Obviously, much of the war continues through proxies, but the Anglo-Zionist Empire’s struggle to maintain its global hegemony is what is driving the geopolitical and financial turmoil. The ultimate goal is the subjugation of China, and the road to that goal is the Jewish Nationalist revenge wars on Russia and Iran. Things aren’t going well. Iran has claimed the initiative against the US—to the point that Trump hasn’t responded to Iran’s recent attacks on US bases. But the war continues.
Last week we saw CIA Director Ratcliffe fly on a mission to Moscow, reportedly seeking to talk the Russians into a ceasefire in Ukraine, to allow for Ukraine to regroup and be rearmed to continue the war later. Ratcliffe barely got the time of day—his meetings were confined to one with the head of Russian intel, not any of the diplomatic people. This coming week the NY Jewish real estate contingent will be talking to their counterparts in Kiev. Meanwhile, the US continues to support Ukraine’s now failed drone and missile offensive against Russia.
Disturbingly, Germany—of all countries—is upping the offensive against Russia:

Germany is preparing to attack Russia with 5,000 AI-guided long-range drones. Germany did not use to send such weapons because it would make Germany a participant in the war.
Not surprisingly, Russia is exhibiting no sense of humor about this development:

Russia warns German long-range missile sites WILL become legitimate military targets
The Russian Embassy in Berlin has warned that locations hosting Germany’s planned long-range missile systems will become “legitimate military targets” for Russia if the weapons are deployed against it.
“Critics of unrestrained German militarization rightly point out that the deployment sites of such weapons will inevitably become legitimate military targets for Russia.”
Germany is developing long-range precision missile and drone capabilities designed to strike targets at distances of up to 2,000 kilometers, according to the embassy, which says Moscow would regard their deployment as a direct threat to Russia and the Union State.
Germany can’t seem to get away from genocide:
I’m going to get to an edited partial transcript from The Duran, but to lead up to that I want to pivot quickly to China, bearing in mind that Xi Jinping is scheduled to arrive in DC later this month. Xi will arrive in the full knowledge that nothing he hears from Trump or any other American official can be trusted, and that Anglo-Zionist America will always be an implacable enemy of China.

