The end of American dominance and its bloody empire seems ahead this decade

BY: Martin Love PEJOURNAL - The United States is insolvent and the dollar is at extreme risk, some financial experts insist, of losing its worldwide reserve currency status. That may eventually ensure the end of the so-called U.S. military “empire” across the globe. Donald Trump is back to bloviating on Twitter after what amounted to a weekend at Walter Reed Hospital in what must be one of the shortest alleged bouts with Covid 19 ever. Yes he did receive the best drugs and the most advanced steroids available to “cure” corona virus (via a team of some 30 doctors) that…

The axis of instability: The Azerbaijan-Israel alliance

BY: Yeghia Tashjian and Mona Issa PEJOURNAL - Israel functions as a US proxy in the Middle East, pushing for US foreign policy and interest against its enemies – today, Iran is the only country in the region challenging the US and opposing its policies. Iran, an oil-rich country stranded by sanctions, borders with the Persian Gulf which contains the world’s most important oil checkpoint – the Strait of Hormuz. Over 20% of the world’s crude oil supply passes through this checkpoint, making it a to-die-for geostrategic target for the US. Acknowledging resource-rich targets and aspiring to annex them to…

Capitalism After the Pandemic

BY: Mariana Mazzucato PEJOURNAL - After the 2008 financial crisis which was a challenge to Capitalism, governments across the world injected over $3 trillion into the financial system. The goal was to unfreeze credit markets and get the global economy working again. But instead of supporting the real economy—the part that involves the production of actual goods and services—the bulk of the aid ended up in the financial sector. Governments bailed out the big investment banks that had directly contributed to the crisis, and when the economy got going again, it was those companies that reaped the rewards of the…

The Case for Joe Biden: America’s Straightforward Candidate

BY: Michael Robbins PEJOURNAL - Joe Biden is the Democratic Presidential candidate in the November 2020 election. He is not a new name in politics. His career has been lengthy, at times prolific, and despite what the critics on the right might say—he is a highly skilled diplomat and foreign affairs expert, especially when it comes to dealing with China and other big players on the international scene, as well as being able to locate other countries on the map. He has a sort of good-natured appeal for talking to leaders, for understanding their qualms, a quality that has been…

Turkey Rejects EU Threat of Sanctions over Eastern Mediterranean

PEJOURNAL - The European Union could impose sanctions on Turkey if Turkish "provocations and pressures" continue in the East Mediterranean. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday after a meeting of the 27-nation bloc's leaders, "We want a positive and constructive relationship with Turkey, and this would be also be very much in Ankara's interest."
