An article at RT made me realize today – all the more- how out of touch with reality the “west” is. It talks about how Joe Biden warns Xi Jinping about economic consequences of China’s alliance with Russia. Thing is, that ship has long sailed. And Xi, even if he would have wanted to -there are no signs of that-, cannot turn it around, It has gained “momentum”.
And it’s “Joe Biden”s own doing. Xi and Putin would have happily continued using the USD in their international trade. But the sanctions made that impossible. And then it took off. From BRICS(+) to SCO to INSTC, various groups that had been formed, now found a reason to exist and flourish. And there’s nothing Xi can do to stop that process, even if he would want to. it’s bigger than him, and China. But even then, why would he?
• Biden Told China’s Xi To ‘Be Careful’ After Putin Meeting
US President Joe Biden called on his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping ‘to be careful’ after Xi visited Moscow back in March, the American leader has told CNN. In extracts from the interview released on Saturday, Biden said he had highlighted what he called the Asian giant’s dependence on European and US investments.“I said: This is not a threat. This is an observation,” Biden told CNN. “Since Russia went into Ukraine, 600 American corporations have pulled out of Russia. And you have told me that your economy depends on investment from Europe and the United States. And be careful. Be careful,” he added.
Following their Moscow talks, Putin and Xi signed documents on deepening the Russian-Chinese strategic partnership and economic cooperation. Both governments emphasized their readiness to work towards a trade volume of $200 billion or higher, with national currencies increasingly being used in a bid to de-dollarize trade. The conflict in Ukraine was discussed during the Moscow visit as well, with China maintaining its neutral position. Beijing has repeatedly criticized the West’s “abuse” of unilateral economic sanctions and has made efforts toward a peaceful resolution in Ukraine, proposing a twelve-point peace plan. In May, a Chinese special envoy visited several countries, including Russia and Ukraine, in an effort to broker an end to the conflict.
Biden’s CNN interview comes as US relations with China are far from calm, with Taiwan and security concerns in the Asia-Pacific region among the key issues exacerbating strained ties. President Biden himself provoked a diplomatic incident in June, when he called his Chinese counterpart a “dictator” during a speech. While the US president dismissed concerns that his comment could hinder efforts to improve relations, the Chinese embassy issued a formal protest in response, and foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning denounced the remark as an “open political provocation.”
It makes no difference anymore what Biden, or any American/western person says. The sanctions have introduced the rest of the world to a feeling, a system, of freedom. And not even Xi can halt that. He could hinder it a bit, sure, but why would he? If the “global globe” can’t use the yuan in trade, they’ll switch to the rupee, which India has loudly announced as being ready for the role. Or the new gold backed currency BRICS/SCO is touting.
Whichever choice they arrive upon, Biden threatening Xi can only backfire. China already has a huge part of the world population, BRICS/SCO is much bigger than that, in many ways. And they sense/smell freedom. Xi would be crazy to move against that. And why would he? Because Biden threatens to take away some exports from him?
Xi doesn’t need the US or EU. He knows that because the “collective west’s” anti-Russia sanctions have only made Russia stronger. And the “collective west” is incapable of beating Russia on the battlefield. So what does Xi have to fear?
We live in a new world, a greatly changed one. The last place where you would find out about that is the west, where we live. Where all media and politicians carry on as if nothing has changed. We can’t know the truth about Trump, or about Covid, or about Ukraine, and now we can’t know how our position has changed in global power politics. They want us to believe we’re still no. 1. Well, they are not, and we are not. Get used to it. Get used to being one power in a world with multiple powers. Multipolar.
We cannot fight the global momentum we ourselves unleashed.

