Martin Jay – Strategic Review.su Sept 2, 2026
What’s the joke Putin, Xi and Modi? Well, Trump actually – whose childish antics are making us all rich.
What was the joke? When leaders of China, Russia and India huddled together recently at the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), they had a funny moment for a few seconds, captured by world media and shared on social media extensively. The SCO was initially just China, Russia and some former Central Asian Soviet states, but in recent years has expanded its membership to Iran, Pakistan and India – making it a formidable bloc. The joke Putin, Xi and Modi shared might have been at Donald Trump’s expense, as the more that the U.S. president does internationally, the more of a joke he becomes universally around the world. The U.S. president is literally a comic figure – a clown who amuses world leaders who are embracing a new multipolar world which has found a new system of global trade that bypasses the U.S. altogether. Like BRICS, the SCO is growing all the time and now planning to have its own development bank, as these countries totally abandon the U.S. dollar, the U.S. banking system, and now the IMF and World Bank.
The joke, possibly, is that it is Trump and his erroneous policy decisions which accelerate the growth of both the SCO and BRICS each day – as Trump’s ideas are so firmly rooted in a period of time in the second half of the 20th century where the U.S. was the dominant superpower and could bully everyone on the planet with its foreign policies. In the old days, huge foreign policy failures like Korea and Vietnam mattered less, as America was always the 600-pound gorilla who could sit wherever it wanted to sit when it entered a room. Having said that, the Vietnam war was hugely expensive and cost the American economy heavily – which is why Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold, so that future wars could be fought with freshly minted dollars with no side effects. In reality, subsequent wars – certainly Iraq and Afghanistan – were fought using money which was essentially borrowed from Global South countries, even China, through treasury bonds – basically loans given to countries backed by the U.S. government. But in recent weeks, with the real story of the Iran war emerging, some economists are wondering how much longer America has in this new system of endless borrowing from the Global South. With the rapid acceleration of both SCO and BRICS, borrowing money from the U.S. treasury might simply become an outdated idea – and a surplus of dollars around the world which not many people want only means one thing: inflation.
Inflation would come about, economists argue, as the price of the U.S. dollar would have to be weakened – which at a glance doesn’t look like a bad thing (and something that Trump actually wants). A cheaper dollar gives a shot in the arm to U.S. manufacturers, but it also makes foreign goods more expensive, which drives inflation. Leaders like Trump, who don’t really understand international trade, don’t get the downside to a weaker dollar – which is an argument that only works when you have real control over the world’s economies and their central banks, like in Nixon’s day. “It may be our dollar, but it’s your problem,” one of Nixon’s advisors is quoted as saying to Europeans in the early seventies at a conference which explained how he planned to weaken the U.S. dollar and keep the hegemony.
Trump can’t do both. And the more he messes with foreign policy – like a disgruntled, privileged brat who is used to his tantrums getting attention – the more the U.S. economy and its once-hegemony sinks. Perhaps this is what Putin, Xi and Modi were laughing about. Their economies are literally being advanced by Trump’s stupidity and every poor decision he makes based on nursing his own wounded ego. The recent attack by U.S. forces on an island in the Persian Gulf must have made all three laugh their socks off, as it will cost the U.S. dearly. Did Trump do it so he could lie to U.S. reporters and claim to have attacked Kharg Island instead? Does he even understand the basic unwritten rule of escalation in the Middle East? Iran now has to hit U.S. troops and bases twice or three times harder just to retain its political capital. Can the U.S. sustain such a beating when its own arsenal is down to worrying levels never seen before, in particular interceptor missiles like THAAD?
The delusional antics of Trump are leading America to ruin at a speed most thought was unimaginable. While few – if any – U.S. presidents, unlike U.S. soldiers, understand how poor the U.S. military is (all it ever does is lose wars it starts and has to retreat in embarrassment), it is telling how out-of-date Trump is when it comes to global economics and where the U.S. stands in the world. His recent campaign against India was pathetic – singling out an old ally with sky-high tariffs which will force Modi to forget the U.S. market altogether and look elsewhere for its exports. India has no choice when it comes to Russian oil, which is the lifeline of its economy, and now secondary sanctions which Trump is imposing on countries that do business with Iran are also hitting Delhi. But does America come out of it even looking like a winner when it has to block India’s exports of rice to Iran? America’s delusional views about where it stands in the world today are seen in the same prism as bags of rice. Trump can’t stop Iran selling oil to China, but it can block bags of rice from being loaded onto ships or trucks headed towards Iran. This is not a superpower flexing its muscles – but more of a former empire struggling to cope with the new pecking order which has pushed it down the line. Maybe the joke in Tianjin was: “How can we fix the U.S. elections so Trump comes back for a third term?”
