BILLY BOB—The truth is that the ruling Western establishment is not agile enough. It is not organized well enough to manage, much less save, a crumbling empire. Sure, it can wreak havoc, it can sow destruction, it can reap misery, it can double down on failure, avoiding and projecting responsibility onto others for the humanitarian catastrophes that result from its own policies, but it can’t build anything worthwhile or develop and prosecute a plan that seeks to turn all the current losses into wins. They are too fractured, they are too incompetent, there is too much chaos, there are too many independent interests and centers of power that are too adamant (and selfish) in the violent pursuit of their own narrow interests, for any sensible or rational plan to congeal.

ERIC ZUESSE—READ THE STUNNING DISARMAMENT PROPOSAL THE SOVIETS TENDERED AT THE END OF WW2
Who benefited from America’s refusal even to discuss what had been U.S. President FDR’s aim for the post-WW-II world? The beneficiaries are what Eisenhower when leaving office called the “military industrial complex,” and are basically America’s hundred largest military contractors, especially the owners of the largest weapons-manufacturing firms such as Lockheed. Ike had served them well, and then three days before leaving office warned the public about them so as not to be blamed (along with Truman) by historians, for having created it. -

However, Iran has some narrow flexibility in the timing and nature of the escalation, and the US is making noises proclaiming that Washington is not interested in an all out war.

‘AUTOMATED MURDER’: ISRAEL’S ‘ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE’ IN GAZA
23 minutes readPATRICK LAWRENCE—CARA MARIANNA—The Biden regime supplies Israel with weaponry to prosecute its criminal siege of Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians. It gives the apartheid state diplomatic cover at the United Nations and legal cover at the International Court of Justice. It distorts and obscures the IDF’s “Stone Age” conduct. All of this requires us to speak now not of Israel’s genocide but of the Israeli–U.S. genocide.

DON HANK—It was known earlier that the United States is carrying out its “shady dealings” with the help of Ukraine. As the founder of Tsargrad, Konstantin Malofeev, recalled, back in 2016, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin initiated a corruption investigation into Burisma Holdings, but he was dismissed. [He was dismissed after Joe Biden made a quick call to the Ukraine government. Biden admitted this. He thought it was funny!]
And, as we see now, there is only one step from corruption to terrorism. But the Russians do not intend to give up; the case against the sponsors of terrorist attacks in Russia will be brought to its conclusion.
