AIPAC OWNS AND CONTROLS THE USA GOVERNMENT. 🛑🇺🇸 The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) wields immense power and influence over U.S. politics, shaping policies and decisions in favor of Israeli interests. This undue influence compromises the integrity of American democracy and prioritizes foreign interests over the needs and rights of American citizens. 💼💸

I had an opportunity to join the #BBC news on Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China and explained the likely outcome of the visit. Secretary of State Blinken carried with him four policy tools - trade sanctions, financial sanctions, tariffs, and military deterrence. These tools are counterintuitive to diplomacy. Improving peace conditions in every contentious region in the world is highly dependent upon effective diplomacy. However, a big dilemma we face today is that the tools deployed for diplomacy are not conducive to diplomacy. https://lnkd.in/ePviCYaj #China #Blinken #Chinageopolitics #BBC #Shirleyzeyu

https://lnkd.in/ecyMrB_y Canadian PM, scandal after scandal after scandal. Wake up Canada. How much further can he drag us down? He has praised China on numerous occasions. Communist China. Ask yourself why. He admires communism? Look at how he is running our country. Creating new ministries for what? To cover and control every aspect of every industry with ridiculous unreasonable, unjust guidelines and restrictions imposed in each? He is not opening up the country to prosper, he is shutting it down. For what? To have ultimate control over everyone and the entire country? That is not democratic, just nor tolerable. That is dictatorship. That is communism.

Our #Diplomat of North America has expressed concerns with The White House and U.S. Department of State about the poor representation in the #WesternHemisphere. Knights of Malta (US) Sovereign State. Federation of Autonomous Priories of St.John Grand Prior has provided details about China’s perceived development but, in reality seem to be colonization with the coverstory for developing underserved. We cannot find such programs and details of successful projects. United Nations European Commission cannot be blinded by China’s aggressive foregin policy all the while threatening Taiwan, Japan, Phillippines and others. #Xi has not progressed China rather, their economy, credit markets and currencies are not that great. Thousands are fleeing China to EU and USA. Why? https://lnkd.in/dhWwptxA

If modern history is any guide, political upheaval in Europe will eventually ripple through Asia, destabilizing its security and stability, as well attested by both world wars in the last century. https://lnkd.in/gYMeeSru

📢 EU values-based diplomacy still needed This is the key message that came out of our recent roundtable with the Samir Kassir Foundation. Participants argued that EU diplomacy must continue to stand up for the safety of citizens and freedom of expression violated by authoritarian partner governments and warned of the mismatch between expertise on the ground and decisions taken at the EU level. ❝The EU remains one of the last values-based principled bastions upholding rule of law through international diplomacy. As long as Europe can have engagement with other regions and work to protect freedom of expression, it must stay engaged,❞ one participant argued. ➡️ Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/ePQaQd4E #FoEDebate #EYL40 #RenewedSocialContract

𝐂𝐔𝐁𝐀 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐅: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐚 The Wall Street Journal recently published several revelations regarding Chinese spying operations targeting the United States from Cuba, as well as the impending construction of a Chinese military base on the island, which sits just over ninety miles from the United States’ coastline. These reports have thrust Cuba back into the center of our national political discourse and have catalyzed a new call for United States’ re-engagement with Cuba. The members of this movement (foreign policy scholars, elected officials, and lobbyists of various stripes) justify their demands by promulgating the notion that a U.S. détente with Cuba would serve as an effective counterbalance to increasing Chinese influence on the island. This idea is not new; America’s enemies have had a strong presence in Cuba since Fidel Castro seized control of the island on Jan. 1, 1959, through a violent revolution, and interested parties in the United States have been insisting upon the adoption of a soft foreign policy towards the brutal dictatorship for just as long. However, this argument for rapprochement rests upon the belief that the United States’ efforts at accommodation would be matched in-kind, and that greater cooperation will eventually lead to a growth of U.S. influence on the island — which couldn’t be more wrong. The United States has been down this road before and the resulting historical record couldn’t be more harrowing. Read Full Article @: https://lnkd.in/gh5Cg2vd

In the North Macedonian dilemma, Greece doesn’t need help, it needs experienced politicians dedicated to realpolitik. North Macedonia can become an EU member, which as a result will bear economic and political gains for the country. Greece can be a part of that and demonstrate its ability to resolve situations diplomatically and peacefully. However, the populist revisionist voices coming from both states cannot help resolve the problem.
