WAR AGAINST CHINA:

7:57- “The United States is cranking up now for an outright war against China and against its entire economic and financial system.”

This is explained by Alexander Mercouris in the first 8 minutes (0:00 to 7:57) of his video on June 17th that’s titled “US sanctions China via Russia. EU agrees to cover $50B loan”. From 8:00 to 13:00, he explains that, in the United States, “The Presidency is just becoming decoration, as is Congress, and the power is elsewhere; it is with the Permanent Government of the United States, the appointed officials in the bureaucracy and the other people who work with them.” The allegation here is that this anti-Russia sanctions action against China by the U.S. Treasury Department, is being imposed without anything new coming from the President, or any vote in Congress.
