From shooting down a Chinese weather balloon allegedly used for spying purposes to boosting arms sales to Taiwan and ordering Beijing not to provide lethal weapons to Russia, the Biden Administration’s threats against China have gone over the top. As a result, Beijing is dropping its traditional diplomatic reserve. On Feb. 20, just one day before releasing its Global Security […]

The more the West insists on imposing its “rules-based order” and war policy on the entire world, the faster resistance is growing, not only in the superpowers of China and Russia, but especially in what is known as the “Global South”. That reality can no longer be ignored, even by certain bulwarks of the western establishment. To give just a […]

China released on Feb. 24 its proposal for solving the conflict in Ukraine, which had been announced by top diplomat Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference and discussed with various leaders during his trip to Europe (cf. SAS 8/23). The short 12-point document, titled China’s Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis, presents a serious alternative to […]

From the United States, President Biden quickly dismissed Beijing’s initiative out of hand, calling it a “non-starter” and implying that it only benefits Russia! The idea that China could negotiate the outcome of a war is “totally irrational”, he stated. EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell also rejected the plan, calling it a “document of intentions, where Beijing outlines all […]

Two events sponsored by the Schiller Institute (SI) last week provided a powerful dose of truth aimed at breaking the wall of containment constructed by the U.S./NATO hybrid warriors. Coming as large cracks in the official “narrative” are opening, these dialogues are fueling the building of an anti-war movement which can defeat the plans to engage in permanent warfare against […]

While NATO propaganda insists that Russia is not winning the war in Ukraine and that Kiev will be able to defeat the Russian army provided it is supplied enough weapons, intelligence agencies know that the reality is quite different. At the weekly “Manhattan project dialogue” on Feb. 18, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern likened the situation to the eve of […]

A two-faced Munich is one way to describe the events of last weekend in the Bavarian capital. On the one side, was the Munich Security Conference (MSC), marked by wild ravings for more war against Russia and by just as wild praise for NATO. On the other, was the impressive rally for peace that took place on Feb. 19 on […]

This year’s annual meeting of the Munich Security Conference (Feb. 17-19) totally abandoned its long-time claim of serving as a forum for dialogue with Russia, by simply not inviting any Russian officials, for the first time ever. This move also reflects the transition of the MSC chairmanship from Wolfgang Ischinger to Christoph Heusgen, an unbridled NATO utopian (cf. SAS 51/14). […]

In his speech at the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 18, Chinese State Councillor Wang Yi, now the director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC, announced that Beijing would soon release a document setting out its position on resolving the Ukraine crisis through a political settlement, as well as a broader Global Security Initiative concept […]

The new document was made public on Feb. 21, the same day that U.S. President Biden gave an aggressive speech in Warsaw, Poland, and Russian President Putin delivered his annual Presidential address to the country’s Federation Assembly. Calling the current period “an era rife with challenges”, it states that the “Cold War mentality, unilateralism, bloc confrontation and hegemonism” must be […]
