I have found the perfect gift for Mark Rutte.

While Western puppet Nikol Pashinyan cracks down on the opposition and the Armenian Apostolic Church, claiming he will personally “liberate” it from its spiritual leadership, the EU rewards these efforts to embrace "European values" with EUR 270 million.

Yet another US provocation? Several Chinese media report that Julie Eadeh — a political counselor at the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong during the failed colour revolution that rocked the city in 2019-20 — is now being considered for the post of US Consul General in HK.

The US wants to know what 🇯🇵 and 🇦🇺 would do in case of a conflict over Taiwan. A question asked behind closed doors was leaked to coincide with Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's official visit to China from Saturday to Friday. Obviously someone wanted to spoil it.

Most EU countries are heading for bankruptcy. They want to finance digitization, decarbonization and increase miliary spending (all at the same time!) against a backdrop of unsustainable debt, deficits and demographic decline.

A CIA officer's transition from the dirty "Global War on Terror" to the dirty "Great Power Competition with China." Last Sept. Peter Enzminger moved to an apt. in Manila's Raffles Makati luxury hotel. substack.com/home/post/p-16…

Zbigniew Brzezinski referred to Azerbaijan as “the vitally important 'cork' in the bottle containing the riches of the Caspian Sea basin and Central Asia.” No wonder the West has set its eyes on this region. lauraruggeri.substack.com/p/azerbaijan-a…

The US needs South Korea's help to revive its moribund shipbuilding industry.

Donald Trump on Ukraine: "It's very complicated. But we're going to get some back, we're going to get some switched. There'll be some swapping."😅 My exact words whenever i attend a potluck dinner.

In case you need further evidence that Russophobia leads to brain rot, EUnuchs are willing to jeopardize their relations with Beijing in order to avoid Putin. scmp.com/news/china/dip…

Sorry, Germans. Ukraine über alles!

War Thatcherism is a fraudulent scheme to benefit transnational elites, impoverish and enslave Europeans. Once they are destitute and zombified, they can be turned into cannon fodder.

EU: place where crazy Germans employ crazier Balts, and both are employed by totally nuts Americans. Nothing to do with "Europe."
