With the BRICS alliance expanding, seven members of the previously existing G20 trade group are now members of the BRICS group. The influence of the G20 is diminishing and the BRICS group is gaining strength. This is the context for the modern era geopolitical dynamic that is taking place.
The G20 is ideologically anchored by the U.S. and EU as part of the western alliance. However, the BRICS group have started to cleave away from the “western worldview” specifically on the issue of energy development. We have talked about this dynamic quite a bit.
As a result of the increased influence of the BRICS group, specifically as an outcome of the U.S, EU and Australian weakening as a result of fundamentally changing their energy use at the altar of climate change, the western alliance is losing economic strength, and the BRICS team are gaining strength. The addition of Saudi Arabia to the BRICS team has boosted the BRICS control of traditional energy products.
The global shift in power is happening very fast as the climate change agenda is pushed by the U.S, EU and Canada. Issues that impact the G20 are no longer unilaterally controlled by a singular worldview. Now inside the G20 there are competing interests as a global realignment takes shape.
Within this dynamic, the attendees of the G20 summit were unable to construct a joint declaration that condemns Russia’s activity in Ukraine. Instead, the group had to modify their language to get all of the G20 nations, including Russia, to agree to the statement. China, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Argentina are in alignment with the worldview of Russia. Although the Russia allies dislike the hostilities, there is a general understanding that Russia was being threatened by the U.S. pushing NATO expansion. Actions have consequences, and the leadership of the BRICS+ group align sympathetically with the justification that Russia presented.
Into this mix of disparate interests, the G20 summit in India was held, and for the first time the Western Alliance within the G20 seemed to recognize things had fundamentally changed. This was the first time the G20 group was together since Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and several other nations began talking to each other about a new economic landscape built on the global energy cleaving.
This also represented the first time Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken were able to gauge how much American influence has been changed. The reality is starting to hit, and the reality is that America is losing power globally – yet retaining power amid a much smaller network of ideologically aligned western nations.
Using the Ukraine and Russia conflict as an example for what this new reality looks like, for the first time today US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken alluded in his remarks to ABC News that new borders were likely to be drawn in Ukraine, if/when discussions and negotiations begin between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.
WATCH the moment at 3:36, …”where exactly this [conflict] settles, where lines are going to be drawn, that is going to be up to Ukrainians.”
THAT, is a major shift in the position of the Biden administration.
Not unusual at all for deep staters to state that, hard not to when presented from a position of weakness. The marxist democrats, talk a good game of BS, when in reality they are cowards.
True they are cowards but they have greatly diminished the influence and power of The United States purposefully. That has always been the goal of the WEF. They picked a good puppet in FJB. His hands are tied bc of his massive corruption which leads to excellent blackmail material. No one knows how many countries he is compromised by. He marches to the orders of whoever is pulling his strings.
I know this isn’t the thread about the Liberty safes. I just want to point this out.
“Liberty Safe, which describes itself as “America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer,” has come under fire after a report revealed that its parent company has donated almost half a million dollars to pro-gun control Democratic officials.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/liberty-safe-scandal-parent-company-exposed-major-donor/
If the Ukraine war were halted immediately, some big goals were still achieved by the people pushing the buttons. Half a million fighting age white Christian men eliminated, and 150 billion dollars soaked up by the MIC.
It’s a perfect war!
It self-extinguishes when one side implodes, and all within 2 years.
Yes.
Depopulation: check.
Ukraine still a Criminal Deep State Disneyland: check.
Western Europe industrial base kneecapped, people impoverished: check.
BlackRock empowered; check.
Billions and Billions stolen by the Obama/Biden Syndicate: check!
#1….from population of 47 millions in the 1992….to 23 millions in 2023…. saaad.
NATO “secret” biolabs exposed: Check
Aside from your generally complete list, furthering the total bs climate change farce should be added. With the complete and utter destruction of the West’s energy production and security comes the weakening financial stability.
I’m sure a good portion of that $150 Billion is being funneled right back to the DNC.
And, ALL of those Republicons in Congress, stood up in front of the cameras to pledge their neverending suppory for Zalenski, and voted in virtual lockstep to send $Billions because,…..WHY?
By posting your comment as worded, you more than imply it is the DNC that is getting all the kickbacks, when it is pretty obvious the RNC and its donors are up to their snouts in the trough of kickbacks.
