Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika is the definitive history of the implementation of the INF Treaty signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in all its complexities, and the lengths both sides went to “trust, but verify” this successful and unique historic disarmament process. It demonstrates how two nations fundamentally at odds with one another could come together and rid the world of weapons which threatened international peace and security and, indeed, all of humanity. Those engaged were pioneers in what was to be the new frontier of superpower arms control―on-site inspection―that would define compliance verification for future treaties and agreements to come. Their work represents not just a guide to but the standard upon which all future on-site inspections will be based and judged.

The NATO-west -in fact- has no other option than start talking to BRIICSS+...

In Ukraine [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyLkbfSKWaI[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyLkbfSKWaI Military Summary -another NATO pushed Ukraine offensive is resulting in the destruction of dozens of tanks, fighter jets, hundreds of Ukraine soldiers getting killed.

DJ-A "group of crazy western fanatics" is pushing for war-industry profits by promoting more wars...without going into a "real war" because that would end US/UK/EU war industry...

So;

-Yes we may see (more) NATO troops moving into Ukraine...Poland may have seen over a 1,000 of its "military volunteers" killed...UK, US "advisors/instructors" also got killed...

-Yes...maybe even NATO planes may go for "promoting peace by war" in Ukraine...they will be shot down...

-Yes...US/Israel may try to "stop Iran"

-China tensions could increase...

But so far the west avoided getting involved that much war would spread into the EU/UK/US...

A satellite service in France measures the water levels of lakes and water reservoirs like the Nova Khakovka Dam. The data suggests that Ukraine artificially raised the water level in the reservoir to the highest level in 8 years just before the dam was destroyed. Smoking gun?

Last October, the Russian Federation alerted the United Nations they had uncovered a plot by Ukraine to blow the dam, and had begun evacuating about 80,000 people from Kherson to prevent them from being KILLED when the dam was blown.   Russia sked the UN to intervene to prevent what would become a catastrophe if Ukraine carried out the dam attack. 

The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnipro’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings, but not flood nearby villages.

The strike on the dam was successful, he said, but its destruction remained a last resort, which was ultimately avoided. 

-

Finally, as you read this tory today, June 7, 2023, the sluice gates of Dnepro Hydroelectric Power Station upstream from Kakhovka are still fully open, which is a sure indicator that Ukraine is not interested in slowing down the flood caused by the destruction of Kakhovka dam.  Here's video of those gates still being open:

DJ, there are "limits to lies" even for NATO members....

Taiwan is in talks with Bejing...South Korea, Japan are in talks with their major economic partners. And of course those partners are in Asia...OPEC+ further decreasing production will further increase energy problems for the "NATO-west"....

Significant progress in the US-Iran talks underway in Vienna is reported by sources close to the IAEA (international Atomic Energy Agency) following a new proposal. The Biden administration is reported to have made this offer to Tehran: Halt high-grade uranium enrichment and in exchange we will release $20m of the frozen assets locked in Western banks as part of the sanctions regime imposed on the Islamic Republic.

DJ, The US is violating international law by "locking" assets of Iran (Venezuela, Afghanistan, Russia)...most countries now try to avoid running risks in western banks...

Again...my view, the "NATO-west" is running out of options -and into massive protests...

Lots of European policy makers are against "camps"....

NATO more and more is getting divided;

-US has a major conflict with China...the "Ukraine crisis" went "out of control"

-US still very divided..."uni-party" running into major opposition...

-EU followed US -but now is seeing its economy destroyed...the "war" was not a short road to victory-becoming a major problem

-UK high speed third world status/"failed state"..."Conservative-Labour-Union-Party" CLUP destroying democrazy...in that way only increasing public outrage...

"The Party Is Always Right" (also know as Lied Der Partei, or Song of the Party) is a party and socialist song written in the 1950s as the anthem of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). The song was frequently used at congresses and events held in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), including May Day, alongside the socialist anthem "The Internationale" and other German socialist songs like "Auf, Auf Zum Kampf" and "Arbeiter Von Wien." After the collapse of the German Democratic Republic and breakup of the SED, the song maintained its popularity and common use as a secondary anthem for many current Marxist-Leninist parties and organizations like the KPD and Roter Morgen, and Ostalgie (nostalgia for East Germany) groupings. (English Subtitles)

DJ, in a democracy there has to be room for difference of opinions...From vaccines to international relations...The "lack of room" in "the NATO west" is undermining democracy...A tendency to "uni-party" with all major parties agreeing on most major points is unhealthy !

Rutte admitted that his Cabinets and he himself made some “unprecedented” mistakes with gas extraction in Groningen. He feels shame and anger at himself for that, he said. “Shame because you know what the consequences were and are.” But he would not resign. “My absolute conviction is that I want to be part of the way forward,” he said.

That was enough for the coalition parties VVD, D66, CDA, and ChristenUnie. But all of the opposition except for the SGP supported a vote of no confidence against Rutte. The no-confidence was for Rutte himself, not his Cabinet.

“An entire province has been sacrificed for the State’s lust for money under the responsibility of this Prime Minister,” said SP parliamentarian Sandra Beckerman. “This Prime Minister must go.” According to her, it is an extra shame “that a vote of no confidence is needed at all.”

“My faction is shocked by the way in which the Prime Minister looked back,” GroenLinks leader Jesse Klaver said. He found Rutte’s expressed regret insufficient.

DJ, Gas exploitation in the north part of NL did cause earthquakes...but was good for profits of Shell and Exxon...neo-liberal sponsors...

Production could have DEcreased from 2012-NL still would have enough for export obligations...but "rutte/neo-liberals" INcreased production for Shell/Exxon profits....causing more earthquakes...

In 2021 NL had 13% of its energy needs from renewable, in 2022 it was 15%...storing renewable (most solar/wind) energy may increase renewable energy value further...If we could reduce energy consumption maybe 18-20% of NL energy needs could be "home made"...(with lots of solar panels, wind turbines imported from -most- China...(Uyghur made...)...

Also NL food prices-in comparison with some other countries-could see limited inflation...We produce and trade food...NL in some ways is the "EU distribution center" still-limiting costs...

