This may have already been posted on a previous thread, but I am adding it to the fray, as it seems important in our continued survival as a species. It’s a repost on Naked Capitalism regarding Biden’s backdown on long range missiles in Russia.
It shows how the US Military can say “No” to the President, and explains Biden’s irritation.
A very interesting and reassuring fact, sort of.

To my understanding three huge russian weapons depots have been destroyed deep inside Russia and the only way to achieve this was with cruise missiles, guided by NATO personal. The entire premise of Wilkerson’s statement would be wrong in this case. The deep strikes have occurred and that means they had green light as there is no way for Ukraine to do this by themselves.
Russia made no statement and made no threats but that doesn’t mean the deep strikes were not NATO strikes.
Biden surely is not in charge but not because reason took over, just some other power manifestation.

This is a great thread on Twitter, showing how South Korean industry leader Samsung is being trounced across the board by the Chinese. It is now in a major layoffs phase.
All part of perhaps a second China Shock as China moves from producing for foreign corporations to taking full control of the value add and moving up the technology level. Poison to so many Western companies that made fat profits outsourcing manufacturing to China and selling to the Chinese market.
China will take over in the world outside the North American tariff walls, even in Europe. South Korea Inc., and Japan Inc., will be progressively crushed.

When has killing brown people ever been a problem?
When has there ever been “recoil and horror” at the wholesale slaughter of people?. Churchill himself wrote boldly and unashamedly about his time machine gunning hundreds in a day’s work in Afghanistan.

Not that I still read much of the “The MoA Week In Review” given the clear fake “BREAKING: Cornel West is dropping out and endorsing Trump” is still alive and kicking on the MOA website but why adding links to the BBC which has been a pinnacle of British propaganda for about a century?
“Israel strike kills 22 in Gaza school, says health ministry – BBC”
The “says health ministry” was only added to downplay, maybe even discredit what had occurred because in the next breath that propaganda outlet will proclaim its run by Hamas.
If Hamas, Hezbollah or the Syrian government would destroy an Israeli or jewish school cramped with refugees, would that same propaganda outlet ever feature a headline as follows?
“Hamas strike kills 22 in Tel Aviv school, says health ministry – BBC”
Or would it entail words like “sheer horror”, “attack”, “murders”, … cast as facts as opposed to accusations by the victim?

Suggest also “The Magic Island” from Israel Shamir over at unz today:

Let me explain what I mean with an example. Woody Allen, the New York filmmaker, released an unusual movie in his earlier days, What’s Up, Tiger Lily. He didn’t shoot a single frame, but took a finished third-rate Japanese movie and re-dubbed it, putting in a completely different soundtrack. The result was an original screenplay overlaid onto existing celluloid, a new interpretation of the original movie. If you have ever watched a foreign movie in an unfamiliar language on TV starting from the middle, you have faced a similar task, trying to guess the plot and comprehend what you have seen. This is a similar task to re-interpreting historical events from the additional knowledge and increased perspective of a later era. Individual events are set in concrete, so to speak, but they can be connected in original ways. Every storyteller offers his interpretation, and the historical consensus picks the narrative to best describe reality. Thus, over thirty years ago, two narratives collided in Russia; the Russian Soviet narrative and the Western, neo-liberal narrative. The Western narrative won, that is, for a while the Western Woody Allen managed to convince the Russian viewer of the rightness of his version of events. With such a simple change of paradigm, the Russian people permitted a terrible robbery to take place, and Russia’s riches sailed abroad, leaving behind empty factories and transforming our great motherland into a second-rate power. This historical coup was made almost bloodlessly. The controlled demolition of Russia was proof that mastery of the narrative is mastery of the world. The one who can re-tell the movie becomes ex post facto its director.

The rest of the essay is similarly brilliant.
It made me think of another Woody Allen film, Crimes and Misdemeanors with Martin Landau where he gets away with killing his mistress before she is able to tell his well-to-do family about their affair. In an earlier scene in the movie, there is a recollection of his Jewish family having their passover meal and the strange aunt is making the point that if one can get away with a crime, then all the smarter and true is the one able to escape. The rest of the family objects but the point has been made and silently appropriated by the family: if you can get away with it, why would you choose to face your guilt?
Woody Allen has some gems. As he is an artist, I would say let his art stand by itself. But the picture it paints of Jewry is difficult to understand as a Christian. For an artist, to bring difficulty to the viewer is the Supreme stamp of success.