We all know the jews were banned from Britain in the year 1290
but what is the real story ?
The jews in Europe envied the British and thought there was money here to be taken
so they organised a fake invasion in the North of England led by King Harolds half brother Tostiq
while the English arme marched up to quell the invaders, the real invasion was at Hastings
the Normans were well prepared with arms and weapons from the jewish suppliers
and dug in at Hastings.
Harolds exhausted army marched back non stop to tackle the Normans but the norman archers won the day and Duke William of Normandy became king william 1st
The jews of course flocked in and money grubbing began, jews were appointed as tax collectors and
the cruel sheriff of nottingham was said to be William de Wenneval.
The word Sherriff derives from the Old English term “scirgerefa,” or Governor.
The first thing the new owners of the UK did was to disarm the people
this is always done before a clampdown, the Jews did it in the UK after ww1
and its been done to Palestine and the occupied territories
second thing was to double all taxes.
The jews were hated because they were tax collectors and on their visits to the towns and villages had to have armed escorts as this is where Robin Hood came in, hiding in Sherwood forest
he would attack and rob the tax collectors and then gave the money back to the starving peasants
King Edward 1st knew the jews were not handing in all the tax money and saw that the jewish money lenders were more wealthy than he was, so in 1290 all jews were expelled from Britain, the country was full of missing children and the jews
Jews proclaimed a curse on the king, jews are allowed to carry our revenge down to the 7th generation
and when Oiver Cromwell brought back the jews, they had king Charles killed on January 1649.
The situation today in Britain where we were told yesterday there would be huge tax rises
has angered the people who pay £5000 per second for Rothschild loans
there is a strong feeling that the people will fight no more wars for the jews, 2 world wars were enough
and many now w ant the jews expelled again
peace way = cooperation = non confrontation .
Mmmm… could he be doing it to create that very system you all crave? A one world government.
Rightly did Benjamin Franklin predict the outcome of the United States some 250 years later. From What world famous men said about the Jews:
What Franklin warned against has already happened. America is now Zionist Occupied Country.
There is a lot of good talking points with this article but actually it attributes the sustained Us-Israel aggression and blundering against Iran to the puppet leader Donald Trump, as if he is actually in command of US foreign policy. Whether the US is run by the ever-hungry US MIC and the Pentagon the mysterious US deep state, or the more overt Jewish doner class and Wall Street, or the clutches of the more-remote international Jewish and British money power out of the London Square Mile, it is not Donald Trump who is really in control of anything.
Control of developing Asian markets whether by the Western-based banksters such as through the ownership and debt-rigging practices of the virtually every nation on the globe or by the local owners of the leftovers and the nations themselves, essentially means that the resource-dependent EU nations and the MIC-oriented hegemon of the US is no longer really necessary regarding all of the future development plans for Asia. Regardless of the Iran sortie, the Rothschild dynasty has its tentacles into everything, with planned development and controlled trade routes spanning all over Asia to Africa and Europe. That is probably why the Asian leaders are laughing at the US-led West. Yet, China has been cut off from the oil supplies it was counting on from Venezuela, making Iranian oil much more of a strategic economic interest to that nation. The actual ghouls behind present US-Israeli foreign policy know this, and they also realize that in not controlling Iranian natural gas that the EU and the UK, despite US exports, will have to become more dependent on Russian natural gas. Also, without the control of Iran, the US, the UK and the EU will have much more limited future reserves regarding gasoline and diesel for their projected needs.
These are virtually the only REAL reasons at work in the thinking and morality of most thinking and influential people in the West. Most of the condemnations of the war from media pundits in the US are projected not really on any moral basis of Right or Wrong according to any effective moral framework – such as the ones which virtually all nations subscribed to in 1945 and 1948 following WWII (even hypocritically in the midst of on-going Jewish crimes against humanity in Palestine). No, the condemnations are generally those of self interest, that the US is becoming the laughing stock of the world or that the war is simply not “winnable”. Not to say those reasons should not be used but that they do indicate what the moral consensus of the people of the West is actually now based upon, which is really to justify any EVIL if it will serve our interests.
