NewsReal: New US National Strategy, the End of Global Hegemony, and Euro Delusions

"A pretty big turnaround," the Russian government called it. "Aligned with Russia," is how Atlanticist media is describing it. The updated US National Security Strategy is, on paper, something of a 'clean break' with the the United States' past . No longer seeking 'full-spectrum dominance' and stressing the impossibility of being 'policeman for the entire world', the US outlook on global affairs codifies Trump's vision of refocusing on 'the near-abroad', namely the Americas. It also...

NewsReal: Why Does Trump Want to Regime Change Venezuela?

If it's not really about the drugs, and if it's not really the socialism that bothers him, why is Trump preparing to launch yet another American regime change war against Venezuela?

Epstein continues looming large over Trump's second term, with The Epstein Files™ - and specifically the demand to publish them, combined with the efforts to selectively 'massage' and 'tailor' them - practically dictating the schedule and tempo of US domestic politics. Left and Right have come together to force their release, squeezing Trump in the middle, who wants everyone to forget all about them. Most assume that that's because...

NewsReal: Jan 6th Pipe-Bomber... Was a Female COP?

In a development that should surprise no one, a Blaze investigation has discovered the (probable) identity of the person placing the pipe-bombs around the US Capitol building on the eve of the January 6th "insurrection" - a female United States Capitol Police officer (who subsequently joined the CIA). The mainstream media will ignore this, as will the Feds will, but at least we're clear on one thing: the terrorists are those in government. Meanwhile, a year on since Trump's re-election,...