I would like to remind Ms. Johnstone of the fact that the Ukraine’s Maidan was “a gay parade with Nazis”.
Why does the Empire use LGBTQWERTY++ people in their “color revolutions”? They are a demographic of which a large proportion is predisposed to self-pity and melodrama. It is easy, with a little encouragement, to get many of them whining in unison about not being allowed to do… I don’t now; whatever it is they want to do but feel they can’t.
Of course, there are other demographics with built-in butthurt too, like religious fundamentalists, who the Empire finds easy to use for shit-stirring operations like “color revolutions”, but the LGBTQWERTY++ demographic is the one getting the hard sell right now.
I honestly don’t mind if western corporate hiring practices and product marketing focus centers on darker skin tones and an affinity for boys’ asses and slovenly wildebeest women. The only people who can see where that is taking the Empire and give a shit about it are the people who want the Empire to prevail. For example, Pamela Anderson and Farrah Fawcett; Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone had more impact on the growth of America’s “soft power” than any government agency save possibly for NASA, so American mass media’s shift to featuring ugly women and weak and effeminate men is doing wonders to tarnish the “shine” on that shining city on the hill in the eyes of global media consumers. I absolutely love it.
Then there is making “diversity” the chief criterion when assembling engineering teams. This is why America’s tech icons like Boeing, Microsoft, and Intel are sucking wind. What is not to like about the Empire’s backbone turning to jelly?
America’s social and cultural degeneracy is a good thing. Now do your Xanax and fentanyl and focus your attention on your pleasant delusions, and whatever you do, ignore the sounds of the screams of the victims of your LGBTQWERTY++ evangelism in the Ukraine.

Funny little contradictions in b’s China collection.
Story 1. China.gov is agonising about the need to raise the retirement age for workers to prevent pension funds from running out of cash.
Story 2. Chinese EV manufacturers are giving non-Chinese car makers, worldwide, the shits by selling $35,000 cars for ~$19,000.
Where I’m from, selling things for half-price is called “Leaving Money On The Table” and “A Good Way To Go Broke.”
Since China.gov is worried that declining Pension Funds could bankrupt China, one imagines that China.gov could ‘encourage’ EV manufacturers to curb their enthusiasm and start offering their EVs at a ~5% discount instead of a ~50% discount, and pay more Tax to China.gov.(?)

My read is entirely different. The stated goal of the Biden/Harris administration has been to minimize possible negative impacts from Ukraine and Gaza/Israel on the 2024 Presidential election.
The one way to guarantee a failure of this policy in Ukraine is to provoke Russia into launching a massive assault to resolve Ukrainian terrorism.
So in my book, Biden was never going to approve long range missiles. The Pentagon – stocked with the likes of the successors of Petraeus and Austin – is simply a convenient excuse.
The UK, in contrast, has already had its election and so is yapping hysterically even louder than normal.
That nation is going to need to replace its canine icon from the Bulldog to the Chihuahua.

The interview is well worth reading but Rashid Khalidi’s understanding of Netanyahu and Israel’s present socio-political direction is entirely at odds with say, Alastair Crooke’s.
For example:

I don’t think there is a clear Israeli vision of what to do. Netanyahu has very little idea of what he wants strategically. What he wants personally is a continuation of the war with no clear end strategy. That serves his narrow political interest: staying in power, not having an election and not going on trial.

This sentence would be accurate pre 10/7/23, but Alastair Crooke, every week, says that it is no longer true – that most Israelis now support the full ethnic cleansing of Gaza, West Bank and potentially even south Lebanon.
As such, the historical background in the interview is interesting but the value of Mr. Khalidi in describing Palestinian thoughts and direction – certainly of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, in Lebanon, in Jordan, in Egypt etc, seems weak to me.
What I read in the interview is the view of a Palestinian who was born and raised in the West and is detached from the horror and reality of being a Palestinian in the Middle East, much less Gaza, today.

These folks aren’t going to go back to Russia they are going to go to China who I bet is already planning if not building a bigger better CERN and who will be thrilled to hire them and likely with an extra big sign-up bonus, higher salary, and a much better cost of living to spend it in. Wish I was a Ruskie particle physicist:

