Western media is calling an indiscriminate Israeli terrorist attack across Lebanon that has killed several, including at least one child and injured thousands, “unprecedented” and “sophisticated”. Yet nothing about the attack, which reportedly involved 5,000 pagers rigged with remotely detonated explosives before distribution, was unpredictable or unpreventable.Latest Lebanon Pager Terrorist Attack Predictable, Preventable

US Seeks “Super Weapons” to Reign as Sole Superpower
– The US realizes its window of opportunity following the Cold War to assert itself as sole global superpower is closing (if it hasn’t closed already);
– It seeks to find a way to match or exceed the military capabilities and industrial capacity of both Russia and China through “innovation;”
– The US refuses to recognize the fundamental flaws in its own system as well as the premise upon which it seeks primacy in the first place;
– Start-up companies seeking to out-innovate and/or out-produce China propose unrealistic measures that either won’t work or that China is already employing itself on a much larger scale;

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has recently claimed the US is not “looking for a crisis.”This is said, of course, with an important caveat – no crisis is sought as long as China subordinates itself to the United States.

US Seeks “Super Weapons” to Reign as Sole Superpower
The US openly declares that it seeks to maintain a monopoly over shaping the “international order” following the Cold War and America’s emergence from it as the sole superpower.

China’s Naval Power Surpasses US – US Geopolitical Reach Exceeds its Industrial Grasp
Kursk: Fighting Russia to the Last Ukrainian
In the lead up to the Ukrainian military’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, even Western headlines were dominated by reports of Ukraine’s gradual demise. Ukraine is admittedly suffering arms and ammunition shortages, as well as facing an unsolvable manpower crisis. Russia has been destroying Ukrainian military power faster than Ukraine and its Western sponsors can reconstitute it.
US geopolitical reach exceeds its industrial grasp
By Brian Berletic
In order to contain China, the US must maintain military and economic primacy over China. Nevertheless, its ability to do this has come into question in recent years due to the continual rise and growing strength of China, and the demonstrated growing weakness of the US itself.
What’s Behind Regime Change in Bangladesh
Violent regime change in the South Asian country of Bangladesh unfolded rapidly and mostly by stealth as the rest of the world focused on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, growing tensions in the Middle East and a simmering confrontation between the US and China in the Asia-Pacific region.

There is a problem, fundamentally, in viewing the regime change in Bangladesh as a ‘stand-alone’ event. The caveat must be added right at the outset that when it comes to processing situations, nothing happens for no reason at all. There is very little awareness in India, especially in the media, about what has been going on. Mostly, it’s ‘cut-and-paste’ job culled out from the jaundiced western accounts from a new Cold War angle.
