S. KARGANOVIC—Moldova is now reaping the bitter harvest of its partnership with the EU, in which it was embroiled by its crooked leaders. Democracy has turned into a pipe dream and the institutions of government are in a state of collapse. Statistics award Moldova the unenvied status of Europe’s poorest country and its citizens are predictably fleeing abroad en masse. Reforms are stagnating. However, European partners began expressing concern over these minor details only when their new man, Andrei Nastase, was blocked from becoming Kishinev’s new mayor after the Plahotniuk-controlled Supreme Court invalidated his by all accounts fair and square electoral victory.

Quite to the contrary, American politics today is about what it has always been about: furthering the interests of still mostly white, still mostly male, titans of commerce, industry, and finance. It is about securing their power and wealth, and the capitalist system that makes their good fortune possible, from hostile political contestation. To that end, it helps that identity politics is all, or nearly all, there is.

The United States of America – the Real Reason Why They Are Never Winning Their Wars
28 minutes readPETER KOENIG—For dominating Russia, Europe had to be ‘colonized’ – made into a “European Union” (EU) that was never meant to be a real union, as in the United States of America. The idea of a European Union was first planted shortly after WWII by the CIA, then taken over by the Club of Rome – and promoted through numerous conventions all the way to the Maastricht Treaty of 1992. The next logical step was to give the EU a Constitution, to make the EU into a consolidated Federation of European States, with common economic, defense and foreign relations strategies. But this was never to be.
