And with the supply chain terrorist attack by Israel on Lebanon, who the hell will trust anything manufactured in the West now?

Buy Chinese, its the only way to be safe.

The West cannot be trusted with anything.

Utter filth.

And just wait until Russia turns the screws on enriched uranium, heavy crude, titanium, nickel etc.. That is their trump car, and they are waiting for just the right time to play it.

And lets not pretend Russian satellites did't guide that Houthi missile that Iran gave them.

Thank you Dr. Diesen for sharing your knowledge. There might not be a "lack of political imagination to address the new political realities in the world." It might rather just be more comforting to hold on to past paradigm. I wrote a little snippet on propaganda, which might be of interest to readers. https://quannguyen128.substack.com/p/first-instrument-of-war.

I really liked how Dr. Diesen points out that the downward spiral of the West is building on itself -the more it lashes out, the more trouble its economies are in, so the more frantically it flails, hurting itself further, while the failing war in Ukraine and genocide in Gaza are also adding to the downward momentum.

All the current events and processes have taken a momentum which can only be explained as a conscience crisis of the collective West. All their values are falling appart, as the US Empire loses its cover, along with Israel. They both have constituted a Secret Empire since the Dallas Secret Coup, its pact was sealed by the blood of president Kennedy. That's why all Western values are falling. The American people and the Whole World are being compelled now to aknowledge that is has been a Criminal Enterprise ever since. The US Empire must be dismanttled by the American People, of course, but the people of all nations, We must help them to do it. Otherwise, It will bring Armageddon in this very century, maybe decade.

In The West the three entities, political governance, private sector and the public and private media has become one entity or one “animal” lead by the wolf pack in “The Wall Street” who now owns and controls them all including NATO and CIA.

In reality this is pure evil or at least heavy psychiatric illness called “Cluster B” ( Cluster A, B and C common to call “mad, bad and sad ) and this is really BAD or heavy narcissistic disorders or behaviors typically in this category.

And those are now leading in West and this means that there is no hope of change because they are not able to change and it’s all about control and power and of course they are lying with ease.

Fascinating and by turns frightening and hopeful. The difficulty for the US/EU in accepting the turn of events in Ukraine, i.e. almost certain military defeat, is explained clearly. It’s hard to fully comprehend the risks we all face over the next two or three months in particular. The explanation of how the US sanction and tariff war on China is just America digging its own grave is particularly illuminating.

I don't really expect many commentators to do a serious analysis of the inherent contradictions of the USA reacting violently against the rising power of rivals like China, while simultaneously promoting the rise of China by subsidising her industrial development to the tune of half a trillion dollars a year for several decades.

But it would be good if someone occasionally noticed.
