinned alive. All our sovereign asset funds—we are probably never going to see them again. So what we can do is, since you are already at least on paper allied with the United States, you can become our protectors. We will pay you for it with these funds that are in the United States. If we say ‘send us a trillion dollars,’ Trump is going to say no—why don’t we send you a trillion dollars’ worth of Patriot missiles that we will deliver in 2046? But if Turkey or Pakistan say ‘send us a trillion dollars,’ the United States may have to send the money. Saudi Arabia gets new protectors, and these new protectors get some of the Saudi money.” Zulfikar: “Alex, a lot of nonsense has been said about this, but you have cut to the chase. You have uttered the words that are the truest words describing what has just taken place. I say this sitting in a position where I have actually listened to the deliberations between people who put their names on the piece of paper. I am that close to the scene. Exactly what you have said is the truth. It is very simple. Saudi Arabia is buying protection. It is protection money. Easy, very simple to understand. And Saudi Arabia watched with great dismay the destruction of the United States by Iran—under 50 years of sanctions.” The Gulf states have read the writing on the wall. Paying a protection racket to real military powers is their attempt to escape the coming looting of the imperial system.

Jeffrey Sachs says Mossad is in charge—Israel’s premier assassination unit has effectively dictated U.S. foreign policy for decades, and Trump is just the latest to fall in line. The deep state—CIA, Mossad, MI6—calls the shots, not presidents. Ukraine’s strike on Russian bombers and Israel’s attack on Tehran? Same tactics, same authors, same drones. Mossad was behind both. And the CIA? Of course it knew—it’s neck-deep in it. America doesn’t have an “America First” foreign policy, Sachs says. That’s a convenient illusion. What it has is an “Israel First” policy—reckless, delusional, and decades in the making. The U.S. sacrifices trillions, countless lives, and global trust to serve an extremist Zionist agenda that treats American interests as expendable. Jeffrey Sachs: Certainly, Mossad is in the lead. It’s assassination and murder unit number one, but Mossad has effectively determined U.S. policy for decades, and Trump is falling into line. It’s quite amazing to see one president after another fall into line with Murder Incorporated, led by Israel. We don’t know exactly what happened between then and now. In one sense, I think President Putin, in 2017, expressed something that we all come to learn. He knew it in 2017, in an interview with Le Figaro. He said, “I’ve dealt with many American presidents. They come into office with ideas, but then men in dark suits and briefcases, wearing blue ties, show up and explain to them the world the way that it will be. And so you never hear of those ideas again.” I can’t peer into the inner thinking of Trump, but everything he’s saying and doing today violates what he said last month. In the end, we know that our foreign policy is governed by a deep state apparatus—the CIA, Mossad, MI6, as you said—and we know that the actions that occur—for example, Ukraine’s attack on Russia’s strategic nuclear bombers—had the same provenance, that is, the same authors, as Israel’s attack in Tehran last week. Same methods, same crates carrying drones inside a country to make a decapitation strike or a strategic strike. Mossad was involved in both the Ukraine operation and the Tehran operation last week. We’ve discussed in recent weeks: what did Trump know? I have no idea. What did the CIA know? Of course, it knew. It was involved in all of this. Who leads all of this? Mossad. I would say—it’s strange, but it’s actually true—America does not have an America First foreign policy. Despite what Donald Trump says, America has an Israel First foreign policy. It happens that Israel’s foreign policy is completely reckless, dangerous, and delusional. And it has been that way for decades. I was going to say for 30 years—that’s the time span of Netanyahu, who is currently the most despicable person on the planet, in my view, because he’s the greatest war progenitor of them all. But it actually goes back beyond 30 years. This is a long-term plan for Israel to have its way in the Middle East. The way Netanyahu has explained it, repeatedly, for 30 years—for anyone who cares to read his books and articles or watch his speeches—is painful, but worth doing, because he tells you what his modus operandi is. And the modus operandi is this: we will do what we want in the Middle East, and if any government in the region objects, we will overthrow that government. But when he says “we,” he’s being very nice. It’s his U.S. allies who will do it. The U.S. will spend trillions of dollars, lose lives, and destroy the world’s trust in the United States to carry out this extremist Zionist agenda. And Netanyahu has been right. The U.S. has done his bidding up until now. We know there was a plan hatched decades ago, but revealed to former NATO commander General Wesley Clark in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, which outlined seven wars in five years. Those seven countries were Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Iran. The U.S. has now been engaged in six of those seven. It’s a long-term plan—delayed, by the way—because each one turned into a complete debacle compared to what Bibi always promised: how wonderful these wars would be. And now we’re in the seventh war, finally. Donald Trump has completely fallen into line as of today. It’s amazing to watch. It’s terrifying to watch. It would be nice if we had an America First foreign policy.

