i see this post as a short list of the many things the empire has done out of arrogance and the price for it;

On Tuesday (Nov. 22), during a an emergency virtual BRICS meeting Putin declared that US unilateralism has wrecked all chances of peace in the Middle East. The statement was made with the support of China, BRICS nation supporters, the Arab world and much of the Global South.

The following day a temporary cease-fire was brokered. A month after a UN General Assembly meeting voted on a Humanitarian truce, a week after the UN instructed the need for Humanitarian Pauses and 12 hours after a Russian President explained that the US is destroying peace; the bullets will stop for increments of 24 hours. The accusation was that the US was killing people and destroying all options on peace by monopolizing diplomacy for their own interests. Putin’s timing, audience and framing for this statement were that of a master chess player. Its moves like these that have left Biden looking more confused and bewildered than ever.

Securing the Destruction of the US - Saudi Relationship

The Biden administration was trying to broker the Israeli / Saudi peace deal to bring the Saudi’s back to the Western side of the table after a disastrous destruction of the US-Saudi economic support system. At the beginning of his campaign for president, Biden failed to recognize the potential power Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon was amassing and the new position that Saudi was taking in the world. Biden’s understanding of his mistake and the resulting claw-back mission over the course of the last nine months has been a heroic but transparent effort. Progress was being slowly made but not everyone was happy about it. It has been speculated that Iran wanted to make sure that the bonds stayed broken between the US and Saudi enough for them to have served as the intelligence behind the Hamas attacks of October 7th. The attacks and the US response to those attacks formally ended all peace negotiations between Saudi and Israel and turned MBS back into a free agent with minimal ties binding him to the US. Putin’s declaration has skillfully insured that this status is more likely to stick and all he had to do was wait patiently and grab the microphone at the right time.
