YELLEN AT CHINA even AS THE EARTH MOVES BENEATH HER FEET.

I was wrong by saying it was unlikely that Iran would mount a strike on Israel from its soil. It has. I ignored a previous Financial Times article as fanciful because it claimed a token strike had been agreed between the US, Iran and Israel in response to Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy. However, if Israel is prevented from retaliating by the US, it proves that Israel has been reeled in by the USA, that it has been humbled and shown its place in the world order, that it can no longer act as a free agent in the region, that the tail can no longer wag the dog. Clearly if Israel is forbidden from retaliating, this will provoke a political crisis within Israel itself and it is to be seen whether the present government will survive such a crisis.

THE USA RESETS ITS FOREIGN POLICY. CHINA IS NOW ITS FOCUS AND TARGET.

There is renewed speculation about the forced resignation of Nuland and her subsequent silence. When last in Kyiv she warned Russia to expect a big surprise. Some analysts are linking this to the Ukraine incursion into Russia in the direction of the nearest nuclear base to the border. Was this the surprise she was talking about, and did the US forewarn Russia? Zelensky certainly thinks there was a leak about the incursion into Belgorod which has seen the deaths of a large number of Ukrainian soldiers masquerading as Russian dissidents. If true it shows how precarious the situation in and around Ukraine really is.

THE UK’s MARCH BUDGET AND THE DEEPENING CRISIS OF BRITISH CAPITALISM.

It has been pointed out that the £218 billion in cuts to public services may be overstated, due to GDP growth and higher taxes. Far from it. Projecting future GDP growth is not consistent with the experience of no growth over the last two years. Furthermore even the OBR projects a fall in the tax take over these years of £93.6 billion (see their table A.6 page 151, the link is in the main article) making it unlikely that increased taxation will moderate the cuts. Of course these cuts will be unsustainable, which means the Tories are passing a loaded gun onto Labour.
