Sept. 19—If you are a regular reader of this report, you were probably shocked to learn last Thursday, Sept. 15 that the commander in chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, had co-authored an article published on the Ukrainian news site Ukrinform on Sept. 7 which claimed that there were indications that Russia was preparing a nuclear strike in Ukraine, and that it is therefore “extremely necessary … [that] any Russian attempts at practical steps in the use of tactical nuclear weapons must be preempted by employing the entire arsenal of means at the disposal of world powers.” We warned you at the time that “such an outrageously dangerous and provocative article could never have been written, let alone published, without the prior approval of the U.S., U.K. and NATO forces running the war.”

The world is descending into madness, but there is resistance emerging across Europe, while Russia, China and the entirety of the "Global South" are collaborating in the formation of a new global financial architecture.
