    Asylum seekers – pawns in the defence review

    Thursday, 6 March 2025 — Institute of Race Relations

    As Starmer increases spending on defence, asylum seekers have once again emerged as pawns in a spending review that will ultimately pit asylum seekers against the poorest in the Global South.

    Billionaire-backed Global Citizen whitewashes Kagame’s invasion of DRC

    By Ann Garrison

    John Legend’s concert in Rwanda signaled global elite support for Paul Kagame amid his bloody invasion of the DRC. The event was organized by Global Citizen, a pseudo-activist NGO backed by corporations hungry for Africa’s resource wealth.

    Putin’s Endgame in Ukraine

    Tuesday, 4 March 2025 — Glenn Diesen’s Substack

    Prof. Glenn Diesen with Judge Napolitano

    Glenn Diesen

    I had the great pleasure to discuss with Judge Napolitano the efforts by Trump to pressure Zelensky into starting negotiations to end the war. Trump is challenging the legitimacy of Zelensky and even cutting military support to push him to the negotiation table. It is very possible that Trump will also start to mount pressure on the Europeans as they are seen to also oppose his peace plan. By cutting military spending, Trump hopes to also deprive Zelensky and the Europeans of the alternative to keep the war going. The war summit in Paris organised by the Europeans demonstrates that they are not able to mobilise the political will and unity required to replace the US. The Europeans also do not have the money or military power to continue the war, yet they do not have the political imagination beyond doubling down on a failed war. If the Europeans continue to resist Trump’s peace efforts, then NATO itself could end up being dissolved.

    Tariff Mania: Let the Tariff Games Begin …

    Tuesday, 4 March 2025 — Geopolitical Economy & Climate Change

    Roger Boyd

    US corporations and US investors have based their business strategies on the fundamental belief that the US state will always use its power to force open other nations to free trade, while at the same time generally practising free trade itself. A belief that has proven correct since WW2, and has been the basis upon which they have built global supply chains (helping to decimate the real living standards of the majority of Americans) and huge global sales based mostly upon localized production (e.g. Tesla, Starbucks, Apple in China).

    US puts firewall to protect Ukraine deal with Russia

    Monday, 3 March 2025 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR
    UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer (L) gave a highly public show of support for Volodymyr Zelenskyy (R) greeting the Ukrainian president on the steps of No. 10 Downing Street, walking towards him and immediately throwing his arm around him. Inside No. 10, Starmer told Zelenskyy he has “full backing across the United Kingdom.” London, March 1, 2025

    The verbal shootout at the Oval Office last Friday brought out President Vladimir Zelensky’s fury that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are very close to a deal on Ukraine, while the conclave in Lancashire House in London on Sunday involving 18 European leaders messaged that Zelensky is in good company.

    Archiving Gaza: The Race to Save Evidence of War Crimes and Mass Destructio

    Tuesday, 4 March 2025 — Drop Site

    Inside the dangerous effort to dodge censorship and document the horrors of Israel’s war against Gaza.

    Lila Hassan

    For 17 months, the world has stood by asPalestinians in Gaza have documented, largely on social media, a war of annihilation being waged against them by Israel with the full backing of the U.S. government and most Western nations. More than 200 media workers have been killed since October 7, almost all of them Palestinians. Israel has blocked unembedded journalists from entering the besieged Strip. As the people of Gaza have fought against insurmountable challenges in their effort to document and broadcast the horrors to the world, they have faced not only bombs and bullets, but pervasive censorship by social media companies resulting in the erasure of their documentation of this war. Despite these challenges—and the sporadic and unreliable access to the internet in a Gaza under siege—Palestinian archivists, media workers, historians, and others have fought diligently to not only store vital evidence but to preserve memory. And they do so while trapped in a killing cage.

    Strategic waters: Sweden and Finland’s accession to NATO positioned Russia as the only non-member bordering the Baltic Sea.

    No one ever lost money betting on the batshit crazy “policies” of the ferociously yapping Baltic chihuahuas. Their latest power play of sorts is a drive to turn the Baltic Sea into a NATO lake.

    A verbal and gestural combat sport at the Oval Office: for what are the results?

    Monday, 3 March 2025 — New Eastern Outlook

    Mohamed Lamine KABA

    The conversation in the Oval Office turned out to be a deal-breaker for Ukraine, an embarrassment and the expulsion of the Kiev politician from the White House.

    the conflict between Zelensky and Trump

    In a tense exchange at the top of the diplomacy of the anti-Russia Western alliance, Zelensky, the emblematic figure of the Ukrainian decline, sees his status waver in the face of Trump and Vance. A shock of a few minutes was enough to upset the transatlantic diplomatic balance and to cut off the last hope of the warmongering Europe.

