🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦NEW VIDEO: Ukraine Update + Understanding the US Proxy War in Ukraine: First Principles vs. Fantasy On YouTube: piped.video/5lCEdPZOH3k?si=TTqC… ▪️The Western media continues presenting narratives divergent from reality to the public; ▪️The key to seeing through these deliberately misleading narratives is having a first principle understanding of the conflict in Ukraine, how and why it began and how it has been perpetuated since it began; ▪️Understanding that the US politically captured Ukraine, that Kiev no longer serves Ukrainian interests and instead serves Washington’s interests, and that the US military and intelligence agencies run the Ukraine war simply through their Ukrainian proxies, helps cut through claims that “Ukraine” refuses to compromise to US “peace” efforts;

🇺🇸 Trump Administration Warns About "Islamo-Communist" NYC Mayor as it Preps to Invite LITERAL AL QAEDA LEADER to White House... ▪️NYC Mayor candidate and now mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is being called an "Islamo-Communist" by the Trump administration despite simply telling voters what they wanted to hear before preparing to continue absolutely all the deep-state polices that have persisted for DECADES both in NYC and across the US; ▪️Trump supporters are hyperventilating over the win of Mamadani while apparently oblivious to the fact that US President Donald Trump has not only met with and shook the hand of Al Qaeda in Syria head Al Jolani who previously had a US government $10 million bounty on his head, but who is also planning on visiting the WHITE HOUSE soon; ▪️ This perfectly sums up the socio-political fantasy world Americans and many Westerners in general exist in, detached from reality, fearing absolutely benign continuity of agenda (because they were told to for the sake of dividing/distracting them) while ignoring or even cheering on actual US-sponsored terrorism and extremism the US itself created and perpetuates. This demonstrates the power of controlling information space and how obviously contradictory realities can be credibly sold to millions of people unable and ill-equipped to think for and act on their own. The fact that Americans are in fear of a man who represents neither "communism" nor "Islam" - whatever either actually even means to the average American, but indifferent to Al Qaeda being invited to the White House proves how much control the US holds over the Western public and how hopeless any sort of genuine awakening will be. If the multipolar world is to succeed it will have to do so despite winning over Western populations - not that effort shouldn't be made - but understanding the realistic limits of doing so;

🇺🇸 Too Big to Prosecute: Boeing Gets Away With Murder ▪️Criminal case regarding multiple Boeing 737 crashes killings 100s dismissed after court received request from US gov to do so; ▪️The crashes were the result of systematic profit-driven negligence that continues to this day; ▪️Similar criminal behavior also spans other industries including big-pharma and auto makers, benefiting from the same absolute impunity; ▪️I'm often asked (or even told) who runs the US government and drives US policy - I reply that it is these large multi-billion dollar multinational corporations - while many are distracted by the single-digit percentage AIPAC contributes to US political campaigns - these corporations provide the VAST MAJORITY of all lobbying money (+funding for policy think tanks) driving US foreign and domestic policy - it also grants them impunity regarding their criminal behavior; ▪️If you are distracted by scapegoats and not speaking up against these interests, you're not speaking up at all - this is what drives US unipolar hegemony and all that stems from that - this is where attention and energy needs to be directed - and it is these interests the entire Western political system is designed to protect and distract attention away from;

