Kurt Campbell is not a China hawk. For one, Xiaopeng Rick Niu visited Campbell in summer of 2023 multiple times - one to one (WH Logs). Niu is a high end player in ways most people don't know about. Niu was at the railhead of "Project White Light" which is 3 phase BRI agenda found on Hunter Biden's laptop in March 2017. Niu works at 399 Park Avenue for Starr Companies for Maurice Greenberg (AIG CEO until 2005). Starr shares the exact same floor & address with First Wall Street Capital (FWSC) run by Glenn Myles, a Facebook friend of Niu. Myles also knows Zelensky and sits on the Ukraine-US council with R James Woolsey of the CIA. FWSC - owned Magnolia LNG until 2020. This project and Texas LNG were targeted by CEFC, who gave Hunter millions in 2017, and were both swallowed up by Glenfarne Group. The GOAL: to export US LNG to Europe and China. As always: keep the Russians out, Germany down, and US interests in (via the neocons). Hunter is connected to about a dozen people that worked on these 2 LNG projects....this reflects a keen level of potential interest in these projects. Oh, Rick Niu/Glenfarne likely set up a 22% ownership stake with a Glenfarne Sponsor that likely has CEFC/Hunter as its owner. (There is no way to know without Greenberg & Traurig violating confidentiality.) Niu lives in Scarsdale, NY about 1 mile from Glenfarne Group's CEO Brendan Duval. They both work in downtown Manhattan within a mile. Their wives too. Campbell's wife Lael Brainard is on the National Economic Council....there is no initiatives to focus on the US industrial base....its all about decline, green energy submission, and wokeness. Here's a shocker: The Bidens DGAF about how this all ends. They want their payoffs. China wants to become the world's superpower... and most of this about destructing the West before anyone gets the wiser. BIdens are likely blackmailed into this position too. I have more receipts at my Sub Stack..... look up Xiaopeng Rick Niu.....and you'll likely hit my posts.

The sheer lack of moral fortitude among the political leadership is truly staggering. There are no statesmen anymore, actual diplomats. There’s just little men & women running around trying to act like adults, while the world burns around them and us . Radical ideas are certainly needed now more than ever. The whole thing is totally FUBAR . Change has to come from the bottom up because the current crop of leaders are so inadequate it’s become a complete embarrassment.

Your diplomats are competent. It is a misconception that western leaders are dumb. They are clever, they just don’t work for you. They work for corporations. This is what leads countries to have revolutions. China and Russia had to fight for their sovereignty. America and Britain had civil wars and revolutions, but they were bourgeois revolutions where one set of elites defeated another set of elites centuries ago. Russia is built on a 20th century century people’s revolution, as is China. They are more advanced despite corporate media telling us they are backwards. They point to mistakes the east makes and say that discredits the entire system and they ignore all of their own mistakes and treat them as exceptional deviations

It is not the Ukranian folks asking for money. They don't get anything. It is this guy in the olive green t-shirt asking for money. He will then buy another mansion in USA or Southern France and his wife have another shopping spree in Paris for a spending of half a million euros, maybe more. Some millions will go back to USA into pockets we already know. Some will go into the pockets of weaponry. The Ukrainians, or at least most of them moved to Poland, Germany, USA and Canada. As soon as they were allowed to travel without visa they took their SUVs and they were gone to western Europe. Some of them travel back and forth to their house in Ukraine. For Christmas they were all back home in Ukraine. Even families who allegedly left their home in Kiew spent two weeks of christmas holiday in Ukraine. In Kiew there is still normal day life and normal night life. Just check out some channels on youtube. Restaurants, Clubs, whatever you like is open and people are eating out and dancing. The military action is just in a very small area in very far Eastern Ukraine. Just imagine if there were riots and looting by some criminal gangs in LA Jolla, San Diego. Would people in San Francisco be in danger? Of course not. Same in Ukraine, just fuve small villages are involved. 98 percent of Ukraine is safe and no danger, no military action. Check out Flixbus. They go back and forth in Kiew. Normal travellings like always. People in western Ukraine are even farther away from the Donezk and Mariupol than San Francisco is from San Diego. Just get a map of Europe. A map made of paper, the size of a door. Then you will be able to find all those areas on the map. You need to find Finland and Sweden, two tiny countries with some 5 million citizens each. They are new members of nato now. Just woods and welches, almost no people are living there. It is just a big area of land close to Russia. You may want to know where nato sends your family members soon. They are building ago bases all over in Sweden and Finland now. Say goodbye to your fellows. No longer Afghanistan, now it is cold and icy northern Europe. Almost same climate as Alaska. On your smartphone you are not able to see the huge dimensions of Europe. You definitely need this big paper map. Russia is far bigger than usa and Canada combined. Ukraine is almost the size of California. 40 million people before Feb 2022, now maybe 15 million people. Imagine, how many millions does usa pay? For 15 million Ukranian people who just live their lives and go party on weekends in Kiew. They got a better live than most Americans in the mid west.