100 percent agree! The stupid in this country has always been but after the MSM went full propaganda mode it has become irreparable.
They will not learn until the pain becomes unbearable and even then I have my doubts.
“Ignorance can be educated”
“Insanity can be medicated”
But there is no cure for “Stupid”
As my father used to say,”Never go full retard.”
We are fed such BS in this country- as if we have the power and authority to bully the rest of the world….
Some interesting stats: $18.35 trillion Combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in US dollars.
21% of
world
603.73 million Combined Population.
8% of
world
$31,190.23 Average GDP per capita. 2 times more than global average of $12,820.29
13.66 million sq km 10% of world
These numbers include Canada but not the US so world pop is about 950 million in NATO or 1/9th of the world, landmass is about 15% for NATO , -with Russia and China alone encompassing 20% of the global land mass area.
Factor in India and Africa and their 3 billion souls– the Middle East who despise America/NATO and we are obviously a declining “power”.
The dollar has less than 5 years as a “reserve currency”, our military has gone woke and was losing wars to countries like Vietnam, Afghanistan etc before we went woke — yet they talk as if they can still dictate to the world how to run their countries. Hubris.
Sorry for the confusion..these numbers are NATO members combined excluding the USA.. even with the US added we are small in every category vs the combined numbers of those we seek to rule.
We weren’t “losing” in Vietnam. There was some shady CIA shit going on that hamstrung what was probably the last of the free-thnking warrior men for which the US was revered . And now that the warrior men that remain ponder geopolitics, they tell their sons, nephews, grandsons, and yes, stepsons to withhold service.
Russia and China know the citizens of America are between a rock and a hard place. Putin gave speeches about how morally and thoroughly corrupted our REPRESENTATIVE gov’t has become. And he was right.
My 17 year old grandson wanted to be trained as an infantryman to better protect his family.I offered him 5K for private training.
I would never disparage the men who served in Nam– my father was one of them. He was an enlisted man who was sent while it was still a “police action.” He was wounded and sent back to be wounded again– he only got out of the service in 1965 after he broke his neck while on leave diving off of a pier and fracturing cervical vertebrae.
The uselessness and poor directing to allow us to go in and win quickly haunted him the remainder of his short life ( died before 60)– not to mention the jungle rot which never healed on skin lower legs, losing his teeth from a poisoned well and myriad of medical issues from the gunk they sprayed down on the jungles. Most of all he never recovered mentally to the fun and humorous young man he was prior and growing up in my home was like walking on eggshells never knowing what might set him off.
I stand by my assertion though, we did not win in Vietnam any more than we did in Iraq, Afghanistan or even Korea– but it never stops the bankers and arms manufacturers from pushing for the prosperity they achieve when silver-spooned politicos send our young men off to die for spreading democracy.
Win or lose, no matter. That’s not the purpose of these incursions. They are money making operations as well as population reductions.
All part of God’s plan to judge a country that was given everything but turned their back on Him. America’s goose is in the oven and the heat is being applied. Well done is on the horizon.
Biden didn’t, and is incapable, of doing anything.
Depends…

“John Day” provided the following comment on Raúl’s article….
A friend sent me this,and I’m forwarding it to celticbiker:
https://www.unz.com/article/america-the-first-true-global-talmudic-empire/
As the latest cosmic string iteration of empire, the United States suffers from the same pathologies as its predecessors, only more so. Once the hyper-capitalist Anglo-Saxon US republic transitioned into the hyper-capitalist US Anglo-Saxon empire (Monroe Doctrine?), Talmudic empire became possible, and later inevitable. Like Philip K. Dick repeated throughout his “Valis” novel, “The Empire Never Ended.”
Before I continue, a quick disclaimer. I’m not indiscriminately Jew-bashing. I dig right-on Jews. Some of the leading opponents of Rothschild Zionism are Jews. “Little Jews” need to wake up to the “Big Jew” agenda. The “pogrom” program is an integral closing component of “Big Jewry’s “bleed the host” business model. It’s great to be a Jew- until it’s not. “The Synagogue of Satan” empowers itself by using “little Jew” destruction karma. After 109 “pogrom” programs, international Jewish finance stands stronger than ever. End-stage “controlled scarcity” capitalism eventually devours everyone below the oligarchs and their managerial class. To simply focus on Jews without evaluating the entrenched systems misses the point. The Jewish crime families who control global finance don’t need physical “Jews” to run the rigged automated “Wall Street” program or biometric ID surveillance state. They can just as easily insert Brahmin tech scribes, blueblood WASPs, or woke Latinas into the peacock cog positions. Unless you live “under the dome” or escape (where?), you’re either getting slow-cooked into a hot frog slushie or thrown into a fast-track collapse ultra-violence sex-death cult orgy.
While the Jewish mafia banking families seized control of the US financial system in 1913, I don’t think America officially became a full-spectrum Talmudic empire until 9/11.

