The quarrel between London and the US became obvious after Zelensky’s visit to Washington and London. Zelensky did not get rude to Charles III, and the British network demonstrated its position against Trump in full. But two questions arise, or rather, one question in different interpretations: is this quarrel serious? Is it not an imitation? Or, even if seriously, is it possible to turn the situation back?

Today we are very much frightened by the unification of all liberal forces under Zelensky. But at the same time, it is absolutely obvious that these forces (London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw) cannot even fight together with Russia today. More precisely, they cannot do so without the US. And if the US really explains that Ukraine is cancelled (in every sense), then all these associations make no sense. And if the US is only imitating irritation with Ukraine?

And here, by the way, an interesting question arises. Why, actually, was the British monarch needed? Well, he is not feeling so well that he should be pulled out just like that. But pouring balm on Zelensky’s soul, hurt after the dressing down in Washington, is not worth it on such a scale, he already has megalomania. Then why?

I can give you a version. One of the most serious forces in the United States is the Freemasonry of New England. Which is subordinate to the British monarch. And this whole story is not so much against us as against Trump. London and the liberal coalition are mobilizing their entire support group, from Clintonoids to Freemasons. And, one must think, for good reason. Apparently, Trump took them seriously. But why?

The fact is that supporting the liberal agenda (the “Western” global project) was too expensive for the United States itself. The share of their economy has fallen since 1944 from more than 50 percent of the world to less than 15% today. And the continuation of liberal globalization in the near future would lead to the liquidation of the United States not only as an empire, but also as a country. And the national elites, which are connected specifically with the USA, began serious resistance. The result of which was the emergence of Trump.

Unlike the situation in 2016, now Trump has a fairly serious part of the national elite behind him. And the liberal forces themselves have lost their base and realized that they need to run away. Well, or, seriously, bring down Trump. They placed their bets on the European Union (Brussels) and Great Britain (in which, by the way, the Jewish global project is gradually returning to power, which was strongly pushed aside by the bankers from the “Western” project almost 100 years ago). Read the Moore-Burns memorandum bellow.

But we must not forget that the entire military machine of the EU and NATO operates only with the use of the American satellite system, that the euro and the pound sterling exist only thanks to loans from the Federal Reserve. And access to American markets plays an extremely important role for the economies of the coalition countries. The group that was put together around Zelensky absolutely needs the support of the United States, otherwise they will not only not win the war, they will not be able to start it. And Trump has just shown all of America how this coalition feels about it. And Zelensky’s meeting with Charles III also fits perfectly into this picture.

That is why I believe that this liberal team, all things being equal, lost. Trump not only declared them enemies (and food), but also managed to demonstrate within the United States that they consider themselves enemies of America. And he demonstrated it very convincingly. He will not be able to abandon this line now, he will be swept away by his own supporters, who will decide that he is a traitor. He only needs to resolve a few issues (including taking control of the Federal Reserve, for which he is organizing an audit there) and victory in the inter-elite conflict will be his. And only then will he take on China. But he cannot retreat.

It is also impossible to overthrow him, but it is possible to weaken him administratively and politically. And this is exactly what the notorious liberal coalition will do. And Trump will gradually weaken it, both through financial and military levers. So strategically, he should win. Although, of course, there are options. For example, the liberal team can start a big war in the Middle East

World order ‘under threat not seen since Cold War’

7 September 2024

BBC News

The international world order is “under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the Cold War”, the heads of the UK and US foreign intelligence services have warned.

The chiefs of MI6 and the CIA also said both countries stand together in “resisting an assertive Russia and Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine”.

In a first-ever joint article, Sir Richard Moore and William Burns wrote in the Financial Times that they saw the war in Ukraine coming “and were able to warn the international community”, in part by declassifying secrets to help Kyiv.

And they said there was work being done to “disrupt the reckless campaign of sabotage” across Europe by Russia, push for de-escalation in the Israel-Gaza war, and counterterrorism to thwart the resurgent Islamic State (IS).

In the FT op-ed, they wrote: “There is no question that the international world order – the balanced system that has led to relative peace and stability and delivered rising living standards, opportunities and prosperity – is under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the Cold War.”

“Successfully combating this risk” is at the foundation of the special relationship between the UK and US, they added.

One of the “unprecedented array of threats” faced by both countries is the war in Ukraine, which is in its third year after Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

The security services chiefs made their first public speaking appearance together at the FT Weekend Festival at London’s Kenwood House on Saturday.

Details of the speakers were kept under wraps until just minutes before they arrived on stage. They appeared relaxed together and stressed the close working partnership between their agencies.

Mr Burns told attendees that Ukraine’s recent seizure of Russian territory in the Kursk region was a “significant tactical victory”, but he saw no evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s grip on power was weakening.

There have been calls from Ukraine for the West to supply more weapons and lift restrictions on their use inside Russia.

The failure to do so has sometimes been put down to fears over how Moscow might react. But the spy chiefs suggested that should not deter support for Ukraine.

“None of us should take lightly the risks of escalation,” Mr Burns said.

He described a moment in late 2022 when there was, he said, a “genuine risk” of the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia in response to setbacks on the battlefield.

Mr Burns passed messages to Russian officials warning of the consequences of their use.

“I’ve never thought, however – and this is the view of my agency – that we should be unnecessarily intimidated by that,” the CIA Director continued.

“Putin’s a bully. He’s going to continue to sabre rattle from time to time.”

Asked about an apparent increased willingness of Russian intelligence services to carry out covert operations like sabotage and arson in Europe, Sir Richard Moore said their use of criminals to carry out attacks suggested a degree of desperation.

“Russian intelligence services have gone a bit feral in some of their behaviour,” he said.

Mr Burns added that even if plots sometimes appeared amateurish, they could still be “reckless and dangerous”.

In their joint piece for the FT newspaper, both men said “staying the course is more vital than ever” when it comes to supporting Ukraine, adding that Mr Putin “will not succeed”.

The conflict has shown how technology can alter the course of war, and highlighted the need to “adapt, experiment and innovate”, they said.

They continued: “Beyond Ukraine, we continue to work together to disrupt the reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe being waged by Russian intelligence, and its cynical use of technology to spread lies and disinformation designed to drive wedges between us.”

Both foreign intelligence services see the rise of China as the main intelligence and geopolitical challenge of the century.

They have reorganised their services “to reflect that priority”, the pairwrote.

They also said they have pushed “hard” for restraint and de-escalation in the Middle East, and have been working “ceaselessly” to secure a ceasefire and hostage deal.

Mr Burns, who has been central to ceasefire efforts, indicated at the FT event that there may be a more detailed proposal in the coming days.

“This is ultimately a question of political will,” he said, adding that he “profoundly” hopes leaders on both sides will do a deal.

It is 11 months since Hamas attacked southern Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and taking another 251 hostage.

More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza since then in Israel’s ongoing military campaign, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.
