It was a busy end of October for author and geopolitical analyst Jeff J. Brown.
On Press TV, Jeff discusses America’s recent sailing of a navy boat within the 22km international limit from two Chinese built artificial islands in the Nansha archipelago, in the South China Sea. You will learn a lot in only four minutes. (See below)
Among the Anti-West Alliance, China and Russia are in a class all their own. They are Popeye’s geopolitical forearms, as it were, with bellies full of spinach and the superpower clout to land a knockout punch on Uncle Sam’s glass jaw. Buckle up for a fast paced 14 minutes.

Putin is a smart operator and he has the egalitarian hopes of humankind on his side. But he is not the new Salvator Mundi, holding an enduring love for humankind like idealist revolutionaries as the Indian Gandhi and the Jewish Jesus, but as a Russian and therefore good chess player he holds the US and its lackey Western Europe constantly at check-mate, a balancing act one can admire because the raw assaults of US foreign policy with its aberrant and diffuse goals is truly destructive of any attempt towards universal peace (if such a thing ever could exist among the human race). In that light one should consider the Russian attack on ISIL in Syria as determinant for keeping a Russian base near the Mediterranean basin similar to its attack on Afghanistan for a base near warm waters, a luxury Russia does not have with its outlets only to the Baltic and Japanese seas or the Arctic Circle. Large nation’s Real Politick has no truck with idealistic motives and any cathexis towards a fictional Russian altruism is only idealization.
Its been reported even in the western corporate press (sewer) that civilian authority (the Obama administration) is NOT following its own policy but that the US navy, in the S.China sea, are masterminding these confrontations and then aggressively ‘lobbying’ for their implementation. The same thing is going on in the N.Atlantic with the NATO provocations against Russia. The provocations against Russia are driven by many highly reactionary Air Force command who possess the largest part of the US nuclear arsenal, and who are traditionally at the top of the military strategic chain of command. This is scary stuff.
