"How the West Brought War to Ukraine", written by Benjamin Abelow, praised by Jack Matlock, John Mearsheimer, Chas Freeman, Douglas McGregor, Richard Sakwa, Kristen Mehta, Gilbert Doctorow & Robert Kennedy Jr.

This is a concise but useful history to NATO's implementation war with Russia. It provides much of the background necessary to understand why this war was very much avoidable but made inescapable by the political actions of the NATO collective. While its brevity prevents it from going into details or considerations for all sources on the matter, it is a very readable work that quickly delivers the most important arguments about the many Western provocations against Russia.

EUA planejam invasão do Irã no fim de semana. Consequências Devastadoras | Embaixador Chas Freeman

Neste vídeo, Pascal Lottaz entrevista o embaixador Chas Freeman para analisar o conflito em andamento entre os Estados Unidos/Israel e o Irã, um mês após o início das hostilidades. Freeman descreve a estratégia do Irã como uma tática de 'rope-a-dope' (resistir à punição enquanto exaure o oponente), destacando que, apesar dos danos físicos, a estratégia iraniana permanece intacta (0:48 - 1:15).

Pontos principais da discussão:

Impacto Militar e Reputacional: Freeman argumenta que a guerra foi desastrosa para a postura militar global dos EUA, exaurindo estoques de munição (como os mísseis Patriot) e enfraquecendo a capacidade de resposta em outras áreas, como Taiwan (1:54 - 2:18, 5:44 - 6:08).

Geopolítica e Petróleo: O Irã transformou o Estreito de Hormuz em um 'pedágio', com pagamentos sendo feitos em yuan chinês, acelerando o afastamento do dólar como moeda de reserva (8:23 - 9:02).

Ameaça de Invasão: Freeman alerta para o risco de uma invasão terrestre dos EUA no fim de semana para capturar infraestruturas importantes, como a Ilha de Kharg ou as ilhas em disputa com os Emirados Árabes Unidos (Abu Musa), visando cortar a receita de petróleo do Irã (9:33 - 10:42, 12:29 - 14:15).