    Europe’s Growing Irrelevance: Speaking with the Former Foreign Minister of Austria

    Monday, 3 March 2025 — Glenn Diesen’ Substack

    I had the great pleasure of speaking with Karin Kneissl and Alexander Mercouris about Europe’s decline and tendency to double down on failed policies. Kneissl is the former Foreign Minister of Austria. We discussed why NATO’s defeat in the Ukraine proxy war will fragment the alliance, why the Europeans are no longer capable of engaging in diplomacy with Russia, how strategic thinking was replaced with ideological slogans, why unity and democracy within the EU is weakening, and why the economic decline will be difficult to reverse. Removingthe dividing lines in Europe and restoring peace with Russia, as the largest state in Europe, would be an important part of reversing Europe’s growing irrelevance. However, the Europeans appear to be preparing for a showdown against Russia instead.

    After the Zelensky-Trump Clash – US May Replace Zelensky and Put Greater Pressure on Europe to End the War

    Monday, 3 March 2025 — Glenn Diesen’s Substack

    Prof. Glenn Diesen on Neutrality Studies

    Glenn Diesen

    I spoke with Pascal Lottaz about the clash in the Oval Office. The US demands that Zelensky agree to ending the war on the terms being negotiated between the US and Russia: No NATO membership, accepting territorial concessions, and no US security guarantees. This is a terrible deal for Ukraine, yet it is the best possible deal as more men and territory will be lost at an accelerating rate. The Europeans have no realistic alternatives, and it is also feared that they will seek to disrupt the peace process. The US is therefore putting immense pressure on Ukraine and will likely have Zelensky replaced if he does not fall in line.

    Trump’s MAGA and deregulation

    Sunday, 2 March 2025 — The Next Recession

    Michael Roberts

    Trump sees the United States as just a big capitalist corporation of which he is chief executive. Just as he did when he was the boss in the TV show, the Apprentice, he thinks he is running a business and so can employ and fire people at his whim. He has a board of directors who advise and/or do his bidding (the American oligarchs and former TV presenters). But the institutions of the state are a hindrance. So Congress, courts, state governments etc are to be ignored and/or told to carry out the instructions of the CEO.

    Donald Trump’s fight with Zelensky reflects how the US treats Ukraine as a colony. He demands control of its rare earths & critical minerals, to weaken China, re-industrialize, and build tech products

    Ben Norton

    The fight that broke out in the White House between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, on February 28 was a stark symbol of the colonial relationship between the two countries.

    Gilbert Doctorow: Trump Outmaneuvers Europe

    Sunday, 2 March 2025 — Glenn Diesen’s Substack

    with Prof. Glenn Diesen

    Glenn Diesen

    I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Gilbert Doctorow about America’s efforts to end the Ukraine War and reduce its presence in Europe. The British and French are the main countries that can disrupt America’s plans, and Trump thus hosted both Macron and Starmer in Washington. While the Europeans want US security guarantees to get the US entangled and prolong the war, Trump has aimed to soften the position of the UK with an offer of a possible trade agreement. An agreement has to be reached with Russia soon as the Ukrainian army is collapsing, and then Russia will be in a much more favourable position. Trump offers an end to NATO expansion, territorial concessions, and no security guarantees for Ukraine because the war has been lost. Russia seemingly prefers a political agreement with the US that addresses the cause of the war, which was the failure to reach a mutually acceptable post-Cold War settlement to replace aggressive bloc politics.

    What’s behind Keir Starmer’s latest defense spending boost?

    Sunday, 2 March 2025 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    By Martin Jay

    For the first time in contemporary history U.S. is not the belligerent buffoon starting wars around the world to embolden its hegemony.

    Who is Sir Keir Starmer and whose interests does he represent? Even his strongest supporters from the West are beginning to notice that there hasn’t been one single policy strategy since he became British PM, which is for the actual British public themselves. Traditionally one tends to think of Labour PMs wanting to make a splash with the poor in their first six months in office, but all Starmer has done has made this particular group even poorer.

    The Euro Vassal Ukraine Hissy Fit

    Saturday, 1 March 2025 — Geopolitics And Climate Change

    Roger Boyd

    The leaders of the European vassals, including the British Starmer, have been utterly blindsided by the change in the balance of power among the US oligarchy. The latter have decided to move on from Ukraine to focus on the main “enemy” China, while the Euro vassal leaders have dug themselves in deep supporting the previous US oligarch position. Many of them, like so many of the US courtier administrative, political and think tank class, are now surplus to US oligarch requirements. So just as the US courtier class is being replaced with those that align with the new US oligarch position (dump Ukraine and move on to China, while extracting more from the vassals), the vassal leaders will be replaced unless they get in line. The whole Euro elite class is shocked because they have become utterly Atlanticist in the past decades and simply cannot believe that their boss is turning on them, even though they have been so dutiful and obedient. They are finding, just like mafia underlings, that when the boss changes his strategy anyone can be expendable. Best to get in line quickly before getting whacked.
