      What the West doesn't understand is that the West has a predatory mind and society. Even tough thete us enough wealth in the west to evolve to a more humanistic society. They keep holding on to their past as barbaric parasiting feudal systems. They simply can't comprehend the need for humans to rice above greed, competition and exploitation.
      The rest of the world doesn't like that. We know we can be better than that, and that's something the West will never understand!

    The China-Russia relationship may have started out as a marriage of convenience, but constant American pressure changed that relationship into a much deeper and much more permanent one. High pressure is what turns charcoal into diamond.
    Now, Russia faces a wall of hostility in the west. This hostility is so irrational and intense that even dogs and cats did not escape. This hostility seems to be enduring, lasting long into the future decades. I would call this the biggest geopolitical blunder in history of the world.

    When the US realized that they would never have a Yeltsin again, they decided to go down the path to war. The current war is what the
    US has been aiming for since 2014. As is often the case, the war has not turned out to be the cakewalk that was envisioned. Funny how often that happens.

    The problem is simple to understand if you begin from this one fact. The American Empire is an offspring of the British Empire. It prefers to colonise the World using International Finance Capital based out of the "City of London" but will not hesitate to use force and violence when necessary (WW1, WW2, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine etc..). There are "managers" that branch out like a spider's tentacles to maintain the Empires control like BIS (Bank of International Settlements), Wall Street, MIC (military industrial complex), Westernised academic institutions (i.e. Neo-liberal economics), Western foundations and think tanks (i.e. Ford, Rockefeller, Chatham House) mainstream media, NGO's etc. The purpose of Imperialism is wealth extraction (land, resources, labor, human mind etc..) from the World for the benefit a Racist Elite minority (they do nothing and live in a garden while the slaves do everything and live in the jungle). Imperialism keeps and forces countries to stay under-developed and dependent. Finally, the Imperialists will "lie, cheat and steal" (as per Mike Pompeo ex US secretary of state and CIA director) to maintain their grip over humanity.

    • @PropagandasaurusRex
      @PropagandasaurusRex Месяц назад

      American Empire is a special kind of imperialism. While everything you say is true, one important part is missing: dogma.
      Unlike previous empires, US empire has a doctrine that transforms it from a-political colonization to the multi-faceted cult that is neoliberalism.
      Whereas it used to be a zero sum game of territory it is now a zero sum game of ideology. Conquest has been replaced by sanctions, nationalism replaced by corporatism, evangelization replaced by subjugation.
      Neoliberalism has a lot in common with nazism. It is just as intolerant of other idelogies, is just as violent and just as potent. That's why The West has no problems supporting nazi's in Ukraine, as they are very much alike.

    I have never been a big fan of Henry Kissinger, but I certainly believed that he was correct when he said that the US must ensure that it has better relations with China and Russia than they have with each other.
    In the brief unipolar moment after the fall of the Soviet Union, the US decided that it could ignore that advice and has not yet seen the error it has made.

    The one thing I'll disagree with is that China responding militarily would be a trap they should avoid. The US has overstretched itself just supporting the proxy war. Them trying to support two, while also having military deployments everywhere and a possible war with Iran, would actually be the best time to commit to a military solution that the US is pushing for.

    We've seen these past 5-7 years, the stark sharpening of maligned influence of the US in Global affairs (in truth, this maligned influence has been around for the past 50 years). Humanity's future is with multi-polarity and an end to hegemony. China's unwavering position of non-interference and respect of sovereignty, indivisible security and economic cooperation and building cultural interactions, is going to anchor and set the tone for this new multi-polar world. It pre-empts the prospect of regional hegemons even (if the biggest, strongest nation isn't exerting regional hegemony, it would make it very difficult for other regional powers to attempt it).

    WW III had already started years way back except in different forms, and were all fired and first triggered by the collective West towards pivotal states situated in Eurasia landmass. Recent three ones are Russia-Ukraine conflict, Israel-Hamas war + Shia resistance group, and various wars between US and China covering trade, economic, technology, …etc. The much-worried concern is will there be a hot war for WW III? and my guesstimate is NOT for two reasons; firstly Wall street capital controlled America can NOT afford to accept a loss in wealth because of damages caused by war; secondly, China had already started years ago to disarm US, and extendable collective West, by reducing or limiting key materials for armament production. How can you bite without teeth?

As equal as Russia is blood relatives to Ukraine, Lithuania, Germany etc to the West. Ethnics in Russia, such as Kazakhs, Tuvans, Koryo-saram, and Buryats are actually in China too. Well Koryo-saram are also in Korea too btw... Asians got this saying. Water cut by knife cannot be separated. All Asians are the "water" in this case...

When Putin saw his man in Ukraine replaced by a more EU leaning government, he showed his hope for incremental integration with the West by taking Crimea? Has Putin ever disavowed hero worship of the imperial Russian czars?

    To understand what is going on it’s necessary to consider that there has been a definite genocide of the Slavic ethnic group of humanity going on for hundreds of years now. In fact they are not even mentioned in the list of ethnic groups any longer! It’s very disturbing when you look into this and their history. The question that should be asked why. Well seems they were always seen as too militaristic and lesser human beings even. Then the question should be what does diversity then mean if humanity will allow certain people to decide which people as a group should or should not be allowed to exist. When will humanity sort out this obviously inhumane ideologies without resorting to genocide. Ukraine, Poland and entire Eastern European nations are Slavic ethnic group and has been targeted for generations now Zelensky is not part of this ethnic group.

    With due respect, Sir Richard Moore's analysis is not only outdated but also benefits the Axis Forces (Germany+Japan) World War III plan. Still maintaining the Cold War 1968 analogy, Sir Moore cannot see the 'Big Picture' in the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters. Elite beliefs shape state behavior, and the Axis Forces have studied British culture, norms, and institutions to determine how to use the strength of the British for the Axis Forces' World War III grand strategy. And Sir Moore has played directly into the Axis Forces' hands. When MI6 is unintelligent, the world is in crisis.

    Autonomous interdependence is a hilarious phrase when the word neocolonialism exists.
    The partnership developing between Russia and China was obvious 30 years ago if you've ever read anything written by Halford Mackinder or his acolytes. Brzezinski described the worst case scenario for the West in the 90s and the current generation of political leaders have followed that as their exact blueprint because they are taking their orders from international capital instead of the other way around as it goes in the East.

    Some comments , The EU has various attitudes , the mediteranean countries are OK with Russia as a good commercial partner while the easterners see Russia as a threat
    they are devoted to the US not so much with Bruxelles
    Germany is torn in the middle
    for the US "military industrial" constellation and their political advocacy one can perceive that while the Army is focusing on Russia , the Navy see China as the first opponent
    the result is antagonizing both
    China know that their very prosperity can be destroyed by a US naval blockade , thus Russia provide a "back door " , not a big one but enough not to be strangled in a matter of months
    one can suspect that the US want to keep the EU in a state of dependency , selling them their weapons at all cost avoid the emergence of an Eurasian trading block
    or God forbid , an EU independent military with an independent weapon industry
    the US provoked the present conflict , weapon and energy sales are doing great but this created advances toward a larger EU wide weapons manufacturing