Biden Washes Hands Off Ukraine's Failed Counteroffensive; 'Have Done Everything We Could..' | Watch

After Ukraine's apparent 'failed' counteroffensive against Russia, President Joe Biden in a press briefing stated that the West and its allies have exhausted all efforts to arm and prepare Ukraine for an attack against Russia. However, Biden has ensured unwavering support to Kyiv

what can I say....Most of NATO-west weapons in Ukraine by now have been destroyed. Very likely hundreds of billions of $/€ of "militairy aid" is gone...replacing that "military support" will cost several times that amount of money...

It is not only Ukraine pushed to destroy itself, "western political criminals' also destroying the NATO "west"....

Worst parts;

-Ukrainians killed must be in the hundreds of thousends...

-Ukraine refugees over 10 million

-trust in "politics/propaganda-media" in NATO-west is gone...

So...will the NATO-west increase its selfdestruction by sending in western "boots on the ground" ? Will western F16's be shot down over Ukraine or F35's ?

Of course western "media/propaganda" ignoring Ukraine total destruction in its "offensive"...Western propaganda focussing on the dam-blow up flooding in the Dnjepr-delta...blaming Russia for it. As always without any proof...lots of indications point to Ukraine/NATO blowing up the dam (from timing to NOT closing dams north of the reservoir to decrease water influx).

DJ...by now I have lost my trust in "western politics/media"...a lot of NATO country citizens are breaking with the power elite...

The damage this "power elite" is creating is that massive it results in western/NATO self destruction...In Ukraine the NATO military may run out of weapons for realistic warfare...Ukraine "leaders" may still push soldiers to front lines with sticks & stones...One may only hope Russia is willing to take them as P.O.W.

The biggest tactical mistake I see on the Ukrainian side is the bunching up of vehicles. The distance between combat vehicle on roads and in open fields should be 100 meter, not 10, 5 or 1 meter like in the picture below. The Ukrainian columns regularly get slaughtered by artillery strikes because they always(!) bunch up. Keeping distances is a basic training lecture for any combined arms warfare unit.

Where are the air defenses? Ukraine has received 37 German Gepard (cheetah) air defense tanks. These are old but can keep the air clean,  each within a 10 kilometer wide bubble. The Gepards were specifically designed to cover tank and mech-infantry battalions in battle. But judging from the number of drone videos the Russian can put out, there is not one Gepard in the whole area.

Also where are the electromagnetic measures. Why can Russian artillery directing drones fly over the combat zone but not Ukrainians?

Why are no fog grenades used by Ukrainian artillery to cover the approaches and breaching attempts by Ukrainian armor?

How are piecemeal commitments, wave after wave but hours apart, going to change anything when what is needed are massive consistent pushes to get through?

Folks, these are basics, not higher level operational or strategic issues. I have drilled these basics into conscripts. If you can't even get those right, after allegedly intense 'western' training, what hope is there to breach through seriously prepared Russian defense lines?

None.

The recent reporting on the conflict in Ukraine in 'western' media has reveled a deceiving scheme in which baseless claims from Kiev are taken for granted while everything Moscow says, even when based on facts, is put into doubt.

DJ, There has been a "ping-pong" between Kiev lies and NATO lies resulting in Afghanistan XL disaster...Does NATO want to go for an Iraq-level of mass murder-over 1 million Iraqi killed ? 

Will western propaganda now go for "trump crimes" in "US election campain news"?

DJ-I think NATO may have run out of military means -other than nuclear- for any major war. [url]https://southfront.org/hezbollah-deployed-medium-range-rockets-near-u-s-base-in-syrias-al-tanf-report/[/url] or https://southfront.org/hezbollah-deployed-medium-range-rockets-near-u-s-base-in-syrias-al-tanf-report/ ;

Lebanese Hezbollah has deployed “medium-range rockets” near the United States-led coalition garrison in the southeastern Syrian area of al-Tanf, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on June 9.

Around 200 U.S. troops are usually deployed at al-Tanf. The coalition maintains a 55-kilometer no-fly zone around the garrison.

The London-based monitoring group said that the rockets and their launchers were transported by two trucks from positions of Hezbollah on the Syrian-Lebanese border to the area of al-Alyaniyah in the easter Homs countryside, which is located some 30 kilometers away from the border of the coalition’s 55-kilometer zone. They were later hidden in underground depots in the area.

No information on the exact type and range of the rockets deployed by Hezbollah near al-Tanf were provided by the monitoring group.

The claims came just a week after a report by The Washington Post revealed an alleged plan by Iran’s Quds Force, Hezbollah and the Syrian intelligence to launch attacks against U.S. troops in the country.

so it is "time to pay" ;

-US/NATO military/terrorists will be "cleaned out" out of Syria/Iraq

-Russia may deal with what is left of "NATO-aid" in Ukraine

-Russia/China will "secure" their East Asia borders (including Taiwan)

Of course it is up to NATO citizens to "wake up" ;

DJ-In a "friendly scenario" bojo, blair, obama, bush-jr, clinton (h&b) and lots of other western "leaders" would face the I.C.C. for war crimes. History has lots of indications for "unfriendly scenario's". The internet provides means for massive repression. The western power elite will seek to increase more wars, more public money in war industry (shares)...Less public spending. 

The US/UK may give an indication; destruction of healthcare, education, infrastructure to get more money for the rich...

Iran has swiftly followed up on its thaw with Saudi Arabia by offering to help the oil kingdom develop a nuclear program. Beijing which brokered the reconcililatilon is again stepping forward with backing. Acceptance of the offer by Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed Bin Salman would be a strategic poke in the eye for Washington, boost China’s Middle East footholds and upset the 2020 Abraham accords that normalized Israel’s relations with the Arab world.

DJ, Egypt, Türkiye are involved in Russian nuclear power...Iran may have plans for nuclear power-may work with Saudi Arabia on that...

Iran’s nuclear energy minister Mohammad Eslami threw out this possibility in March adding that Iran’s nuclear assistance to Saudi Arabia would be monitored by the UN’s atomic agency.

