Two Worlds in collision

Amarynth

It is hard to keep up with two worlds.  An old Anglo Saxon world and a new Multipolar world.   We are still assessing BRICS and SCO Summits, and now the UN General Assembly is running:

Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff in their video with Nima yesterday, explained very clearly and detailed, that the west is implementing a hard colonialism.  Sometimes we can see a neo-colonialism and at times just a hard colonialism.  In addition, the Trump administration is working hard to make the new colonies and previous friends now becoming colonies,  pay real money and commodity tribute for their enslavement.  Michael and Richard gave examples, and there are many more.  We can write a post on this alone,  but this post is meant to grab the headlines instead of the detail.

1. South American countries now led by collective West implanted neo-colonial criminals:  Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia have signed a landmark agreement to form a mining power bloc — pooling copper and lithium reserves to shift the center of gravity in global resource geopolitics.   The four nations collectively control a massive share of global copper and lithium — with the potential to generate more than half of all global copper production.  The energy transition and AI infrastructure are projected to drive a 400–600% surge in global demand for these minerals over the next decade.  And the capital is flowing – Argentina’s RIGI incentive regime has attracted major investments — McEwen Copper’s $240M loan for Los Azules, Rio Tinto’s $15M in Mogotes Metals.

In addition, the US has decided to redirect $52 million in foreign military financing to four countries in South America, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.  The funds, which subsidize purchases of American military equipment, are being reallocated from Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Iraq to Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, the news agency said, citing a State Department notification to Congress.

2. Poland is now slated for a brand new US military base.   After all the talk about NATO not moving one iota East, and Russia saying that they will by hook or by crook stop Europe’s war against them, (It will be a short war), The Trump administration plants a base in Poland.  We all know that the bases cannot be advertised any longer as US security, because we all watched what happened in West Asia, where the bases are in rack and ruin.  So, somewhere high up on an escalation ladder, they plant one in Poland.  This is on Russia’s borders, and the hunger to break and own Russia does not reduce.  This empire does not have a stop to their craving, no matter how much Ozempic they suck up.    I don’t need to talk about borders and what borders Poland.   They of course want Kaliningrad Oblast as well, as we’ve seen from the destabilization over months.  No, it is not the US alone, it is NATO and the Europeans that are fanning the destabilization flames.   And who says the German weapons build-up is meant for Russia today.  They could be aiming for France, for Belgium and Greece, they already have, as Israel crawled in with forked tongue promises of long and productive alliances.   Morocco is not slow either.  After 3 years of genocide, the killing of over 100,000 people in Gaza, and the attacks on Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen — Morocco has decided to exchange ambassadors with Israel and open an Israeli embassy, as well as reinstate direct flights to and from Tel Aviv.   Serbian President INAUGURATES Israeli-designed COMBAT DRONE PLANT in NEW defense partnership.  Vučić: ‘Our plans are HUGE’ — says Serbia expects 3 more factories with ISRAELI PARTNERS

We welcome the brand-new colonies of Poland, Greece, Morocco, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Serbia, the fresh buy of Saudi Arabia with 48 new warplanes and next week Trump wants to gather with the Arab family dictatorships to ‘see what they think’ (of paying tribute of course).    Welcome South Africa to your status of being a colony again, paid for with the extension of the AGOA agreement.  It is your problem you know.  In the last 15 years of BRICS, you could not get your act together to change your buying and selling habits.  Strange that BRICS does not want to trade with you.  I wonder why?   Well, I actually know.  South Africa snagged a new loan from the New Development Bank.   ZAR R16.3bn loan to fix failing municipal services in eight major metros.  See, the metros take the taxes and eat ’em and this has now continued since the 1994 Freedom Election.  So, this loan with a 5 year period of no payments seems good, until one takes a look at the requirements.  “This is a performance-based loan with financing linked to institutional strengthening and the achievement of independently verified measurable performance targets that are approved by metro Councils for their trading service.”  I will put money in the slot machine that this will not work and that second rounds will not be paid out.  It is the trend.

