The overthrow of Gaddafi was a “catastrophic mistake” – ex-head of French intelligence
The operation to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi was politically ill-conceived, immoral in nature and had “catastrophic” consequences, Jean-Francois Lullier, the former head of French intelligence in Libya, writes in his book.
A retired intelligence officer notes that at a time when the Libyan leader extended his hand to the West, instead of shaking it, the country was “beheaded”, writes the Times.
Surprisingly, in the West, for some reason, only those who have retired admit their mistakes. Being in power, these same people sow death and destruction around the world

In a live interview with Al Jazeera television, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told the TV channel the reason for the NATO alliance refusing Ukraine entry into NATO is not because NATO would be drawn into war with Russia.
She stated NATO is already at war with Russia, and the true reason for the denial is that allowing Ukraine into NATO would require official recognition of Ukraine’s borders.
This is unacceptable to the alliance because there is an intention to annex western Ukraine into Poland at the conclusion of the war.

Massacre and Willful Ignorance in Poland
On this day, 80 years ago, Ukrainian Nazis attacked a Polish village and killed 8,000 people — mostly women and children.
This “Bloody Sunday” was a part of “Volyn Massacre” in which #Ukraine‘s Nazis killed 100,000 Poles.
The leader of Ukrainian #Nazi collaborators was Stepan Bandera, who is now a hero – almost like the father of the nation – celebrated with statues, streets, stamps and even a national holiday.
For the US empire and #NATO, the current public enemy #1 is #Russia. So, vassal state #Poland pretends amnesia and blindness to its own tragic history and the marauding Nazis in Ukraine.

In a blow to BRICS, India’s Foreign Minister has declared it will not support the creation of a BRICS currency and will instead look to strengthen the Rupee instead.
Other countries within the organisation back the creation of a BRICS currency, with Russia saying the BRICS

When India continuously acts in the US’ interests by joining the QUAD, opposing a BRICS currency, pursuing conflict with China

Ukraine’s NATO membership was 404 at Vilnius. No schedule, no commitment, no pathway, just the vague possibility of a future conditional invite.
The reason: the United States already knows its proxy army has failed, the only unknown is the scale of the failure. There may not be a functioning Ukraine left to invite.
NATO can’t fast-track Ukraine’s membership while it’s in a state of conflict because that would obligate the alliance to defend it. That means fighting Russia directly and NATO doesn’t want that obligation. It knows that it can’t take Russia head on and that it would be extremely costly if it tried.
Stoltenberg basically said the quiet part out loud: if Ukraine doesn’t win on the battlefield then NATO membership is a non-issue.

UK Defence Secretary Suggests Ukraine Could Express More Gratitude: ‘We’re Not Amazon’ – The Guardian
British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has proposed that Ukraine should express more gratitude towards the West for its assistance, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s recent complaints about the lack of a definitive timetable or conditions for joining NATO.
Speaking during a briefing on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, Wallace acknowledged the importance of acknowledging support. When asked about President Zelenskiy’s remarks regarding the “absurdity” of being welcomed into the alliance without specific dates or conditions, Wallace stated, “Whether we like it or not, people want to see a bit of gratitude.”
During the briefing, Wallace also revealed that he had visited Ukraine last year, where he was presented with a list of requested weapons. He humorously remarked, “You know, we’re not Amazon. I made that clear last year when I drove 11 hours just to receive a list.”

US Treasury chieftain Yellen’s ballyhooed trip to China was not only a nothingburger. It was apparently an outright fiasco, one or two optical effects aside.
After five years’ banging its head against the wall, Washington continues to focus on getting the Chinese to adopt its own demonstrably failed systems and “values.” This level of compulsive navel-gazing is … otherworldly. Top Biden officials still behave like sleepwalking zombies, repeating, automaton-like, mantras from their neoliberal, “democratic” theology.
The Chinese, of course, told her to f*ck off — very politely.
“The last demand Yellen made was even more crazy. She called for a full turn of China towards neoliberal policies… Would China be where it is today if it had privatized its banking system and state owned companies? Would China be richer if it had let U.S. vulture funds buy up and bankrupt Chinese companies? Would it have managed to lift 800 million of its citizens from poverty if it had followed the economic advice of the U.S., the IMF or World Bank? The answer to these questions is of course an emphatic ‘No’.
“Why Yellen thinks she can impress China with advice for a ‘more market-oriented system’, even as the U.S. blocks Chinese investments, sanctions Chinese companies and limits sales of certain products to China, is beyond me…
“Unless the U.S. accepts China as equal the relations between the countries will not turn around. The U.S. can grow with China only when it accepts that China is different from itself and has its own path towards further development. As neither is the today’s dominant viewpoint a further deterioration of the relations, largely to the disadvantage of the U.S., is the most likely prospect.”

Maybe it was a tragedy for you, because yours was a war of aggression, in the neocolonialist ‘style,’ or fashion, of the day for the Americans. You wanted to replace the French; you failed; men died; so, yes, it was tragic, because they died for a bad cause. But for us, the war against you was a noble sacrifice. We did not want to fight the U.S. We did not. But you gave us no choice. Our people sacrificed tremendously for our cause of freedom and independence. There were no missed opportunities for us. We did what we had to do to drive you and your ‘puppets’––I apologize, Mr. McNamara, for again using the term ‘puppet’––to drive you and your puppets out. So I agree that you missed opportunities and that you need to draw lessons. But us? I think we would do nothing different, under the circumstances.”

VO NGUYEN GIAP: “Yes, of course. We have nothing to fear.”
