By Michael Hudson and posted with the author’s permission It is now clear that today’s escalation of the New Cold War was planned over a year ago, with serious strategy associated with America’s plan to block Nord Stream 2 as part of its aim of blocking Western Europe (“NATO”) from seeking prosperity by mutual trade and investment with China and Russia.

by Mansoureh Tajik for the Saker Blog If I were to sum up the events of Ukraine in one short sentence, I would say: In the fall of Ukraine, the metaphorical west has fallen once again and cannot get up.

By Amarynth and the Here Comes China Newsletter by Godfree Roberts What were we talking about just three or four months ago? Remember? China was going to imminently attack Taiwan. There was wall-to-wall coverage. The jingoism did not work. Nobody attacked Taiwan. China stated that Taiwan will be integrated with the mainland at the right time, and follow the correct procedure. China is dealing with a recalcitrant province that historically
by Observer R for the Saker Blog Background The documents issued by Russia in December 2021 (the so-called “Not-Ultimatum), concerning modifications to the security architecture in Europe, have created a considerable sensation in the diplomatic and military worlds. Russia politely requested that NATO confine its activities to its location as of 1997, and keep out of the former Warsaw Pact territory. This was to abide by the promises that the
Washington will not consider Russian proposals on no expansion of NATO, and has no intention of even discussing the idea.

By Tarik in the Vineyard for the Saker Blog If Russia shot down a NATO bomber or ship flying or sailing where it shouldn’t be (or even a US one), who would dare respond in kind? It begs the next question: Why Russia didn’t shoot anything down yet? Things need to be put in perspective. So here is a third question: Why is the West and the US in particular,
In the annals of diplomacy, the White House official confirmation of a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing might qualify at best as a disc thrower being hit by a boomerang.

The NED and similar organizations’ sponsored “Color Revolutions” in Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang all collapsed. We can also be sure that this escalation that we see now is not really about Taiwan.

The War on Terror pretext started falling apart as a reason for maintaining hegemonic control through: color revolutions, attempts at regime change in other countries (striking examples: Venezuela, Cuba), attempts at destabilization as a pretext for hegemonic interference (most