CLAPPIN SEALS….
War Pigs!
Great song and perfectly appropriate.
I agree 100%. How do you think the Turtle (not T. Turtle above) keeps his position in leadership? He hands out money to the compliant Republican Senators. Where does his money come from? I’m sure a good portion is from kick- backs for his undying support for Ukraine. Why do you think no-one in government is willing to provide the accounting of the $150B some in the House are calling for? Maybe this is one of the upsides to FJB’s inflation plan – the $150B is really only worth about $100B Trump dollars. A pox on all their houses.
No kidding.
Large percentage of conventional artillery ammunition has been wasted away.
The CCPand Russian now know our resupply rates and probably foreign sources for artillery ammunition.
The US military is even more hobbled by LGBT, gender, racial, bullying, DEI principles, ESG principles and never-ending bad PR.
The general Pentagon staff has been further weaponized for political sensitivity.
And no promotions for the generals. Ha!
Thanks Tommy Tuberville!!
While “ cutting my nose off to spite my face” may be case.
I say yes!!
Now if our Canadian government will ever change ( pigs will fly first) Canada should apply too join BRICS.
We are the fourth largest producer of fossil fuels in the world, and we are not even trying.
Mexico is apparently in talks too.
Canada, Mexico,Argentina and Brazil in BRICS would IMO end the U.S.A. should they continue with the radical Obama agenda.
Of course our Trudeau is bought and paid for, and will “ drop to his knees “ at the feet of Obama.
We are joined at the hip, I know that.
However just imagine if the U.S.A. was isolated geographically.
4 years ago such a thought would have been laughed at..
We have three Provinces in Canada ( the producing ones) that if given a vote, would succeed from Canada if possible.
Cheers!
Lavrov has already stated countries hostile to Russia and other BRICS nations will be refused entry.
Thank you I remember Lavrov stating that.
My post was intended only to be thought provoking.
I fully understand “ pigs will fly first”
Canada is as I stated “joined at the hip” with the U.S.A.
However millions in our country ( if our rallies for the Truckers) are any reflection on sentiment,no longer believe in our government, and when we watched Biden order the opening of the Windsor Bridge at the pinnacle of the rally’s.
We knew without doubt that the current regime in the U.S. owned Canada 100%.
Many are unaware that David Axelrod assisted in Trudeau’s election, and Soros too was an “ advisor “
Tom Steyer of the Tides foundation has funded past Mayors of Vancouver B.C.

I agree though it does seem a tall order.
Make North America Great Again.
Dekester: Ridding Canada of Trudope and Barney (the sausage in a purple dress) seems to be the top priority to reverse Canada’s political tyranny.
“Trudeau is bought and paid for, and will “ drop to his knees “ at the feet of Obama.”
And we have our (s)elected FJB that is also bought and paid for and will drop to his knees to anyone that has blackmail Intel on him and his disgusting criminal family.
The United States has enough oil to power the world for 200 years.

So senseless, All these people did not have to die. What exactly has been gained from this ?
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken alluded in his remarks to ABC News that new borders were likely to be drawn in Ukraine, if/when discussions and negotiations begin between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.
Appears the towel is starting to be thrown after Blinky visited the cemetery.
so war will not be decided on battle field??? warmongers been saying it past 18 months…..it will be on Russian term not on Nuland/blinken/sullivan/mic apparently….did blinken…blink????
If Blinky wasn’t so dumb he’d be embarrassed to be constantly drooling the ignorance of the fraudulent US Administration.
as Sundance would say…….”trillions”
Blinken and the US might be ready to throw in the towel, but I am quite certain that Russia is not.
Russia has seen the reliability of the west in upholding their agreements (completely unreliable). Russia is winning and the west is losing badly so there is no reason for Russia to negotiate until all their original goals are conquered in force.
Russia cannot trust the west with any agreement. Thus, Russia will dictate terms from a position of strength.
Heck….I don’t trust the west and I ain’t Russian!!
“new borders were likely to be drawn in Ukraine, if/when discussions and negotiations begin between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.” …. you mean like when it was proposed at the start of all this but was squashed?
bverwey
He is a slimy snake. He didn’t answer the question about the US sending long range weapons that could attack Russia. Yes, it is an escalation, but he won’t admit it. He lied when he said that the US was not helping Ukraine to attack Russia. The US and UK and other NATO allies are giving intelligence to target air bases and Moscow, locating targets, and providing guidance. That is why the Global Hawks keep flying around Crimea, Romania’s border, and the Black Sea. There is no other reason for those to be flying if they aren’t being used for intelligence to give to Ukraine.