It took some weeks for Tehran’s initiative to register. On June 5, Israel’s minister of energy Yisrael Katz disclosed that Riyadh was demanding that the US establish a uranium enrichment plant in the kingdom as part of a deal for establishing diplomatic relations with Israel. He went on to say: “Iran is the most dangerous country in the world. Its acquisition of nuclear arms would add fuel to its support for the most extremist organizations which already serve as its proxies.” 

He added: “We are preparing for a situation which is far from theoretical and acting in the diplomatic sphere as well.” Katz also said: “I don’t think Israel is expected to agree to this, but we are talking.” At the same time, he said “Normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia is important and I hope it will lead to a peace agreement.”

These comments by the minister of energy were taken to mean that Israel is aware of – and takes exception to – the US-Saudi discussion of a uranium enrichment plant.

China is pushing ahead with its drive for influence in the region by backing Iran’s initiative for assisting the Saudis in the development of their own a nuclear program. 

This initiative would help Riyadh overcome the US-Israel veto against establishing an enrichment plant in the kingdom, according to Nour, a publicationthat speaks for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and sites affiliated with Iran’s National Security Council. Israel’s objection, they say, comes from its hostility to any move for strengthening the Islamic Nation.

JS was hopefull "Europe" might be able to "balance" the US...but the EU has the same lobbyist problem...(over 60,000 lobbyists in Brussel some no doubt trying to push company interests at both EU and NATO...both in Brussel (Brussel is the Dutch name, Bruxelles the French one, English has Brussels...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels )

The Soviets (and China) wanted peace...Austria could stay united if it stayed neutral. Russia pulled out of eastern Austria-Russian zone...It was willing to leave the Soviet/Russian zone in Germany as well if Germany would stay neutral...But "the west" wanted West Germany in NATO...that was the basis for East Germany/DDR...

Of course the Cuban missile crisis had to be mentioned. Via wikileaks we did learn the US did put missiles in Türkiye to begin with...Chrutsjew promissed Kennedy he would not tell the world the US pulled out its missiles from Türkiye...after wich the Soviet Union did stop its missiles in Cuba...

BRICS has to discuss the point how to deal with former colonizers...now to "balance risks" to avoid new colonialism...Germany was not that succesfull in colonialism...however in a short time of German colonialism the Germans did do a lot of damage...

Significantly, on Friday, in a video conference with General Liu Zhenli, Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff Department of China’s Central Military Commission, the Chief of the General Staff of Russian Armed Forces and First Deputy Minister of Defence General Valery Gerasimov expressed confidence in the expansion of military cooperation between the two countries and noted, “Coordination between Russia and the People’s Republic of China in the international arena has a stabilising effect on the world situation.” 

The Chinese media later reported that the two generals agreed that Russia will participate (for the second time) in the Northern/Interaction-2023 exercise organised by China, signalling a new framework of China-Russia joint strategic exercises alongside the  joint air patrol over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea by their strategic bombers. By the way, the sixth such joint air petrol was conducted on Tuesday since the practice began in 2019.

South East Asia main trading partner is China...SE Asian countries do also have a lot of trade with eachother...why would they damage their economy by sticking to the US$ ?

The main problem facing the Dutch economy is weak exports, due to recession abroad, particularly in the first quarter, experts say.

The big three banks forecast earlier that the economy would grow between 1.2% and 2% this year, but have now revised their figures downwards.

ABN Amro economists still see minor growth in the second, third and final quarters of the year, but said on Thursday that overall growth will be no higher than 0.7% this year. The figure for 2024 has been revised down from 1.3% to 1%.

DJ, NL main trading partner is Germany...

The BIG question;

Can NATO keep pushing for wars with Russia-Iran-China ? Or is the economy of NATO in reality in such a bad shape NATO has no alternatives than rethinking its strategy ? 

-The Ukraine war is going very bad for NATO...another NATO "Ukraine" army is being killed...Scott Ritter made it very clear-this is mass murder on US orders...Sending in as good as untrained Ukrainians with no air cover into minefields is criminal...It is NOT weakening Russia...

-Scott Ritter expects Ukraine may be out of means for further war by august...The NATO-west is running out of weapons to send to Ukraine. (DJ-Poland may already have send in thousends of "volunteers" -several thousend of them may have been killed already...UK, US, Georgia, Romania "volunteers" "advisors" may also have seen heavy losses). 

-From a military point of view the "Ukraine war" is insane...If you do not have air cover, no real protection against an overload of Russian artillery you need to "limit" the conflict...Some estimates put (pro)Ukraine deaths at over 400,000....Russian losses less then 10% of that number...with Russia having air/artillery control...

-There are claims zelensky his position is getting impossible..."bojo" was his (cocaine)link with NATO...(of course bojo now is seen in the UK as a mad man...). Both the Ukraine oligarchs, nationalists and NATO think zelensky does NOT deliver the "success" needed...Some "hawks" push for more escalation...(biden his investments -as US president- in Ukraine may become a weapon). 

So Ukraine is a major conflict zone...US did increase military in Syria, Iraq...Putin will visit Erdogan in Türkiye soon. [url]https://www.dailysabah.com/politics/diplomacy/russian-president-putin-to-visit-turkiye-for-talks-with-erdogan[/url] or https://www.dailysabah.com/politics/diplomacy/russian-president-putin-to-visit-turkiye-for-talks-with-erdogan ;

"The Turkish president has confirmed his invitation to our president to visit Türkiye," Putin's adviser Yuri Ushakov said on Thursday, the Interfax news agency reported.

The plans for the trip are underway, he added, though a fixed date has not yet been set.

DJ, part of the Russian-Turkish talks will be over Iraq, Syria. BRICS+, trade will be another aspect. Even Jordan wants the US out of the MENA region...

DJ-Pepe Escobar mentioned Russia does not need to hurry...it is the NATO west paying the highest price...NOT BRICS+ !

So...a look at that "NATO-west"....

-EU moving high speed in both political and economic crises...If climate, pandemic problems worsen the support for the present political elite may be over...However who can replace them ? Critical voices were kicked out of the political "cult"....

-In the US the "show trials" biden is organizing against trump in combination with high inflation/de-dollar-ization and very likely even worse pandemic, climate problems could "collapse" the US as a country within a year....

