US imperialists sacrifice their European branch on the altar of their proxy war against Russia in Ukraine

 
To arm the nazis and destroy Ukraine by dragging the country into a war with Russia wasn't enough for the ruthless US imperialists. They had to throw into the arena the entire Europe. 
 
Yet, apart from a few - highly uncertain - successes so far, (coming from one of its most dirty proxy wars), the declining US empire discovers that it has to pay a huge price, just only to challenge the rise of its global rivals.

It appears that, so far, the US imperialists are close to fulfill two of their key goals. 
 
First, to lure Sweden and Finland into the NATO trap. A move that could be proved disastrous for two of the most prosperous and advanced European countries, whose achievements materialized (to a high degree) due to decades of neutrality.
 
Second, to force Russia into a long attrition war with Ukraine. Since already 2014, we wrote that the US imperialists wanted to challenge Putin in order to drag Russia in an endless attrition war in East Ukraine and this explains to a degree Putin's hesitation to act like he did in Crimea. Against Russian army, of course, the West will not risk to put an organized military force, but only teams of mercenaries of private armies, as already did.
 
These two goals were clearly described (among others) in a 2019 report by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation, as has been shown in previous article.

However, although Putin indeed appears to be stuck in a bloody war (longer than he had probably predicted), the damage for Russia is not as serious as the US imperialists wanted, as it seems. Putin appeared to be ready for the consequences and it looks like he was prepared for such a war, probably since at least 2014.

Since at least 2014, Russia, China and other countries of the global south intensified efforts to decouple their economies from the petro-dollar and co-operate to establish an alternative system of transactions. Some of them considered even the possibility to create state cryptocurrencies.

And the fact that Russia and China were preparing ground for an alternative to Dollar currency system of transactions (for at least a decade), can be seen also in the case of Saudi Arabia, a long-time Anglo-American ally. This year, the Saudis considered the possibility to accept Yuan instead of Dollar for Chinese oil sales.

It is certain that the US imperialists and their Western allies deeply underestimated Russia's ability to withstand repeated waves of heavy sanctions. In fact, the overuse of sanction policy against Russia and other countries who resisted US imperialism in previous years, pushed them to seek alternatives and co-operate with each other. Which means that the US and its European pets were shooting their own legs with their stupid policy, not just since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but since at least a decade ago.
 
The out-of-touch Western clowns seriously hoped that most of the countries would join them in their crusade against Russia, only to find that China, India and almost the entire global south refused to obey to this imperial mandate. This is a strong indication for the fact that the US imperialists and their allies have taken a divorce from reality, as they expected the countries that suffered from their sanctions and colonialism in previous years to follow them against Russia unquestionably.
 
As a result, Russia closed more energy deals with various countries, among them the two most populous, who are thirsty for energy resources to cover their rapidly rising energy needs. 
 
Additionally, the Ruble became stronger and Russia is playing cat and mouse with the EU, demonstrating that it could throw Germany and most of Europe into an unprecedented energy crisis ahead of the coming winter. Which is another indication of how much the below-average European leaders have taken divorce from reality. They were seriously believing that they could decouple Europe from Russian gas quite easily and replace it with other sources in almost no time. As if it is that simple.
 

And that's partly because their US "friends" assured them that they would cover most of the Russian gas with much more expensive US LNG. The level of naivety of European "leaders" is really mind blowing. 
 
The frenzy US imperialism is out of control and US imperialists will not hesitate to sacrifice their European allies in their effort to bring Russia to its knees. And as in the process they find it harder and harder to achieve, they become more unstable, ruthless and paranoid. To the point that they could even risk a WWIII with incalculable consequences for the entire planet.

Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

globinfo freexchange   Does Trump know what he is doing? Well, yes and no. While many interpretate his latest move, mostly as an attempt to halt China, his main goal is to give the final blow to the neoliberal order on behalf of his oligarchs .  From this perspective, Trump's unprecedented decision to decide mass tariffs against almost everyone, was an act of strategic hit against the global free market neoliberalism, with the financial capital  at its top. And that's because this dominant-for-almost-half-century system, identifies restrictions and protectionism as major threats against its own existence. In other words, Trump acted as a commander of the capitalist faction that wants to beat its neoliberal rivals and put itself in charge, through a new transformation of capitalism into a 21st century corporate feudalism.   Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rule...