He is lying about the Russians attacking a marketplace. The Russians do not attack civilian targets, but the Ukrainians do regularly, daily, in Donetsk City and Bryansk, etc. That was a Ukrainian missile, probably sent due to Blinken’s visit to get him to send more weapons.
US: Here’s your missile.
US: Here’s your launcher.
US: Here’s your target.
US: Here’s your Geo coordinates.
US: Ukraine, now press the button.
When the Ukr Nazis launch attacks from hiding places within primarily civilian areas (as they have done too frequently) , the Russians are not squeamish about shelling or sending missiles into those hiding places, civilian presence or not. The Russians are not playing that one-way game.
In other words, they’re not playing the optics game.
IMHO you are correct.
Blinken,, I am going to fix this for you.
Where the lines will be drawn will be determined by the Victor, and that will be Russia. They aren’t gonna ask.
As Colonel MacGregor stated many months ago, Russia gained what it wanted in the first 72 hours or so of “ Special Military Operation “
Incredible that the U.S. and the E.U. were able to work in concert with Western media to promote the slaughter of individuals and the scamming of nations treasuries.
Cheers!
How funny his name is “Blinken” as he now IS “Blinken” on that unified chorus of “no surrender, we will fight,…er support Ukraine as IT fights, for as long as it takes to prevail!”
BTW, look closely at the WORDING of the Statement, its actually quite funny.
The Brics members ‘pants’ (publically pulled down the pants of) the U.S. and EU WEF nations, as their statement doesn’t condemn RUSSIA, it condemns nations “that refuse to recognise the soveriegnity of other nations” or something to that effect, which could be said to be a reference to the U.S., rather than Russia.
Pants em, and spanked their bottom, right there for the whole world to see.
India’s coming out the big winner in all of this, so far.
With a half a million dead Ukrainians and now they are conscripting women and invalids because they’ve run out of able- bodied nen?
Where’s your proof?
he/she may have meant that it is a US fake war
meaning that the war serves no purpose but to
launder politician money
In any sense of the description, the war is very real and most certainly not fake.
I agree with others, M.P.’s choice of words was beyond poor, and your description Amjean is equally inept.
Its the shortcoming of using “shorthand terminology”.
Its not JUST to launder politician money, its a war to control the Worlds production of Carbon energy, to eliminate Nationalist Countries, especially those with the power to resist the Globullists, and I suspect a desperation move to create a crises (financial) as justification for the ultimate power grab of CBDC and Universal biometric I.D.’s.
Our enemies ARE definetly insane, but that doesn’t mean they are incapable of multi-tasking.
US’ goal in Ukraine and Russia:
https://t.me/thecoppermountain/4362
Lot of money to be made laundering politicians money.
I saw a photo of a Uke conscript. About 65 with one eye.
maddie: Hey, as long as he’s got his dominant eye and can aim a rifle, he’s good to go.
They order pizza and then Shanghai the 16yr.-old driver.
For BidenBucks.
WG….some 6 wks someone in the 404 country reported there is 400,000″canceled,out of service”cell phone about same as KIA ukr.soldiers…since end of JULY till now they lost additional 70,000 soldiers..saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
…cell phones….
Russia has 100 million more people than Ukraine. Ukraine has no chance. The US and its allies have destroyed Ukraine in order to save it. And the US will spend trillions to reconstruct the most corrupt country in the world.
Please tell that to the parents, spouses, children, and friends of those who have died. They’ll be glad to know that their spouse, child, parents didn’t really die, that bombs aren’t destroying people, buildings, industries, seaports, and bridges.
I don’t know why you keep repeating this over and over. Maybe you think that we will agree with you if you repeat it enough. We won’t.
I think it’s a fake war, too.
Which makes these casualties even more obscene.
It’s all for money laundering and corruption.
Imagine the seismic shift when Our President is officially back in the White House and aligns the United States with BRICS! There is no doubt that he is already working with many if not most of the BRICS leaders and making it official will pretty much be the end of the Western Alliance’s power and influence, except among itself.
