Glazyev on the new world order: The West is collapsing, Russia still has a chance to become part of the East
Russia’s top economist wants Russia divorced from the West, which has rejected Russia anyway. The US will eat the consequences of hegemony, neo-colonialism, economic/social inequality, endless war.
Excerpt
At the international level, priority is given not to dictates, but to equal partnership. Glazyev believes that this is the key difference from the current globalism:
In the new system, both sides win - it’s mutually beneficial cooperation. The center of gravity shifts towards joint investments and respect for national sovereignty. This is not a rigid management model, as in the past, but a polycentric structure that allows for a variety of approaches.

Glazyev on the new world order: The West is collapsing, Russia still has a chance to become part of the East
Sergey Glazyev spoke about the new world order that is coming right now. The West as the international center is collapsing, and Russia still has a chance to become part of the East, to where the core of development is shifting.
The Western world is losing ground in the global economy, and in the coming years the center of development will ultimately shift to Asia. This opinion was expressed by Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Glazyev at the "Forum of the Future 2050".
According to him, a new world economic order is being formed before our eyes, with China and India becoming the core, and Russia still has a chance to integrate into this process:
We see a strengthening core of the Asian capital accumulation cycle. Today it is bipolar - China and India. But Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union still have a chance to become part of this core. At the same time, the American cycle of capital accumulation, which includes the United States and the European Union, is shrinking.
According to Glazyev's forecasts, by the end of the current decade, Asia will become the new world leader in terms of accumulated capital. And it is not only the scale of the economy, but also the systemic approach to management.
The peculiarity of the new world economic system is that it combines strategic planning with market competition. The state controls money circulation and directs resources to investment in development. At the same time, private capital is not isolated, but, on the contrary, stimulated, but with the the public good having priority over personal gain. This is a system that can well be called socialist in its essence, the expert explained.
He emphasized that in the new economic conditions, the key role is played not by making a profit at any cost, but by raising the general standard of living:
In both China and India, conditions are being created under which business is obliged to develop in the interests of the whole society. This excludes speculation, profiteering from crises, and stratification. The state acts as an integrator, uniting the interests of different social groups for the sake of a single goal - the growth of public welfare.
At the international level, priority is given not to dictates, but to equal partnership. Glazyev believes this is the key difference from the current globalism:
In the new system, both sides win - this is mutually beneficial cooperation. The center of gravity shifts towards joint investments and respect for national sovereignty. This is not a rigid management model, as in the past, but a polycentric structure that allows for a variety of approaches.
The RAS academician concluded that Russia, taking advantage of the emerging opportunities, can strengthen its position and become part of the emerging economic core of the East.

