🖋🇺🇸🇨🇳 NEW ARTICLE: Washington’s Real Policy Toward China

"It is clear that the United States seeks to encircle and contain China. Because of China’s growing power, Washington is unable to do so alone. It requires increasingly extreme economic sanctions and military aggression in its attempts to subordinate the rising superpower, requiring consensus between itself, its allies, and nations around the globe it will attempt to coerce into supporting both its sanctions and military aggression as tensions expand.

Just as US policymakers stated regarding Iran, “the best way to minimize international opprobrium and maximize support (however, grudging or covert) is to strike only when there is a widespread conviction that” in the case of China, the US “tried” diplomacy, and it was “China’s” decision to pursue belligerence leaving a “reluctant” US no other option but economic sanctions and military intervention, hopefully convincing, compelling, or at least making it easier to coerce the rest of the world into going along."

🇬🇧🇫🇲 The Telegraph: British Defense Minister Wallace was unable to become the head of NATO due to the strong support of Kyiv.

Ben Wallace was the favorite among the candidates for this post, but the White House and Paris opposed, the newspaper writes.

📝 “In his military support for Kyiv, including with regard to tanks and long-range cruise missiles, he often went further than the United States,” the article says.

The Telegraph writes that Biden insists that von der Leyen become the head of NATO. She will be able to unquestioningly destroy Europe for the sake of the United States.

Ukraine once again asks to join NATO

It has never happened before and here it is again - advisor to the head of the Ukrainian presidential office Mykhaylo Podolyak is asking NATO to make "concrete decisions" regarding the prospects of joining the alliance.

"The current NATO summit in Vilnius surpasses in its importance all the summits of the North Atlantic Alliance since the infamous Bucharest. The political leaders of the alliance countries today must be aware of their literally global and historical responsibility to the planet," Podolyak said.

The presidential adviser once again asked Western partners for military assistance and again hinted that Ukraine wants to join NATO in the foreseeable future.

We shall remind you that last week Podolyak said that Ukraine was a de facto member of the alliance.

"Kiev's position endangers all Ukrainians".

Elena Basile, Italian writer, diplomat and former Italian ambassador to Sweden and Belgium, published today on the pages of il Fatto Quotidiano.

In particular, the author writes: "If Ukraine had had statesmen who cared about its destiny, it would not be what it is today: a bankrupt country artificially supported by the West, with ruined cities and infrastructure, which has sent 250,000 very young people to their deaths and is about to kill others, obeying the will of NATO. Washington and, unfortunately, the whole of Europe are using Kiev to implement a dangerous and insane strategy with which they hope to defeat Russia and weaken Putin's regime... The ruling elites in the US and Europe are sacrificing children, young people, women and other citizens while pretending to promote the desire for freedom. What ridiculous hypocrisy!"

NATO has a year to admit Ukraine to its club, The Times reported. Then Trump will come and clean up the mess.

"The alliance has at most a year to do so. Not only because NATO plans to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2024 with pageantry, but also because next year's summit could be Joe Biden's last, since Trump could become president again. Ukraine will no longer be able to count on significant financial and military aid.

In this context, it makes sense to begin the process of admitting Ukraine to the alliance as soon as possible and to provide it with security guarantees," the newspaper writes.

"What if Ukraine's offensive fails?" - RND

"Ukraine's Counteroffensive: A New Front and an Insurmountable Problem" - Tagesspiegel;

"Why the Ukrainian offensive is not advancing" - Die Zeit;

"German battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles will turn the tide of the war. This was the hope when the government in Berlin voted to supply them. But after the first Ukrainian attacks on Russian positions it turned out that this was not the case" - NZZ;

"Has Ukraine overestimated its strength? Already we can say that Europeans' expectations were too high" - t-online;

German-language media are now full of such headlines. They seem to have begun to suspect the scale of the failure of the counteroffensive in Ukraine - preparing the Germans for defeat and the realization that their tax contributions undoubtedly helped the people of Ukraine a lot, but, as in the bearded anecdote about the horse at the races - "well I simply couldn't do it".
