DJ, biden lost his debate with trump...both old criminals may be out of much public support...still western main stream media represents it as a "top act of democracy"....

In the UK the uni-party freakshow is the same kind of political disaster....

Most western citizens are AGAINST wars with Russia-Iran-China..."politicians-for-sale" push for more conflict (and profits for shareholders in the war industry).

MS mentioned "new recruits" picked up in UKraine to fight for zelenski/NATO try to surrender as fast as possible. They provide Russia with the best info they have to end the UKraine bloodbath...Daily UKraine fighters killed may be above 2,000....

The "nazi-NATO" is getting more Dutch "leadership";

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer ; Admiral Robert Peter Bauer (born 11 November 1962) of the Royal Netherlands Navy has been serving as Chair of the NATO Military Committee since June 2021, succeeding Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach of the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom.

and NATO secretary general https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rutte or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rutte ;Rutte will take up the post of NATO Secretary-General in October 2024.

DJ-my view; The Dutch still play a major role in "global politics". The historic US-UK-NL "powerblock" may still exist. (And I do not know if that is good or bad...)

USrael may have already seen very high losses in its military. (Over 70,000 wounded/killed ????) So the USrael military may not be happy with the idea of a war with Lebanon-and very likely Syria...Again; https://southfront.press/israeli-threat-to-syria-grows-quietly/ or https://southfront.press/israeli-threat-to-syria-grows-quietly/ ;In response to this apparent threat, a joint Russian-Syrian exercise to practice defending the Arab country’s “territorial integrity” began on June 5.

DJ; USrael-NATO proxy would have to commit suicide to fight Russia and Iran in West Asia. "Tactical nuclear weapons-battlefield use" could be used by USrael...of course both Iran and Russia will react.

USrael did send some fighter aircraft (and navy) ????? to Cyprus (UK bases ???). So in an all out war also Cyprus may be pulled in the war...(with "Greek" and "Turkish" Cyprus conflict also worsening ?).

In Sudan US backed "rebels" fight Russia backed government forces creating a famine under extreme heat 50C+....

Lots of diseases may be spreading in and from Africa...but we do not test so "we do not know".....

Somehow it is no problem (for NATO) to drop bombs all around the globe within 24 hrs...Getting aid to those places is "impossible"....

We have to change priorities ! NATO can be a force of peace, providing aid to where it is needed. The present "nazi" NATO is supporting genocide ! We have to do better !

Here in NL again legal steps to stop sending spare parts for F35-fighter jets to USrael. The court ordered NL government to stop that export...so NL is now exporting it to a US base...so the US is exporting NL made spareparts used by USrael to mass murder Palestinians...

Russia Approves Long-pending Military Pact with India | Vantage on Firstpost

Russia has approved a long-pending military pact with India that covers sharing of military facilities and logistics. India has also signed similar deals with the United States, France and some Southeast Asian countries. How will this military pact improve India-Russia cooperation? How will the West react to it? Alyson le Grange tells you.

DJ (Alyson le Grange is from South Africa I think...) India Army using 85% of weapons with Russian origen....Russia and India will allow more military usage of eachothers (air)ports...So more Russia activity in the Indian Ocean...India may get "more room" in the Russian Arctic...

India also telling both "the west" and China they go for India interests first.

As a reminder India in population now #1, China #2...GDP-PPP China #1, US #2, India #3 and Russia #4...Japan #5.

TRUTH COMES OUT: Government Revises DOWN KEY Economic Indicator Signaling Economic Trouble Ahead

DJ, LP asking what US economic statistics mean if they need revision all the time...

Pumping up US statistics for election reasons may mean "bad economic news" after the US-november-elections...

DJ, "The west" self destruction going further.... A major -netanyahu- war in West Asia will see exploding energy prices...

BRICS+ is "de-financing" the west...

DJ...UKraine is a bankrupt proxy state run by neo-nazi's....Including UKraine in the EU is blowing up the EU....

The "new" EU leadership; vonderlügen still leading the EU to destruction by now makes me anti-EU....This is NOT the EU most Europeans need....Expanding the EU with Moldova, Georgia, UKraine is madness....

In times of pandemics and climate collapse we do need international cooperation...This EU is a war-promotion-team....

BRICS+ may have serious divisions-mainly between India and China...however both countries do see the need to work together...India-China trade is growing -in the interests of both India and China.

India is a major partner of Iran. So-with India trying to "find a balance with the west" India main partners -Iran and Russia- are in a war with the west...

DJ-We are NOT in an "open" World War Three (or World War five, six...whatever...) but every day we are getting closer to it...