Tom, I saw this post by SD and my very first thought was, “I’ll bet America under Trump joins the BRICS.”
probably soon as NATO move to 1991 borders ,ramp state of UKR.is neutral or friendly to Russia,denazified,demilitarized…
Anything that distances America from the WEF loons that run the EU, not the European people, is a good thing! JMO
I read this as the asshat evil cabal knows its citizens realize that they are suffering financially because of their government
climate change/green new deal policies. Rumblings throughout the country are asking “why” are
we sending billions of dollars to Ukraine? Why are we even over there? No, we are not sending
our young people to fight another foreign war.
The gig is about to be up and they know it.
Are Americans better than, say the French, where we work ourselves to the bone and the French float around with their 11 month work calendar and 60 years old retirement?
For me, the multipolar world will give Americans a chance at a sane life after we pull back our military and State Dept from wreaking havoc around the world.
Interesting Post!
Having been born in the U.K. and lived and worked there till around 20.
Now a Canadian resident and Citizen for nearly forty five years and a frequent visitor to the U.S.
One couldn’t help but notice, that Americans by and large work harder and longer hours than those in the E.U. and Canada.
IMO opinion the U.S. has been supporting Europeans and Canadians socialist ways for a few decades now.
It is changing though, many seniors here in Canada are working part time at near minimum wage “ just to get by”
Cheers!
Climate hustle will eventually destroy our economic and military systems. We’re being attacked by the Clowers and Piven strategists. It’s only a short time and besides huger gas prices the cost of electricity will skyrocket to beyond the means to pay for this power. Our energy is and always has been our source for our success on the world stage. Wait for it. You can hear the winds of a carbon lockdown. I’m not counting on November 24 to get us out of this. It’s going to take the true grit of our forefathers.
Well said. We are beyond the point we can continue to sit in the couch.
MP may be saying what I said:
The Proxy War in Ukraine by our New Evil Empire in reality functions as a Proxy War on America. Everything about it is bad for America.
The rise of BRICS and a diminished dollar then becomes not an unfortunate by-product, but the central and much-desired outcome.
In other words, Wake Up and Smell the Barry.
Rest in the Vine: The War Within the War
I can’t wait for the wailing and gnashing of teeth when President Trump pulls out of the G20 aligns the US with BRICS
Upthread I agreed with Tom Richardson that Trump would put the US in the BRICS.
Pull us out of NATO while he’s at it.
And the UN, to top it off!
Added it to the list, Guest!
Might I add the WHO to that list!?!
90% of the US is in the dark as to this changing world situation.
Yes, Humphrey, and maybe more.
Very few Americans know about the petrodollar and what losing it means
So true! Imagine if this all had occurred under the Trump administration, all they would talk about is BRICS and Trump destroying US credibility around the world. Barely a peep out of the MSM about this because it is Biden and the Democrats.
Amazing indeed. I’m sure you’ve noticed the false accusations against Trump are exactly Joe Biden’s corruption; and Barack Obama’s foreign policy.
it was a Barack Obama, who turned his back on our allies, embraced our enemies, and diminished American influence around the world. if we’re being honest, we know it isn’t Joe Biden running foreign policy. It is Obama and his acolytes.
Like frogs in a slowly boiling pot till it’s too late to jump out. Similarly here in Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the EU but think your 90% is too high. I would garner that it’s more like somewhere over 60%. Some are waking up but not fast enough.
bverwey
You hang on to that Psychosis. I hope you never have to face the reality of your delusion.
NATO sucks, but Russia should have been brought into it [NATO] in the 90s when they asked to join.
It’s ridiculous that we are not using them as an ally against China.
100%
Agree, but when you look at it from THEIR POV, NATO’s existence helps to keep the MIC solvent. For NATO to exist, it needs an enemy. Russia was always going to be the enemy they needed to keep the MIC solvent and NATO viable.
Therefore, there was no way they could allow Russia to join NATO. The MIC would not tolerate that. And with the MIC being a primary donor to congressmen and senators, Russia joining NATO was a non-starter, although very pragmatic from the taxpayers’ POV.
It’s a racket for sure.
I remember at the time thinking how absurd it was for NATO to admit the country whose threat was the very reason for NATO’s existence
You mean like GERMANY?
LOL.
#Irony
The first NATO commander/ Director was a German NAZI. Incredible.
https://www.dispropaganda.com/single-post/2019/04/04/NATOs-secret-Nazi-past
If there were talk of allowing Germany to join the Allies in 1942, yes.
