In this edition of a Different View with F William Engdahl he goes into the
real issues on the new Pentagon Defense Strategy document that was widely
missed by mainstream media, namely how the Pentagon is now making economic
rivals into its main "enemy image," and no longer focusing on the War on
Terror. He discusses what in fact this means and how it represents a
dangerous shift in US military priorities. The full 20 minute video is available exclusively for members at Newsbud.com Nonmembers can watch and share at Newsbud Vimeo on Demand.

F. William Engdahl discusses reports in Iranian media that Iran will formally join Russia’s Eurasian Economic Union. While Washington threatens to impose new unwarranted sanctions on Iran and on Russia, the two major Eurasian economies are now moving closer to de-dollarize their trade and to lessen the impact of any future sanctions. He discusses how Washington reacted the last time a major country, Ukraine, in 2014 opted to join the EEU and was the target of a CIA coup d’etat. This time Washington will not have it so easy. The geopolitical map of the world is changing rapidly and in ways Washington seems not to grasp. Engdahl explains the newest developments in Eurasia, parallel to China’s Belt Road Initiative, exclusively for Newsbud community members.

F. William Engdahl explains how the China Belt Road project is far more than steel and ports. Together with Russia, China is carefully laying the ground to create a gold-based payment system that will avoid the dollar. Engdahl explains how the issue by the Russian government of $1 billion state bonds in Chinese Yuan fits into that grand design to give an alternative to a bankrupt Dollar System that’s choking the world economy. Plus, Engdahl explains the groundbreaking summit with 16 central and eastern European states and China blacked out by the media as Eastern Europe turns to China Silk Road - exclusively for Newsbud community members.