Present US, UK, Israeli foreign policy is simply based on the long-planned efforts to control the Levant and to conquer Iran. In the a-moral world in which we live, it appears that the most ruthless and sociopathic people end up in command and owning virtually everything. That is why we have wars, and if you want to go anywhere in the US, UK, and Israeli governments, industries, and military you have to realize those facts and put your moral sensibilities in your pocket.
‘Sensibilities’? Did I hear that word wobbling away in my brain to irrelevancy in its inherent humanist weakness? Surely it has failed to be any kind of natural bullwork against our bloody history based on the principles that might makes right and the ends justify the means. The 18th century British philosopher David Hume was quite right in saying that you cannot for morality sake get from an “is to an ought”, and that was entirely due to the fact that his “is” of our human sensibilities which he essentially said, in his hidden contradictions, “ought” to be the basis of our morality, but it all ended up going nowhere and producing nothing but “naught”. [Get my new book: “David Hume – From Is to Naught”.
Is that weak and vacillating idea of very malleable human sensibilities not the only real moral authority in all high places including all citadels of higher learning ever they kicked out the authority of God and the person of Christ from human sensibilities? Was it not David Hume who gave the world its replacement for its guidance in all matters of Right & Wrong, and is he not godfather of modern humanism, materialism, and moral relativism? And is it not by now a proven historical fact that there really was never enough juice in this thought to curb our human sensibilities which happen to be evil and indifferent to human suffering, and especially when it comes to satisfying and of our really strong temporal interests?
Where now is there any real moral authority in our world today telling the rich and the powerful both in the West and the East that it is VERBOTEN to destroy and plunder any nation, or to kill droves of innocent people, and send survivors fleeing all around the world? Yes “VERBOTEN”, which means “FORBIDDEN” no matter what the hell our interests are WE DO NOT DO THAT OR ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN. Instead, WE SIMPLY remove from power ANY WAY WE CAN those who perpetuate such EVILS!!! Save for this site and a few others I do not hear such advice coming from any other quarter.
Regarding all of the fake perils, false flags, and lies used to usher people into various wars and confines, one can say based on the results, “Who cares for the fake motives and the methods? We accomplished our goals, didn’t we?”
With what is happening now with all of the fake crises to usher us into their centralized technocratic and top-down controls. and unjust wars, it would appear that the only moral bullwork the humanists have been in relying on to decrease human injustice are human sensibilities which are continually being conditioned by the most amoral and sociopathic creatures ever to dwell on the earth – now even to the point of making once-abhorred crimes against humanity, such as genocide, the ” new normal”.
While we dither as mere spectators, the amoral & sociopathic US-Israeli amalgamated military is deliberating with the equally amoral & sociopathic money-power tycoons, as to effectiveness of devastating Iran with conventional US carpet bombing as opposed to using their real SHOCK & AWE weaponry, including blasting various strongholds with tactical nukes, and even using high-energy beams to zap people – all in order to achieve total capitulation, control and ownership over Iran. Of course, they are concerned to some extent about the rising sensibilities of the world regarding their pursuits and methods, but the problem is that those in power really have none of their own, and the last thing they worry about is being toppled. As for the general public in the powerful nations all they really care about is the cost of winning. If it can be done to their advantage then they judge the entire war effort as entirely justified.
War as we know it is a dirty business and always fueled by escalating injustices and wrongs, but if any moral standards are to apply to prevent them, then they have to be much stronger than human sensibilities educated and increased on just secular norms based on “natural sympathy” or adopting a more “general point of view” as Hume recommended. There has to be something in the moral framework of human affairs which is much stronger than just taking account of some Gallop Poll consensus, and especially with any such consensus being more the result of evil sentiments and justifications constantly being brainwashed upon the minds of a very naive and amoral public. .
Hume also thought there was a long way to go to increase human sensibilities to reduce human suffering and to curb dishonest and harmful conduct, and he recommended that education and increasing human sensibilities to the wrongs was what we all ought to be doing a great deal more to stop. Unfortunately, being bereft of the grace and power of God in his life, he believed that all morality was based on human sensibilities and even on human reason. However, if our sensibilities are to be educated as a check to what is clearly EVIL in our conduct then is does require the truth as to our real natures, as well as reason, PLUS the higher power of God’s supernatural order instilled our hearts, such that we do our best to remove evil rulers from our midst, and do not obey their evil commands.
Trump will continue playing the fool until Iran has destroyed all other countries oil exports. Then he will destroy Iran’s ability to export oil. He will play the fool until he controls all the worlds trade choke points. He will continue playing the fool until he has the Faulklins gas. He will play the fool until he builds the one world government center in Palestine. Who is the fool?
