US Foreign Policy Is Like a Mafia Racket

It’s time to call a spade a spade. Australian independent Journalist Caitlin johnstone recently wrote an important truth:

"The US empire is responsible for most of our world’s problems. It says so much about the strength of the imperial propaganda machine that this isn’t more obvious to more people."

Because of this propaganda that Western audiences have been subjected to for so long, here is a reminder of numbers that speak for themselves:

"America has been in 19 wars since World War II, but we will list the death toll from three of the bloodiest conflicts: The Korean War, The Vietnam War and wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The total death toll of people killed by American troops in all these wars put together is over 12 million."

The Forces of Centralization and the Struggle for Freedom

The concept of centralization is generally seen as a consequence of certain political decisions or as the cause of certain societal structures. But the centralization and its opposite, decentralization, can also be interpreted as opposing historical processes that should be taken into account in the long struggle for liberty.

Forces of Centralization

Centralization is a historical process that is “centripetal” in nature; it is the totality of forces in society that move economic wealth and political power towards one or a few centers. This process should be thought of not only in the geographical but also organizational sense. Indeed, as means of communication improve, centralization may even conceivably be mainly institutional.

The EU Wants to Use War as an Excuse for More Debt

The European political and financial elite knows that the war in Ukraine is lost but wants to use it as an opportunity to reach strategy independence from the United States. As the future chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz said right after his electoral win on Feb 23rd: “It will be an absolute priority for me to strengthen Europe as soon as possible so much that it gradually really achieves independence from the United States.”

The US is Being Pulled, Kicking and Screaming, into the Multipolar World

It must be repeated; momentous political changes are taking place in the world. As Lenin is said to have said, “there are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” Not since the years 1944-1946 and 1989-1991 has the world been going through a more significant geopolitical shift: the multipolar world is being now hesitatingly adopted by the United States, but clearly against its will.

Indeed, the Trump foreign policy, as mad as it may seem to some, has method in it, in the sense that the new administration acts as it does because US power is declining in relation to others. Specifically with regard to the watershed crisis now - the conflict in Ukraine - it has become obvious that the West cannot win and that the war is already decided in favor of Russia. Trump has understood this and accepted it. As VP J.D. Vance wrote on X, “President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts.”

The US is "Agreement-Incapable"

In view of what will probably be a year of negotiations - attempted at least - between the United Stated and Russia over the fate of Ukraine and Europe, it is worth remembering that the Americans political leadership is considered today by the Russians as not capable of making agreements.

The Russians have a long but useful word for the incapability of sticking to agreement : “недоговороспособность”, i.e. agreement-incapable. This trait may become a liability for the United States, in possible upcoming negotiation with Russia regarding Ukraine and Europe’s security architecture. It is well known that the Russians’ approach to international relations is “trust but verify” (доверяй, но проверяй). But how is that possible when a duplicitous and false Uncle Sam simply cannot be trusted?

How the USA Became So Dysfunctional, Oligarchic and Corrupt

Why has the United States’ government become so politically dysfunctional? How can it be that the nation founded on John Locke's principles of liberty and Montesquieu’s concept of separation of powers, today has such a corrupt and oligarchic federal government ? This article will attempt to answer these questions.
