Kawsachun News Special Panel: U.S. Dollar Gets Dumped
Camila Escalante talks with 3 journalists: Beirut, Nairobi, Recife (Northeast Brazil) and São Paulo, for this special panel. Brian Mier gives information that explains why we’ve commented many times about the Brazilian connection under Bolsonaro with Trump, and why it looks like there is a good connection with the Biden administration. There is good Brazil information in the discussion. Clinton Nzala speaks about the African views on Nato, how nobody gave them any attention, and now that Nato needs allies, they try to convince Africans to support them. “Africa will not dance to a malicious drummer.” Esteban Carrillo starts with an important observation saying in the Global South they immediately recognized that what happened to Russia in terms of sanctions, a superpower and nuclear country, could happen to others as well.
Camila has developed her brand and Kawsachun News as a wonderful pro, starting in Bolivia, Nicaragua and generally Central America and soon broadening out to Brazil and South America and now into wide ranging world changing conversations. Toward the end, Clinton makes such a true but really comical remark. He compares what China brings to Africa and what the US brings to Africa. He says China comes and gives a railway, or a road. The US comes and says .. You are having too many kids, we’re bringing you contraceptives. So true!

Brian Mier also did a great wrapup at the 1-hour 15-minute mark where he described the completely hollow theatre-like promise from the Biden admin of an $8 billion grant for Brazil’s sovereign Amazon Preservation Fund. … summary… These funds will never arrive anyway because the approval won’t get past the… Read more »

A tweet from Pepe: “Lula: NATO should not be near Russia’s borders. Call it a Global South position, which will never be considered by those who run the Global North.” There is good Brazil information on this discussion. I hope Pepe gets a little more bullish on Lula as time… Read more »
And just after I wrote this, Lula drops a clanger! “Explaining his view on how the hostilities could end, he suggested that the status of Crimea should be excluded from the discussion, but stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot keep the land in Ukraine.” Yes Lula, not only will… Read more »
I dont know whether he is (1) merely tone-deaf (unlikely in such an accomplished and experienced statesman), (2) like John Travolta ‘tryin’ to stay Alive’, or (3) prearranged these clearly unacceptable soundbites with Russia not to be taken seriously but like the Chinese “Peace Proposals” their intent is to embarrass &… Read more »