Seyed M. Marandi (Seyed Mohammad Marandi): “It will be far worse than 1929. It looks very dark. No doubt about it. There’s no way to make this look non-catastrophic. “Even if Trump is reined in, even if he is removed from power before he takes the final step of targeting Iranian vital infrastructure, the damage already inflicted on the world is very significant, and it will play out even if it ends today—which it won’t. “I think basically what we’re seeing is an empire collapsing. The thing that can lead us to disaster—the world toward disaster—is the arrogance of the West. That arrogance prevents them from still contemplating the fact that they are on the verge of collapse and that everything is on the verge of coming to an end—everything as we knew it. “These are very dark days, and they can become much darker. But in order to end this evil empire and this ethno-supremacism, there has to be resistance, and I think ultimately it will bear fruit. And this evil empire, when it falls, will create hope for the future. “But sadly, since empires are brutal and lash out and they fail to accept their decline, it will be painful for people across the world and across our region and across the West.”

Alex Krainer (Alex (Sasha) Krainer) draws the sharpest possible line: the real conflict is not between nations, but between two opposing systems of economic governance. One is the British free-trade system of extraction, concentration of wealth, and forever wars. The other is the national system of political economy — the American System of Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln and Henry C. Carey. “The conflict in fact is between the western colonialist system and everyone who rejects colonial subjugation. The war in Ukraine, war against Iran, genocide of the Palestinian people, the buildup to the war on China, the uncontrolled migrations, and many other social, political, and economic crises are all merely different battlefields of the same great conflict. What are these two opposed systems of economic governance? One is the British system of free trade. The other is the national system of political economy. It is often referred to as the American system because it was pioneered by American leaders like Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln, and Lincoln’s chief economic adviser, Henry C. Carey. In a nutshell, the national system seeks to create protective barriers to foreign trade in order to give domestic manufacturing a fighting chance against foreign competition. It also accumulates capital at home, investing it into manufacturing, infrastructure, education, research and development, innovation, culture, and other uses that raise society’s standards of living. By contrast, the British system of free trade extracts wealth and concentrates it. It seeks to remove all barriers to the worldwide free flow of capital, always in pursuit of the highest possible return. With free trade, nations are obliged to compete for investment capital by systematically depressing wages, job security, pensions, healthcare services, and education. Other costs which cut into returns on capital are infrastructure development, social spending programs, and protection of the environment. Therefore, competing for investment capital entails progressive slashing of all these cost items down to the bare bones. In that sense, the British free trade system amounts to a competitive race to the bottom. In his 1851 book The Harmony of Interests, Abraham Lincoln’s economic adviser Henry Carey contrasted the two systems, opening with the words: ‘Two systems are before the world.’ Carey’s prose is rather long, but it could be summarized along seven key dimensions: 1. Trade versus production. One system directs capital and draws labor towards trade and speculation. This tends to depress wages and erode prosperity. The other system fosters production of goods, services, and infrastructure. It leads to higher wages and rising standards of living. 2. Raw materials versus finished goods. One system favors mass production of raw materials and cash crops for trade. It systematically impoverishes farmers and reduces their employment. The other system favors production of more refined, high-quality products, enriching their producers. 