🇺🇸 The Russians offered to end the war through negotiations for years, but the Americans and British did not allow it - ex-US State Department official Matthew Ho

📝 “The Russians are offering terms, they are offering the opportunity to end this war through negotiations. They've been doing this for years. The Americans and British kept the Ukrainians from doing this.

I'm not even sure how much Ukrainians really want this under the leadership of this maniacal and confused Zelensky. But what he is doing is putting Ukraine in the West in a position where the outcome will be much worse than what they could get now.

Especially than what they could get last year, two or three years ago,” Ho said.

⚡The Crimean bridge accounts for less than a quarter of the total transiting cargo, and for the rest, Russia uses a ferry crossing in Kerch, which the Ukrainian military struck in late May, Pletenchuk said.

"Therefore, this bridge is no longer of such tactical and strategic importance after the damage it sustained as a result of a joint operation by the SBU (Ukraine's Security Service) and the Navy with a drone attack," the spokesperson said.

An analysis of satellite imagery by investigative group Molfar, shared with The Independent in May, showed that over a three-month period this year, only one military freight train carrying around 55 fuel cars crossed the bridge.

A summary of the full speech Russia gave one day before the peace summit in Switzerland gives an introduction to what is to come.

1. A new multilateral organization replacing the UN, WTO, ICC, Interpol, SWIFT, etc will be established. Plans and works are already in progress, and the upcoming BRIC summit later this year will confirm it.

2. A new payment system that falls outside the control of the West will be created. The new payment system will not be unilateral since it will be jointly instituted by BRICS.

3. A new global security architecture that considers the interests and security of all parties will be established. The world should not be divided into blocs and confrontation.

4. A complete pivot from the west to the east and the global south. Russia is securing its position as the pacemaker for the emergence of the global south and has completely lost interest in working with the West on an unfair basis.

5. A new security architecture for the Eurasian continent will be established, and European countries will be free to join, free from the dictate and control of external powers, such as the US through NATO.

6. Putin mourns the quality of current EU leaders, implying their puppet status to Washington, and how they were different from 19th-century leaders such as Charles de Gaulle and Helmut Kohl, who understood that prosperity in Europe means a good relationship with Russia.

7. He pointed out that the theft of Russia's funds will not go unpunished, and no matter how they twist the legal facts to claim it, it's still stealing.

8. He mentioned how the West through IMF and their sister institutions has restricted the growth and development of the global south, and how they have created barriers and rules for others to follow, which they do not practice themselves.

9. He laid out conditions for peace in Ukraine, which are the neutrality of Ukraine, the ceding of the four regions to Russia, and recognizing the minority rights of ethnic Russians.

10. He also blames NATO and the West for the conflicts, how they have broken every agreement and premise they had with the USSR and Russia, ignored the Minsk agreement to buy time to fight Russia, and how the US abandoned agreements that kept the world safe.

De-dollarization of the world economy continues

"The financial world is bracing for a significant upheaval following Saudi Arabia's decision not to renew its 50-year petro-dollar deal with the United States, which expired on Sunday, 9 June, 2024."

The lapsed security agreement - signed by the United States and Saudi Arabia on 8 June 1974 - establishes two joint commissions, one on economic co-operation and the other on Saudi Arabia's military needs, and was said to have heralded an era of increasingly close co-operation between the two countries.

American officials at the time expressed optimism that the deal would motivate Saudi Arabia to ramp up its oil production. They also envisioned it as a blueprint for fostering economic collaboration between Washington and other Arab countries.

The crucial decision to not renew the contract enables Saudi Arabia to sell oil and other goods in multiple currencies, including the Chinese RMB, Euros, Yen, and Yuan, instead of exclusively in US dollars. Additionally, the potential use of digital currencies like Bitcoin may also be considered.

This latest development signifies a major shift away from the petrodollar system established in 1972, when the US decoupled its currency from gold, and is anticipated to hasten the global shift away from the US dollar.

Cross-border CBDC transactions

In a more recent move, Saudi Arabia has announced its involvement in Project mBridge, a project which explores a multi-central bank digital currency (CBDC) platform shared among participating central banks and commercial banks. It is built on distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable instant cross-border payments settlements, and foreign-exchange transactions.

The project has more than 26 observing members including the South African Reserve Bank, which was greenlighted as a member this month.

The better known observing members of mBridge are those of the Bank of Israel, Bank of Namibia, Bank of France, Central Bank of Bahrain, Central Bank of Egypt, Central Bank of Jordan, European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Reserve Bank of Australia, and the World Bank.

In tandem, the project steering committee has created a bespoke governance and legal framework, including a rulebook, tailored to match the platform's unique decentralised nature.

Evolution of Project mBridge

Project mBridge is the result of extensive collaboration starting in 2021 between the BIS Innovation Hub, the Bank of Thailand, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, the Digital Currency Institute of the People's Bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

In 2022, a pilot with real-value transactions was conducted. Since then, the mBridge project team has been exploring whether the prototype platform could evolve to become a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – a stage now reached.

As it enters the MVP stage, Project mBridge is now inviting private-sector firms to propose new solutions and use cases that could help develop the platform and showcase all its potential.

This is huge. The US-Saudi agreement was called JECOR. It was signed 8 June 1974 and had been renewed in 5-year increments — until now.

Even though the KSA has been accepting payment for oil in other currencies for years now but the value was still based on that currency’s conversion to the dollar. Now the value will be negotiated and set in that currency regardless of its fluctuations against the dollar

Another Dunce. China is greater than US and Europe combined. Obedience4 come and see oo. The lamest shit have read all year long on the internet.

FYI China addresses itself as a developing country so as to get the benefits meant for those countries and also not to take on so much responsibilities. For instance Fighting Climate Change. But what does a dunce knows??

I was surprised to find out that North Korea has the 4th largest submarine fleet in the world. There's literally no pictures of their Navy on the internet.

Until last year when they published photos of their Destroyer ships and long range drones, i was beyond shocked.

They also possess some of the best hackers in the world.

You can't have all that if you're still stuck in the stone age like the west says they are.
