🗣️ On the US brainwashing the youth of Taiwan:

“The US deliberately targets the youth and they don't just do this in South Korea or Taiwan or in Ukraine. They do this all around the world. That is the primary function of the Washington based National Endowment for Democracy. They fund programs and organizations all around the globe, including here in Thailand in Southeast Asia, where I'm based, to manipulate and influence, especially young people through the media and by infiltrating educational institutions…They take full advantage of that, shaping them in their way to try to pursue and demand these self-destructive policies that serve Washington's interests at the cost of these targeted nations,” Brian Berletic, ex-US Marine Corps and an independent geopolitical researcher and writer based in Bangkok, told Sputnik.

“Average Americans are being put in prison because they can't pay their taxes, because we're sending $250 billion to Ukraine, and hundreds of millions to Taiwan. Anyone who thinks that Russia or China is our enemy is sorely mistaken. Our enemy is Wall Street, World Economic Forum, the DC Beltway region and the city of London,” Jackson Hinkle, host of the Dive, told the New Rules podcast, commenting on the real enemies of the American people.

🇩🇪🙅 Germany does not support Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's initiative to deprive Russia of the right of veto in the UN Security Council 

Not everything that Ukraine offers to German government is supported by Berlin, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated. She also stressed the need to protect the UN Charter and consider ways to modernize the organization.

During his address to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Zelensky said the United Nations was at a "dead end" due to Russia having the right of veto in the organization. In this regard, he urged the reform of the UN, including its veto power mechanism, saying that the UN General Assembly should be enabled to override a veto by two thirds majority vote.
