About this episode

The episode discusses the performative nature of the recent US-China meeting and the ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Taiwan and proxy wars.

- The US has a long-established pattern of meeting with China (and also Russia), agreeing in principle to cooperation and stability, while in practice committing to continued war, proxy war, encroachment, and containment of China; - The recent US-China meeting in China included little substance and concluded with not only unchanged US geopolitical objectives centered on containing China, but the continued escalation of blockades, wars, and proxy wars waged in pursuit of these objectives; - On the issue of Taiwan, US President Trump continues the same pattern of agreeing in principle with China over the US' own "one China" policy, while in practice continuing to undermine China's sovereignty over the island province and the transformation of the island province into a battering ram to use against the rest of China; References: New Atlas (X) - Full Questions/Answers regarding recent US-China meeting (May 17, 2026): https://x.com/BrianJBerletic/status/2055876779945181544 US State Department - U.S. Relations with Taiwan (archived): https://2021-2025.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-taiwan/ US President Nixon Foundation - Shanghai Communique (1972)…