Mpox, lots of flu-types, CoViD etc. is NOT under control...ALL have pandemic potential-if not already a pandemic....AGAIN !!! We need international cooperation both on pandemics and the underlying-major reason for pandemics-climate collapse !

Wars did already see major wildfires in both UKraine and USrael...Even non-nuclear escalation of these wars may bring such a level of destruction it will further endanger human survival...

DJ, The big question at present is when biden will step down....Will "democrats-for-sale" still keep supporting this demented old man for "four more years" ? Do those "democrats" want to see trump win ?

UKraine is collapsing...USrael/netanyahu may want "more war" but only if the US/NATO is going to fight that war...An USrael invasion of Lebanon could start a war with Syria, Iraq, Iran even maybe Türkiye, Egypt...

The "pinochet-style" coup in Bolivia proved to be another US foreign disaster....Further pushing away Latin America/rest of the world from a US "led" "west"...

Military Summary mentioned North Korean forces soon may show up in UKraine...dependent on elections also Iran forces could show up...US/NATO drones over the Black Sea guiding "UKraine/NATO" attacks will be brought down....

DJ-Will Russia use "A-Sat" Anti Satellite weapons to stop NATO satellites - bringing this NATO-BRICS war into space ?

The German vice-PM was NOT welcomed by high Chinese officials...Germany pushing for -also- a trade war with China; further undermining the German economy...I do not get it why the "liberals" keep supporting this SDP/"green" coalition...Maybe in new elections they simply may get kicked out...stay under the 5% voter treshold....

In the UK sunak may see his conservative party destroyed in july 4 elections...Macron in France has "no chance" in the upcoming elections....

Still vonderlügen will go on destroying the EU, mark rutte will destroy NATO....

The biggest risk is in desperation...zelenski attacking nuclear power plants, netanyahu going nuclear against any of its neighbours...a lot of them untill recent willing to "live with Israël"...Gaza destroyed that...

The more insanity from an isolated west the more the "rest" is sticking together...The "west" is crumbling apart...

DJ-I think there may be a lot of "western leaders" telling the US to get a president...Get rid of biden...

With both climate and pandemic problems getting worse the "west" is without leaders...only followers...

DJ, Is the US crisis "the mother/father of a lot of other crises"?

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/06/the-dnc-campaign-to-oust-biden-has-failed.html or https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/06/the-dnc-campaign-to-oust-biden-has-failed.html ;

The DNC Campaign To Oust Biden Has Failed

Yesterday's assault by the Democratic National Council on the Joe Biden campaign has failed.

Thursday night, as soon as the Trump-Biden debate had started, anonymous DNC officials contacted their usual 'liberal media' contacts and denounced Biden's performance. Even those media, like CNN and MSNBC, who have for years denied the obvious problems Biden has had, jumped onto the train. Biden, they said, should retreat.

The New York Times mobilized a slew of its opinion writers to convey the message:

But Joe Biden's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, resisted the move:

President Biden knew immediately after stepping off the stage in Atlanta on Thursday night that the debate had gone wrong. In those first stricken moments after a raspy, rambling and at times incoherent performance, he turned to his wife, Jill Biden.
...
The first lady’s message to him was clear: They’d been counted out before, she was all in, and he — they — would stay in the race. Her thinking, according to people close to her, was that it was a bad night. And bad nights end.
...
So Dr. Biden spent the 24 hours after the debate putting her decades as a political spouse to the test, projecting confidence and normalcy while effusively praising her husband.

Pushed along by his wife Joe Biden did not step back. The DNC assault on his campaign had failed.

Late last night former President Barack Obama, likely the man behind the 'oust Biden' campaign, publicly through the towel.

Barack Obama @BarackObama - 18:36 UTC · Jun 28, 2024
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. http://joebiden.com

Gleen Greenwald commented on Obama's intervention:

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald - 19:17 UTC · Jun 28, 2024
Once the media starts to realize that they're not going to get Biden out of the race, they're all going to quickly retreat from the past 24 hours and get back on board.
Obama is directing them to do that and giving them the script to use:

The campaign to oust Biden has failed, but the damage is done.

Even pro-Biden voters will, from now on, watch diligently to find the flaws in the next Biden speech or debate.

It will be hard to rebury that issue.

DJ, https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ny-times-editorial-board-urges-biden-quit-race-did-trump-administer-premature-kill-shot or https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ny-times-editorial-board-urges-biden-quit-race-did-trump-administer-premature-kill-shot ;

Thursday night's presidential debate mortally wounded President Biden's political career, and now the New York Times has hammered a significant nail in the coffin -- publishing an editorial bluntly declaring that "the greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election."

