Soon the current ICC prosecutor Karim Khan and his deputies Mame Mandiaye Niang and Shameem Khan will suffer the same fate as that of the two previous ICC prosecutors, Fatou Bensouda and Phakiso Mochochoko, who wanted to investigate American war crimes in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Will they and their families be able to step on U.S. soil? That remains to be seen. Meanwhile, everyone is wondering about the role of the ones who supply the means to those war crimes.

Not sure where Mr. Wolff is getting his numbers, but according to UN estimates the GDP of the G7 countries is basically double that of BRICS in 2024. BRICS is approximately $26.2 Trillion USD G7 (-EU) is approximately $42.8 Trillion USD G7 (+EU) is approximately $58.8 Trillion USD The reason I included numbers both with and without the EU is because I couldn't easily find GDP numbers after 2022, and I don't feel like taking the time out to hunt down the numbers from every single individual EU member nation. Regardless; without the EU included we're looking at a difference of around $16.6 Trillion USD. The total GDP of BRICS is barely $3 Trillion USD more than the United States alone. This dishonesty and deceit coming from Prof. Wolff makes me genuinely sad, as I used to be a big fan of his. It's heartbreaking. He's half the reason I'm a Socialist today, but in the past few years, especially after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he and his associates seem to have lost the plot. I genuinely do not understand what happened. I don't know what went wrong. It appears that they would prefer to live under the bootheel of an authoritarian government that wants to completely strip away human rights from minority groups and destroy any kind of individual freedom, than to live under the rule of the United States. Because... the USA is capitalist I guess? And does bad things sometimes? But, there isn't a single country in BRICS that is Socialist or Communist either, or hasn't done(or currently doing) terrible things. They ALL operate on some form of capitalism, just with a 10,000% more authoritarian government. Russia assassinates Putin's political rivals, constantly attacks and annexes its neighbors every few years, and recently made being gay illegal. China and the CCP have devolved into nothing more than a corrupt dictatorship under Xi, and put people in literal reeducation camps. They even banned Winnie the Pooh. Seriously, I don't get it. I do not f*cking understand. At all. And please, don't get me wrong. I am a Socialist. Hell, I'd honestly even prefer to see humanity move towards a unified global government in the long run. But not if that means I have to be scared for my life that I might be executed, imprisoned, or sent to a reeducation camp just because I kissed another guy, believed in the wrong god, or spoke out against a government official. As a species, we have to do something different, and something better, or we are going to face extinction in the next couple hundred years. From what I see, though, no government on this planet is genuinely moving towards doing something better. Our only options are "least terrible" at this time.

The United States (US) Empire is in decline, although its government continues making decisions as if the world were still in a US unipolar system. The world considers the US as the biggest threat to peace. If the US continues making bad decision based on wrong intelligence, the world might be soon threatened with World War III. It is important to note that the US’ Empire is immoral. This is why the US could never be a democracy. Most Americans are against the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, but since they are money makers for US oligarchs, the US government ignores what the majority wants. This is how 38 million Americans live in poverty today, while 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens! Another example is the US’ constant refusal to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned our national territory, while half of those remaining live in poverty. The new multi-polar world order will be an opportunity for real democracy based on morality. Morality is essential for democracy.

I have too tell you Wolf, you are wrong here in manny aspects. But i shal only mention one, Russia is on a almost compleate war footing, it is reactivating its old sovjet military legacy. They have wasted imence amounts of equipment in classicly russian ways. The west have yet too have comited a prosentage of its collective gdp too ukraine, if i recall the russians have commited 6%. Now Americas hegemonic power has been challanged, but in different ways you have stated. Thanks too the debaucle with ukranian aid the Europeans have now tended towords the second stage of pattons famous quote " lead me follow me or gett out of my way". This has also shown itself with Palestine, Irland Norway and SPAIN have recently recognised the existance of Palestine. This is somthing that undercuts American initiative. Anyways, i respect you and your work. And i hope i can continue too doo soo. Love Audun

Thank you for highlighting the status quo. 'America' should have stuck to what it's good at: Entertainment, not warmongering. Will be remembered for its Hollywood movies & Music, such as Blues, Jazz, Hip-Hop & Google, KZbin etc. Maybe the US will come out of its cognitive dissonance & realise that diplomacy & collaborative efforts are more productive than senseless warfaring in a heating up world.

Hmm…that sort of historical determinism is rather overstated. And often crude, not to mention impatient with annoying frivolities otherwise termed ‘facts’. The ‘brics’ !? An entity barely spoken of nowadays, with good reason. Brazil & South Africa are both foundering & approaching literal collapse in every sense. Modi’s India has failed to obtain any of its declared objectives ( even instituting access to toilets for the majority of its still severely impoverished populace proves to be a gargantuan barrier ), with the exception of amplifying Hindutva. Russia & the PRC ? One could welcome their ‘ascent’ with the sort of delight one might reserve for the prospect of the planet coming to resemble Giedi Prime.

"Ukraine is clearly losing" that's so funny, considering that's clearly not the case. Sure it's a stalemate now, but Ukraine just blew up a massive oil refinery, and Russia is VERY clearly running out of both tanks and shells. So yeah, how's that going for your "Russia Strong" narrative? 😂
