The Four Powers Aligning

Kim Jong un Rocket

COMMENT: Marty, you have been spot on. North Korea, China, and Iran are banning together with Russia. What you have laid out is basic common sense. The ancient saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I don’t understand how common sense seems to be no so common certainly among our journalists who appear to be promoting war all the time.

REPLY: The news is now touting that North Korea has sent troops to fight alongside Russia in Ukraine. When we do this, they are labelled “advisers” not troops. They are helping to operate the launchers for North Korean ballistic missile systems that Pyongyang has supplied to Moscow. There are also Brits there as “advisers” assisting in the same targeting of UK weapons. This is how the media flips things. If North Korean is sending “troops” then that justifies America sending in troops rather than just advisers who provide the target data to strike inside Russia and Russian ships in the Black Sea.

North Korea has been preparing for war with the South constructing a border wall and they are completely severing road and rail ties with the South. Kim Jong Un for the first time openly rejected the goal of an eventual reconciliation or reunification between the two countries. He now sees the South as the enemy. That is a significant departure. This is a project that is preparing for another Korean War and as I have warned, a coordinated attack with China vs Taiwan, Russia takes out Kiev, and Iran sends troops to attack Israel, and you begin to see that these four powers can overwhelm Western forces.

Our Neocons are out of their minds. The mere fact that Dick Cheney is supporting Kamala is confirmation alone this election is all about World War III.  They have staged a coup under Biden of Foreign Policy and this is why they are all supporting Kamala. The presumed the average American is just too stupid to pay attention while the guys are cheering sport and women are protesting abortion, they slide World War III into play on the most dangerous level in human history. NEVER do they consider perhaps they might be wrong and they lost once again as they have lost EVERY war since World War II.

The New G8


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jun 16, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Russia has created a new alliance that many are calling the “new G8.” Russia was expelled from the original Group of Eight in March 2014, following the annexation of Crimea. Russia stated that it did not care about the snub. “All the economic and financial questions are decided in G20, and G8 has the purpose of existence as the forum of dialogue between the leading Western countries and Russia,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated. There is no dialogue between the major Western superpowers in Russia at this point in time. Former President Obama’s ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, went as far as saying that the West must insure Russia has “no real allies.”

Due to backfiring sanctions, Russia certainly does have allies and has created a new G8 for good measure. Vyacheslav Volodin, head of the State Duma, stated the following:

“The economies of the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, and Canada continue to collapse under the pressure of sanctions against Russia.

The breakup of existing economic relations by Washington and its allies has led to the formation of new points of growth in the world.

The group of eight countries that do not take part in the sanctions wars – China, India, Russia, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Iran, Turkey – is 24.4 per cent ahead of the old group in terms of GDP per capita.”

Volodin said that the seven named countries are interested in developing “mutually beneficial relations with Russia,” and have already seen economic progress despite ongoing sanctions. Putin has also said that he would like to collaborate with emerging economies such as certain African nations that are “still sleeping, but about to wake up.”

The plan to divorce Russia from the world economy has backfired. Russia is increasing its international partnerships and trade as a direct result of the policies aimed at isolating it from the world.
