(RAD: WOW, this is the most wide ranging & insightful history lesson you will ever get in such a short time & it helps us understand the many complex divisive issues in the world. Ben Norton has an in-depth understanding & knowledge of the US foreign policy as it applies to the world.

Trump campaigned as a 'peace' president, yet it has become obvious that this is not the direction the US is going. Changing the 'Department of Defense' to the 'Department of War' is very indicative of his direction. He is very upset that the $dollar is losing its reserve currency status in global trade. Over 95% of trade between Russia & China is now done with local currencies. More & more nations are bypassing the $dollar to trade in their local currencies.

The US has terrorized South America non-stop for many decades. The current conflict with Venezuela has nothing to do with narcotics, even though that is what the US is saying. The US has been trying to overthrow their government for a long time & this is just another attempt. The US is not focused on peace, but wants other nations to bow to its demands. This list is very long.

Trump is following imperial hegemonic strategies to try and save the $dollar as the world's reserve currency, yet this is failing, especially among the BRICS nations. His constant threats & high tariffs are accelerating this trend. We saw Putin, Xi & Modi cooperating recently in China. Although this isn't really taught in US schools, it is important to understand how much China suffered in WW2 from Japan's invasion. Both China & Russia lost 10's of millions of people in WW2, whereas the US lost only a few hundred thousand. The 'Victory Parade' in China was a huge deal for the Chinese people. Their massive display of advanced weapons was a warning to the US. All of the military simulations of the US going to war with China have shown that the US would lose. The US can't win a war with China, although that isn't stopping the US from wanting to destroy China.

Russia, Mongolia, and China signed a 30-year binding agreement to build the Power of Siberia 2 Pipeline that will now divert Russian gas from Europe to China, which will further cripple Europe's manufacturing. According to the analysis of Seymour Hersh, the US was directly involved in blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline. — RAD)
