From @phillipspobrien.substack.com "Neither #China nor the #USA understand the value of #allies. Allies are vital to winning #wars and establishing predominance in times of #peace. Those [framing] the #Indo-Pacific as a U.S.-China confrontation [should] remember this. ... The power that does understand this [may be] the power that prevails in the struggle for control of the Indo-Pacific—the most vital area of the world, economically and strategically."

@AnnieBuddy @TomWellborn
It became hard to discern what is truth or not in post-truth times when insane governments appear to mainly act on selfish and/or bigoted impulses.
That said the majority of USA citizens have ancestral roots tracing back to colonizers, while the true indigenous people of the first nations lands are the Native Americans.

And by the way, Donald Trump maternal grandparents, Elizabeth Christ Trump (née Kühn) & Friedrich Christ Trump, were immigrants from Germany who came to the United States during the late 19th century.

“The #Signal #leak was never about an #app. It was a diagnostic stain, exposing the rot festering beneath the Mythic US’s #veneer of #democracy and #law. The fleeting obsession with #encryption #protocols and personnel errors encapsulated the farce: a society expertly trained by its #distraction #machine to fixate on trivialities while the Operational US – the militarist-oligarchic core – wages #illegal #wars with #psychopathic #impunity

“Wars begin with words, and we have to take words seriously, at the time when they matter most, which is now. When we see the truth of where this is all meant to go, we can prevent it: by calling out the big liars and telling the small truths.”
—Timothy Snyder, Blame Canada

🔴#Defeating #Fascism in the 21th Century – N° 16 of Lêgerîn #Magazine is out now!

The #wars, #genocides and #revolts of #peoples around the #world reflect the dead-end at which the #capitalist class finds itself. Fascism is therefore back on the agenda to serve as a method of ruling in the Third #World #War.
