Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette — Strategic Culture –
America’s Pacific War was a racist war of annihilation both before and after Japan’s surrender, Declan Hayes writes
Perhaps Edgar L. Jones, a former war correspondent in the Pacific, put it best when he asked in the February 1946 Atlantic Monthly, “What kind of war do civilians suppose we fought anyway? We shot prisoners in cold blood, wiped out hospitals, strafed lifeboats, killed or mistreated enemy civilians, finished off the enemy wounded, tossed the dying into a hole with the dead, and in the Pacific boiled flesh off enemy skulls to make table ornaments for sweethearts, or carved their bones into letter openers.”

North Korea: Silence is a Signal - by Dr Pippa
As of late April 2026, the construction around the top of North Korea has become a fully integrated, high-capacity logistics mesh designed to keep #Pyongyang both functional and tethered. It looks like preparation for integrating North #Korea into China’s economy.
This makes sense because North Korea has the last large pool of cheap labor on Earth. This strategy will also give China greater access to the Pacific. We can think of North Korea as an island, even though it is really a very large peninsula (thus proving my point that islands and peninsulas are the most important places now. But the depth of the construction suggests that China seeks to make it not only an industrial hub but also a critical element of its geostrategic presence.
#China wants direct access to the #Pacific—specifically the Sea of #Japan (#EastSea) Their efforts reveal that they, too, understand what I’ve called “Archipelagic” strategy. See: The Archipelagic Century

❗️🗣😈🚢⚓️😵💫PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN NEWS:
In this document from February 2026, it is clearly stated that the United States is becoming a "pirate country": the capture of ships and their crews in international waters is legitimized, with the aim of appropriating their goods and doing whatever they please with the vessels. Many people are unaware that, at present, there are three active maritime blockades: one in the Strait of #Hormuz, another in the North Atlantic Ocean, from #Greenland to #Iceland, and a third in the Caribbean ( #Cuba) and the #Pacific, covering a large part of #Africa and South America.(#LatinAmerica)