-The big risk is NATO power elite (in US-UK-EU) could look for "nuclear solutions" with Russia, China not having enough hyper sonic weapons to destroy US nuclear weapons at US bases (both in the US and other places...NL and Belgium, submarines...)

There may be a lot of discussion inside BRICS+ on France asking if it could send an observer to South Africa BRICS+ meeting...Algeria, Vietnam (among many others)  do remember the horror French colonial wars and racism did bring...However some form of cooperation between BRICS+ and the EU may weaken the US, UK even further...BRICS+ may be willing to even "work" with the US and UK if these countries are willing to respect others...

Neo-conservatives, neo-liberals in NATO are showing themselves not that much different from "earlier enemies" Russia, China/BRICS+ did fight in the recent past...

BRICS+ is becoming the largest anti-colonial, anti-racism organization in the world...

DJ, The Duran [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNaegvwxqac[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNaegvwxqac -my "translation"; in the US biden/neo cons, in the UK conservatives push for the war against Russia. Most of the fighting in Ukraine...(Israel a major factor in Syria...but main Israeli enemy there is Iran. Israel still "in contact" with Russia). 

Pentagon/CIA-intel see China (with Russia, others) increasing power in the Pacific. 

During Vietnam war it was the Pentagon that warned Russia was increasing its nuclear capacity...now to much focus on Ukraine may bring risks elsewhere...

DJ-Another major point; Japan only had 10% of the US GDP in 1942...it needed surprise attacks in a wide area to "beat" the allies...On the long run Japan simply was not strong enough in that time...

China-2023- has 40% of global ship building capacity...the US not even one...Industry/production, raw materials, energy etc. are no longer under US-or even NATO-control...

DJ, Sweden, Finland in NATO will mean paying a high price (in Kurdish support in Syria, Iraq, but also F16's) NATO has to pay to Türkiye...Including Kosovo in NATO -a "created country" not even recognized by several NATO countries-means making deals with Serbia...

Including Ukraine in NATO is turning out to have a price NATO can not afford...Georgia may be on a NATO waitinglist even longer...

Japan has a NATO office...Australia may "work with NATO" but most Pacific countries NEED trade with China-Asia...

"As the world is emerging from covid, people should move around more, communicate more, and enhance their understanding of each other," the Chinese leader added.

Xi spelled out that China stands ready and willing to engage in "extensive technological innovation cooperation with countries around the world" and "actively participate in and promote the response to global challenges," particularly in the areas of public health and the climate.

A report in American media gave some background on Gates' visit as follows: 

This is not the first time Xi has called on American business leaders to help improve relations between their two countries. In 2021, Xi wrote to Starbucks (SBUX)’ former chairman and CEO Howard Schultz, suggesting he help promote bilateral ties, according to Chinese state media.

Gates’ meeting with the leader of the world’s second largest economy came a day after his family’s foundation pledged $50 million toward research in China for drug discovery and treatments of "infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria, which disproportionately affect the world’s poorest," according to a statement from the Gates Foundation.

But also what potentially makes the visit awkward in terms of timing is just last week the FT reported that "Microsoft is moving some of its best artificial intelligence researchers from China to Canada in a move that threatens to gut an essential training ground for the Asian country’s tech talent."

"Beijing-based Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) has begun seeking visas to move top AI experts from China’s capital to its institute in Vancouver, said four people with knowledge of the plans," the report detailed, as the 'AI wars' and rivalry between China and the US heats up.

DJ, US companies may decrease interests in China...India, South Korea, Iran, Russia and Chiese companies are able to (more than) fill the gap...

-In general-does "the NATO west" have a clear view of who they want to fight and how ? 

The longer conflicts goes on the weaker the NATO west is getting...not only in sending military/financial aid to Ukraine but even more by being excluded/sidelined by most of the world..

The "de-dollar-ization" only started to gain speed...

-BRICS may run into some problems in the nearby future on who can join when, what currencies to use for what...basic idea in trade is bi-lateral contacts have to find ways for themselves...Iran-India can exchange goods...while India may buy energy from Russia in rupees...

Some NATO hardliners may push for nuclear war...but a nuclear attack on Russia would be self destruction for the US...A nuclear (Israeli) strike on Iran would be the end of Israel...

Nuclear options are limited...the main NATO "enemies of choice" are Russia-Iran-China...and that is a large piece of land...

1. NATO has been beaten.....

U.S. Admits Defeat In War On Russia And China

Confronted with the realities of life the Biden administration has in the last days acknowledged defeat in two on its most egregious and delusional foreign policy games.

The Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed. Its army is getting slaughtered on the battlefield. The 'counteroffensive' of the 'NATO trained' Ukrainian brigades has made no real progress on any front. The high level of losses of men and material make it impossible that it will ever again regain the initiative.

The U.S. aim was to integrate the Ukraine into NATO. It would then have been able to station U.S. troops in Ukraine and to put its weapons into reach of Moscow so that any independent Russian move could be countered with a threat of imminent annihilation.

After more than 20 years of pursuing that aim the U.S. threw the towel:

President Biden on Saturday said he won’t make it easier for Ukraine to join NATO, adding that the country at war with Russia has to meet the requirements to be a member.

“They got to meet the same standards. So, I’m not going to make it easier,” Biden told reporters. “I think they’ve done everything relating to demonstrating the ability to coordinate militarily, but there’s a whole issue of is their system secure? Is it noncorrupt? Does it meet all the standards … every other nation in NATO does.”

And yes, that is a change. A big one:

Biden has reportedly previously expressed that he is open to removing the Member Action Plan hurdle for Ukraine to join NATO, which requires countries that want to join the alliance make reforms militarily and democratically.

Still, it is not enough:

Biden has not said anything new. Biden senses that the US lost the proxy war but he must not and cannot admit it. So, in the absence of a time machine, which could have taken him all the way back to 1999 when the NATO’s expansion began unfolding, Biden simply walked back to the default position of the 2008 NATO Summit at Bucharest welcoming Ukraine into the alliance via the MAP route — as if that moment fifteen years ago is now the past and cannot be pulled back to the present. Russia is not going to accept it. 

