Re the Munich-38 hysteria and the US-Neocon-ordered and Neocon-managed illogical hardening of "Europe", what makes it absolutely suicidal is the fact that the Trump about-turn is not at all a "concession" or "appeasement"! It is the reality of abject, total defeat before the Russian preparedness, with a US Admin trying a last-minute effort to sugar-coat the capitulation with a face-saving propaganda narrative. The turn is, in fact, nothing but the desperate maneuver of the massive US-Empire-Titanic only yards from the iceberg, while the real USGov Neocons/Deep State morons, who are still largely continuing to steer the ship, still believe their own propaganda lullaby.

Great listen. I'm not sure if this subject interests you, but I'm curious about Canada's allegations that China is interfering in their election. I can't imagine why China would care to do this, yet the Canadian narrative frequently issues these allegations. Would love to see a video from you on the Canada-China relationship someday if it interests you.

It is, of course, fascinating to remember how we were taught about this ‘betrayal’ of the only one Democratic state left in Europe by Western *democracies*. And it seems that this narrative can always be appropriated for different political ends with twists and turns.

"Chaotic" is a mild way to describe Trump's foreign policy. For reasons unknown, he has withdrawn support for the Ukraine conflict, but I wouldn't say that indicates any interest in global peace or acceptance of a multi polar world. His saber rattling around the Panama canal (which has been effectively blocked by his corporate pals, Blackwater), Greenland and Canada, the obscene Gaza beachfront plan, the bombing of Yemen all indicate a willingness to use war to maintain hegemony for his favorite oligarchs. He hasn't an ounce of empathy or compassion for anyone who isn't a white supremacist or Zionist. Please don't mistake his Ukrainian stance for wisdom.

I thought his focus on Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland were good indications that he was trying to transition the US from a global hegemon to a regional power. Attacks on Yemen and threats for Iran don't fit this idea. It has been suggested that he needs the support of the Zionists and Christian fundamentalists as his domestic challenges increase, so he has sabotaged the ceasefire he helped negotiate and is fully supporting Israel.