🇺🇸Busting the Myth of the Trump Administration's "Break" from Neo-Con Policy and the Pursuit of US Primacy Abroad Here are clips from the hearing for Austin Dahmer's nomination as Assistant Sec. of Defense for Strategy, Plans, and Capabilities. During his testimony he confirms several facts including: 1. The US never "paused" aid to Ukraine; 2. The US is NOT withdrawing from Europe, simply forcing Europe to spend more on US objectives in the region through "burden sharing" or "division of labor;" 3. The US is not "retreating" to the Western hemisphere and abandoning its containment of China - containing China remains Washington/Wall Street's TOP priority; This is reality, regardless of what "Politico" or lying politicians and naive/delusional/dishonest "analysts" say - continuity of agenda drives US policy, the US will never accept multipolarism unless multipolarism forces it to do so. Hearings, think tank papers, and think tank panels (all publicly available and for free) reflect true US foreign policy objectives while speeches and media stories distract and divide the public away from the reality of continuity of agenda. The whole hearing can be found here: armed-services.senate.gov/he…
🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Delusion or Deception: US, EU, & Ukraine's constant claims of "winning..." ▪️Even before the Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2022, US policymakers sought to provoke a war between Ukraine and Russia they knew would leave Ukraine utterly destroyed (RAND Corporation's "Extending Russia," 2019); ▪️From 2022 onward, buried deep in the Western media's own reports was emerging evidence of this reality - everything from Ukrainian manpower, arms, and ammunition shortages to growing Russian military capabilities was all admitted to under deceptively optimistic headlines; ▪️US presidents Biden then Trump, along with the EUs leadership and Washington's proxies in Ukraine all knew this truth and deliberately lied to keep the conflict going anyway; ▪️The goal is to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, raising the cost as high as possible for Russia regardless of the outcome for Ukraine or even wider Europe; ▪️If US leadership and their European and Ukrainian proxies admitted this, it would be impossible to convince Ukrainian soldiers and civilians to continue leaping into the wood chipper of proxy war or convince American and European taxpayers to continue throwing away billions in an inevitably lost war in pursuit of US hegemony, not American or European security; ▪️Hence, it is not delusion but deliberate and malicious deceit that compels US/EU/Ukrainian governments to continue depicting the conflict as anything other than a lost, needless proxy war squandering human lives and immense amounts of resources for the interests of a small handful of corporate interests and the proxies they've installed into political power; ▪️Finally, Ukraine is not trying to "deceive" Europe or Washington since it is ultimately the US military and intelligence community running the war in the first place, "Zelensky tricking Trump" is simply one of many layers of plausible deniability and scapegoating baked into this whole process to absolve those responsible for it at the expense of those being fed into the proxy war;

🇺🇸🇷🇺I will show all the questions I was asked and my full responses just to expand this conversation further: 1) A few days ago the Pentagon and the White House were reported to greenlight the Tomahawks transfer to Ukraine. How does Trump's latest remark correspond with that CNN report? Answer: By now, it should be clear to all that US President Donald Trump’s comments are meant solely as a means of misdirection and deceit, allowing the US foreign policy establishment time and space to continue escalating even as the US appears to pursue peace and conciliation. While many analysts and media platforms will over-analyze President Trump’s words, preparations for the deployment of additional weapons including possibly Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine will continue. 2) Who within the US government would benefit from Tomahawk missiles transfer to Ukraine the most? How likely is that Trump witnesses pressure on the matter? Answer: The primary objective of the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is to “extend” the Russian Federation militarily, politically, and even economically. By sending additional weapon systems including possibly the Tomahawk cruise missile, the cost of the conflict for Russia will constantly rise even if Russia appears poised to inevitably win. The deployment of these missiles will compromise more military and energy infrastructure facilities across a wider range of Russian territory as well as do more damage per attack than the Ukrainian drones US intelligence agencies are overseeing the use of against targets deep inside Russia already. Of course there are also the arms manufacturers in the United States who benefit from the constant flow of weapons, increased military expenditure by the US government on munitions, with the US “defense” budget reaching an unprecedented 1 trillion USD this year. This money doesn’t disappear into a blackhole - it ends up in the accounts of these massive multi-billion dollar arms manufacturing corporations, granting them even great wealth and influence over US foreign policy, guaranteeing continued conflict worldwide regardless of the “peace” promised by compromised US politicians including President Trump himself. . 3) In the recent CBS interview, Trump reiterated his belief to succeed in ending the Ukraine's conflict. How crucial would it be for him to prevent the delivery to reach his goal? Answer: US President Donald Trump does not and never did seek to end the Ukraine conflict. It is a US proxy war waged against Russia President Trump has blamed on his predecessor US President Joe Biden despite President Trump during his first term in office helping lay the groundwork for launching the war by beginning the flow of US weapons to Ukraine in the first place. And while President Trump’s Secretary of State, neo-conservative warhawk Marco Rubio has admitted the ongoing war in Ukraine is a US proxy war against Russia, the US demands Russia make concessions compromising its own national security in a conflict the Trump administration itself admits is unjust and thrust upon Russia. In reality, and according to President Trump’s campaign platform before the 2024 elections, the goal always was to just freeze the conflict, force Europe to spend more on rebuilding Ukraine’s armed forces, force Europe to send forces of its own to secure a buffer zone within Ukrainian territory itself, in what would essentially be a “Minsk 3.0” framework Russia would have no ability at all ever to accept. Upon forcing a freeze to the conflict, the US openly seeks to focus its resources and attention on Russia’s close ally China. Once China is encircled and contained, the US plans to work its way back to reigniting and finally winning its proxy war against Russia. So while President Trump repeatedly claims he seeks to “end” the Ukraine conflict, his actions before and after the 2024 elections tell an entirely different story, one of continuity of agenda which includes the continued pursuit of a proxy war aimed at Russia, its military, its economy, its population, and its very future.
🇺🇸💸 US arms industry profits from Ukraine conflict, geopolitical analyst says American weapons makers are the main beneficiaries of the global "constant flow of weapons," Brian Berletic (@BrianJBerletic) told Sputnik, commenting on debates over sending Tomahawks to Ukraine. 👉 The US defense budget is set to reach "an unprecedented $1T" by 2026, the expert noted, adding that Washington will keep urging Europe to fund arms for Ukraine. ℹ️ Moscow has repeatedly stated that arms supplies to Kiev hinder the settlement of the conflict.

