A recent op-ed appearing in Foreign Affairs titled, “The Taiwan Catastrophe,” helps paint a clear picture of US motivations behind its growing confrontation with China and the increasingly unrealistic nature of Washington’s desired outcome.

The Axis of Asymmetry takes on the ‘rules-based order’
The Axis of Asymmetry is in full swing. These are the state and non-state actors employing asymmetrical moves on the global chessboard to sideline the US-led western rules-based order. And its vanguard is the Yemeni resistance movement Ansarallah.

Watch: Who killed Navalny? Question revisited on ‘Redacted’
The visitor ‘pull’ of the interview channel ‘Redacted’ moderated by Natali Morris may not match that of Tucker Carlson, but perhaps it comes in second or third, with 2.31 million subscribers. Accordingly, an invitation to join Natali online is a very welcome means of bringing some novel and perhaps penetrating analysis to a very broad global public stretching from the USA to New Zealand.

To Be a Socialist One Must Be an Anti-Imperialist
Since the writing of The Communist Manifesto and the founding of the First International, proletarian internationalism has been a cornerstone of scientific socialism, and is a pillar of Marxism-Leninism. Today, in the era of imperialism, putting genuine proletarian internationalism into practice demands that we be consistent anti-imperialists.

Is the Philippines becoming a US ‘proxy’ against Beijing in the South China Sea?

‘The ants that get trampled on’
Not everyone agrees with drawing closer to the US, however, and they warn about the Philippines turning into a “proxy” for American interests. The president’s own sister Imee, a senator, told ANC Digital earlier this month that “China will always be our neighbour, we have no fight with them, let’s not get dragged into a fight that’s not our own.”
Anna Rosario Malindog-Uy, director of the pro-China Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, wrote in the Manila Times on February 10 that “agreements such as the EDCA, the VFA and the Mutual Defence Treaty have not only cemented the US military presence and influence in the Philippines but also, most importantly, exemplified the Philippines’ dependence on the US in the military and defence sector.”
Teresita Ang See, former president of the Philippine Association for Chinese Studies and currently part of its advisory council, told This Week in Asia: “Filipinos in general condemn China’s action. But many also understand that China’s assertiveness is in response to US, Japanese and Australian provocations and increasing military presence in the Philippines.”
She warned that “we are fighting a proxy war between the US and China and in the end we will be the ants that get trampled upon”.

Philippines: US moving to protect their Puppet BBM, says China is trying to destabilize him thru Duterte + China Challenged
US moving to protect their Puppet BBM, says China is trying to destabilize him thru Duterte
The comparison between Zelensky and BBM is very appropriate, not only are they suspected to be both Cocaine Addicts, but they are also now Puppets of the US who are willing to sacrifice their Country in War for the sake of serving the Interests of the US.

Vietnamese Poachers using Cyanide and Dynamite Fishing in the Philippines’ EEZ
Vietnamese Poachers using Cyanide and Dynamite Fishing in the Philippines’ EEZ
The Groups said that Vietnamese Poachers are conducting Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Philippines. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) are reportedly in the Area but are not going after the Vietnamese Poachers.
These Poachers are also reportedly using Cyanide and Dynamite when fishing that is causing irreparable Damage to the Environment and adversely affect the catch of Philippine Fisherfolk.
For me the biggest Question to ask here is why are the Philippine Press, Government Agencies and Lawmakers constantly complaining about China doing this or doing that within our EEZ, but when it is Vietnamese Poachers doing the same or even worse they are so quiet about it?
Bongbong is just a puppet of the US.

Vladimir Lenin and Che Guevara on monopoly capitalism + Milei the Tool for US imperialism
For some reason, these quotes made me think of Milei, at the World Economic Forum. On another note, I still have to read “The Che Reader”. I found his quote through Wikipedia. As for “The State and Revolution”, I’m 60% finished.
Ever since monopoly capital took over the world, it has kept the greater part of humanity in poverty, dividing all the profits among the group of the most powerful countries. The standard of living in those countries is based on the extreme poverty of our countries. To raise the living standards of the underdeveloped nations, therefore, we must fight against imperialism. And each time a country is torn away from the imperialist tree, it is not only a partial battle won against the main enemy but it also contributes to the real weakening of that enemy, and is one more step toward the final victory. There are no borders in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, because a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory, just as any country’s defeat is a defeat for all of us. The practice of proletarian internationalism is not only a duty for the peoples struggling for a better future, it is also an inescapable necessity.
Che Guevara, The Che Reader
With duplicity, the Philippines hot-headedly positions itself as the US’ cannon fodder + More
What does the Philippines want – a stable and conducive environment for its peaceful development, or to be trapped in the unpredictable game of geopolitics? Recently, the country’s actions and words have been filled with duplicity and complexity, but the trend is discernible – the Philippines is hot-headedly positioning itself as a vanguard, bridgehead, and even cannon fodder for the US.