@@jacekboczarski6698 Their bias is not pro-Putin. It is anti USA. That's why they have exactly opposite view on Israel which is in worse situation than Donetsk and Luhansk was since 2014. All faced indiscriminate attacks aimed at their civilian population and infrastructure. Israel been subjected to it for decades. But Duran does not recognize it and sees them as perpetrators for using precise strikes against rocket silos of Hamas. They do not care about extensive effort Israel did put to minimize civilian casualties... phone calls to residents in target building, roof-taps. And they do voice desire to have "solutions" which will seriously damage Israel. And will enable Hamas in launching thousands of rockets at Israel every year. Yet, they do not propose anything like that in case of Donetsk and Luhansk. They fully understand that Russia is about to take out Ukraine's capability to attack those places, and will create buffer zone wide enough to prevent attacks in future. They were very factual when Azov had civilians as human shields. But pretend that Hamas doing same is nothing, and Israel is genocidal.

NATO serves a purpose as a U.S military extension on foreign soil. With this resource the U.S can wield power on remote locations far from home. Since the U.S is expressed Russia military enemy with a desire to weaken and crush russian leadership; to in extension divide up its land and natural resources into U.S posessions , Russia with ample reasons see U.S presence as an existential danger. Since the U.S is the major player in NATO and can roam freely in member countries establish military bases and so on, Russia found it unacceptable with Ukraine in NATO. Russia know U.S intentions and do not want U.S military and weapons close to its borders. How hard is that to understand ? Imagine a European defense alliance *without* the U.S The level of military tension in Europe would just about disappear ! Well, unless the U.S would then wage war on Europe.
it's cute that Alex believes the relationship between USA and Europe is an "alliance" rather than a master/servant relationship. (eg. USA blowing up NordStream and Germany supporting its master's decision) If Europe insists on planning to create belligerent situations, then it should plan to be involved in belligerent situations.

It transcends the nation-state. It’s one giant political oligarchic bloc being propped up by American hegemony militarily. “The Cold War” policy never ended because the Cold War was a euphemism for imperialism. The USSR wasn’t going around on boats invading countries, that’s “the west’s” thing. The USSR had no interest in any “war” with America. The world wars brought an end to inter-imperialist rivalries and those rivalries have consolidated into one giant capitalist bloc called “the west”.. the American military and economic hegemony is what binds it together.. America invents the rules as it goes. America uses its control of allegedly neutral institutions to keep European companies in advantageous positions globally and protect those interests in exchange for American military bases in Europe and the ability to surveil and control those populations. Europe has essentially given up their sovereignty in this deal.. U.K.’s relationship to U.S. is somewhat unique yet also not as unique as they’d like to think relative to the rest of Europe. Europeans have embraced abstract universalism as a coping mechanism for their egregious actions.. they preach about ideals they have never followed and claim these ideals got them where they are. They claim anyone who strays from these fake ideals is backwards. They equate nationalism with fascism because they project their own racism onto others. Nationalism means something different to a German than it does to a Russian because they are two different national narratives. The idea that all national narratives are inherently reactionary is an idea that comes out of a society that hates itself, whether that self-hate is justified is irrelevant, it doesn’t accomplish anything.. and the words don’t match the actions.. France is still colonizing Africa. The cognitive dissidence is sociopathic

Since World War II, American foreign policy has adhered to a clear guiding principle: "You are either with us or against us." Despite their international strategy's ethical concerns, brutality, and repulsiveness, the concept of self-defense includes the act of claiming genocide. Any nation that ignores the abhorrent and inhumane characteristics of its policy is in direct opposition to them. No nation has the authority to voice dissent or criticism. Every nation should adhere to its authority, as the balance of power determines what is just. Their foreign policy reflects a deeply ingrained mindset of dominance and control. Their dictionary defines genocide denial as an act of self-defense. Even Russia and China are within their reach. Their norms are characterized by lies, deception, and human indignity, all of which are deeply ingrained in their consciousness.

That was the price the world paid for dragging the US into WW2 and having a key role in destroying fascism. Of course, that was a long time ago, and it's time for that to end. Because the US has gained some of the characteristics of the fascism that it displaced. If we were smart, we'd become more isolationist and let the rest of the world tear itself apart, while we armor up and make sure nobody can threaten us from anywhere in the world. We should abandon globalism and go back to benign but powerful nationalism. We need defensible borders. We don't need to station troops anywhere off US soil, but we should have a navy, air force, and space force that guarantees nobody dares attack us anywhere. And we should mind our own business.

On another subject the Europeans, especially the British and French, whining about American foreign policy is very rich indeed. The roots of current American foreign policy are the continuation of European colonial policy at the request of the Europeans because they saw America as having the muscle and wealth to keep their dying empires alive which of course they were far too weak and pathetic to do so on their own after the second World War.

It’s not complicated, corporations control western governments and western media and therefore they demonize states that are not controlled by corporations. The words “capitalism” and “communism” provoke emotional reactions that have been cultivated for generations, but labels obscure substance.

It is difficult to gauge trump’s ideology, because he mostly says whatever will wind up the crowd of the moment.

We know that membership of the EU means transferring sovereignty and policies to Brussels. One reason why the UK dropped out of the Club. Less recognised is that membership of the EU has also inferred strategic hostility towards Russia. Proven by the events in Maidan in 2014, for instance. And by the hawkish actions of the EU Commission since 2022 towards countries attempting to create a bridge with Russia. Despite this, Ukraine's earlier interest in joining the EU faced little initial pushback from Moscow. After Putin attempted to foster better relations with the EU.