🇺🇸 The US "Peace President" is either at war or threatening war across multiple continents... ... from threatening interventions in Mexico and Venezuela in North and South America, its continued Ukraine proxy war in Europe, threatened intervention in Nigeria and continued bombing and drone strikes in Somalia, Africa, continued occupation of Syria and Iraq and ongoing hostility vs Yemen and Iran in the Middle East, regime change operations and proxy war across Asia including in Nepal and Myanmar respectively and its continued military build up along China's borders and shores... While the US insists it wants "peace through strength" it remains at constant war all while attempting to expand its global campaign of violence even further, a complete, uninterrupted continuation of "deep state" wars cultivated under the previous Bush, Obama, and Biden administration's over the past 25 years. The US is waging a global war against multipolarism. All the Trump administration is doing is repackaging the lies needed to keep this singular continuous agenda moving forward, maintaining at least partial public support for it, and carefully managing opposition in a predictable, left-right partisan and completely neutralized manner. And it is unfortunately working all too well at least in part because of the continued failure, or even lack of a coherent multipolar counter-disinformation strategy.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 US "Stand and Fight" Strategy Amid Ukraine Proxy War... ▪️Many are rightfully perplexed over why Ukrainian commanders (and ultimately US commanders based in Germany) refuse to withdraw Ukrainian forces from hopelessly besieged and collapsing cities like Bakhmut, Avdeevka, and now Pokrovosk; ▪️But remember, the primary objective of the US proxy war in Ukraine is to extend Russia, not "save" Ukraine - in fact, the US explicitly seeks to fully spend the latter to undermine the former; ▪️When you understand this, that Ukrainian troops, their fortifications, and delaying Russian advances as much as possible, for as long as possible and at the highest cost possible, with the cost in Ukrainian lives and even ultimately territory and self-preservation no concern at all, this strategy of stand and fight makes perfect sense; ▪️Yes, withdrawals and reestablishing defenses in more logical positions like west of the Dnieper River would save Ukrainian lives and provide the best prospect of preserving at least some of Ukraine, but it would afford Russia an immediate strategic victory in the Donbass, and possibly even afford Russia a point where it could pause, rest and fully reconstitute its forces all while maintaining pressure on what is left of Ukraine and freeing up resources to confront US encroachment elsewhere along its periphery; ▪️So the fighting will continue, regardless of the outcome for Ukraine, the possibility of using European troops to swoop in and create a buffer zone and freeze the conflict means each and every Ukrainian soldier can be spent raising the cost for Russia as high as possible until then, serving US interests fully at Ukraine's expense; ▪️Understanding that this is a US proxy war, that both Ukraine AND Europe are fully expendable from Washington's point of view, helps build a clearer understanding of why the US is fighting this proxy war in the manner it does and why the proxies it has put into power in Ukraine and across the EU act so irrationally and in contradiction of what many would assume would be their best interests;

As the Trump administration builds consensus for US military intervention in oil-rich Nigeria to combat "Islamic terrorists" (Boko Haram) - remember it was the US regime change war in Libya and its backing of literal Al Qaeda terrorists there (LIFG) that helped huge amounts of weapons flood into the hands of their regional affiliates including in Nigeria... The US is a geopolitical arsonist playing fire-fighter.
these are literally the same extremists US intel whom Gabbard now presides over, created and to this day perpetuates. This rash of "Yes sir, let's intervene in Nigeria" from the neo-cons Trump hand-picked to fill his administration is part of consensus manufacturing and another hallmark of continuity of agenda continuing once again under another US presidential administration. Trump himself was just shaking hands with the biggest head-chopper Christian-killer of them all in Syria not that long ago and will be inviting him to the White House soon as Gabbard, Hegseth and others play-act "anger" at the consequences of America's own policy of building up extremists as a pretext for US intervention abroad in yet another oil-rich nation. And if Newsmax, Brietbart, and Fox don't ever bring up any of these facts, most Americans will never question it themselves just like "liberal" media controlled the narrative when Obama or Biden were in office.