Though packaged in nice words the European Union gave Ukraine a similar negative outlook (machine translation):

An EU report on Ukraine's membership bid states that Kiev has so far met two of the seven conditions required to start formal EU accession negotiations.
...
"There is progress. The report will be moderately positive. This is not about embellishing reality, but about recognizing progress, for example, there are well-known anti-corruption cases. In particular, in the case of the head of the Supreme Court Knyazev," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
...
“In terms of reforms, the glass would be half full, we would never take a negative tone towards Ukraine at the moment. Judicial reforms have made some progress, although there are still key ones that need to be carried out. Not everything is satisfactory.”

The much hyped counter-offensive has indeed become a death trap for the U.S. EU and NATO.

The other U.S. defeat was acknowledged by U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at the end of his trip to Bejing:

The United States will not support Taiwan breaking away from China, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said, amid a series of confusing statements by Joe Biden on the issue.

'We do not support Taiwan independence,' America's top diplomat said in Beijing after meeting with Chinese president Xi Jingping.

This was more than a verbal change in Blinken's pronouncements:

The US State Department has updated its fact sheet on Taiwan again to reinstate a line about not supporting formal independence for the Chinese-claimed, democratically governed island.
...
“We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means,” according to the document, referring to the strait separating the island from the Asian mainland.

Last month, the State Department changed its website on Taiwan, removing wording both on not supporting Taiwan independence and on acknowledging Beijing’s position that Taiwan is part of China, which angered Beijing.

Blinken's change of heart came after an extremely short meeting with President Xi which had followed a series of lectures by other high ranking Chinese officials:

Wang gave a comprehensive explanation of the historical logic and inevitable trend of China's development and rejuvenation, and elaborated on the distinctive features of Chinese modernization and the rich substance of China's whole-process people's democracy.

He urged the U.S. side not to project onto China the assumption that a strong country is bound to seek hegemony and not to misjudge China with the beaten path of traditional Western powers. "This is key to whether the United States can truly return to an objective and rational policy toward China."

Wang demanded that the United States stop playing up the so-called "China threat", lift illegal unilateral sanctions against China, stop suppressing China's scientific and technological advances, and do not wantonly interfere in China's internal affairs.

He stressed that safeguarding national unity has always been the core of China's core interests. It is where the future of the Chinese nation lies and the abiding historical mission of the CPC.

On the Taiwan question, China has no room for compromise or concession, Wang said.

The Chinese language readout of the Blinken-Wang meetings is reportedly even more scornful than its English translation.

The next step for China is to stop the provocative 'innocent passage' drive-bys by U.S. military ships and airplanes in the Taiwan Straits. To do that it simply has to apply the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea:

Article 38
Right of transit passage

1. In straits referred to in article 37, all ships and aircraft enjoy the right of transit passage, which shall not be impeded; except that, if the strait is formed by an island of a State bordering the strait and its mainland, transit passage shall not apply if there exists seaward of the island a route through the high seas or through an exclusive economic zone of similar convenience with respect to navigational and hydrographical characteristics.

A view on a map shows that this evidently applies to the strait between mainland China and the Chinese island named Taiwan.

(So the US has to follow the Pacific route not get in between China and Taiwan-part of China-following law of the sea...)

If the U.S. really has a One China policy it will have to accept that the Strait is off limits.

This double whammy of defeat in its wars on Russia and China will take some time to stick.

In the Ukraine conflict there are still dreams of creating some kind of stalemate, of implementing some kind of a Korean cease-fire demarcation line on the 38th parallel:

U.S. officials are planning for the growing possibility that the Russia-Ukraine war will turn into a frozen conflict that lasts many years — perhaps decades — and joins the ranks of similar lengthy face-offs in the Korean peninsula, South Asia and beyond.

The options discussed within the Biden administration for a long-term “freeze” include where to set potential lines that Ukraine and Russia would agree not to cross, but which would not have to be official borders. The discussions — while provisional — have taken place across various U.S. agencies and in the White House.

Russia wont have any of that. It will thoroughly defeat the Ukrainian army. It will retake the parts of Ukraine which for centuries had been Russian before the communists assigned those administratively to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

The rest of a then neutral Ukraine, cut off from the sea and the mineral riches of the east, will be handed over to the underling that Russia is willing to accept.

The double defeat in its wars against the 'rest of the world' marks the end of the Wolfowitz doctrine:

The doctrine announces the U.S.'s status as the world's only remaining superpower following the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War and proclaims its main objective to be retaining that status.

Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.

The end of 'unilateral moment' is there for anyone to see.

The Republicans will of course loudly blame Biden for this even though they are just as guilty of overreach as the other side of the isle. Biden may wall have to sacrifice Blinken as the pawn guilty of losing the game.

Anyway, neither will help him to get reelected.

It is, by the way, not just a coincident that Israel, on the same day of the U.S. admission of defeat, got whacked by fighters of the Palestinian resistance. This another of those U.S. sponsored global problems that China is eager to solve.

How US Sanctions on Russia Fueled De-Dollarization 

Economists Michael Hudson and Radhika Desai explain how US sanctions on Russia have facilitated the end of US dollar hegemony. 

DJ, a "global currency" is linked to global exploitation. The UK-pound was dominant because the UK had a large colonial empire...

The 2008 financial crisis was an Atlantic financial crisis. EU-UK-and US banks were interlinked...After 2008 EU banks did take some distance from high risk casino US banksters...

One of my (DJ) questions is how fast the US$ can drop ? 

One could claim of all the US$ in the world only 5% of it would be needed for the US home market....In 2000 over 70% of global trade was in US$ -in 2020 it may have been still 58%...

With BRICS/BRIICSS+ becoming a better alternative-room for lots of currencies-de-dollar-ization may go high speed...

So far US wars were protecting the US-petro-$...the US now faces NATO not able any longer to "protect/enforce" western (pseudo-colonial) global dominance...

DJ-The Moon-of-Alabama claims one should not only blame biden c.s. for the US downfall...I do NOT agree with that view !

The US should have gone for diplomacy not confrontationism...When biden became US president there were "problems" but bad politics turned those problems into this very major crisis...

-So no nuclear war ?

Finance Minister Smotrich urges ‘broad operation’ in West Bank; Egypt accuses Israel of inflaming violence, raising regional tensions; Palestinians threaten unprecedented response.

