It is amazing how much Jews (and let's just remember, a Jew is a Jew before he is any nationality, i.e., his loyalty lies with his fellow Jews ONLY. That has always been so and will always be so. Goys like the rest of us are rubbish in their eyes, no matter how much you might think otherwise. Besides encapsulating some of the most despicable traits human beings can have, for the last 2 millenia they have managed to get themselves rounded up and potentially eliminated, and its' not because they are fair, just, kind, or even decent. It's because of behavior that you see today. On a personal level, many Jews are victims themselves and have been lied to terribly by their own people. So yes, exceptions exist. Just way too few.

Actually, Trump is turning into the Peace President in spite of himself. In East and SE Asia, presently the fastest economically growing area in the world, Trump's clumsy blunders and aggressive, America Ueber Alles moves are so excessive that they are bringing about the opposite results from what Trump intends. As the following video explains, China, Japan, S. Korea, and ASEAN countries (and India will probably not be far behind) have forgotten all the bad blood between them remaining from the WWII era and have reached an unprecedented new level of peace and economic cooperation. Trump's bull-headed mega-tariffs policy has proved to be a wake-up call, and now these countries have vowed to oppose the divide-and-conquer policy of the US and take a great leap forward together. To top off their new efforts to at last achieve economic and political peace, they have formally declared that they will make a joint effort to rely on non-US dollar mediums of exchange as much as possible in their trade from now on. In other words, they have declared their intention to become a kind of new version of BRICs. Some of the nations are in BRICS already, so probably all these nations may eventually end up in BRICS. THANK YOU MR. TRUMP!!

For example, for the past 70 years Japan has been a rather docile vassal state of the US, so this is a big deal. Without Trump's provocation, this new Asian unity statement wouldn't have happened. And it's not only Japanese pols. The majority of Japanese are getting ticked off at the US, despite their enthusiasm for American pop culture. For example, most Japanese dislike the way US car makers completely ignore the preferences of Japanese drivers yet still try to force US cars on Japan. Japanese like small cars and drive on the opposite side of the road from the US, but US auto makers refuse to make good small cars with steering wheels on the opposite side. European and other car makers are much more flexible and offer car designs and sizes that Japanese drivers want, and many car imports are sold in Japan, but only US jeeps and SUVs are popular -- among Japanese who live outside the big cities. The same is true with US agricultural products. Japan has strict import laws that forbid the import of genetically altered foodstuffs or meat that contains antibiotics, etc., and the Japanese people strongly support these restrictions, so US attempts to force these imports literally down the throats of the Japanese are making ordinary Japanese angry. If the US isn't careful, there could be a big emotional backlash in Japan, especially after Trump's one-sided and outrageous strong-arm tactics have become egregious. The S. Koreans are said to be similarly angry on a grass-roots level. Ditto of course for the Chinese and SE Asians. The stupidity and ignorance and arrogance of US trade officials and Trump cabinet members is hurting the US, and Trump's efforts are bringing simmering Asian emotions to a boil.

All this suggests that the US is becoming a rogue nation except in the EU, and even in the EU, the present idiot leaders may not last much longer. Unless Trump gets some new, more intelligent and less arrogant advisors, he may find himself in deep trouble soon. For example, when Hegseth was in Tokyo recently, he shocked the Japanese by ignorantly stating that Japan is a land that values "Bushido"! He was completely unaware of the fact that Japan has a Peace Constitution and that the word "Bushido" is a virtually tabooed word now, much like the word "Nasty" is in German. Hegseth needs to go! Even in the US, in a few months the middle class is going to realize that tariff-caused inflation is actually a policy designed to lower the salaries of all Americans outside the top 5%. Once that realization sinks in, things may become unhinged.

The agreement to coordinate tariff reactions came immediately after Trump's initial announcement, which suggests that there had already been consultations among China, Japan, and SKorea. We noted this as a huge development at the time. The addition of ASEAN countries strengthens this move and also strengthens the BRICS movement.

Absolutely accurate Mark. Totally delusional to believe Trump is in any way a "man of peace. "

Peace is an expensive proposition. Short, but interesting breakdown of fiscal year 2026 budget.

If it walks and talks and looks like a duck, it's a duck. The analogy applies to Trump. He's a warmonger. In 1956, the British Empire was in a similar position to the US empire today: exhausted, out of ideas and facing powerful newcomers. We decided to attack Egypt and seize the Suez Canal to show the newbies that we were still top dog. The first book written about the subsequent humiliation was called "No end of a lesson." That is what America is heading for (and the EU) and what it probably needs. The only problem with my comparison is that today, the lesson administered is going to cause far more collateral damage than in 1956.

