CHINA: “The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years. The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions. The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability.”

Eric X. Li’s conversation with John Pilger rips off the mask Western democracies hide behind: voting in the United States is a charade. Parties trade seats, slogans shift, faces rotate, but policy stays chained to money. Why? Because the state doesn’t belong to the people,it belongs to billionaires, corporate lobbyists, and financial elites. Voters get an illusion of choice; real power sits in boardrooms. The evidence is brutal. Donald Trump turned the White House into a billionaire playground, paraded tech moguls like Zuckerberg, slashed corporate taxes, and merged foreign policy…

Core take away Multipolar age Perhaps China’s most consequential support remains invisible on the battlefield, but visible in Iran’s national accounts. Despite US sanctions and pressure, China remains Iran’s top energy partner, with approximately 90 percent of Iran’s oil exports now directed to Chinese buyers. China’s official position explicitly supports “safeguarding Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity”, while opposing “the threat or use of force in international relations”.  In an emergency meeting last month, Chinese Ambassador Sun Lei delivered a stark message to Washington: “The use of force can never…

Έχουμε ήδη ξεχάσει τι συνέβη στο Ιράκ; Πάνω από 8.000 Αμερικανοί σκοτώθηκαν. Οι θάνατοι εκατοντάδων χιλιάδων Ιρακινών πολιτών. Τρισόμισι δολάρια δαπανήθηκαν. Κανείς δεν έχει εξηγήσει πώς ένας πόλεμος με το Ιράν βοηθά την Αμερική. Γιατί δεν θα βοηθήσει. ¹https://bsky.app/profile/vanhollen.senate.gov/post/3mfopkq2q4s2x Have we already forgotten what happened in Iraq? Over 8,000 Americans killed.