🇺🇸🇨🇳NEW VIDEO: Fake Handshakes vs Continuity of Agenda: Trump Repeats 1st Term Bait & Switch on China Relations On YouTube: piped.video/5t27R1u2X_8?si=-tDD… Despite promising rhetoric from the Trump administration regarding "compromise" with China, actual US foreign policy continues dangerously accelerating toward continued encirclement and containment - just as it did during the first Trump administration as well as under the Obama and Biden administrations.

Thank you, @POTUS, for taking action and bringing attention to this mass slaughter and violence being carried out against innocent Nigerians simply because they are Christian. These murderers are driven by the same radical Islamist ideology that fuels Jihadi terrorists who continue to threaten our safety, security and freedom.

What Trump says vs the reality of continuity of agenda... Trump can call the US-China "G2" as a form of flattery to get what the US wants from China in the short-term while it openly continues encircling and containing China with the same hostile proxy-building it has used to trigger the ongoing, dangerously out-of-control US proxy war being waged against Russia in Ukraine. Stop clinging to meaningless lies told by a lying politician, and open your eyes and see what the US is still CLEARLY and ACTUALLY doing.
I met with my counterparts from Australia, Japan, and the Philippines for the second time this year to discuss increased deterrence and readiness in the South China Sea. We share an ongoing commitment to ensure peace and stability in the region and are resolute in our partnership to maintain peace through strength. @DefenceAust @ModJapan_en @dndphl

US Sec. of Defense/War Pete Hegseth warns about extremists killing Christians... ... unless it is the US government's pet terrorists in Syria killing Christians and other ethrnic/religious minorities, led by ISIS-Al Nusra leader Al Jolani who "yes sir" President Trump shook hands with and who will literally be visiting the White House soon. By the way, the "Islamic terrorists" Hegseth is threatening to kill in OIL-RICH Nigeria are armed and backed by the US in the first place to permit a constant US military presence in the region, just like ISIS and Al Qaeda were used in Syria itself. The deep state Trump-Hegseth both loyally work for knows "Christians vs. Muslims" is an easy button to push in their deeply propagandized public to allow the continuation of endless war all of these same people in the public think they voted Trump into office to stop. And it is working perfectly. Meanwhile, there are "analysts" who insist the US is transforming into a constructive member of the multipolar world even as it openly slashes and burns it at every possible opportunity...
Yes sir. The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
🇺🇸🇲🇾Once a US Stooge, Always a US Stooge ▪️Hacks posing as "analysts" have argued with me recently claiming my warnings about Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim's history as a US stooge and in particular, his role for YEARS in the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) were irrelevant considering his recent dealings with China; ▪️However, Anwar Ibrahim's dealings with China are unavoidable because of the US' literal inability to match any deal China can offer Malaysia and how damaging it would be for Malaysia to outright turn down dealing with China at all; ▪️ That should not be mistaken for a change in loyalty, as Anwar Ibrahim's recent signing of a compromising "free trade" deal with the US has been condemned by even his own recent allies who tried to win him over from his past service to the US including Dr Mahathir Mohamad who called the FTA the handing over of Malaysia's sovereignty; ▪️The type of people who work with the NED can never be trusted & will always be a liability to their nation and people - Anwar Ibrahim is no exception;

🇺🇸🇨🇳Short Memories Regarding Agreement-Incapable America ▪️Recent US-Chinese talks regarding the array of tariffs, restrictions, sanctions, and other financial, economic, and diplomatic measures the US is trying and failing to use to contain China are almost irrelevant - the US is incapable of upholding its own proposals and agreements, and certainly will not honor any agreements made from a position of weakness; ▪️"Progress" emerging from the talks will take the same form of temporary pause/reorganization before the US doubles down on another campaign of attempting to encircle and contain China - both through the above stated measures but also through the military and non-military means of coercion and political capture along China's periphery and the toppling of governments friends with Beijing (Venezuela among them); ▪️When the US has recalibrated its policy of encirclement and containment of China, it will sidestep any agreements it has made and relaunch any and all measures it thinks will undermine China's rise both within its borders and beyond them; ▪️The US doesn't do "diplomacy," - instead, what it does is buy time and space to create conditions that may not currently be optimal to achieve its long-term objective - that objective always and continues to be global primacy and the elimination of ALL rivals, adversary and ally alike; ▪️Unless this fundamental objective and the interests driving it change (and they aren't), the only thing about US policy that will change are the ways it attempts to pursue this and NOTHING else;