With this development, Biden's departure from November ballots is taking on an air of inevitability. At the same time, Team Trump is reckoning with what may have been a strategic error -- enabling a premature kill shot that could leave Trump facing a worse matchup.

Very likely trump would love to see biden run for elections....

Both the UKraine and USrael wars against BRICS+ depend on US/biden support...

Claiming in public support for biden may hide by now almost all support for biden is gone...The US is in a deep crisis....

Again-a risk may be netanyahu, zelinsky trying to force their own agenda...expecting the US to follow their escalation...

Another risk is "biden trying to show strength"....and escalating beyond a point of return....

And then there are "wild cards"; Korea conflict, Kashmir (India-Pakistan AND China) or another coup...maybe resulting in a new civil war...

With UK (july 4) and French elections (june 30-july 7) both parliament...the "picture is changing"...

FAB-3000 is breaking the Ukraine military

DJ; (shorter video-22 minutes0

The Duran discussing a.o.

-North Korean forces into UKraine ?

-"trump peace plan"...

Both may be "fake news"....Military Summary mentioned both...I try to "balance" it...

-In the US elections "trump will end wars" is trump propaganda...When trump was president he may not have started new wars...but also did not end old ones...Moved even closer to USrael...

It is the "circles around the president" that matter...The US war industry needs wars for profits...A US rich elite is in fact in power...

Some critics claim the US is NOT a democracy...Every US$ counts NOT every US vote...

Besides that-the US is out of position to decide on UKraine or USrael...BRICS+ did take that position. The "west" (US-led) has positioned itself on the margin...

Early 2022 "the west" still could claim to have some sort of "power position"...But NATO failed AGAIN in UKraine like they failed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen etc.

I most of all blame biden for weakening the west...The UKraine war could and should have been avoided !

Then-2008-US ambassador in Moscow, now head of CIA, did warn Russia would NOT accept UKraine into NATO/US bases in UKraine...

Obama warned Russia had "escalation dominance" in UKraine...

So why repeat the mistakes NApoleon, nazi's made ? NAto finds itself now in a losing war with Russia...BRICS+ (extra) defunding the west...

US wars are paid by US debts...not only China but also countries like Japan, Belgium etc. are dumping US debts...pushing up US interest rates...But even high interest rates will not do the job if the west simply steals foreign assets...

Stealing Russian money in the west (like stealing Venezuela, Afghan etc. reserves) means countries simply do NOT put ANY money/value under west9ern) control...

UKraine, USrael only can fight their proxy wars against BRICS+ members Russia and Iran if "the west" is sending money/weapons...

The wars by now did cost TRILLIONS !!!...Voters have had enough of it !

So in the UK, France elections this week will change the situation...In the US biden has run out of support...He will NOT run for the US democrats in US november elections ! (My view)...

The "news" of North Korea sending grenades, engineers comes from the US (via South Korea).

In part it was meant to "claim" Russia is weak...But that is one way of "positioning info"...

North Korea "Kim" wants to get out of isolation...If Russia can get "war stuff" at a low cost (food !) then Russia may be willing to make deals with "NK"...

Russia-China (in Vladivostok talks) were trying to get a reunited Korea...The US -in confrontation with China- did send more "military" to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan...

So Putin visiting North Korea in part is in reaction to US "activity"...

Do Putin and Xi discuss international issues ? Of course !

BRICS+ enlargement/integration is "high" on the agenda !

From Serbia, Belarus to North Korea all play a role in EurAsian integration...

BRICS+ would "love" to restart trade with the west...Not because of "western sanctions"...Those sanctions in many ways did become a blessing...

Trade is in the (national) interests of countries like India, China, Iran...For North Korea/kim...IF Russia is willing to make any kind of deal with him/NK that already is a victory...

Russia state owned/controlled war industry is "strategic" and running 24/7 without being much of a burden for the rest of Russia...Limiting Russian soldiers killed/wounded is a major goal.

Still very likely the UKraine war did see tens of thousends Russian soldiers killed...

The only way Russia/Putin can continue the war(s) is offering perspectives;

-Russia economy is growing

-Russia winning wars...

-Russia becoming (again) an important international player...

If North Korea, Iran, Syria would be willing to send extra help it may lighten the burden and also have propaganda value...A.o. Cuba would have had "volunteers" in UKraine...

DJ-Since the CIA imported IS-Uyghur fighters very likely in "intel" China may have some people in UKraine...Very likely UKraine neo-nazi's did not like the IS-fighters...so they may have been airlifted back to Syria (by NATO)...

