BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) held a summit this week in Johannesburg, as six new members were invited to join the emerging economic partnership: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Characterizing the expansion of cooperating nations “historic,” Chinese President Xi Jinping said, “The expansion is also a new starting point for BRICS cooperation. It will bring new vigour to the BRICS cooperation mechanism and further strengthen the force for world peace and development.”
Failed U.S. foreign policy of sanctions and endless warfare has helped to spur the collaboration of BRICS nations to challenge the U.S. dollar and form alternative partnerships to counter Western dominance. Calls by BRICS members for an “inclusive and prosperous global order” underscore the foundation of UN Agenda 2030.
While U.S. leadership has been waging domestic and foreign wars for decades, economic and military partnerships are forming that are changing the global landscape.
What is urgently needed besides U.S. elected public servants upholding their Oaths of Office, is greater public involvement in policy-making, effective statesmanship, and strategies that are firmly rooted in freedom and opportunity for all, the original Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
August 16, 2023 | The DOD announced plans to send $200 MILLION in weapons for Zelensky’s quagmire.
The DC war machine has stolen over $43.7 BILLION from Americans for Biden’s proxy war against Russia since he took office. Mr. Biden is reportedly seeking an additional $24 BILLION for Ukraine and other international “needs.”
Even though public support for war is lacking, both parties in Congress have failed to audit Ukraine aid and instead continue to drain America’s economy to prolong Zelensky’s lost cause.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), a co-chair of the congressional Ukraine Caucus, said this week that he’s not sure if the Ukraine war is “winnable” and called for the US to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to pursue peace talks:

Chinese and Russian ships were reported to be operating in international waters near Alaska this week as geopolitical tensions have increased.
The failure of Congress and the Biden administration to engage in diplomatic negotiations and instead increase finance and support for Zelensky’s quagmire, is creating harsh consequences for American economic and national security interests at home.
Additionally, wildfires in Hawaii and open border policies are urgent matters of national security that must be prioritized and addressed instead of funding endless war in Ukraine.
“It’s the best money we ever spent” said Lindsay Graham yesterday to Mr. Zelensky as he promised more money from American taxpayers for the bipartisan Biden-quagmire in Ukraine.
Should Mr. Graham, Mr. Zelensky and Congress members who voted to fund the war be required to pay Americans their money back (with interest)?
After all, Americans did not consent to financing Zelensky’s war – the American people want negotiations and an end to the violence.
As DC politicians such as Lindsay Graham and AOC continue to escalate proxy war with Russia, American public support for Zelensky’s endless war and NATO expansion is virtually non-existent.
What’s needed is a cease fire and immediate diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the conflict.
“I like the structural path we’re on here. As long as we help Ukraine with the weapons they need and economic support, they will fight till the last person.”
Instead of working to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible, the Biden administration is working hard to continue the conflict as long as possible.
As DC’s war policy continues to nosedive, China’s President Jinping has started efforts to lead negotiations, with a “long and meaningful” discussion yesterday with Ukraine’s Zelensky. China intends to send a peace envoy to support diplomatic efforts.
The war in Ukraine never should have happened. The United States could have diplomatically resolved the matter and prevented the war. Congress is willing to bankrupt the American economy, spending BILLIONS of dollars on the quagmire that is causing misery, destruction, and loss of life.
In spite of the Biden administration’s commitment to continue Washington’s proxy war against Russia, the American people support starting negotiations to bring an end to the conflict.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently convened a gathering of business executives and government agency leaders to discuss the burgeoning prospects for profitability in Ukraine following the war, assuming the “right” side wins.
April 4, 2023 | Once again we witness US governors turning their backs on Americans in their recent zoom meeting with Zelensky. Bipartisan governors declared their loyalty to his endless war while most Americans want a cease fire, negotiations, and to stop financing Ukraine’s quagmire.
Similar to what we witnessed during the CV19 scandal, rather than following their Oaths of office and the Constitution, state governors shut down their states, implemented weaponized countermeasures, and followed the UN WHO and China’s policy.
Zelensky’s war never needed to happen. Lindsay Graham, Nancy Pelosi, Joe & Hunter Biden and Co., with bipartisan Congressional support, chose to start a proxy war with Russia rather than keeping Ukraine neutral and NATO off Russia’s border. It’s another Afghanistan disaster.
Lindsey Graham_August 2022:
“I like the structural path we’re on here. As long as we help Ukraine with the weapons they need and economic support, they will fight till the last person.”
To complicate matters, Zelensky has been announcing his interest in negotiating with China on a cease fire. Negotiations are important, but there needs to be transparency and open dialogue.
America has environmental disasters, economic problems, crime (especially in cities and states that defunded the police), homelessness, open borders, and other urgent matters to address.
BILLIONS have been wasted, lives have been lost, and Americans do not support Ukraine’s endless war. The governors are really showing their true colors are not red, white, and blue.
“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in,’ I think it was, ‘about six hours.’ I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.
March 27, 2023 | Ukraine war should not have happened | Sobering insights by Colonel Douglas Macgregor in conversation with Stephen Gardner. Discussion covers the realities in Ukraine, the economic situation at home, DC politicians, and more.
“This war should not have happened. We could have stopped it in its tracks in the first week. We could have prevented it from ever happening if we had simply listened to Moscow and what they wanted which was no NATO nation on their borders.”
– Colonel Douglas Macgregor
Negotiations to end the conflict are the only way out of the catastrophe in Ukraine.

20 years after the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq by the Bush-Cheney (Pelosi) administration, U.S. ‘leadership’ is continuing wars and failing to secure peace and stability in the world.
Today the Department of Defense announced $350 MILLION more in weapons to be sent for Washington’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Meanwhile Russia and China’s leaders are engaged in discussions that include strengthening their partnership and a peace plan in Ukraine.
While violence and warfare are to be condemned in the harshest terms, Washington cannot continue to oppose war crimes and fund them simultaneously.
Call the Capitol switchboard to connect with your Senators (1-202-224-3121) and Representatives (1-202-225-3121) and tell them to support efforts to stop funding Zelensky’s endless war.
It’s time for an immediate cease fire and negotiations for a peaceful resolution to bring an end to the conflict.

As sobering economic and domestic realities are becoming clearer, there is increasing awareness that staying the course to finance Zelensky’s endless war is a losing strategy.
Peace negotiations to end the conflict are urgently needed and long overdue. -JD
February 25, 2023 | Scott Horton’s Speech @ Rage Against The War Machine Rally – February 19, 2023 |
Scott Horton’s powerful speech outlines the history of the Ukraine conflict and calls for a cease fire and peace negotiations to bring an end to the war now.
“The responsibility for the invasion of Ukraine by Russia belongs to Putin, but the new Cold War it takes place within is primarily the responsibility of the U.S. government and its leaders over the last 30 years.”
