China’s socialist government has overseen almost 3/4ths of global extreme poverty reduction.
Decolonization struggles in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s (which were led overwhelmingly by socialists) were responsible for much of the initial poverty reduction — after centuries of European capitalist enslavement, pillage, and exploitation pushed billions of people into poverty.
If it’s as simple as capitalism = prosperity, why have decades of unrestrained capitalism (and neoliberal policies imposed by Washington) not brought, say, Haiti, Guatemala, or much of the underdeveloped Global South out of poverty?

An American mercenary in the Azov Battalion, Justin Bans, gave an interview. He joined the Azov intelligence unit, made up entirely of Americans.
When he arrived there, he learned that his commander and associates adhered mainly to Nazi ideology:

There are still many neo-Nazis in the Azov battalion. There are so many of them that it’s even ridiculous how common it is in Azov, how common it is.
-

The United States did Russia a huge favor by forcing it to decouple from the Western economy.
The unilateral and illegal sanctions imposed by the U.S., in hopes of crushing the Russian economy, have fizzled like a damp squib.
Russian economic sovereignty has greatly improved, while the West is burning its leverage.
Now the IMF has hiked Russia’s 2023 growth forecast to %1.5, up from 0.8%, after a stronger than expected showing for the first half of the year.

“There was never any justification for the RBA pushing up interest rates.
The correct policy response should have been to provide fiscal support for lower-income households to help them cope with the cost of living rises and wait for the adjustment after the disruption to come.
The approach taken by the Bank of Japan and the Japanese government was the correct one and that is now clear even though the mainstream economists still cannot see past their textbooks.”

And nobody seems to care about that ,” said Kennedy. – “We grew up thinking that we won the Second World War, that America defeated Adolf Hitler. Only my uncle said: No, the Russians won the war,” said Kennedy, recalling the losses of the USSR. According to his words, the USA does not have high-level relations with Russia, and communication must be established. “I think it would be important to think about it today, because no one has talked to Russian President Vladimir Putin for a year. The US does not have high-level contacts with Russia. We need to talk to them,” Kennedy specified

On this day in 1949, Republican Senator Robert A. Taft of the “Old Right” gave a speech in opposition to the ratification of the NATO pact. He was one of only 13 to vote against it.
The speech he gave was extraordinarily prescient.
“Why did I vote against the Atlantic Pact? I wanted to vote for it—at least I wanted to vote to let Russia know that if she attacked western Europe, the United States would be in the war. I believe that would be a deterrent to war…
We issued just this warning in the Monroe Doctrine, and though we were a much less powerful nation, it prevented aggression against Central and South America. That was only a President’s message to Congress, and there were no treaty obligations, and no arms for other nations.
But it was one of the most effective peace measures in the history of the world. I would favor a Monroe Doctrine for western Europe. But the Atlantic Pact goes much further. It obligates us to go to war if at any time during the next 20 years anyone makes an armed attack on any of the 12 nations.
Under the Monroe Doctrine we could change our policy at any time. We could judge whether perhaps one of the countries had given cause for the attack. Only Congress could declare a war in pursuance of the doctrine.
Under the new pact the President can take us into war without Congress. But, above all the treaty is a part of a much larger program by which we arm all these nations against Russia… A joint military program has already been made… It thus becomes an offensive and defensive military alliance against Russia.
I believe our foreign policy should be aimed primarily at security and peace, and I believe such an alliance is more likely to produce war than peace. A third world war would be the greatest tragedy the world has ever suffered. Even if we won the war, we this time would probably suffer tremendous destruction, our economic system would be crippled, and we would lose our liberties and free system just as the Second World War destroyed the free systems of Europe. It might easily destroy civilization on this earth…
There is another consideration. If we undertake to arm all the nations around Russia from Norway on the north to Turkey on the south, and Russia sees itself ringed about gradually by so-called defensive arms from Norway and Denmark to Turkey and Greece, it may form a different opinion. It may decide that the arming of western Europe, regardless of its present purpose, looks to an attack upon Russia. Its view may be unreasonable, and I think it is. But from the Russian standpoint it may not seem unreasonable. They may well decide that if war is the certain result, that war might better occur now rather than after the arming of Europe is completed…
How would we feel if Russia undertook to arm a country on our border; Mexico, for instance?
Furthermore, can we afford this new project of foreign assistance? I think I am as much against Communist aggression as anyone, both at home and abroad; certainly more than a State Department which has let the Communists overrun all of China… But we can’t let them scare us into bankruptcy and the surrender of all liberty, or let them determine our foreign policies. We are already spending $15,000,000,000 on our armed forces and have the most powerful Air Force in the world and the only atomic bomb. That, and our determination to go to war if Europe is attacked, ought to be sufficient to deter an attack by armed force. We are spending $7,000,000,000 a year on economic aid to build up those countries to a condition of prosperity where communism cannot make internal progress. Shall we start another project whose cost is incalculable, at the very time when we have a deficit of 1,800,000,000 dollars and a prospective deficit of three to five billion? …
