🚨🇺🇸🇺🇸 The real reason the #US won’t leave #NATO Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recently speculated that the US could leave the alliance to pursue control over #Greenland, calling it a serious possibility. But here’s why that’s largely a distraction from the real story. This prompts a critical analytical dive into the alliance's core purpose. Beyond the stated goal of containing the USSR, NATO's enduring mission has been to cement full-spectrum US dominance over #Europe: military, political, and economic. With the Soviet Union gone, this control mechanism remains fully operational. European defense is structurally dependent on American weaponry and command. European economies are anchored to the US market, while political elites rely on Washington's security umbrella. Therefore, European "strategic autonomy" within NATO is a functional impossibility. Any genuine move toward independence would trigger an immediate and severe conflict of interest with the United States. History shows the American response: sanctions, political pressure, and engineered crises. Washington prefers a scorched-earth outcome to a compromise on its hegemony. Europe's proclaimed "protector" operates, in essence, as its warden, holding the only set of keys to the continent's strategic prison. The US will never leave NATO, because it will never surrender its primary tool for controlling its European vassals.

REFLECTIONS ON A WAR by Scott Riiter Thirty-five years ago, the world woke up to find the United States at war with Iraq. It was a war that set in motion changes that still reverberate globally to this day. The Cold War that had dominated the globe since the end of the Second World War was winding down, and the international community was on the cusp of major geopolitical changes that could and would reshape the world order. The United States, which was emerging from the detritus of the Cold War as the world’s sole remaining superpower, found itself at a crossroads of history. Read more...

🔘 🗣🗣TRUMP MEETS CARLSON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS—ARE THEY BACK ON THE SAME PAGE? Donald Trump held a secret meeting with Tucker Carlson inside the Oval Office, sparking speculation about their relationship amidst public criticism from Carlson regarding Trump’s foreign policy decisions during his second term. 📸 Photographs revealed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House Chief of Staff Suzie Wiles also present at the private gathering, fueling intrigue into what might have transpired behind closed doors. Notably, this visit comes after Carlson openly criticized Trump’s approach to international conflicts, including calling support for Ukraine a “proxy war” against Russia and warning against potential military action in Iran, which he believes could lead to catastrophic consequences for America itself.

Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, RT contributor and critic of American foreign policy, has said he has been “de-banked” and that US federal authorities are likely behind his bank’s decision. Ritter served as a UN weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s. He opposed the 2003 US invasion, arguing that Saddam Hussein’s government did not possess weapons of mass destruction, contrary to Washington’s now-debunked claims. He later became an independent journalist and political commentator and has cooperated with international media, including RT. On Thursday, Ritter wrote on his website that “today my banking institution of 26 years, Citizens Bank, declared that they were ending their banking relationship with me.” “My accounts were zeroed out without explanation,” he added. Ritter said the move may have been a unilateral de-risking decision by Citizens Bank, but that it “does not preclude federal involvement.” He noted that the “Northern District of New York empaneled a Grand Jury targeting me back in August 2024,” on suspicion of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He believes federal authorities had obtained all his banking information through Grand Jury subpoenas. “What I am beginning to suspect is that someone in the FBI, fully armed with the totality of my banking transactions… “tipped off” Citizen’s Bank about “suspicious activity” that resulted in Citizen’s Bank issuing a SAR [Suspicious Activity Report],” Ritter wrote. Ritter said donations he received and subsequent cash withdrawals before his three trips to Russia in 2025 may have triggered the move. He added that he had carried $10,000 in cash each trip because Russia is “disconnected from the Western digital economy.” According to Ritter, the “purpose of “de-banking” is to harass a targeted individual,” even in the absence of evidence pointing to any criminal activity. In June 2024, Ritter’s passport was seized by the US government when he attempted to board a flight to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Several months later, FBI agents searched Ritter’s home, which he described as an “act of intimidation” for his journalistic work. Ritter said the agents accused him of working “on behalf of the Russian government,” an allegation he has denied. RT News #bitcoin