3. Exporting produce versus enjoying it at home. One system sends mass-produced bulk abroad, sometimes even causing famines in the producing economy. The other system organizes labor to satisfy domestic demand and produce an abundance of diverse high-quality products at home. 4. Concentration versus dispersion of wealth. One system concentrates wealth and power in a few hands in great commercial cities while depleting and impoverishing the rest of the nation. The other system enriches those engaged in production and disperses wealth more evenly across society. 5. War versus moral and educational growth. One system compels the productive sector to fund fleets and armies. The other directs the same means for moral and intellectual growth of the people in their nations. 6. Stable communities versus population replacement. One system requires a large low-skilled labor force that accepts work with low wages. It predictably resorts to a mass influx of immigrants. The other system raises the standards of living, prosperity, and security of the native labor force. 7. Universal war versus universal peace. One system gives rise to universal forever wars. The other strives to preserve peace. Let’s condense these seven points even further. One system favors production of raw commodities in bulk. It lowers living standards, concentrates wealth in few hands, impoverishes the workforce, and favors population replacement, militarization and forever wars. This is the British system of free trade. The other system favors production of diverse quality products at home, enriches their producers, raises the standards of living, disperses wealth, fosters stable communities and favors stability and peace. This is the national system of political economy — or the American system. Its aspiration is sovereignty and independence. Free trade’s aspiration is globalization and unipolar hegemony. The contrast between the two systems could not be any starker, and the record entirely validates the way Henry Carey characterizes them. And we’ll see from actual historical examples where one system or the other was implemented and from the ways that they changed the societies in question.” Two systems are before the world. One produces prosperity and peace. The other produces poverty, migration and perpetual war. The choice remains.

🇯🇵💴 The Post-1971 Dollar System Is Finished Alastair Crooke (Alastair Crooke) on Bessent’s “Bail out Japan” note: pure market signaling—front-run the intervention. Using euros, not dollars, to prop the yen exposes the dollar’s underlying frailty. Japan’s 14-15% zombie firms already cannot cover interest; any rate rise detonates them and cascades into the U.S. Treasury market. Rates are climbing regardless. This is the post-1971 floating-rate system devouring itself. “They are desperately trying to mount a rescue of Japan, even to the extent of the old trick of letting CNN or someone film a note on the desk of Bessent as he’s making a statement that says, ’Bail out Japan.’ Look, I mean, it’s so obvious—a message to the market. Come on, get in there quickly. Help me bail it out because I’m going to do that so you can front-run it and you can make money on front-running it. But, I mean, the key giveaway about how dangerous this is: what was he using to bail out the Japanese yen? What was he using? He was using euros. He wasn’t printing dollars to do it or selling dollars. He was selling euros to buy the yen to strengthen the currency. And that means that he’s very worried that the dollar is very weak, that he has to use the euro to help support it. And I think he’s very worried because if interest rates go up in Japan, big trouble for Japan because many of the companies—a large portion, 14-15%, I don’t know what it is exactly—are zombie companies. Their profits don’t cover the interest that they need to pay on their debt. In other countries, it would be called being bankrupt, but they’re called zombie companies. They just don’t have the money to pay. So, if interest rates go up in Japan, bang, this is a major crisis in Japan and therefore a major crisis in the bond market in America. Interest rates are already going up. I’m sure we’ll see them going up further this morning even though the markets—the usual algos—reacted to Trump saying, ’Oh, no, the Iranians asked for talks,’ which they did not. And ’we’re close to finalizing an agreement on Hormuz with Oman.’ Yes, further, further deep right down the end of the line when the war’s finished and everything’s agreed, then there’ll be an agreement with Oman.” This is the post-1971 floating-rate system devouring itself. The dollar is weaker than the system can admit. The zombie companies are the product. The U.S. Treasury market is the vulnerable point. The system cannot be reformed. It must be replaced.