Recruitment Drive

So what we have today is the most major recruitment drive of countries between multipolarity and anglo saxxon .  Everyone is recruiting and sweetening the pot, the one with hard work and peace, good governance and care for people, and the other with tribute and war and of course, winning! hidden behind “we will protect you, democracy and all that Ra Ra”.

It is a shock to the system of all thinking people to see countries fall for the Anglo Saxon shtick, one more time.

The pretense that parts of the Anglo Saxon world and the US is in disagreement in daily media reports, is only sports reporting,  wrestling if you like.   We have to keep watching the trend.  And the trend is ‘onwards to Russia’.  Go get Ivan!  They can pay us tribute so that we never have to take responsibility or make a living for ourselves again.  Let’s out game China or at least, keep something in there for us.  We will see next week who out games who.  Xi Jinping is not staying long.  We will also see very soon what changes are beginning to institutionalize in the UN.

FM Lavrov’s speech, posted yesterday,  gave us a good assessment of exactly what Russia’s thinking is.  They’ve said it, but now Lavrov said it in so many words.  The war with Ukraine is now a US war.  BRAVO Lavrov.  At Last.

Adding this piece after Lavrov’s speech, just for fun. One should definitely moon that fellow.

Russia’s new oilfields and Northern passage will certainly help the Asian Countries.  Review the speech of Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing Singapore’s Defense Minister, and you will clearly see the difference in approach.   The Asian countries in general have a better feel for what is happening in the world.

I’ve noted changes from South Korea. The news is out that they may be hesitating and trying to get out of the Anglo Saxon colonial world.

-South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said Seoul will not send troops in a way that could draw the country into an overseas conflict, while stressing the need to protect nationals and energy shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking at a televised press conference in Seoul, he said the government is still reviewing limited measures after an investigation team returned from the UAE to assess regional security, as Seoul weighs contributions to freedom of navigation.

-The remarks come amid mounting pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump for South Korean involvement around Hormuz, a critical route for crude oil flows. Lee said the country has observed a principle of non-engagement in war and will maintain it, while noting that the Cheonghae unit has already expanded the scope of its mission and that additional steps are under review.

-Lee also said renewed dialogue between North Korea and the United States cannot be ruled out and would help restart inter-Korean engagement. He argued such talks would support stability on the Korean Peninsula.

📌 Good work South Korea. Now stay with it! The stability part is simply thrown in to try and get the DPRK to talk nukes. They’ve already said that their system is cast in stone and they are not talking and then they shoot a few missiles, just testing ya’know. Really cool dudes – their answer is with a bang!

So as we wait for the UN General Assembly, Prsident Xi Jinping’s short visit, the BRICS fighting the sanctions regime with alternative currencies and new methods of financial integration, this post may explain to you why we select and post what we post. One of the very best videos of this past week was Alastair Crooke’s history on West Asia in his talk with Nima. And then of course, what we can expect and what is dark, looking at the trend.

Macklemore is a trend! I wrote to our Chinese Group on this:

Macklemore’s “Hinds Hall” is going to be the ANTHEM of the year in more than one country.

In the modern music genres it is like the proverbial assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.  For a young generation, this is the anthem that psychically and physically joined them to this war, and the understanding that the Israelis are vampires.

In the genre of those old protest songs from the ’60’s but only modern HipHop style.  Go look for it – it is everywhere, X, all streaming media but on YouTube, suddenly you have to declare your age.  If you are not into HipHop, which I am not, get those lyrics!  Shake off the stiff upper lip, I am convinced this song has a place on earth.

BRAVO MACKLEMORE!

HIND’S HALL Now Available on Streaming. All Proceeds to UNRWA. https://t.co/daXnWRmBHE pic.twitter.com/J0Ft6wjuSv
