US Politics - July 2023

What is the precise strategy of the US for Ukraine? During the NATO summit (attended by G7 Members and other Western alliances), the US President reaffirmed promises to support Ukraine. However, there have been instances where the President also promised F-16 fighter jets to President Erdogan in an apparent attempt to influence Turkey's stance on Sweden's acceptance into NATO. Additionally, prior to the summit, the US allowed the delivery of Cluster Bombs to Ukraine, a move that has now seemingly garnered acceptance from various parties. This raises the question of whether the end justifies the means.

(Note: Both the Turkish Parliament and the US Congress must approve Sweden's acceptance and the provision of F-16s to Turkey. Considering Turkey's NATO membership since 1952, this situation prompts speculation about whether it is a strategic move or a bribery attempt.)


Who produces cluster bombs?


Sixteen countries are still believed to be cluster munition producers, including China, Russia, and Israel. The United States no longer produces cluster munitions but retains the option to produce them in the future. A total of fifty-nine countries stockpiles several million cluster munitions worldwide. The United States has an estimated stockpile of three million cluster munitions. In contrast, Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, who have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, recently destroyed all of their stockpiles.


What does the Convention on Cluster Munitions say?


The Convention on Cluster Munitions (Oslo Convention) entered into force in August 2010. It has been signed by 119 States. The Convention bans the use, production, trade and stockpiling of cluster bombs. It also requires States Parties to provide victim assistance and to clear contaminated areas.

However, the parties at the NATO summit pay great homage to the US President, particularly the NATO Secretary General, whose assignment was extended as the Alliance couldn't agree on a successor. This raises questions about whether the US seeks someone they can rely on with 100% ideological unity.


During a speech in Lithuania, Mr. Biden emphasized that the US has formed a coalition of 50 nations to ensure Ukraine's defense both presently and in the future. The coalition likely includes 31 NATO Members, Australia, New Zealand, some Pacific regions, Japan, and Taiwan. Notably, China, India, South America, the Middle East, and Africa are not part of this coalition. These 50 nations, often referred to as the Western alliance, appear to be placing their bets on green, renewable, and sustainable technologies, aiming for a future with reduced dependence on natural resources for survival.


In response to Russia's aggression, President Biden authorized an additional three thousand Reserves, bringing the total US troops in Europe to over 100,000. This includes new rotations of 10,000 troops in Poland, which has become a critical hub for supporting and supplying Ukraine. It's intriguing to question the necessity of troops "on the ground" in this context.


Furthermore, President Biden's promise to be around for the next five years seemingly guarantees a win in the 2024 elections. Despite the noise surrounding Hunter, it appears to have little impact on the media or political establishment. In the democratic process, this could potentially be a more significant factor than all of Trump's legal woes.


The Republicans are currently diverting campaign money to counter Trump's candidacy, but it hasn't diminished his lead. The nominee will face a well-funded democratic machine, backed by elite and left-leaning big donors while also claiming small donors, averaging $39 apiece. It remains to be seen if this money is well spent, as some may seek to radically change America and continue an elite-globalist agenda.


Certain Western news outlets have noted the unity among the US/NATO/G7 while also highlighting the importance of the Western world compared to the rest of the world and the unity among non-Western nations. This calls for the US and its allies to acknowledge that there can be multiple value systems, and a global world should engage in dialogue, accept differences, and address local skirmishes when they arise.


As for the press, there may be concerns about conformity and propaganda, similar to the issues surrounding Hunter and the Woke movement. People may perceive the climate change discussion as inducing fear about the end of the world, akin to a new Bible of the universe.


Let's observe if, by the end of the summer, the press adopts a more normalized language and fosters free speech for all, including diplomats, rather than promoting warmongering puppets in the administration. Such a change would be a beacon of hope.