Israel Has Always ‘Depended on Genocide’ to Colonize Palestine

BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss Israel’s resumption of its genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza, launched just a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to face his corruption trial. Israel, backed by a green light from Trump, intensified the bombing of Gaza, began a ground invasion, and killed over 500 Palestinians within 48 hours while enforcing a total blockade of Gaza. Eugene states that Israel never wanted to go through with the ceasefire because “the Israeli project can’t succeed unless it totally ethnically cleanses the territories it claims– and kills anyone in the way.” Recognizing that they may “not get the chance again,” they are putting their foot on the accelerator.” 

April 1st 1957: the day Western mainstream media officially became masters of propaganda through a seemingly innocent April Fools' Day joke

globinfo freexchange  In 1957, BBC conducted a very interesting experiment. The spaghetti-tree hoax was a three-minute hoax report broadcast on April Fools' Day 1957 by the BBC current-affairs programme Panorama , purportedly showing a family in southern Switzerland harvesting spaghetti from the family "spaghetti tree". At the time spaghetti was relatively little known in the UK, so that many Britons were unaware that it is made from wheat flour and water; a number of viewers afterwards contacted the BBC for advice on growing their own spaghetti trees. Decades later, CNN called this broadcast " the biggest hoax that any reputable news establishment ever pulled ". This "innocent" farce showed dramatically the unimaginable power of TV and the mainstream media to shape massively the minds of millions. Earlier, Freud's young nephew, Edward Bernays, had set the foundations of modern propaganda. It is worth to add that the te...

Betar: the Far-Right Hate Group Helping Trump Deport Israel’s Critics

by Alan Macleod  Part 1 A far-right, pro-Israel group with a history of support for terror and genocide is working closely with the Trump administration, preparing dossiers on thousands of pro-Palestine figures it wants deported from the United States. Betar U.S. is known to have had several meetings with senior government officials and has claimed credit for the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the nationwide anti-genocide student demonstrations that began at Columbia University last year. Ross Glick, the group’s executive director until last month, noted that he met with a diverse set of influential lawmakers, including Democratic senator John Fetterman and aides to the Republican senators Ted Cruz and James Lankford, and that all supported Betar U.S.’ campaign to rid the country of thousands of “terror supporters.” Shortly after Glick’s trip to Washington, D.C., Trump signed an executive order titled “Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism” that promises ...

Professor at Center of Columbia University Deportation Scandal is Former Israeli Spy

The professor at the center of the Columbia University deportation scandal is a former Israeli intelligence official, MintPress News can reveal. Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of the university’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), was abducted by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Saturday for his role in organizing protests last year against Israel’s attack on Gaza. Khalil’s dean, Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, head of the School of International and Public Affairs, is a former Israeli military intelligence officer and official at Israel’s Mission to the United Nations. Yarhi-Milo played a significant role in drumming up public concern about a supposed wave of intolerable anti-Semitism sweeping over the campus, thereby laying the groundwork for the extensive crackdown on civil liberties that has followed the protests.   by Alan Macleod   Part 4 - Defending Israel, Destroying Free Speech Longtime readers of MintPress News will be less surprised than many to ...

Google Imports Ex Israeli Spies, The Genocide Resumes, Cruel Britannia

by Nate Bear   Part 2 - The genocide resumes   The day before the Wiz deal, Israel resumed its genocide of Gaza with an unhinged bloodthirsty rampage, the deadliest twenty-four hours in the last nearly eighteen months of genocide. A high bar had been set, and it was cleared. They attacked at night, itself an act of utter cowardice and sadism, and slaughtered hundreds as they slept in tents. In tents. Close to one hundred babies and young children were killed. The overall death toll exceeds 400 and is rising. As expected, there is not a flicker of condemnation from world leaders, many of whom are arming Israel with the weapons and intelligence it needs for genocide. The British air force spent the ceasefire period gathering intelligence on Palestinians and feeding it to Israel so they could restart the mass murder efficiently.  The genocide is the end of the west. It destroys any claim to moral superiority over Russia, China, Iran or any of the officially designated bad g...
