The Yanks are serious about this anti China stuff.

The Spectator will be pushing this soon no doubt. 

Gelber's been banging on about this for 20 years. Short summary from 2006.

Taiwan is the next hotspot. Not imminently, but no doubt Xi has been emboldened by the lack of retaliation by the West after the invasion of Ukraine and the troop build up has started. Similar whole lot of history going on there. Expect a misinformation campaign now...
Awkward bit is America has signed a defence agreement with Taiwan… They probably won’t do anything though. Just some sanctions and a strongly worded statement.

Long read from hindsight about how Germany's attempt to mend bridges and build some interdependence with Russia turned sour, passing through some serious greed on the way. Doesn't mention them closing down their nuclear electricity industry which was even dafter imo.

Grayzone have leaked emails from Paul Mason where he is begging the Foreign Office to set him up as some sort of left wing Bellingcat to counter "left anti imperialist narratives". He was also trying to contact the crazy looking US disinfo bird Nina Janocizw as well.

He actually created this chart of insanity. He really doesn't like Corbyn. Also he linked Novara to the "Black Community" but obviously was a bit wary of linking them to the "Muslim Community" because of Ash Sarkar so he just put them really close together. Two or three grams of quality gear went into making this.