NATO was created as a counter to the Soviet Bloc. Recall that after World War II the Soviets, despite agreements made during the war, did not return to its prewar borders. Instead it set up puppet regimes in the countries of Eastern Europe it occupied which were basically little more than administrative districts of the USSR. The refusal was most stark in Germany itself where the Soviets turned their zone of occupation into a new country, East Germany, and even divided the capitol city of Berlin which was inside the Soviet occupation zone after failing to drive the Allies out of their parts of the city. Admitting West Germany to NATO was a no brainer.
Soviet expansionism was so alarming that the very hawkish General Patton actually floated the idea of using the combined forces of the Allies and former Nazi Germany to push the Soviets out of the occupied countries.
Simply because the USSR rebranded under new management it didn’t change the geopolitical reality. The Russian Empire became the Soviet Union became Russia. It was still an nuclear superpower and a threat to Western Europe although much diminished.
Japan, Italy and Germany were our enemies and Russia was our ally.
Good point there!!!!!
How true. But we couldn’t conquer Russia, although we are obviously still trying.
We did conquer Japan, Italy and Germany with out military occupation (which is still ongoing) since WW2.
Stalin was an ally of necessity. As soon as the war was over he picked up where Hitler left off conquering and subjugating Eastern Europe.
Absolutely. I studied the Russian language decades ago. Part of the study of any language, back then, was to study the language’s history (English since that’s the mother tongue, American since that’s the homeland, France (studied for 8 years or so and exposed to it as a child since my grandfather served in the war there), and Russian. Their people were abused by their governments. Our people are being abused by our governments. People are people wherever you go, and what’s reported is way too often not so on the ground. We could learn much from Russian’s history, as well as other peoples around the world, if we were humble enough to do so correctly.
Putin said in a recent speech that the Bolsheviks they finally got rid of in Russia that they suffered under for 70 years are doing the same damage to the west now.
He is correct about that.
The rise of the neocons
“What was this reality?
The failure of Marxist ideology to produce a utopian state. The original neoconservatives started off in the 1930s and 1940s as Marxists. This tight-knit circle of intellectuals included Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Midge Decter, and Nathan Glazer. They came to be deeply disillusioned by Stalin’s brutal dictatorship, abandoned their hope for communism, and began to perceive the Soviet Union as an aggressive enemy of liberal democracies. It was this issue that split the early neocons from the Democratic Party, which they saw as alarmingly indifferent to the Soviet threat. As their alienation from the Democrats grew, they also moved to the right on domestic issues.”
https://theweek.com/articles/528827/rise-neocons
You know who is the son of the “Kristol” mentioned in this article, right?
But our public schools,
In addition to refusing to teach reading,
Also will not teach geography
And teach foreign languages poorly and reluctantly.
And our “leaders” expect to rule the entire world through force and extortion
Doomed by stupidity
Thuggery.
Why do we need an ally against China? Are you ready to go to war with China? Why? The US media is ramping up the anti-China rhetoric because they don’t like China challenging the US in trade, income, manufacturing, and military. We intend to be the sole power despite the fact that we are no longer anything but a puff of wind. Manufacturing in the US is 11% of GDP. Our military is a farce and western weapons systems have been burning on the Ukrainian steppes. China owns $830 billion of our debt. If China would call that in, the US would collapse.
China is doing nothing to the US that the US hasn’t and isn’t doing to China. Why does the US need to have 400 military bases around the border with China? How many military bases around the borders of the US does China have? Maybe 1 or 2?
China cannot call in our debt and be certain we will pay them.
Yup. Let’s just call that a down payment on the China Virus bioweapon fine.
They`ve been selling billions of dollars of our bonds monthly.
They’re willing to go to a kinetic war with US. I say the more allies to help prevent that the better.
But by all means, let Russia and China unite against the West. Good plan. Let me know how that works out.
SMH.
PS – China is destroying us without even firing a shot. They’ve unleashed a bioweapon on us to boot. (We are $30T in debt. $830B is a rounding error.
Let’s call that $830B a fine and tell them to pound sand.) I got news for you, bub, the war has already been declared. You’re the only one that doesn’t know it.
They are also selling off our Treasuries which is driving up inflation.
What countries has China ever invaded?
India and Vietnam to name two.
The media isn’t saying this because THEY themselves don’t like China.
