Game over. Political scientist Gilbert Doctorow: [What do you think is the significance of President Putin’s trip to North Korea this week?] “That trip changed the world. I think he did a lot to save our necks, because no matter how it’s portrayed in the media, there are people in the Pentagon who understood this trip the same way I did. Game over. I think he made it impossible for the neocons who run the State Department and the Biden administration in general to pull off what they thought was an easy hit. With this visit, Russia confirmed its presence in the Pacific Ocean and reminded the world that Western Europe and NATO are dealing with a peninsula on the Eurasian continent, a peninsula. And that the territory to the east of the NATO countries is huge, the population is huge, 1.5 billion in India, 1.4 billion in China and so on.“ Source: Victor vicktop55