Senior coalition lawmakers called for a major military operation in the West Bank town of Jenin Monday after heavy clashes between IDF forces and local gunmen left four Palestinians dead and seven soldiers injured by a powerful roadside bomb.

Dozens more Palestinians were injured.

DJ, can NATO find new ways to accept a multi-polar world reality ? Or will it fall back to trying to enforce US/NATO dominance ? 

BRIICSS+ may offer a place for "the west"..."Korea", Japan, France could be interested...others may follow...

A major problem will be NATO has to "take some steps";

-less military investments

-accepting global trade in different currencies (US$, € can be part of that financial system)

-diplomacy, international laws rule...not NATO interventions...

The NATO west may even limit its economic damage-less military spending, cheap Asian energy/trade can soften loss of incomes from neo-colonial trade...

DJ-In theory there could be a way out...in practice it has to show...

DJ, Modi-India visited the US [url]https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jcJd7Mc0hX4[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jcJd7Mc0hX4 US-India war industry trade is growing...

Another major point for India can be positioning itself as a major global power. I would not be surprised if Modi talked with biden on India becoming a UN Security Council permanent member (maybe the US may try to push France out of that UNSC ?) 

India is-and will remain-a long term ally of Russia...but its relations with both Pakistan and China are "not good" ...so maybe the idea Modi could  have the US may be of help here...India-Iran have become "partners"...

Chinese Premier Li Qiang stressed on Thursday that China is ready to work with France to advance balanced development of bilateral trade, expand two-way market access, and optimize business environment in a bid to push "bilateral practical cooperation" to a new level while meeting with French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne during the last stop of his ongoing first overseas visit since taking office.

Li also called on France to continue playing a positive role in facilitating Europe to form a more objective, rational perception and policy toward China, so as to make win-win cooperation between the two economies the main theme.

Analysts said on Thursday that Li's visit to France will consolidate the good momentum of China and France relations built based on the consensus reached by the two heads of state following French President's visit to China in April, serve to dispel misunderstandings of China in Europe amid "de-risking" rhetoric and avoid the potential widening of conflicts between China and Europe veering into confrontation. The trip will also help promote deeper engagement and cooperation between China and France, and China and Europe in industries, sci-tech, aerospace, corporate and other practical sectors.

DJ, If Macron/France has any serious interest in BRIICSS+ Macron has to "provide evidence"...support peace efforts to end the "biden war" in Ukraine...

Modi did meet zelensky recently - told this cocaine addict to go for peace...

Turkey, Syria and Iran have agreed with the concept of a road map submitted by Russia to normalize relations between Ankara and Damascus, Russia’s special presidential envoy for Syria Alexander Lavrentyev told Sputnik on June 22.

Work on the roadmap draft began after a meeting between the foreign ministers of Russia, Turkiye, Syria and Iran that was held in Moscow on May 10. Deputy foreign ministers of the four countries met in Astana on June 20 to discuss the draft.

DJ, the increase of Israel violence is related to Russia, Iran, "taking over" the Middle East North Africa-MENA region...Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran joining BRICS/SCO etc. 

For Israel it is "now or never"  to "show red lines" -DJ very likely with lots of talks with Russia, Egypt on how Israel has to deal with a new situation...The US only can play a "limited role" for Israel security....

-Ukraine...some within NATO may still push for escalation...The Ukraine-NATO army is destroyed again...Rheinmetall-German Leopard-2 tank builder may not be very happy with Russia blowing up its "superior tanks"...bad for sales....Also US, UK, France "modern weapons" fail in Ukraine...

So the "war industry" -promoter of NATO- may become less happy on profits perspectives...(maybe investments in big pharma -producing lots of profits- even if products do NOT work... may be more interesting...). 

Greed is the main driver behind NATO "push" for liberating Russian oil and gas...bring "democrazy" to Chinese, Indian factories....

It would be very welcome if Modi was able to "get at least some sense" in the biden-cult ruining the west....

Russia has declared an "anti-terrorist operation regime" in Moscow and the Moscow region after mutiny by the chief of the Wagner mercenary group which President Vladimir Putin called a "stab in the back" of the country. 

In an emergency televised address to the nation on Saturday, Putin said the "armed mutiny" was treason, pledging that anyone who had taken up arms against the Russian military would be punished.

"This is a stab in a back to our country, to our nation," Putin said. "What we have been faced with is exactly betrayal. Extravagant ambitions and personal interests led to treason." 

His remarks came after Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said he was inside the army headquarters in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don and controlled military sites there.

Putin said, "All those who consciously stood on the path of betrayal, who prepared an armed rebellion, stood on the path of blackmail and terrorist methods, will suffer inevitable punishment, before the law and before our people."

In a statement, Russia’s national anti-terrorist committee said an anti-terror operation regime has been introduced “with the aim of preventing possible terrorist acts on the territory of the city of Moscow and the Moscow region”.

Russia also declared an anti-terrorist operation in the southern Voronezh region, where some reports said Wagner mercenaries were headed.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the measure was "aimed at strengthening security."

He said there was "additional control" on roads and that the capital's mass events may be limited.

Moscow's transport department said there could be delays in bus routes from the capital to "southern directions."

Prigozhin launched the most audacious challenge to President Putin since the start of the offensive in Ukraine last year after accusing the Russian top brass of launching strikes against his men.

Putin described efforts by the Wagner military group to unseat the country's top brass as a "deadly threat" to Russia and urged the country to unite.

"Any internal turmoil is a deadly threat to our statehood and to us as a nation. This is a blow to Russia and to our people," he said, adding: "This battle, when the fate of our people is being decided, requires the unification of all forces and unity."

The FSB security service accused Prigozhin of attempting to launch a "civil conflict" and urged Wagner fighters to detain him.

Russia's defense ministry appealed to Wagner fighters to "show reason" and abandon Prigozhin, saying it would "guarantee the safety" of those who did so.

Evgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group private military company, has been accused by the government of staging an armed insurrection.

The charges were brought late Friday night after Prigozhin accused Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and General Valery Gerasimov, the chair of the Russian general staff, of serious crimes.