The Guardian: Netanyahu's Attack on Iran Could Exacerbate His Crisis
Netanyahu Made a Strategic Mistake by Attacking Iran
In the Israeli-American aggression against Iran, the focus has been on targeting scientific and military minds linked to the Iranian nuclear program. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu believes that "Iran's possession of a nuclear weapon poses an existential threat to Israel" [He has been saying this for decades]. In an article published by The Guardian and translated by the Al-Khanadaq website, the author argues that this war is the result of Netanyahu's fear for his existence, and that military action is the only option to preserve it. The article also highlights Netanyahu's view of the recent indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States, and that this attack could be a preemptive attempt to thwart any negotiated settlement, even if it is sponsored by the current Trump administration [Since
Bibi really believes Trump is thwarting him, Trump could be in mortal danger]. The article also examines the potential consequences of the aggression, warning that despite the "success in assassinating key figures," Iranian nuclear facilities, such as Natanz and Fordow, remain beyond the reach of conventional strikes, making the prospects of preventing Iran from continuing its nuclear program uncertain. On the contrary, this operation may strengthen Iran's and its allies' conviction that possessing a nuclear weapon is the only guarantee of protection. Thus, the article presents the Israeli-American aggression against Iran as a move fraught with potentially counterproductive strategic consequences.
Translated text:
Israel has eliminated many of the masterminds of Iran's nuclear program, but don't expect the Iranian regime to back down.
Benjamin Netanyahu has been restless for years. He has always believed that a nuclear Iran poses the only real existential threat to him, and that military force is the only sure way to prevent it. Over the years of his prime ministership, a comprehensive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities was repeatedly considered, and discussions and plans were made in this direction until it finally happened. Netanyahu will be satisfied with the initial results, which include the "elimination" of prominent Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists. But the final results could be quite different. By doing so, he may have accelerated the very danger he has long feared.
As for the precise timing of the attack, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provided the information on Thursday, claiming that Iran had "violated its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" for the first time in nearly twenty years. [The agency’s decision is not a reflection of reality. It reflects only the US-Israeli pressure on the agency. If the agency were honest and sincere, it would admit that Israel, with its estimated 200 undeclared nukes and its belligerence toward Palestine and nations that refuse to recognize Israel, is the real threat to the world] Israel considered this an additional justification, if not a direct pretext, for military action.
Perhaps the most significant factor in Netanyahu's calculations was the meeting scheduled for Sunday in Oman between Donald Trump and Iranian officials. Netanyahu apparently feared that this meeting would lead to a major diplomatic breakthrough, potentially resulting in an agreement similar to the one signed under Barack Obama a decade ago. Such an agreement would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium under terms acceptable to Washington but unacceptable to Israel. In 2018, Netanyahu succeeded in convincing Trump to withdraw from the nuclear agreement concluded by the Obama administration. But a return to a new nuclear agreement bearing the same Trump signature had to be prevented by any means necessary. [Observers have theorized that JFK was assassinated by Mossad because he objected to Israel’s development of the nuclear bomb. If this theory is correct, then Trump is skating on thin ice by disagreeing with Bibi]
Here we come to the most important question about the timing of this Israeli move: Was it a wise decision? Some will argue that Israel miscalculated, and that some Arab states that quietly supported it against Iran last year may hesitate to do the same now. But there are those who suggest that the strike, especially targeting several key figures, will not achieve its primary goal: preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. The IAEA has confirmed that the Natanz facility was hit, but analysts point out that the vital parts of that facility are buried deep underground, beyond the range of Israel's conventional firepower. The same applies to the Fordow site, which is located inside a mountain. These sites require American-style bunker-buster bombs, and even these may not be sufficient.
But there is a less tangible reason why Operation Rising Lion ultimately appears futile. It is almost certain that Iran's hardliners will not back down from their pursuit of a nuclear weapon; rather, they will become more determined. They have learned what might be called the "North Korea lesson": after the invasion of Iraq, Libya decided to abandon its nuclear program. A few years later, Muammar Gaddafi was found dead in a grave. North Korea, by contrast, chose the opposite path, keeping its nuclear weapons untouched. This logic is grim, but it works, and it seems to be firmly entrenched in Tehran. Evidence of this is the official Iranian statement today: "Now, the world is better aware of Iran's insistence on its right to enrichment, nuclear technology, and missile capabilities." Such a statement clearly expresses a redoubling of the bet, not a retreat.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces did not expect this. The Russians "brazenly and aggressively" advanced tens of kilometers in a matter of hours. The front collapsed
The breakthrough on the Donetsk front came as a surprise to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Our soldiers advanced tens of kilometers "brazenly and aggressively." The defense line collapsed, and the enemy army retreated, abandoning its equipment and NATO weapons. The front collapsed.
There was a serious turning point in the Donetsk direction. The Ukrainian defense collapsed along a section about 40 kilometers long. Units of the Russian Armed Forces, operating as part of the "Center" group, forced the enemy out of their positions in a rush - they acted quickly, harshly, with pressure. According to a soldier of the 39th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade with the call sign "Lek", the front of the Ukrainian army servicemen collapsed.
We are moving from Malinovka to the north, the soldier specified.
The offensive was conducted on a broad front. Motorized groups, armored vehicles, and assault squads of five to six people were used. It was these mobile groups that entered populated areas from an unexpected direction, "brazenly and aggressively," as "Lek" noted in a conversation with RIA Novosti. The Ukrainian Armed Forces apparently did not expect such pressure and retreated.
The key episode was the storming of Malinovka (until 2016 - Ulyanovka). Russian troops entered the village with a fight. According to a fighter with the call sign "Kent", the initial task was to take a stronghold in the village, located on a large farm. There were three or four firing points that needed to be destroyed.
The work was at its limit: small groups moved 10-20 meters, clearing houses one after another. The enemy tried to resist the onslaught, but it did not help: the Ukrainian Armed Forces units began to retreat, abandoning equipment, weapons, and even Western drones.
The commander of the assault group with the call sign "Khimik" told kp.ru how disorganized the enemy's retreat was:
My group drove through the enemy on an MTLB [light-armored multipurpose transporter-tractor]. We drove into the village and started working in pairs. We cleared it out. The enemy is running. Retreating to its rear lines. Abandoning equipment, drones.
It is interesting that the weather played into the hands of our fighters. On the day of the assault there was thick fog, thanks to which it was possible to hide from the Ukrainian drones.
According to the participants, it was possible to avoid particularly violent clashes. The Ukrainian Armed Forces preferred a night retreat, but some of the fighters were still killed during the cleanup, and some were taken prisoner. In Malinovka itself, our soldiers found trophies: NATO equipment, ammunition and medicine depots, Western-made products.
According to "Lek", the movement to the north continues, and the target is clearly defined: Kramatorsk. The 40-kilometer breakthrough in a matter of hours has probably become one of the most significant operations of recent months. And most importantly, it turned out to be a complete surprise for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Our thanks to our French friend Joelle:
Interview with Drago Bosnic: “Operation Spiderweb.” The US-NATO Sponsored Drone Attack Against Russia’s “Nuclear Triad” Strategic Air Force. “Russia’s Pearl Harbor”
“Mass media across the world were flooded with information on “brilliant” Kiev regime operatives who “humiliated” Russia by supposedly “destroying 34% of its strategic aviation.”
However, the satellite imagery released in the aftermath of the attack showed that the damage, albeit significant, was still nowhere near the claims of the Kiev regime.
Still, this sabotage opened the Pandora’s box, which could lead to escalation. The Russian military is already enacting retribution.” (See Drago Bosnic’s detailed article)
Trump had a 75 minute telephone conversation with Putin. Was this drone attack targeting Russia’s strategic Air Force authorized by the White House?
“We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides,”
“President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”
The New York Times confirms that the CIA, “secretly helps Ukraine fight Putin.

The following report relates partly to battlefield and partly to air strikes: I earlier saw a commentary on Russia written by a typical western Russophobe. This author admitted that Russia was not losing, but couldn’t quite bring him/herself to admit that Russia is winning hands down. If you’re reading this and other objective war-related sites, you know the score!