They are saying it because they are the mouthpiece for our government. The U.S. govt is paying them to deliver these talking points.
orchestrated by the banking cartel to usher in their “multi-polar world” part of the Great Reset. But of course, it’s going to be the same uni-polar world with the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and the central banking cartel on top, with all national governments as puppets.
Riley at Edward Slavsquat substack also says it is kind of a fake war in the Ukraine and Russia are still doing business together, while the citizen slaves are getting slaughtered. And you can just go through the archives on his site and see that Russia is onboard with the banking cartel’s digital slave grid and biosecurity state (bankers always control both sides).
https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/39-questions-about-the-war-in-ukraine
17) How to explain the situation in which the Russian Federation is at war, but at the same time continues to transport through the territory of Ukraine oil and gas for export to countries (such as Bulgaria) that then, after processing, supply Ukraine with 90% of the fuel it needs? Not to mention the fact that Ukraine regularly receives payments from Russian corporations for these deliveries?
There is a certain logic to the idea that Russia and Chinese communists are working together with Chinese &itches Xiden and Mitch to loot American wealth and destroy the Ukraine.
The problem with that theory is that certainly the members of the G20 are smart enough to realize that once China and Russia get that amount of control they won’t be allowing the G20 type folks (who are in the process of destroying their available armies) to be the leaders of the NWO. There will be no one left to protect the G20 types when the Dragon tells them their services are no longer needed to bring down the west.
And I can’t imagine that the leaders of populous Muslim world are not aware of how the rise of the CCP dragon and communist Russia will work out for them as well.
America and the Ukraine People may be destroyed by this proxy war, but the issue of specifically WHO will be the head honchos remains unresolved. As soon as they grip the reigns of power from the US, none of the BRaiCS members will be willing to subjugate themselves to the others.
Russia is not communist. If you choose to challenge this, then give your proof.
Vietnam is communist.
Spurious.
If America survives intact after next summer’s invaders insurrection…I think the rest of the world will abandon the U.S.A. Next will come an invasion of the continental U.S., what America has done to other countries will be done to us. Why not? A nation that has abandoned God and exports homosexuality, transvestite’s and abortion cant expect Gods favor.
Fake/manufactured war to prop up our petro dollar due to Biden/Trudeau war on domestic oil!!!
They need chaos in Eurasia to prop our economies and Biden is trying to keep the USA dollar the reserve currency. This is the result of the green new deal! As long as Marxists want to “go green” it means continuous world chaos over oil.
We tied our dollar to oil after getting off the gold standard. Why have many people forgotten that most conflict is to drive the price of oil up ??!!!
It’s all a farce!
The petro dollar is diminishing, there is nothing to prop up. We have no more control over the Middle East. Biden just cancelled the ANWR.
” Dog faced pony soldier” also made an appearance
90% of those reporters don’t have any idea who John Wayne is! LOL
Well said, Sundance. America’s international influence is contracting. And if we keep trying to sanction and proxy war our way forward, we are going to be subjected to a deliberate policy of containment by our so-called adversaries and frenemies. The No. 1 rule of geopolitics is don’t get surrounded. . .
Maybe its a nod to reality, meaning blame-shifting for the inevitable Russian victory.
But Blinken would say that Ukraine is already making its own decisions, when, in fact, they are all made by our Occupation Government here.
We’ve been paying the Dictator Cannonfodder Zelensky to murder and maim Ukrainians after he ran on a Peace Ticket.
btw, Blinken’s only qualification is being Head Cashier at the Penn/Biden Center for Selling Secrets to Chy-Na.
100 years from now many will ask why the United States killed the golden goose.
We cut our own throats.
Patrick: The golden goose is alive and well, but, it’s sitting in the ground, as oil reserves.
I don’t feel like it’s an unreasonable request that we take every neocon warmonger from the past 2.5 years, load them on several large transport planes, and the crash those planes into the deepest part of the ocean.
Every time Pence, Haley, Graham, damn near every Democrat, multiple current and retired generals, defense contractor CEOs, etc. talks about sending more weapons to Ukraine, I ask myself,
“How many more wars are you people planning to lose?”
They don’t care. It’s all because of their love of money.
They are insane with greed
They never feel the pain or pay for the crimes. It gets old.