CERN’s ‘politicized’ plan to ban Russian scientists threatens West with ‘scientific slum’ status
The EU’s “absolutely irresponsible” plans to “erase” Russia from the international scientific process will inevitably boomerang against them, political scientist and nuclear energy expert Alexei Anpilogov told Sputnik.
He commented on the CERN’s intention to bar up to 500 Russian scientists from its facilities, including the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator, effective December 1.
How can it backfire to the West?
The Russophobic decision will result in a situation where “all countries will be extremely cautious about international science megaprojects,” with the understanding that they could be nixed at any time for “absolutely political reasons,” the observer warned.
The LHC infrastructure was largely made possible thanks to Russian scientists, who have long played a leading role in elementary particle physics, quantum physics and astrophysics – fields giving birth “to big science that will be demand 100 years from now,” Anpilogov pointed out. If Russia’s contribution to world science is diminished, “this will stop progress, or at least slow it down quite significantly,” he said.
Western attempts to wall themselves off from Russian science, taken to levels unseen even during the Cold War, threaten to turn the West into a “scientific slum,” according to the observer.
Russia and the countries of the Global South, who make up the global majority, will inevitably create their own science megaprojects, based on the principle of the non-ideologization of science.

William Gruff@28 rewrites history to claim Maidan was “a gay parade with Nazis.” The Nazis were there but the others were people intent on getting the money they thought would show down from the EU when they joined. Similarly, the primary motivation of students in color revolutions is that same as Tian An Men square: College graduates aren’t getting the cushy jobs and high salaries they see as a right. The claim most imperialist propaganda centers on demanding gay rights is ludicrous: Abstract invocations of “democracy,” the false promise of prosperity, freedom from bad guys like the PRC or Russia, women’s rights are all way ahead. But then William Gruff knows this, which is why Gruff gloats about how gay rights is a bad seller! The additional claim diversity is what ruined Boeing is so far as I can tell deliberate apologies for finance guys, who I dare to say have a lot more to do with Boeing’s decline, no matter what our host says. Gruff is covering for them. The discovery that it’s gay liberation in Kyiv, rather than fascists, also so far as I can tell, is more apologetics, this time to distract from fascists.
Roehm head of the Sturmabteilung was indeed an unapologetic gay may. He was also nothing like the effeminate stereotypes that so exercise Gruff’s deranged imagination, by the way. But not only are the Roehms rare, but the boldest, like Roehm, tend to get purged. The German general staff demanded it to make Nazism safe for the armed forces and to satisfy their own William Gruffs. (Incidentally, Roehm did actually want the jobs of the general staff for his boys, unlike the William Gruffs, who just want to bleat on command.)

I did not talk about the Chinese motives for reducing fossil fuel use, but the OUTCOME. That outcome is that their greenhouse gas emissions will continue downward as they drive for absolute leadership in the new “green” technologies (“all of the above” in low carbon technologies), clean air (an issue that they need to keep making progress on) and energy independence. I have repeatedly stated, even in academic journals, that the GHG reductions will be an outcome not a main driver. That will not stop the Chinese state from using this outcome for political gain, and its reputation being improved for that.
China is already far ahead of the US in PPP terms on an economy size level, and when assessing actual physical outputs there are serious questions about PPP underestimating the size of the Chinese economy, and therefore GDP per capita at PPP. Even with that underestimation the World Bank and IMF pretty much agree that Chinese GDP per capita was US$25,000 at PPP in 2023. That will be US$35,000 PPP at current Chinese growth rates (5% growth with a slightly falling population). That’s for the whole country, what about the richest 1/4 of them (i.e. equal to the US population) In Beijing, Shanghai and the other Tier 1 cities? And that’s not deducting the many US malinvestments and rentier income counted as output (e.g. 20% of GDP spent on healthcare for some of the worst outcomes in the wold). And with zones looking more like the third world as the US comes to more look like Brazil.
At the same time China will be dominant in industry after industry, with a military that will deter any real US aggression. Unlike the US in the 1950s it is not busy invading other countries, overthrowing foreign governments etc. Also, not driving a nuclear arms race. It also does have massive gold reserves, other foreign exchange reserves etc. It also has 35% of all global manufacturing, more than double that of the US.
A country at peace with the world, with safe streets at home, and continuing growth in the living standards of the population, while dominating one industry after another, and leading the reductions ion greenhouse gases. And too strong for the US to subjugate. In many ways countries have MORE reasons to look up to China than they did to the US, and China did not need a world war to destroy the productive capacity of its competitors. Oh, and China isn’t directly supplying and taking part in an ongoing genocide.

Positive news from Sri Lanka, which just elected an old-school leftist as its new president. The US removed Sri Lanka’s China-friendly president in a 2022 color revolution, followed by similar operations in Pakistan (2023) and Bangladesh (2024). The AP headline screams ‘Marxist Dissanayake Wins Sri Lanka’s Presidential Election’ so the hegemon seems rather displeased with this development. Global Times predicts Sri Lanka’s realignment away from the US and India’s anti-China axis toward a more multipolar policy.
I guess the new president should expect a visit from Donald Lu, the notorious State Department thug dispatched to threaten Imran Khan and Sheik Hasina before their overthrow. Hopefully he still has an AK from his militant youth to keep under his new desk!