Prigozhin claimed to have ordered troops loyal to him to move towards Rostov-on-Don, a major city in southern Russia. Security measures were also reportedly beefed up in Moscow.

This analysis is NOT mine, it comes from a guy in Europe whom I respect.  I think you'll like it:

From recent events I can conclude following:

Wagner mutiny was very likely staged operation. Fallout of ostensible rebelion provided cover for fast military movement with numerous air defense units and thousands of troops reaching western borders of Russia practically unnoticed as everyone was focused on Prigozhin's insurgency. Without mutiny pretext such massive movement would be seen, and mainly linked, directly to Ukraine very quickly.

If I consider that Russia already did some serious preparatons to protect its capital, with roads blocked and checkpoints rised, I think Russia is about to blow heavy strike on Kiev and its forces (if not even further) and all this protective measures, ostensibly related to mutiny, were done actually as protective measures if NATO will decide to intervene.

If my conclusions are correct then such blow will come in next hours or days.

DJ...so was it a trick, an act ?

DJ, The west is wondering where Prygozhin went....Of course asking the wrong questions may be part of the problematic western strategy...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_warfare[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_warfare Putin/Russia had to find a way to get Prygozhin "out of the way" while keeping (most of) Wagner fighters on his side...So Prygozhin overplaying his position was "the best possible" way to get that goal...

Obsessed with the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

DJ...my view; There is a real major nuclear risk in the NATO expansion war in Ukraine...It may get very ugly very fast....

[url]https://southfront.org/ukraines-accusations-against-moscow-about-znpp-preparation-for-false-flag/[/url] or https://southfront.org/ukraines-accusations-against-moscow-about-znpp-preparation-for-false-flag/ ;

Written by Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant

As well known, the Kiev regime has been carrying out irresponsible attacks against the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) since last year. Russian officials, independent journalists and ordinary citizens have repeatedly reported the Ukrainian strikes, with strong suspicions that the regime deliberately wants to provoke a nuclear leakage in the region. However, Kiev now seriously accuses Russia of planning such a crime, which sounds like a coordinated operation to delude public opinion.

On his social media, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky claimed to have received an intelligence report exposing that Moscow is planning a “terrorist attack” on the ZNPP. The objective would be to destroy the plant and cause a radioactive leak, thus affecting the lives of thousands of civilians. On the occasion, the Ukrainian president also resumed the unfounded accusations that Russia was responsible for the incident at the Novaya Kakhovka dam, in addition to saying that the whole world is being warned in advance about what will possibly happen in ZNPP. He called on Kiev’s international partners to “act” in order to prevent such a tragedy.

DJ, Western media -owned by the war industry- did claim "Russia was shelling itself" in the ZNPP....Western media are part of the "frontline" 

NATO is running out of options for "helping Ukraine" (in destroying itself). So a major incident, blowing up a major dam, shooting down a passenger plane and "Putin did it" insanity may be the main part of "western strategy".....

DJ-I am NOT neutral-see myself as "left wing" and I am getting more and more angry with European "Left wing" parties now supporting NATO .....The main reason why the "Left" is losing elections is because that "Left" is doing all the right wing policies....There was opposition against US invasion of Iraq in 2003...Now "the Left" is fooling themselves "NATO is defending democracy".....Is "the Left" taken over by young people without ANY !!! knowledge of history ? 

Here in NL both "SP" and Animal Rights Party "claim" Ukraine "has a right" to join NATO....Ignoring the 2014 coup, ignoring the extreme right wing ruining Ukraine...(not all are nazi's....ultra-nationalists in Ukraine may become a growing problem for NATO. zelensky is running out of support inside Ukraine...). In Germany "Die Linke/The Left" protest against the war and the destruction of the German economy via sanctions...

I miss the voices of Trade Unions so far....in many countries Trade Unions have links with "social democratic parties" (SDP in Germany)....How you fight inflation if you do not fight ineffective sanctions ???

Renewable energy is increasing but unable to replace the amount of fossil fuels we imported from what now is the BRIICSS+ bloc....Less cars, less flying, very welcome...but not enough ! We are moving into a very major economic crash in the coming winter in the NATO-west....

----

Did the Prygozhin-problem "damage" Russia ? It was controlled within a day...it was a problem that developed over months...If Russia is able to "end" Ukraine in august, september I think Russia may even end up stronger in BRIICSS+....Türkiye, Brazil, Pakistan did face more dangerous coups...

The Saudi investment ministry on Monday announced that a modern "Silk Road" will be opened between China and Arab countries to help Saudi Arabia diversify its economy and improve the skills of its youth at the 10th Arab-China Business Conference.

The two-day event, which opened in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Sunday, is the largest in scale since its inception in 2005, with over 3,000 participants joining this year.

The first day of the conference witnessed the signing of more than 30 groundbreaking agreements valued at over 70 billion yuan (about 9.8 billion U.S. dollars), illustrating the immense potential of economic and investment cooperation between China and Arab countries.

The economic and trade cooperation between China and Arab countries is highly complementary.

Judging from the results of this conference, the economic and trade cooperation between the two sides has extended from traditional oil and gas energy to the fields of science and technology, renewable energy, minerals, supply chains, tourism, and healthcare.

DJ, Saudi Arabia may be the target of the next US/NATO regime change operation....

-If it fails it only underlines NATO is "the enemy of the world"...

-If it succeeds BRICS may go for "a more agressive" strategy...what non-NATO country will be the next target ? 

On the other hand China is very active in "make trade not war" ...inviting US bussiness people, visiting EU countries...

NATO countries have to evaluate...what did confrontation policies (biden) bring so far...The NATO west by now is much weaker in many ways than it was in 2020...US$ share of global trade is dropping high speed...

On July 4, at a New Delhi summit, Iran will finally become a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

That will be one of the key decisions of the summit, held via video-conference, along with the signing of a memorandum on the path by Belarus to also become a member state.

In parallel, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk has confirmed that Iran and the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) should sign a free trade agreement (FTA) by the end of 2023.

The FTA will expand an interim deal that already lowers customs duties on hundreds of categories of goods.

Russia and Iran – two key poles of Eurasia integration – have been getting closer and closer geoeconomically since the west’s sanctions tsunami that followed Russia’s February 2022 Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine.

