The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب: "Hizbullah's stronghold"
"Often referred to as a “Hezbollah stronghold” in the Western media,
south Beirut is really just a regular densely populated working class
neighborhood where the party is popular." "Now what I found interesting
was that Hezbollah also had established a reconstruction company after
the end of the 2006 war, when Israeli bombs flattened an entire
neighborhood and left some 20,000 people homeless. And in the rebuilding
process, Hezbollah’s company “Wa’ad” (promise) also branded its logo on
similar concrete barricades. A major difference is that Solidere,
established by Lebanon’s late billionaire prime minister, turned old
Beirut into a luxury playground catering to the rich, erasing much of
the past social fabric of a mixed income city center, while Hezbollah’s
Waad rebuilt the neighborhood for the working class families that lived
there and encouraged them to move back."

Hungary becomes 1st EU nation to join China’s Silk Road network | The BRICS Post
Hungary becomes 1st EU nation to join China’s Silk Road network | The BRICS Post
A new map unveiled by Xinhua
shows the Chinese plans for the Silk Road run through Central China to
the northern Xinjiang from where it travels through Central Asia
entering Kazakhstan and onto Iraq, Iran, Syria and then Istanbul in
Turkey from where it runs across Europe cutting across Germany,
Netherlands and Italy.
The maritime Silk Road begins in China’s Fujian and ends at Venice, Italy.
The network would include building railways, highways, oil and gas
pipelines, power grids, Internet networks, maritime and other
infrastructure links.
Earlier last year, China announced a $40 billion Silk Road Fund to strengthen connectivity in the Asia-Pacific region.
China, with $4 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, is pushing for
the growth of its own multilateral bodies, including the AIIB, the BRICS
Bank and a bank for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, but also
seeking to strengthen its voice at the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund.

The Geopolitics of American Global Decline
Washington Versus China in the Twenty-First Century
By Alfred W. McCoy
For even the greatest of empires, geography is often destiny. You wouldn’t know it in Washington, though. America’s political, national security, and foreign policy elites continue to ignore the basics of geopolitics that have shaped the fate of world empires for the past 500 years. Consequently, they have missed the significance of the rapid global changes in Eurasia that are in the process of undermining the grand strategy for world dominion that Washington has pursued these past seven decades.
