🧵 The Eurasian Entente and the End of American Hegemony
In the years preceding the Ukraine War, the dominant view was that the China/Russia partnership was a tenuous marriage of convenience. In the face of much ridicule, I consistently argued against this perspective.

I have long been convinced a Russia / China partnership is a perfectly logical and mutually beneficial course of action for the neighboring Asian superpowers — and that it contained all the elements for an enduring and harmonious relationship.

Here in 2025, my perspective on the issue continues to be vindicated by events.
In fact, the cooperative anti-hegemonic movement in Asia has gained even greater momentum — particularly in light of Iran's increasing prominence as a third-pole in an expanding entente.

Iran is already well-positioned, and arguably destined to become the dominant power in southwest Asia. Iran shares a maritime border with Russia, and China is forging both maritime and land-links with Iran.

The accelerating dissolution of American global hegemony cannot be arrested.
Russia, China, and Iran have correctly concluded that, if they act in concert, they constitute a military / economic power bloc that the rapidly evaporating empire cannot hope to defeat.

I submit it is therefore naive in the extreme for anyone to entertain the notion that this Eurasian Entente is susceptible to the impotent intrigues the gasping empire may concoct in a futile attempt to disrupt its continuing coalescence.
I recommend the commentary linked below in relation to US/Russia "negotiations" to end the war in Ukraine.
In subsequent posts, I will link to the ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTATION of RUSSIA'S PEACE TERMS as clearly enunciated over the past several years.

Essential Documentation
First is Vladimir Putin's landmark speech at the 2007 Munich Security Conference. I have linked below to a transcript which includes the essential Q&A session which followed the speech.
I have commented since February 23, 2022 on the question of the Banderite remnants of Ukraine prosecuting a protracted insurgency in the face of a decisive Russian military victory.
Although I've been posting for years in this forum about the obsolescence and vulnerability of the aircraft carrier, this was my first formal treatise on the topic — almost two years old now:
A search for “object of war” in my posting history will reveal how often I have reiterated this concept.
I recognized early on that the Russians were fighting a war of attrition whose paramount objective was to utterly annihilate the forces arrayed against them in Ukraine.

Good thread. It aligns with many things I have been writing about for the past few years, both here on Twitter/X and on my substack blog.
I think I am considerably more dubious of the strength of the US surface fleet, and particularly in terms of its capability to project power across the globe against any of its formidable potential adversaries.
If you have a few minutes and are so inclined, I'll link to a couple of my blog posts in replies to this post.
A great many Americans believe totalitarian rule could be and soon will be imposed in the United States. I have frequently addressed this question over the years. I have assembled a thread of representative posts below.