Here’s the what the SEP, which has a historic presence in Sri Lanka, has to say.
“The JVP, which is contesting the election through its electoral front, the National People’s Power (NPP), is trying to exploit the popular anger towards the traditional ruling class parties, claiming that its government would make a “change” by eliminating corruption. NPP candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake, however, has reassured big business and key sections of the state apparatus that if elected he will implement the IMF’s demands.”
The fact that this is the sun total of their critique of AKD likely indicates they don’t have much to attack him om yet. A good sign. They also routinely attack Putin, Wagenknecht in Germany and write about Trump as though he were Hitler, so I take their opinions with a big grain of salt.

In the relatively near term, reduction of Chinese energy imports and greenhouse emissions will be driven by the collapse of western consumer economy. If there’s no market for what China makes, they have no reason to make it. Let’s keep in mind, also, that China’s carbon footprint comes from manufacturing goods for most of the world, so those other countries have artificially low carbon footprints and energy use. If we were to prorate the carbon footprint of Chinese goods and apply that to the economies where the goods are consumed, the picture would be very different.

RT:
US could ban Russian and Chinese car software – media
The US Commerce Department may impose restrictions on the use of Chinese and Russian software in so-called connected vehicles, or cars with access to the internet, cloud services, or navigation systems.
According to reports by Reuters and Bloomberg citing government sources over the weekend, the ban could be announced as soon as on Monday.
Most modern cars can be considered connected, as they have onboard network hardware that allows internet access and data sharing with devices both inside and outside the vehicle.
According to the reports, US officials consider connected vehicles potential targets for hacking, which could be achieved through intercepting the vehicle’s communication with software systems.
The ban would presumably prevent China or Russia from hacking the cars or tracking them.
The measure would reportedly largely focus on software, but include some restrictions on Chinese- and Russian-made vehicle hardware as well, sources claimed.
Apart from connected vehicles, it would also reportedly include autonomous cars.
Two sources told Reuters that the regulation would completely ban the import and sale of vehicles from China with communications or automated driving system software or hardware.
The news comes on the heels of a probe ordered earlier this year by US President Joe Biden.
In February, Biden urged the Commerce Department to investigate potential risks posed by Chinese vehicle imports to national security.
The White House explained that connected vehicles “collect large amounts of sensitive data on their drivers and passengers (and) regularly use their cameras and sensors to record detailed information on US infrastructure.”
While the results of the investigation have not yet been made public, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo followed up in May, claiming that the risks posed by foreign software or hardware in connected vehicles were significant.
“You can imagine the most catastrophic outcome theoretically if you had a couple million cars on the road and the software were disabled,” she argued.
According to the recent reports, Commerce plans to announce the new ban on Monday, but will give the public 30 days to comment on the measure before finalizing it.

To my understanding three huge russian weapons depots have been destroyed deep inside Russia and the only way to achieve this was with cruise missiles,

The problem is your understanding.
Lloyd Austin informed that worthy Russian military targets are out of range of American and British missiles, and Simplicius further supported that notion, asserting these attacks on ammo depots were made with Ukrainian drones.
Of course you must understand that your opinion weight less than a bag of popcorn when compared with the information provided by the USA Sec. of Defense and the expert known as Simplicius.

Here is a recommendation to MoA host and commenters.
I understand most of you sincere commenters and our host have leftist inclinations, and many are Marxists, yet I feel at home commenting here because even though I oppose Marxism and am a deeply conservative person, I respect the old, the principled Left.
The recommendation is to read a piece published today at The Unz Review:
https://www.unz.com/jtaylor/allies-on-the-left/
There is a brief and colorful introduction to principled leftists doing good work in Europe from the point of view of an American conservative.
In my view, as a relatively young conservative European, we are facing terrible incompetence, malice, fanaticism and corruption from the leadership of neoliberals, both in Europe and the USA. These neoliberals control both center-left and center-right parties.
People like those behind BSW and AfD in Germany should put aside deep ideological differences and join in an operative coalition to remove the neoliberals infesting our institutions. For reasons of peace, decency and prosperity.
Once the neoliberal cancer has been removed, we can oppose and antagonize each other about the relative importance of justice and freedom, as we always do. But the task today is different, and I’m afraid it’s also urgent.