A brigade of the 101st that is Romania is getting rotated with another meaning they are staying there. The brigade that is covering the theft of Syrian Spice needs to be out of there as they are illegally anyways. Dr Assad the Syrian Arab Army & the Russian military were the ones really fighting the War On Terror in recent times.
They are fighting the ISIS that we in fact created, trained, armed and financed.
No indication that Putin is interested in diplomacy??
Come again??
It was then British PM Johnson who drove a stake through the heart of the diplomatic efforts of Vladimir Putin to resolve the Military IndustrialComplex/CIA/DoD war against Russia early on.
Putin to all of the above…”All right, have it your own way.”
The ineffective, lying, oily Blinken may try to rewrite history. But I expect on hearing this, Mr Putin will remind him just who it was who was screaming for war.
As he well should!
Russia was willing to negotiate in the beginning. They can
t right now until they get the lands they wanted, and destroy the Ukrainian army. They can
t trust NATO, or Ukraine anymore. They lied before, and just built up forces. Nobody trusts the west anymore.Bravo Putin, destroyer of neocons.
It is NOT the People of America and the EU… it’s the globalist oligarchs and bankers that are losing power as their outsourced political Lefties are running headstrong into Climate Change and a host of policies meant to bring the people under control.
It’s time to take the People With Real Money and their political slaves in line. Read them the riot act and find some tall street lamps… time to Mussolini them!
Then we can make friends with the rest of the World.
I do not see the BRICS gaining economic strength. China has internal economic and social problems. Russia’s entire history has been marked by a lack of economic dynamism. India is, well, India, and Brazil is not an economic powerhouse. Most of the smaller BRICS countries are perennial basket cases.
The US could turn around tomorrow with the right leadership. On the other hand, Europe would have to dump the EU and replace a large number of lunatics. Australia is not much of a player and New Zealand barely registers on the global economic scale.
China is a manufacturing powerhouse and is building a belt and road trade route across the world. India has a lot of future potential consumers. Brazil has lots of resources, as does SA and Russia. BRICS will be growing and already has a larger consumer base than the G7. There are scores of countries scrambling to join BRICS because they also have natural resources to sell and want to sell commodities within the BRICS Union. BRICS is just getting started and serves to rival the G7.
Europe has no resources to sell.
China will be replacing us by 2032 as the #1 super power.
You assume that the members of G20 that today are West, will stay West. It is a zero sum game.
Wrong headed diplomacy is our problem, along with the wrong players hired to be diplomats.
Blinken’s statement is a major shift with a major caveat buried in the subtext: Because Putin hasn’t shown any interest in diplomacy – according to Blinken – the administration’s unstated demand is that Russia must first ask for negotiations, which would enable the Biden Administration to save diplomatic face and somewhat justify the expenditure of American treasure and Ukrainian lives.
Russia’s war aims, however, remain unchanged: No NATO membership for Ukraine and the replacement of the anti-Russian government in Kiev. For Putin to back off now would be to tempt the wrath of the Russian people. Besides Russia is shredding the Ukrainian Army on the battlefield. Why should Russia ask for negotiations when its diplomatic leverage is likely to increase given its improving military performance?
There have been several reports in Ukraine War substacks that there are secret talks already being held.
Lord knows there is no shortage of third parties offering to mediate. Both sides have an interest in testing each other in quiet talks to see who needs a ceasefire more.
Agreed. Russia is in the driver’s seat and the US is trying to save face to keep NATO members, who are starting to see the weakness of their own organization and may want to bail, intact.
That’s Secretary Blinken saying we do what Obama and those that control his strings tell us to do. It takes a weak mind, or a democrat, to believe anything that’s said by this current administration these days. I’m Canadian and it’s a similar setup here.

When are the republican going to point fingers at Biden for all the loss of life in both Ukraine and Russia? He needed this war to appease the neocons who stole the election for him. And I’m not forgetting Zuckerberg’s money either.
I agree with MP, the war is fake because the war doesn’t exist. Neither Russia or Ukraine has declared a war, the USA obviously has not declared war, so there is no war. It is like the war on drugs, lots of dead people, no actual war, because it is all made up to grease the money laundering wheels. Anyone who believes that this is a war has accepted propaganda as fact.
for Russia is it SMO russian DUMA voted for it…..
Whoever ends up with the most money wins! So far, the US Kongress is leading Raytheon, close behind a few retired generals.
