Ce bref essai, résumé de ce que j'ai exposé dans plusieurs ouvrages, vise à présenter une critique exhaustive et radicale de l'ordre international dirigé par les États-Unis depuis 1945. Il argue que cet ordre est en train de vivre un processus terminal d'agonie, comparable à celui d'un malade en fin de vie, causant misère et désastre autour de lui.

Rutte knows that if Zelensky is replaced, the exposure of crooked EU officials might bring down the whole project in Brussels, including NATO.
Mark Rutte is not as dumb as he looks. He knows that if Zelensky is replaced, the exposure of crooked EU officials might bring down the whole project in Brussels, including NATO.
If there has ever been a twisted dichotomy of logic, it was always the West calling for bigger defence spending to prepare for a war with Russia, while in the same breath claiming that Russia was losing the war in Ukraine.

La politique d'abattage total des troupeaux bovins affectés par la dermatose nodulaire fait grincer des dents les agriculteurs français, peu rassurés par les politiques agricoles du gouvernement. En signe de protestation, ils mènent plusieurs opérations, bloquant des axes routiers dans le sud-est de la France.

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.

Nature is stingy; the things we need to sustain life above a primitive level are scarce. Fresh tomatoes, iPads, and rotator cuff surgery do not come forth as easily as the air we breathe, and thus man had to discover on his own how to produce or acquire them.
Economics is the discipline that supposedly sheds light on this process. As Rothbard tells us, "It deals in general with the action of men to satisfy their desires," focusing on the exchange of goods as the means by which this is accomplished.
L'erreur la plus flagrante concernant le système démocratique est l'indiscernement entre le but et la méthode.
Sans cesse des politiciens prétendent faire quelque choses dans le but de faire quelque chose, comme s'ils étaient des maîtres à penser, alors qu'objectivement il n'y a aucune démarche scientifique et rationnelle qui permettent de relier le but comme étant une conséquence de la méthode.

Israel has penned us all into a 'debate', one entirely divorced from reality, that relates only to those killed directly by its bombs and gunfire - not the genocide it is waging by other means
The biggest con trick Israel has managed to pull off over the past two years is imposing entirely phoney parameters on a "debate" in the West about the credibility of the death toll in Gaza, now officially standing at just over 70,000.

When I see data proving how insanely stupid the average American proves to be on a daily basis, I can't fathom why they do what they do. The information below from The Kobeissi Letter is mind boggling for someone like me, who has never tried to keep up with the Joneses, has purposely lived beneath my means for decades, and sees a vehicle as a way to get from point A to point B, and not as a status symbol for my neighbors, friends and family, proving how rich and successful I've become.
U.S. Imperialism in Latin America from the Monroe Doctrine to Maduro

In recent months, the Trump administration has escalated a decades-long campaign against the Venezuelan government and people. The renewed, intensifying threats of regime change, justified through false or inflated claims that Nicolás Maduro, its president, is directing narco-terrorism against the United States, serve as a convenient pretext for deeper and more direct intervention.
President Trump called the situation a "mess that's not easy to settle", which is a clear confirmation that Americans are definitely not the ones dominating the talks. This is hardly surprising, as Moscow has real cards, while everyone else is forced to bluff.

Across the American political spectrum, support for the State of Israel is steadily eroding. With the long-running, staggeringly expensive redistribution of American wealth and weapons to one of the world's most prosperous countries under unprecedented threat, Israel's advocates inside the United States are growing increasingly desperate to suppress the facts, opinions, questions and imagery that are causing this sea change.

Tunnel-vision greed and blindness to what is unseen and therefore "unknowable" is self-reinforcing.
The immense literature on the decline and collapse of civilizations tends to overlook a simple but profound dynamic: the tunnel-vision created by the fusion of an unquestioned belief in the permanence of the status quo and a narrow focus on maintaining and/or expanding the perquisites we're siphoning off of the empire.

The prime minister of Hungary Victor Orbán posted this morning:
The EU used the Article 122 of the treaty to make the freezing of the Russian assets in Europe permanent by the vote of a qualified majority in the Council of Europe where each nation has a vote. Previously that freeze was voted on every six month and required unanimity. Any country could thus veto further sanctions.

On 5 December, the Trump administration released a concise 29-page document outlining their National Security Strategy as required by the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986. Mostly these documents are a snooze, but the Trump NSS is remarkably readable and at points also pretty provocative.

Una divisione del mondo secondo linee multipolari - una nuova Yalta - guidata dagli Stati Uniti rappresenterebbe solo una multipolarità incompleta, più simile a una "tripolarità" sino-russo-americana che ad altro.
All'inizio di dicembre 2025, la Casa Bianca ha pubblicato una nuova "Strategia di sicurezza nazionale", un documento in cui il governo degli Stati Uniti delinea le proprie linee guida in materia di sicurezza nazionale.

Keir Starmer, Premier ministre britannique, Volodymyr Zelensky, Emmanuel Macron, president français, et Friedrich Merz, chancelier allemand.
Maria Zakharova, porte-parole de la diplomatie russe, a souligné les liens de corruption entre les politiciens occidentaux et Volodymyr Zelensky. Selon elle, ce dernier «fait chanter tout le monde» sur la question du règlement et des élections présidentielles, car il est «acculé sur tous les fronts».
Ibrahim Al-Amine, 12 décembre 2025.- L'accession du général Joseph Aoun à la présidence a marqué le début officiel d'une nouvelle phase de tutelle américano-saoudienne sur le Liban. Il s'est imposé comme le seul candidat ouvertement soutenu à la fois par Washington et Riyad. Pourtant, son ascension n'était pas garantie ; avant le cessez-le-feu et la chute soudaine du régime syrien, une contre-offensive soutenue par le Qatar et menée par le Hezbollah, le mouvement Amal, le Courant patriotique libre et plusieurs indépendants a brièvement menacé de bloquer son accession au pouvoir.
Sondos Asem et Imran Mulla, 12 décembre 2025. Karim Khan, procureur général britannique de la Cour pénale internationale, accuse un haut responsable du gouvernement britannique de l'avoir menacé de retirer le financement et le soutien du Royaume-Uni à la Cour s'il demandait des mandats d'arrêt contre des dirigeants israéliens.
Selon Middle East Eye, il s'agirait de David Cameron, alors ministre des Affaires étrangères et ancien Premier ministre.