Again...the "main front" in the NATO-BRICS+ war is economy...High inflation/spending cuts means voters vote for change in the west...

Ukrainians Are Losing Tanks In ECHELONS | The Defense Of Pokrovsk Collapsed. MS 2024.06.30

DJ, From minute 19;

-UKraine frontline western weapons got locked in...bridges to the west blown up by Russian strikes. So western provided weapons...hundreds of them...left behind or destroyed...

-UKraine now transporting by rail strategic reserves from west UKraine...UKraine trainsystem using the old Russian/Soviet rail width...so west European trains can not use UKraine rails...Most of UKraine rails was electric...but electric grid is destroyed...90% of capacity is gone...

-Russia now destroying western train loads of tanks, weapons...

-UKraine seems to be that desperate; if 40-50% of weapons reach frontlines they will run the risk...

In the recent past UKraine accepted 70% losses in "offensives"...So 7 out of 10 fighters getting killed to get some (often PR) "win"...

-If possible UKraine still shelling/bombing civilian Russian targets...further wasting western-limited-supplies...

DJ-The US did stop patriot-air defense on route to USrael to be send to UKraine...Russia now shooting down patriot missiles...

UKraine "new fighters" may be "very young" or 60+ ....often refusing to go on (suicide) offensives...

------------

UKraine in a military sense is now collapsing...Even if "the west" would send "boots on the ground" it may not change the outcome...

Money meant to build defensive lines was "gone" because of corruption...Very likely quite a lot of western weapons also went on the criminal market...

So the war that can not fail is failing....

-----------

Russia very likely is NOT interested in taking over ALL of UKraine...Russian background civilians live in the south and east...Also economic value (mining, industry, ports) in those regions...

So Odessa, Charkow will become Russian...just like most of the south and east of UKraine by now is already under Russian "Novo Rossia/New Russia" control...

My view; Poland, Hungary, Romania may have been in contact over their gains in the region...Some parts of western UKraine may be returned to Poland-restoring a 1939 border...Hungary may get a small part east of their border...Moldova (and Snake-Island) return to Romania ?

In return those countries may "need to change policies"...

DJ-The EU promissed a lot to get eastern Europe into the EU...However it did not deliver that much...and the price is getting to high...

Baltic States have the Baltic Sea-Finland link...However the Balkan are Slavic people-in many ways more linked with Russian/Slavic/Orthodox culture...

NATO again is losing major wars...western economies are collapsing...So why should SE Europe stick to "the west/EU/NATO ?

DJ-Is BRICS+ working on its own deal for SE Europe ? Discussing what to do with (parts of) UKraine, Moldova...with Serbia, Hungary...maybe even Romania, Poland, Greece ????

-For SE Europe the USrael conflict is near their borders...Escalation may see Cyprus, maybe even Türkiye involved.

The refugee crisis is an outcome of NATO wars...

IF (!!!!) Türkiye "distances" itself even more from NATO (maybe a NATO member in name only...) it will influence the south of Europe...Even Italy, France...Spain may "move"...

Alastair Crooke : How the West Lost Russia

DJ, Russia forming a "military cooperation" (outside the CSTO?). The Putin visit to North Korea, Vietnam may be linked to it...

DJ-Very likely Putin will make such plans in tandem/talks with Xi/China. (my view)

Very likely both;

Russia

China will be members...

Vietnam ?

North Korea

Belarus

Serbia

Cuba

Nicaragua

Venezuela

In Africa Egypt ? South Africa ? Angola ?

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysWxUu-0BRg or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysWxUu-0BRg (Russian source ?)

Il-76: The Ultimate Carrier for FAB-3000 and FAB-9000 Bombs

DJ, The Flying Aerial Bomb-3000 has 3000 kilo explosives...An explosion may leave a 15 meter deep crater...blow away an area up to 500 meter radius...An IL-76 may carry up to 24 of that kind of bombs..

see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-9000 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-9000 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-5000 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-5000

The basic idea goes back to World War Two-1942...In the video the claim is these FAB-bombs replace tactical nuclear weapons (for battlefield use). A plane can drop these kinds of bombs up to 80kilometer/50 miles from the target-so airdefense may not be effective against the aircraft...

Air defense may be used against these FAB-bombs...but a massive launch would overwhelm most air defense (certainly in combination with drones).

Russia may be spreading these kind of weapons to "shared enemies of the west"...Via Iran Yemen Houthi's now have hypersonic missiles...the US itself does not yet have hypersonic missiles (at least that is what I make of it...).