The Telegraph:
Time is running out for Ukraine. After 18 months of war, it is no longer a question of if the Western alliance will falter, but when. Since the start, despite making many of the right noises and supplying some military hardware, France and Germany, in particular, have been reluctant partners. Their leaders have often seemed more concerned with finding an “off-ramp” for Putin than ejecting his forces from Ukraine. As well as dependency on Russian energy, a pacifist instinct among Western European political classes has led to neglect of their armed forces and a corresponding fear of escalation.
To put it more succinctly … the Western Nations are committing suicide. Voluntary suicide. Why? Because the leftists in charge HATE the economic success of capitalism and are bent on destroying it … just as the BRICs are embracing it
NATO has been a complete failure and they are trying to salvage what they can, save face and prevent NATO members from bailing. It may come to a point that some NATO members like Hungary and a few others will begin to question the value of being members of the EU and NATO realizing that the BRICS nations, which want to enlarge trade within its membership AND promote multi polarity (bs globalism) is the better side to be on.
What was the outcome of the war, Putin will remain in power, Ukraine will not join NATO. But they did manage to bleed American taxpayers, cause injury, death and destruction to Ukr, and serious, long term ecological and health issues.
All care of the dangerous and incompetent Obama Biden regime. Not to mention the creation of BRICS.
BRICS already existed. It’s just enlarging because it is a safe trade haven for anti-globalist countries that won’t be using the USD as the reserve currency.
There is only one “way out,” and that is: “military surrender, on Russia’s terms.” Which actually do not consist of “conquering” the present artificial boundaries of the country. Russia has patiently achieved military victory and will not be denied the fruits thereof: whatever fruits it wants to pick.
Well the Abraham Accords look like they are still doing well. Trump is building a golf course in Oman. The Middle East has been remade since the borders were set forth on the tribes. A little like the partition of India and creation of Pakistan by England’s viceroy borders. Hungary knows about imposed borders and loss. The Native Americans have suffered from imposed borders more than anyone else.
Texas should join BRICS. that will stick on their craw.
Good one!
G 20 turned out to be very much a match 127 (or more) of Lavrov V Blinken on the world’s canvas where Lavrov makes Blinken back peddle in a continuous blow by blow after being caught cold the first day in office. This is a fantastic example of “old & experienced whips young & energetic… every time!” Lavrov has quietly whispered in the ears of US allies and trade partners for years and we have stupidly lived up to his descriptions of being untrustworthy and unreliable. We have performed to our own lowest possible outcomes. As long as the US continues to keep the Biden Administration in office (in effect the US will be sending boys to do a man’s job) expect the losing to Lavrov to continue in all things international (diplomacy, trade, influence, etc.) until change happens.
I concur!
The part where Blinken lamented to chaos of violence that war has brought to Ukraine, ‘pelipsky thought of the chaos of violence the Culture War unleashes right here in the USA . the same people causing violent chaos in Ukraine are the same people causing the Culture War violence at home.
Ukraine is already defeated (reference Colonel MacGregor). Peace terms are going to be dictated by Russia.. We are already in for 200 Billion and will keep funding corrupt Ukraine until Trump or RFK win.
Man, Blinkin is some weak cheese. Last week he was asked about the Uke counteroffensive and his answer was basically “all of us are in this together .” Lol
The guy just reeks of incompetence, insecurity, and lack of confidence in his job and on the world stage. He is an utter embarrassment to our country and performs a gross disservice. Zero diplomatic skills and unable to learn any.
Contrast that to Sergei Lavrov, his Russian counterpart, who is a diplomat’s diplomat and a masterful, confident, highly intelligent, cultured, brilliant and intuitive professional who represents the RF perfectly. Sergei Lavrov commands respect around the world and even so secretly from from his western counterparts who would never admit it.
So, for every country Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken bring into the EU/NATO six countries join BRICS? What will happen when they try to bring in Belarus and Georgia, either by color revolutions or by force? It does not seem worth it.
1 Country to the EU / NATO = 6 Countries to BRICS
That does not seem to be a winning formula? But I guess they should have no problem as they say countries are free to join NATO if they wish, so they should be just as free to Join BRICS. (sigh)
So, the overlords (US), who have failed in Ukraine and the banking war are going to throw their colonial proxy satellite blackmailers under the bus?
Actually, it’s up to the Russians.
👍🏼 To the victor goes the spoils.