Celebrating 250 years of the Army with a Parade , makes President Trump a King ? You can certainly debate if it is a good Idea, but a King, that is then called a Stratocracy , but calling Trump a Stratocrat, probably never heard.  Healthy again, well the US is probably the most obese country on the planet, and the most drug users at the same time, this is prescription only, not speaking of illegal drug, or over the counter. So give the administration some credit for cleaning out the pharmaceutical lobbyists in the vaccine advisory Group and get some independent and medical experts to decide. The new global order, with President Trump leaving the G7 summit early, without a clear statement, and a failed attempt to reinstate the G-8; (Russia is excluded since 2022) the G 6 without the US are trying their own power play with the new German Chancellor as the face and spokesperson , representing Canada and Europe, in an attempt to ridicule their standing and strengthen the BRIC coalition. Perhaps they took their advice from the Bilderberg community. But Merz, to keep his standing in Germany, must distance himself from Trump, as Trump is a person non grata in Germany . As of today, the Bilderberg Group is holding a conference at the "Grand Hôtel" in Stockholm. Under high security precautions, the elite circle has rented the entire hotel until June 15. In the German-speaking press, the discreet Bilderberg meeting has so far been remarked: nothing! The list of participants includes around 140 high-ranking personalities. Mark Rutte, (NATO Secretary General), Lars Klingbeil (Vice-Chancellor Germany), Julia Klöckner (President of the Bundestag), Christopher Donahue (US General, Commander US Army Europe and Africa), Samuel Paparo (US Admiral, Commander US Indo-Pacific Command), Albert Bourla (Chairman Pfizer), Richard Moore (Chief of British Intelligence), Sophie Wilmès (Vice-President of the EU Parliament) and numerous other actors from politics, business, science and the media will confer under strict Secrecy about big politics.

As a continuation of the summit in Helsinki , the following conference that included Presidents Bush and Gorbachev took place in November 1990 in Paris. The conference included 34 nations, each a part of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) . The conference resulted in the signing of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty by members of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The states of the CSCE also made arrangements to hold similar high-level political meetings regularly to build upon efforts to prevent conflict, control arms, and safeguard elections within these countries. [4] Netanyahu, Israel’s Premier, invokes the Old Testament—an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Since Israel and its supporters portray it as the homeland of Jesus, perhaps the phrase love your enemies was forgotten when the British mandate over Palestine expired and the State of Israel was born—with official recognition from both the U.S. and USSR. With the latest escalation in the conflict and a vow to eliminate Hamas , it appears that the escalation includes the elimination of Gaza . Those unable to flee are seemingly treated as legitimate targets in what some interpret as a strategy to clear the territory for Israeli expansion. What about Trump’s plan to buy the territory and rebuild? That would involve resettling many refugees, but is that worse than killing them? Trump is turning his focus to the broader Middle East , aiming to unite the “non-violent” actors and build a peace coalition, thereby restraining Iran’s allies (presumed to have UN protection), who are often seen as the root of instability. So why are evangelicals supporting the violence —alongside the Jewish elite— while the Left and Europe begin to reconsider their stance ? Are all Palestinians terrorists? What is the true meaning of “from the River to the Sea” —a call for democracy or a religious conflict between Islam and Christianity? And then there’s the UN, watching? And the new Pope, pleading for aid —but peace talks? Only Trump? Shortly after his inauguration, Chancellor Merz made his mark on German politics by deploying permanent troops to Lithuania— you be the judge —possibly to support allies under the guise of protection. His actions won’t help global stability, and insiders in Germany do not dismiss the possibility of aggression reminiscent of WWII, now reframed under the narrative that Russia is the enemy. He will certainly support Zelensky unconditionally, using the war as justification to rebuild EU military strength. European Union leaders concluded a busy defense-focused week by endorsing a landmark plan to unlock €800 billion ($866 billion) in European military spending—though internal political divisions remain. Nelson Mandela, upon becoming South Africa’s president, emphasized moving forward together—not retaliating for the past. One reason for his divorce was reportedly that his wife had a more radical, vengeance-driven outlook, which he believed was incompatible with building a democratic society. Yes, apartheid was real, but reversing the oppression with retribution only prolongs emotional wounds. One has to ask what is just . Perhaps Trump has a point— crime is rampant . But of course, there are always two sides to a story .