These kinds of weapons change the NATO proxy wars by UKraine, USrael...

JN asked Alaster Crooke if "the west" understands the changes in global finance-made by BRICS+...(one idea on its way may be a "grain/food OPEC")...I think AC is correct...The "west" is blind...

So a "new cold war"close to a hot war-is consuming trillions...Climate disasters claim trillions...Pandemics cost trillions...and there is only a limited amount of money to be created...

-Israeli generals want a ceasefire in Gaza to be able to deal with "other crises"

-In UKraine growing pressure to also find a way out...

Under all this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYi49VJTO9Q or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYi49VJTO9Q The Duran (among many others) ;

Biden debate debacle

DJ, the position of biden is getting impossible...

In France anti-war politics did win. In the UK sunak has to go...(july 4 elections)...In Germany also the pro-war politics is dealing with lots of opposition...

https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/07/inflation-rose-to-3-2-in-june-highest-level-since-january/ or https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/07/inflation-rose-to-3-2-in-june-highest-level-since-january/ ;

Inflation in the Netherlands increased to 3.2% in June, mainly due to rising food prices, according to preliminary figures by statistics agency CBS.

The uptick followed two months in which inflation stood at 2.7%. Service and energy costs also rose, continuing the upward trend in May. The last time it stood at 3.2% was in January.

The cost of industrial goods excluding fuel fell by 0.5%, less than the 1.8% year-on-year drop recorded in the previous month.

DJ, Bad weather=bad food prices...Wars=high energy costs (even if they are not further increasing...).

People now face the costs of NATO agression...So they stop supporting NATO proxy mass murders by USrael, UKraine...US, UK, NATO...

Also the "phantasy" of UKraine-very bankrupt/corrupt-joining the EU is "shocking"...

DJ, my view;

The NATO-west has lost its wars against BRICS+....In PR they have find ways to "give it a twist". Elections, replacing biden are part of the "twist"....

So "we" are supposed to blame sunak, macron, biden..."new leaders" will do better !

Of course if you do not change the underlying problems the symptoms will not change...

There are limits to debts, to "man power", even to energy, food/fertiliser...

The outcome of western sanctions overuse is all those countries dealing with western sanctions stick together...Create their own international trade system, including payment outside the US$...

US/NATO may be able to send limited new weapons to its proxies USrael, UKraine but -slowly- even present western idiot-leaders do get the point it will make matters only worse...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Jw5D9SR2k or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Jw5D9SR2k Lena Petrova-LP/USA;

16,000 Sanctions FAILED: World Bank UPGRADES Russia's Economy, Indicates Income Growth

DJ, So Europe stopped buying energy directly from Russia ? They did learn fast enough other countries would buy that energy...So "the shock" of the energy sanction -for Russia- was very limited...The back lash for Europe was much harder...

The US only could offer limited alternatives in LNG...at a much higher price. EU stored gas in Western Ukraine...Russia blew that mega-storage to pieces...

At the end EU/Europe is buying Russian energy -in finished products (diesel etc) from India, Türkiye even China...also at a higher-direct- cost.

The indirect costs are buying finished products-so refinaries in the west may be of limited use...Sanctions made BRICS+ only stronger...

Stealing Russian (Venezuela, Afghan etc.) reserves in the west resulted in BRICS+ looking at ways how to use/freeze western reserves under their control + pulling back reserves under western control...

Confrontation-insanity, started by crazy joe biden, destroyed the west !

You can invade smaller countries...Libya, Iraq, Grenada, Panama...Obama did warn Russia had escalation dominance in UKraine...

The goals were saving the US$ for global trade-so the US could continue creating debts-with others paying for it (by buying US bonds, US$ for international trade).

Saving western domination over the globe-like we had the last 500 years....BRICS+ now is-more or less-in control over global energy, food trade and an alternative financial system/banking...

My (DJ) reason to claim the west has lost its wars with BRICS+ is -by now- major western companies start accepting the "west" has to give up ideas of regaining western dominance...

Big companies, finance behind it, may decide it is time to switch policies...It was not their idea to go for full confrontation...

So next will be damage control...BRICS+ companies may buy themselves in in western companies...(Car-maker Volvo is Swedish in name-owned by China...Swedish IKEA in Russia was sold to an Indian company..).

It is NOT in the interest of BRICS+ to destroy the west/the US$ or the Euro/€...they rather do trade with the west...

So-to allow myself some optimism-western political changes may bring a restart of global trade...Most of the public may not even know/notice the major changes 'at the top"...

The alternative is to create more debts, de-militarize NATO or/and go nuclear...suicide...