Trump seems to think he can have it all. He wants the American exceptionalism wars across the globe that, in his mind, contribute to world peace - and peace at home with lower deficits and a booming economy. He’s a guns and butter kind of guy.

Nailed it, Mark. It reminds me of the Iranian concept of "peace". There are 2 types. "Peace" just means an absence of conflict. The second type is "just peace", where root problems are addressed, therefore leading to peaceful relations and lasting peace. Trump is interested in the first type with "peer" nations; avoiding kinetic action. The Russians are interested in the second type. We can see how that is working out.

Let's be frank; the Anglo-Zionist Empire views any nation/people who is not one of "them" as having no value or in some cases, even having the right to exist. Especially if those nations/peoples are not seen as a military/economic peer. Its why our "allies" are countries like Ukraine and Israel, because they share that worldview.

Its all simply continuation of the Empire's quest for global "full spectrum domination". Or as Brian Berletic calls it, continuity of agenda. This administration winning the election didn't mean we got rid of the neocons. We just got a new group of neocons. Same evil empire, new mask. Its like trading in Jason Vorhees for Michael Myers. You're just getting a different murderous psycho.

Trump's idea of peace is peace "with hell to pay!"

"in the final analysis this is an Anglo-Zionist war on Russia and Trump calls the shots. Putin knows this."

Ray McGovern insists and repeats that "Putin [Pew-teen] said he trust Trump...", so in Ray's mind, all is well.

I (sort of) met Ray at a conference years ago. What impressed me most was that his hands were calloused. But I'm afraid Ray's age is catching up with him. I think Chas Freeman alluded to a similar fear about Trump: his flip-flops may be a sign of age or of stress. Or of dissembling from the get-go.

-- Some years ago on the Mondoweiss blog the notion of "peace" from a zionist perspective was discussed. "Peace" = YOU comply with zionist demands because WE are Chosen.

Jews were "chosen" to bring the light of God to the Gentiles. They decided that God was theirs only and failed to comply. J.C. came along with a message of love and they decided he needed to be eliminated. What's different today from 2000 years ago?

So Trump is against LGBT, but pro-LGB, one might surmise.

off-topic, in St. Louis, LGB is shorthand for "Let's go Blues."

Count to 10. Breathe.

Listening to Johnson.

Good thing LJ no longer lives in DC metro. If I happened to encounter him I would have a hard time refraining from punching him in the face.

My Dad, like 10s of thousands of other American men, was drafted into WWII. He was permanently disabled. When I visit his grave in Rust Belt, USA, acres and acres of graves are festooned with American flags marking veteran's graves.

Why would you punch LJ in the face? Apart from the fact that his shirts are chosen by Stevie Wonder, he's a top guy.

I don't agree. LJ takes too many opportunities to equate zionism with Nazism. In my view, that's comic-book history.

His accolades of "Russia" fail to distinguish Stalinist Russia from today's Russia; fails to acknowledge the crimes committed by Stalinists against German civilians, i.e. the thousands of German women raped; fails to acknowledge that of the many Russians killed by Germans, thousands upon thousands were flooded onto field of battle without weapons & surrendered, that Germans could not feed those masses; that Stalinist Russia had not agreed to subscribe to the same rules of war that Germans did; fails to mention that so many Russians were killed by Russians who shot them if they failed to march into battle -- shades of Ukrainians press-ganging fighters.

IOW, the devil is in the details: One major detail NEVER reported during the present Ukraine conflict is that for over a year, ~1942, German soldiers protected Ukrainians from Stalin's army in Lviv. Germans fed the Ukrainians & Ukrainians welcomed the Germans into their towns. My DiL's mother was born in Lviv in 1942, possibly the dau of a German soldier, inasmuch as Germans later aided her transit out of the country. The Orthodox bishop in Ukraine promoted the relationship between German army & Ukrainians, until he was pressured by his superiors, whereupon the atmosphere changed.

A (former) professor at Franciscan U. Steubenville researched the church - Ukrainian - "Nazi" interactions.

Tagging today's Ukrainian fighters as "Nazis" is cynical, to be expected of Nuland: it simplistifies the story for the sake of inflammatory rhetoric. This is not to say that Bandarites are not "Nazis;" it is an attempt to explain that the whole story is more complicated.