The EAEU – as much as the SCO and BRICS – is on a roll: FTAs are expected to be clinched, from middle to long term, with Egypt, India, Indonesia, and the UAE.

Overchuck admits negotiations may be “very difficult” and “take years,” considering “the interests of all five EAEU member states, their businesses, and their consumers.” Yet despite the obvious complexities, this high-speed rail geoeconomic train has already left the station.

This way for a SWIFT exit

In a parallel track, the members of the Asian Clearing Union (ACU), during a recent summit in Iran, decided to launch a new cross-border financial messaging system this month as a rival to the western-centric SWIFT.

The ACU comprises the Central Banks of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Iran: a healthy mix of West Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.

DJ, From Trade Unions to major companies (Volkswagen, BASF, Airbus) the EU economic future is in Asia....if EU politicians keep ignoring this it is time for other EU politicians....

DJ, Several developments-just trying to understand some basics...

...so what missile hit what target ? My view; Russia used an Iskander missile against a NATO gathering in Kramatorsk. Ukraine used S-300's to stop the Russian missile...very likely also an air-launched UK storm shadow missile was involved...

Lots of indications some (ex) NATO militaries got killed/wounded...

 An ordinary "tourist" with a chevron of the US anti-aircraft troops watches his compatriots being pulled out from the rubble in Kramatorsk

DJ, NATO military "tourists" now evacuated to German hospitals via NATO military transports ?????

-Belarus (?)

MS claiming (min 29) Duda/etc from Poland visiting Kiev may be linked to Poland/Baltics planning to send in military to western Ukraine end of july...If Poland would move into Ukraine Wagner forces would stop/fight them from Belarus...

DJ-It would further increase risks for a war between Belarus/Russia and Poland/Baltics...NATO may still claim "it is not a party"....

-Prigozhin

DJ, Western "intel" totally missed the Prigozhin plan "to protest". MoA makes the point Russia did not know Wagners had Pantsir Air Defense...Wagners did shoot down Russian planes ? 

NYT/other western war-industry owned "media" claim "Russian general knew of Prigozhin plan" based on NATO intel that itself did not know of these plans....

Another point on Prigozhin...still not clear if it is a form of 4D chess or did Prigozhin "run wild" and survive it ? (My view is Prigozhin may be used to confuse the west...)

Two new military centers are under construction south of Damascus by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and Hizballah, DEBKAfile’s military sources report. They are designed to consolidate their access to Lebanon and the Golan. Satellite and Western intelligence have recorded the new projects. Acting for Iran, the Imam Hussein Brigades, an Iraqi militia assigned by the IRGC to the Damascus region, began in mid-June building a string of bases in the Khan al-Shih district. Twenty kilometers away, Hizballah has been constructing on the large tract of land it occupies another network of military facilities south of the Syrian air force’s Mezzeh Military Airport.

All this construction work is designed to bring Iran’;s military and its proxies closer to the Israeli border, the Golan and Lebanon.
The Iraqi militia is focusing its effort on new military staff headquarters and hangars for storing weapons and ammo not far from its own bases at Sayyidah Zaynab, where Iran has established its main command center in Syria.

DJ, from Israeli (extremist) view most Arabs are "Iran proxies"....

Nine years in power, Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, 68, a former army chief himself, is facing a challenge from disaffected officers. It is led by the armed forces’ Chief of staff, Lt.-Gen. Osama Askar, who is defying the president’s order of dismissal and hanging on to office. Sources in Cairo read the situation as signifying an attempted military coup against the president.

Gen. Askar was last seen at an officers’ graduation ceremony taking place on June 22 at the Nasser military academy, alongside Defense Minister Lt. Gen. Mohammed Zaki. Reports that a number of high-ranking officers were plotting to unseat the president appear to have led up to Askar’s dismissal. The British weekly The Economist recently revealed that El-Sisi and the Egyptian high command are deeply at odds and the president has taken to frequently reshuffling the generals because he does not trust any of them.

DJ, Al-Sisi so far was backed by Saudi Arabia...now Saudi Arabia is going BRICS-followed by Egypt-can al Sisi still "do the job"? 

-----------------

DJ-One of my major questions is will there be a BRIICSS+-"NATO" military cooperation...China, Russia pay a lot of attention to Cuba. Iran visiting Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua...South Africa, Iran had drills with the Russian/Chinese navies...

The NATO-BRIICSS+ conflict seems to be getting worse...so does China further prepare for "large scale war"?

So what really happened after The Longest Day?

Hefty CIA funds may have changed hands. But in the end the “coup” could turn out to be the Greatest Russian Trolling of the West Ever.

The Mother of All Maskirovkas

Once again, facts on the ground prove Putin is the undisputed champion of Russia. After keeping a strategic silence for a few hours, his intervention gathered full support from the civilian population, the FSB, the Chechens, the Army, the Communists, everyone.

The exact terms of the deal between Luka and Prighozin, with help from the governor of the Tula region, Alexey Dyumin, are still unclear.

Prighozin said he was satisfied with the terms. Peskov confirmed on the record that a criminal case against Prigozhin would be dropped. A key Prighozin demand was the twin resignation of Defense Minister Shoigu and Chief of Staff Gerasimov. That may – or may not – happen in the immediate future.

And that brings us to the still fascinating possibility this was the Mother of All Maskirovkas. Prigozhin sets up all this circus just to get a meeting in Moscow with Shoigu and Gerasimov.

Talk about an overkill just to go out on a date.

The Mother of All Maskirovkas scenario also implies a move worthy of 5D chess.

On Saturday, Wagner was 200 km away from Moscow.

Yet on Sunday, Wagner was 100 km away from Kiev.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Tuesday that he is set to visit China next month, and according to Chinese analysts on Wednesday, Israel will seek to enhance bilateral ties with China in the regional power rebalancing process at a time when countries in the Middle East have increasingly engaged in a "wave of reconciliation" since China brokered a rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran in March. It will also serve as a reminder to the US that Israel has other diplomatic options than Washington, experts noted. 

DJ, Israel NEEDS to trade with Asia/BRIICSS+....China may find a way to end the Middle East conflict...the US/NATO exploited that conflict (a sort of new crusade...).
