Their cooperation and contradictions become apparent, one of the most important of which is North Korea; China is helping North Korea maintain a strategic buffer zone against US influence.

America Against the World

BY: Philip Giraldi PEJOURNAL - There are certainly a number of reasons why American government is now only viewed favorably by the Israelis, but totally tone deaf foreign and economic policies have to be right up there in how the world sees Washington. Rather than conform to how other nations are expected to behave, America has elevated “exceptionalism” and “leader of the free world” nonsense to a dogma where it believes itself allowed to behave without restraint in defense of what it claims to be its interests. As all countries act in support of interests, that would at least be…

Biden’s Objectives in Escalating Confrontational Policy with China

PEJOURNAL - One of the most important and enduring facts in the history of international relations has been the rise and fall of great powers. This means that since the formation of the Westphalian system and the modern state, some great powers have always been able to emerge in the position of the supreme power of the international system and take the place of the previous superior states. The United States emerged as a major power after the World War II, leading and dominating the Western bloc. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, based on all objective criteria, the…

Russia gradually ditching US dollar in trade with allies

PEJOURNAL - A senior Russia lawmaker says his country is gradually reducing the role of the US dollar in financial transactions with allies and commercial partners, a long-pursued measure aimed at using currencies other than the greenback to offset the impacts of American sanctions. Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the Russian parliament's lower chamber, the State Duma, made the announcement on Thursday and said Russia was gradually reducing the share of the US dollar in the Russian economy and foreign exchange reserves.

De-Dollarization: Removing the Dollar, Strategies and Efforts

BY: Danieal Ranjbar PEJOURNAL - From the 1940s, during the post-World War II reconstruction of Europe under the Marshall Plan, the dollar became the dominant international currency. But now, after all these years and the occurrence of several internal developments in the United States and internationally, the dominance of the dollar is threatened. The introduction and gradual strengthening of digital currencies, including bitcoin, was another reason for the removal of the dollar from the financial exchanges of some countries. Russia and China, as the first countries to eliminate the dollar, succeeded in doing so and removing the dollar from their…

A vision on the future

Interview with Paolo Mauri BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - The dossiers open on Joe Biden's desk are not only those of his newborn administration but also and above all those he inherited from those who preceded him, who is not the only Donald Trump. In fact, there are specific political lines that change little from administration to administration and that reflect the interests of the American establishment and its vision of the world. In the modern era it is the world that is the scene of the action of a Super Power like the United States of America but there…

Weakened dollar, Stronger Administration

BY: Jacobien van der Kleij and Michael Robbins PEJOURNAL - One of the major events that characterized the early Trump presidency was the U.S. trade war with China. From a monetary perspective, the trade war with China was not beneficial to the U.S. dollar, and hitting China with such tariffs showed the U.S. that other countries can, and will, step in when needed.The actual “war” aspect is an editorialization, but the events were still meant to show the world that when two superpowers compete for better trade deals, there is never a clear winner. The rhetoric started on Trump’s campaign…
