🚨 Trump: "I don't think countries like Japan and China have the courage or will to open the Strait of Hormuz."
🇨🇳 China: "The Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war. You created a war out of nothing and closed the strait to the world." 🔥
US Puppet Marcos Admits the Alliance Is Fake
Philippine President Marcos, the classic US puppet who’s been happily selling out his country for American bases and photo-ops, gets asked point-blank if the US will actually fight China for those disputed reefs in the South China Sea…
“Oh my god… uh… we—we… let’s skip this.” 💀
Translation: even this obedient Washington lapdog knows damn well the much-hyped “ironclad” alliance is pure theater for the cameras.
The moment real conflict arrives, America won’t risk a single soldier or ship for his worthless rocks.
Philippines the next Ukraine ???
Duterte said it clearly years ago and it still hits hard today:
“Remember that we do not have any quarrel with China. Americans are the ones pushing the Philippine government and eventually maybe start a war. And yet America has so many bases in the Philippines now. I am sorry for my country. I would reverse the situation.”
US puppet Marcos is doing the exact opposite. Ousting the pragmatic Duterte faction so Washington can fully use the Philippines as the next Ukraine.
Fighting China to the last Filipino.
Trump’s first public use of “Eurasian Axis” — the oligarchy’s own language now admits the strategic alliance for physical-economic development of Russia, China, Iran and allies is consolidating as the living rejection of the post-1945 free-lunch system.
That Anglo-American order lived off dollar hegemony and speculative finance, extracting real wealth without producing it. Eurasian partnerships now build sovereign physical economies and infrastructure, ending the parasitic free lunch once and for all.
The Trump administration has launched effort to ‘dismantle’ the International Criminal Court, per WSJ
The U.S. never even joined the International Criminal Court.
Washington refused to ratify the Rome Statute, rejected the court’s jurisdiction over Americans, and has repeatedly opposed investigations into U.S. personnel.
Yet for years, the ICC was embraced politically when it prosecuted leaders and officials from countries that opposed or challenged the Western-led order. Now that the court has turned its attention to Israel and their US sponsors, the Trump administration reportedly wants to dismantle it.
The United States spent decades championing the ICC when it was prosecuting leaders in the Balkans, Africa, and elsewhere. It praised “international justice” when the court’s targets aligned with Western foreign policy.
If an international court is only legitimate when it prosecutes your adversaries but becomes illegitimate the moment it investigates you or your closest allies, that’s the opposite of justice. It’s a commitment to selective enforcement.
Rules for thee. Immunity for me.
Kishore Mahbubani (@mahbubani_k): The West has, in global terms, become a lonely, narcissistic civilization, self-absorbed in itself, very happy with itself, and therefore, with this narcissism, has blinded itself to the mistakes that it has made in dealing with the rest of the world.
And I want to begin the story, in some ways, with the end of the Cold War in 1990, because I’m sure you all remember how the West celebrated, how happy the West was that it defeated the Soviet Union without firing a shot, and the West thought, “Hey, we have arrived.”
And you even believed—this is amazing—almost everyone in the West believed that you had reached the end of history. Hooray! We don’t have to struggle anymore. We’ve made it. We made it to the top. We’ve achieved these liberal democratic societies, which are the best societies in the world. We succeeded. We have made it.
The rest of you, the rest of the world, you’re going to struggle. We don’t have to struggle.
And one statistic that I’m surprised that so few in the West are aware of is that the West only makes up 12% of the world’s population. Twelve percent. Eighty-eight percent lives outside the West.
And the West crazily assumed at that moment of history, when it reached the end of history, that the rest of the world would come and become replicas of the West. Copy you. Follow you. And become like you.
I’m sure you’ll all agree that that’s a somewhat arrogant assumption on the part of the West.
But that arrogance dominated the worldview of all the Western intellectuals at that time. I know it so well because, by an accident of history, I spent a year in Harvard in ’91–’92. And I drowned in that arrogance. I could feel how the West had arrived and succeeded, and the rest of you poor chaps, get used to it, adjust to it, move on.
So, the reason why that arrogance at that point was a major strategic mistake was because that arrogance put the West to sleep at precisely the moment when the other civilizations decided to wake up.
So, you close your eyes when the rest of the world was waking up.
And remember, China had started its Four Modernizations program in 1979 and, by 1989–1990, was gaining a lot of momentum. And then India also woke up around the early 1990s as a result of crisis, by the way.
In both cases, China went through a major crisis and said, “Okay, enough is enough. Time for us to get sensible and do the right thing.” India went through a major crisis and said, “Enough is enough. Let’s do the right thing.”
And, of course, what you’ve seen since then, in the case of the Chinese, the Chinese civilization has been around for 4,000 years, and the last 40 years of economic and social development in China have been the best 40 years in 4,000 years of Chinese history.
And the West said, “It cannot be. They’re not like us. They cannot be succeeding. Right?”
Because you assume to succeed, you must be liberal democratic.
So, that clearly, that’s why I think the end-of-history moment was a disastrous moment for the West because they put the West to sleep at precisely the moment when the rest was waking up.
HINDI KASAMA SI DR. JOSE RIZAL SA FOUNDERS NG KATIPUNAN.
Nung June 19 merong intrimitida ang nag-alay ng bulaklak sa Monumento ni Dr. Jose Rizal.
Dr. Rizal leaned towards education and peaceful reform. Ayaw niya ng violent revolution. Hindi niya gusto ang kabataan mamundok.
another US representative talking to the American people like they are dumb...
"China's goal is clear: global dominance by 2049!"
In reality the US has 700+ military bases around the globe including surrounding China.
China has ONE and it is part of a UN mission...
And what is the point of lying to Americans? To help arms companies steal TRILLIONS in tax dollars that should be spent on roads, healthcare, education, and actual peace and security AT HOME.
President Trump signed the US surrender to Iran at Versailles.
I hope the USA has learned that initiating wars against other nations is never the answer.
We all know that's very likely not the case.
Tab Baldwin: “We thought it was shallow water."
An interesting sentence.
Not “we checked.” Not “we had safety personnel.” Not “we had lifeguards.” Not “we assessed the current.”
Just “we thought.”