Americans think China’s exports all go to America. China exports more to other Asian countries than to the US. There are many things that the US depends upon China to make, though. The American government is retarded.
Retarded AND criminally psychotic.
And yet they are the best we can come up with. What message is this sending the world we USED to have under our uncaring thumb? The wolves are at the door.
I totally agree with the author.
The dollar is done. Once the BRICS back their new 0currencies by gold it is over. Those holding gold will survive and flourish. The rise of parallel societies and economies is around the corner. Bartering will be huge. Tangible assets are paramount.
Well, if South Africa (a BRICS member) ever gets out of its socialist ANC rule, well, we gots lots of gold! Trouble is, the ANC doesn’t want us to actually dig it out…
Banking on it….
Actually, Moe, those holding almost ANY durable goods or real Estate (in combination with marketable skills) should be all right…if not “flourishing”. Let’s see what the VAX and radiation to to sperm count levels before we count our chickens. Protect yourself? Absolutely. Bad times are a comin’.
The U.S. sold armaments and other goods to Russia, England and others accepting gold as payment. Do we have any of that left?
For most of my life I’ve head ‘there’s no gold in Ft Knox.’
Anyone here know?
Ron Paul’s always wanted to audit it. The last PARTIAL audit was 1953.
It’s gone.
A green beret friend still labors under the illusion that he guarded it. Of course, he must have seen SOME gold, or may tungsten dipped in gold. There must always be a few dozen kilos there for plausible deniability.
I think I recall that one of the WTC towers, maybe #6, was supposed to have some, too, and/or all sorts of financial records that burned.
There was a very obscure story at least a decade and a half ago that would be impossible to find, unless you’re a total geek who understands the Web as I do not, about a billionaire couple who owned like, tons of gold, which they paid a London concern to house in a “bespoke” cell or vault. My understanding is that when you pay extra for a bespoke precious metals account, it’s left alone, so always available for delivery at a moment’s notice, unlike when you own fifty ounces and they just reach into a sack and Fedex you your pieces of eight.
Long story short, even these billionaires, these whales in the house who still are not the house itself, requested delivery and found that the gold they’d paid a high-level house a fee to hold and protect, was unavailable. They threatened to call their law team and make the miscreants famous and poor, so the liars had to buy (or somehow get) tons of gold at the then-higher market price to keep it quiet.
So, even the big guys can expect to be screwed by the casino, and the scope of the racket is beyond imagination. My poor sucker of green beret friend. I can’t even make him read any of this shit. If I could, there’d be serious trouble.
What if part of the goal of 9/11 was a gold heist?
I like it!
Would make one hell of a movie.

911 tons of gold.
911 hours to set the stage.
911 paid agents to pull off…
The greatest gold heist in history!

Nota coincidence that the office that was doing the forensic Audit of the Military’s missing trillions was at the very spot that the “plane” that hit the Pentagon on 9/11 crashed into. All the records and most of the personal involved were obliterated,except for one guy who had gone to the restroom.
I know a guy, he was an infantryman however avoided deployment to RVN by being assigned to a security company guarding the gold in 1970 . Very honest humble guy.
Probably a fairly significant amount just to plate the tungsten bars.
But not the original amount.
20-25 years back at the time of “Brown’s Bottom” where he sold all of Britain’s Gold for $260 an ounce there were rumors Clinton and one of his Treasury guys traded it away or some damn thing.
It is increasingly obvious that we have “woke” up in the Evil Empire.
Yawn. And…?
American ethnocentrism is so far beyond the pale that one must wonder
what schools taught them to be like that? Where do Americans get off
behaving like they own the world and everyone in it?
The USA is an insolvent Ponzi scheme that is unraveling before our
very eyes. It won’t last another three years let alone another decade.
Moreover, both the Republican & Democratic parties have waged war
on the entire world via their outlandish ‘manifest destiny’ bullshit run
amok for the last century of global abuse.
American rule of law is a global joke in light of the Wall Street rape & pillage
financialization/securitization of Neoliberalism that Ronald Reagan likened
to floating all boats as a rising tide of American wealth transfer, but nobody
got wealthy except the .001% of wealth extractionists like the billionaire class
like Trump, Bezos, & Musk.
Trump started the ‘trade war’ with China via the Republican ticket for the
White House. He deployed biowarfare against China via Fort Detrick U.S.
Army manufacture of GOF bioweapons and then he blamed China for the
covert genocidal act of war that he started. Biden has merely continued the policy
objective set of by the Pentagon and now the right-wing is attempting to blame
the Democrats for something that John McCain started back in 2016 when Democrats
were still in power.
America can’t go tits up fast enough for moi.
I’m getting annoyed at the mindlessness promulgated via the right-wing.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of”
