US is destabilizing Myanmar and backing militants physically attacking Chinese Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure, while using its political capture of the Philippines to transform the nation into a Ukraine-style battering ram against China;

▪️Along with a large and growing US military presence in Asia and other forms of political interference in the region, the US seeks to create a united front against China or destabilize the region to deny China's and Asia's continued rise;

▪️Current US foreign policy regarding the containment of China is a continuation of a decades-long policy articulated in US memos, cables, and documents stretching back to the end of WW2;

▪️The US is not building up its "partners" in Asia-Pacific, but rather preparing them to suffer a similar fate to that of Ukraine in Eastern Europe.

As you all know I am back from Japan after a fascinating and exciting meeting.

In the meantime there has been a lot of activity in the Ukraine conflict, with rows between Trump and Zelensky, more 'diplomacy' as the increasingly disunited West tries desperately to persuade Putin to stop the Russian advance, and as Russia continues its advance, both on the ground and in the sky. Meanwhile Ukraine is getting smashed.

Directly connected to the crisis in Ukraine is the crisis which is now spreading across Europe. That there is a huge amount of manipulation underway behind the protests is indisputable. That the protests and this manipulation are themselves symptoms of crisis is indisputable also.

Meanwhile the security situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate and the state of the global economy gets ever more fragile.

So much to discuss including of course the meeting between Putin and Witkoff today, of which we should have the results before the Live Stream starts.

Are there any novels about like KGB agents, who've gone undercover and just lived full wholesome family lives out of commitment to the job? Vladislav Vladovinovitch, just lying on his deathbed thinking

"these fools believe just because I've been a 'supportive' and 'doting' father and husband for 67 years, that means I love them. But my one true love is the Motherland!"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
