Seoul. Got to Suzie Q late night. Totally empty. Except for a housewife-vibe bar lady watching a basketball match and s somnolent DJ. I grabbed a cold beer and placed only one request - pencil written, inside the box: Time is Tight, Booker T and the MGs, Stax heaven. Impeccable audition - complete with age-old vinyl scratches. A moment of magic - and then back into the silent Korean night. Time IS tight - more than ever. Gotta make the most of it - while we can. And no, South Korea is not entering the American war on Iran.

QUAL E' LA VERA SFIDA CHE LA SCO DEVE AFFRONTARE di Pepe Escobar Il 25° vertice annuale dell’Organizzazione di Cooperazione di Shanghai (SCO) tenutosi a Bishkek, in Kirghizistan, potrebbe non essere stato così sfarzoso come l’evento dello scorso anno a Tianjin, in Cina, ma si è comunque distinto per diversi aspetti fondamentali.

Seoul. The Northeast Asia-Central Asia connection. Grassroots connectivity corridors. The joint is rockin’. Hittin’ a chill listening bar tonight.

Seoul. Welcome to the real grassroots cash economy. Yes, we take rubles. No need to way for BRICS.

Welcome to Seoul. K-pop economy: cool lady churning out cool toasts street-style.

The notion of Tweedledum and Tweedledee acting as errand boys between Moscow and Kiev is so deliciously wicked.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Radev (one of few sane voices in the midst of psychopaths): How long will Russia endure Western aggression? “Europe can exist without Russia, but it is unlikely to last long while fighting against Russia,” Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said during the government hour in parliament on September 4. ▪️ “Isn’t it reckless that leading European countries are sending their long‑range weapons to strike thousands of kilometres deep into Russian territory — with weapons manufactured in Europe, using information from Europe, and with instructors from Europe?” “Isn’t this recklessness?” the Bulgarian prime minister began to reason. “Let’s judge for ourselves, let’s not turn a blind eye. What can we expect when our long‑range weapons are used to strike deep behind another country’s lines? Will it stand aside or will it respond? That is the main question,” he added. The Bulgarian prime minister also assessed the West’s strategy towards Russia: “The collective West is trying to achieve a military victory over Russia using conventional [non‑nuclear] means, without taking into account the fact that it is the largest nuclear power and that we cannot counter its hypersonic weapons. This is clearly evident from what happens every night in the sky over Kyiv.” ▪️ Strikingly sound judgment, uncharacteristic of Europe’s current political leaders. At the very least, Mr. Radev understands that the level of escalation in the war with Russia through Ukraine cannot be raised indefinitely, hoping that Moscow’s responses will be limited to Ukrainian territory. It should be noted that Bulgaria is a small country, albeit one with access to the Black Sea. And it is unable to influence the policies of the European Union, let alone NATO. Therefore, we can talk about a change in Europe’s escalatory stance if such statements come from the leading EU countries — Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands — which together account for 67 % of the union’s entire economy. However, the prevailing sentiment there is the opposite — a desire to continue the war with Russia. At the same time, NATO and the EU are confident in the thesis that our country will continue to remain within the convenient framework of a conventional war of attrition for them, without resorting to its nuclear factor. Radev noted this correctly. And at the same time, he posed a perfectly appropriate question: what if this is not always the case? @EvPanina https://sofiaglobe.com/2026/09/04/radev-europe-can-exist-without-russia-but-it-will-hardly-exist-for-long-against-russia

🌏🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇳🇮🇷 ¿A qué se enfrenta realmente la OCS? – por Pepe Escobar

Es posible que la 25ª cumbre anual de la Organización de Cooperación de Shanghái (OCS), celebrada en Bishkek (Kirguistán), no haya sido tan llamativa como el evento del año pasado en Tianjin (China), pero resultó notable en varios aspectos clave. Es posible que la Declaración de Bishkek final haya sido extremadamente diplomática. Sin embargo, los puntos principales no podrían haberse destacado con mayor claridad.

Pepe Escobar on what the SCO is really building: not another talking shop, but the foundations of an economic system Washington cannot control. Across Eurasia, Russia, China, Iran and their partners are expanding trade in national currencies, linking transport and energy corridors and building their own development institutions. A sovereign digital settlement currency could take this transformation even further by challenging the dollar system itself. Together, these projects are turning the SCO into the economic backbone of a multipolar Eurasia — one increasingly insulated from US sanctions, financial exclusion and pressure on global trade routes. 👉 Read his full analysis on our Substack
