I was baking today! Chocolate Chip cookies for the Grandson at Christmas! Will probably do peanut butter as well. And yah, he’ll have to share with his parents 🙂
Baking is time for listening.
First up Jeff Rich at Burning Archive- The alternative Ukraine peace plan to Trump’s Flop
Isn’t it time someone proposed a serious peace plan to end the war in Ukraine? To bring lasting peace for all? Ignore Trump, the EU and the alt-media. I have a 7-point plan that might just work.
Mr Rich has put a great deal of thought into making a more workable, plausible and more likely to lead to peace plan. Give it a listen!
2nd interview- The New Atlas, Brian Berletic: DEEP DIVE: New US “National Security Strategy” is Repackaged Wolfowitz Doctrine
- The recently release 2025 US National Security Strategy is being misrepresented as a “shift” in US foreign policy, with claims the paper does not cite Russia or China as major threats and instead seeks to focus on the Western Hemisphere;
- However, the entire paper is a blueprint for not only continued confrontation with both Russia and China (as well as Iran and beyond), it seeks to enlist and expand what it calls a “burden sharing network” to do so;
- While the paper doesn’t name Russia and China directly, it constantly refers to taking actions against “adversaries” obviously meaning both Russia and China;
- The paper is an updated continuation of the post-Cold War “Wolfowitz Doctrine” through which the US seeks to maintain global primacy while preventing the mergence of any rival or bloc of rivals;
Yes, it is!
I did a few reports on the Wolfowitz Doctrine at the old site. I don’t have the time to dig through there today, so am including a news report from the New York Times when this US strategy came into being
The classified document makes the case for a world dominated by one superpower whose position can be perpetuated by constructive behavior and sufficient military might to deter any nation or group of nations from challenging American primacy.
Rejecting Collective Approach
To perpetuate this role, the United States “must sufficiently account for the interests of the advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order,” the document states.
