Whether the recent agreement holds together or not, the Camp David meeting is a further step in Washington’s strategy of inserting tensions, instability and continuing provocations in the region in an attempt to block China’s development and its growing regional trade with its neighbors. Washington is attempting to distract from the economic decline of the U.S. by asserting its military dominance in the Pacific.

U.S. corporations are the main beneficiaries of a policy that obstructs Japan’s and South Korea’s trade with China. China’s huge economy is a major market for their products, thus aiding the economies of its two neighbors. According to the Wilson Center, China is the top trading partner of more than 120 countries, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia. U.S. corporate interests are consumed with the task of how to reverse this economic reality and contain China, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.

This new Camp David military pact follows Washington’s revival and upgrading of the QUAD — the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue among four countries: the U.S., India, Australia and Japan. The Quad holds joint military exercises that openly target China.

    There hasn't been a legitimate election in Ukraine since the one that Yanukovich won back before the Maidan coup. All elections since then have been a fraudulent joke, not least of all because they excluded the millions of citizens living in the Donbass which Ukraine claims are their citizens yet on whom the Kiev Nazi regime has waged war for almost a decade now.

    The Kiev regime's genocide of ethnic Russians and their planned ethnic cleansing of the Donbass (and in their absurd fantasies also of Crimea which they still are delusional as to believe they will ever get their hands on again), are well documented fact.

    The aggressors are NATO and their Nazi proxies. Russia is engaged in a legitimate act of self-defense of its own people and of the Russian speaking population of former eastern Ukraine.