US is forcing Venezuelan default on $10 billion of debt to China, Venezuela’s largest creditor. The debt was repaid in oil that now ships to US and Israel.
I suspect China will compose an appropriate response.
Nic @puckrin
Wow.
China just got dealt a massive blow in Venezuela.
Beijing spent years financing Venezuela in exchange for access to its oil.
The US is now dismantling that relationship.
Chinese banks extended more than $60B in oil-backed loans to Venezuela, making Beijing one of Caracas’ most important creditors.
More than $10B is still owed.
Oil was central to how that debt got repaid.
But since the US takeover, Venezuelan crude shipments to China have fallen to zero, after reaching more than 600k barrels per day at points last year.
And Washington is making clear that China won’t have a claim on the oil revenues now being redirected under the new system.
The key is that China can probably replace the barrels.
Venezuela supplied just 4% of China’s crude imports in 2025.
What’s much harder to replace is the influence Beijing spent nearly 20 years & billions of dollars building.
China may lose far more in Venezuela than just the oil.
Yesterday we saw that India’s Modi had been forced into condemning the USraeli war on Iran. It turns out that that wasn’t the end of the story. The Ratcliffe mission to Moscow was only part of the US offensive to try to pressure Putin to back off from victory in Ukraine. Various BRICS countries were press ganged into trying to pressure Putin at the SCO conference. Two of the premier snakes in the world—Modi and Erdogan—led the charge. I found this conversation quite fascinating:
Alex C.: The one theme that came out of this this summit, at least with regard to Russia, is that you had many of the leaders of Eurasian countries begging Russia to agree to a US ceasefire. What do you make of this?
Mercouris: This is exactly what happened. There was something that closely approximated to a gang up against Putin at Bishkek. And the leader was Narendra Modi of India. The long and the short of it was that they were all trying to get Putin to agree to a ceasefire. We’ve already spoken about President Lula of Brazil, who was not at Bishkek because Brazil is not a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. But Lula has already been pressing Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. But Modi himself weighed in, in a very public manner. Modi straightforwardly said that there has to be peace,
‘all the world wants peace between Russia and Ukraine. I am aware of many of the things that you’ve been telling me about the situation in the conflict area, but in spite of that, if war continues, humanity takes a step back. If peace comes, humanity takes a step forward. India will always support peace. India is the country of Mahatma Gandhi and of the Buddha. It always therefore stands for peace, and there needs to be a cessation of hostilities as soon as possible.’
It was as straightforward as hat. And I was looking at the footage of this meeting. I’ve followed Putin many times, and I could see that he was furious. He was extremely angry to be lectured by Modi in that kind of way. And it wasn’t just Modi. Erdogan was there. He was talking in much the same way. He was saying essentially the same kind of things. And Tokayev, the president of Kazakhstan, also supposedly an ally of Russia, apparently weighed in and said the same things. But one leader, ultimately perhaps the most important one, didn’t. And that was Xi Jinping.
A Russian journalist asked Putin, “Was Russia put under any special pressure in Bishkek?” And Putin said, “We weren’t put under any special pressure, but we had to listen to all our respected friends make their respected contributions about wanting the conflict to be ended quickly, but you know, this something that we’ve learned to expect by now. And we’ve got no problems with it.” When Putin talks like that, you know that he does have a problem with it. Putin wasn’t happy about it at all. But the key thing is, at the end of this meeting, Putin went away having conceded nothing. And the final statement that came out of the meeting in Bishkek didn’t refer to Ukraine at all. So, Putin held to his position. He refused to agree to a ceasefire. He had, as we will discuss in a moment, the backing of Xi. He won in effect a diplomatic victory.
Alex C: Do they really care, Modi and Tokayev and all of these guys, about the ceasefire, or is this just the US that is placing pressure on them? I mean the US is calling up Kazakhstan and India and they’re using leverage. They’ve got leverage over these countries in one form or another and they’re exerting that leverage to put pressure on Russia to agree to the ceasefire so that Ukraine can get the time that it needs to rearm and restart the war further down the line.
Brazil for example, I understand what Lula’s doing. He’s got elections. The US is probably telling Lula, “Look, we can make the elections easy for you or we can make the elections difficult for you. If you want the elections to go smoothly, well then you have to put pressure on Putin.”The US has those tools that they can put on on all of these countries, including BRICS members. They probably don’t have sufficient tools to put on China and that’s why you see a different reaction from China. But is Modi or Tokayev then going to go to the Americans and say, “I tried. I told Putin exactly what you told me to tell him. Now leave me alone.” Or do they really want do they really want to keep on pressing this issue with Russia?
Mercouris: You are absolutely correct. That is exactly what’s driving this. I think what perhaps particularly angered Putin about Modi’s comments was Modi trotting out people like the Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi and claiming that India is a country that always stands for peace. I’m not saying that India is a belligerent or war-like country, but India is perfectly prepared to use force to defend its interests.
…
What I learned in Moscow [Mercouris was there last week] was that after the BRICS conference in Kazan, in late 2024, when all the arrangements were made to set up all the various BRICS payment systems, basically nothing happened because first the Brazilians and then others showed extreme nervousness in moving forward with it. They were all scared of the US and the Russians were both scornful of this and deeply frustrated by it. This does make it look like BRICS is ultimately very weak. Collectively they are still very scared of the Americans.
China is different. And here the dynamic was completely different. The Chinese have released an extraordinarily long, as they always do, read out of Xi Jinping’s meeting with Putin. And it didn’t once mention Ukraine. I get the sense that the Chinese have put this topic of Ukraine totally to one side. They are forging forward with their relations with the Russians. There’s a lot of talk that the discussions on the pipeline are now resolved and that we could be hearing getting an announcement for this very very soon. But all sorts of other things, economic ideas, military ideas, all of that, that relationship remains very very strong and very very stable. I have no doubt at all that it was China that ensured that Ukraine was kept out of the SCO summit declaration’s final statement.
The Russians, if it had been just them, might not have had enough authority to prevent Ukraine from getting into the statement. But China and Russia together ensured that Ukraine was not mentioned at all. So it really doesn’t matter to Russia if Kazakhstan or India turns on them in this way. At the end of the day, given everything that’s happening in the Middle East with Iran, India needs the Russian oil for their own economy. Kazakhstan, sure, is influenced–maybe even certain parts of that society are captured by the US oligarch class. But at the end of the day, Kazakhstan without good relations with Russia is going nowhere. So, the US has its leverage and it can exert its leverage and its influence. But Russia knows that they have more leverage–or, at a minimum, an equal amount of leverage in the case of India and much more in the case of Kazakhstan.
The long and the short is that the Anglo-Zionists, thwarted militarily, are still trying a full global pressure campaign against Russia and, therefore, China. Xi will come to DC knowing that.
Let’s finish with some economic/financial news. Because that’s ultimately what all these wars are about—maintaining the privileged financialized status of our rulers. They are the house in the Wall St. casino. The casino has to be kept pumped up to keep Trump in office in order to continue prosecuting this global war.
Did you see what happened when the “good” employment news came out? The markets tanked. That was bad news for the casino because it meant that the Fed would be more likely to raise the cost of money to play with. Trump immediately took drastic steps to ramp up inflation. Read it:

The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August, three times higher than expectations.
Not surprised. The money supply is surging, with Divisia M4 growing at 7.9%/yr.
Broad money growth determines the growth rate of nominal GDP (real growth + inflation).
So here’s the tell that this financialized economy is being run for the insiders.

The system is broken.
You know the system is broken when stocks FALL after the US unexpectedly adds +162,000 jobs in a month, TRIPLING expectations.
Why? Because a strong jobs report means a higher chance of rate hikes.
This the product 60-straight months of 2%+ inflation.
Markets now “want” a labor market collapse.
Wow! Good News for Americans is … bad news for their rulers? Trump rose to the occasion:

BREAKING: President Trump calls on the Fed to cut interest rates after the August jobs report nearly triples expectations.
Trump also threatens to “stop trading with countries with which we have a deficit” if the Fed does not cut rates.
The Fed “must get smart,” Trump says.
September 16th is about to be a wild day.
We now have President Trump threatening to “stop trading” with all countries that the US has a trade deficit with if the Fed does not CUT rates.
This would effectively cut off trade with ~50% of all US trading partners, including Mexico, China, Taiwan, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and India.
