ON THE ROAD TO ARMAGEDDON IN UKRAINE WITH NO PLAN B. WHY SO?

Why has the situation in Ukraine become the overwhelming, almost single focus, of western foreign policy with apparently no plan B but only a steady march toward ever more escalation?

SCENARIO 1: Russia Wants To Rule The World (Or At Least Europe)

In this scenario providing a reason for the ‘all or nothing’ western plan now in progress is that the western powers have data, covertly retrieved from Russia, that the Russians plan to take over the world, or at least invade and take over Europe. If this is the case, barring the risk of revealing sources and methods, wouldn’t you think they would tell western audiences what they have gleaned, at least in outline? Instead we have received only speculation from both western officials and commentators alike on this point.

If Russia was poised to invade and occupy Europe why, by common perception, is Russia taking such a long time on its takeover in Ukraine? Besides the fact that no Russian official has stated Russia wants to occupy Europe where would the Russians come from to not only accomplish the task but presumably to run and control everything afterwards? The days when armies of tens of millions could be put together, trained and paid for are over, especially for Russia with an economy that has been compared with that of South Korea.

Something else is clearly at stake regarding the West’s overwhelming desire to throw money at Ukraine with a view to defeating Russia there?

SCENARIO 2: The Good Guys Of The West Want Freedom & Democracy For All

You know this meme well from all the regime change wars of the recent past that the USA and its allies have engaged in, in the recent past. It is portrayed in similar terms as the Crusades mounted by Richard the lionheart and others against the Arabs of Jerusalem. The good guys have decided to engage the tyrants and slay all those metaphorical dragons rescuing the equally metaphorical princesses. It has nothing to do with maintaining influence, power and lucrative sources of energy or income.

I suspect most of those reading this will have long discounted these saintly reasons for the expenditure of vast amounts of blood and treasure involved in these regime change wars of choice. Power, influence, resources and hard cash are much more persuasive elements when it comes to political and geopolitical decision making. Besides, all done at the cost of half a million Ukrainian lives? What kind of gift to Ukraine is that?

So what does this leave? Why must we all be taken to the brink of Armageddon due to a dispute between two Slavic nations that despite eight long years of trying (by one side at least) could not be resolved?

SCENARIO 3: The West Is Losing Its Long-Held Global Dominance & Can’t Have That

The last few decades, other than see western regime change wars fail, has seen nations such as China and Russia rise to become a combined peer competitor of the West. No one should underestimate the positive features that come with global dominance. The ability to manipulate nations far from your shores, persuade them to listen to you and be swayed by you due to your power, and to therefore set the stage for wealth accumulation, guaranteed energy flows for you and your endless power accumulation, is quite an asset to lose.

These new kids on the block, Russia and China, are obstinately resistant to doing your bidding as you are used to. They want to go their own way rather than do things your way. What does this signify to the political elites of the West whose institutions are universally set up to take advantage of a situation where the West is in power… always? All the perks of power that have been accepted as guaranteed are now at risk. And, if the situation is not dealt with urgently, every last perk could disappear one after another till at last they are all gone? How would THAT feel? 

This last scenario, in my view, is the one that most likely lies behind the seemingly endless risks the western powers are willing to take in Ukraine, risks that could put the rest of us, kept well outside the corridors of power, directly on the road to Armageddon. 

THE WEST’S QUADRUPLE WHAMMY: DEMILITARISED, INDEBTED, DEINDUSTRIALISED & SIMPLY *PLAIN DUMB*

Could the West get any worse? You bet. All it will take is for nothing to change at the top, for the dumbest mofos ever, who clawed their way up the greasy pole of power, to remain dumbly in place.

Arsenals across the western world have been drained of weapons. Supplying the Ukrainian regime with a vast assortment of weapons has been an abiding priority for over two years now.  None of the weapons supplied so far, including the so-called gamechangers, have changed the course of the war. The Russian military has continued to incrementally grind down the cannon-fodder sent to oppose it along with decimating every piece of military equipment soon after its arrival. This attrition of weaponry that parallels the attrition of Ukraine’s manpower has left the USA and its proxies woefully short of military supplies.

There has been a lot of specious talk in recent months about the non-existent plan that Russia has to conquer all Europe. Perhaps it isn’t such a good idea to suggest this to Russia when you have drained your warehouses of most of the weaponry and ammunition you would need to fight the Russian’s off? The already significant demilitarising of the USA and Europe however has not brought about a call for its halt in high places. New tranches of spending for both Ukraine and Israel are now in the process of being agreed both in the USA and EU. This is just plain dumb.

The size of the North American national debt is fast approaching thirty four trillion dollars. Yet the spending spree by western warmongers shows no sign of letting up. Billions are being spent apparently gleefully as if we are approaching the end of the world and nothing much matters any more. What’s a few more billions among friends? Mere chicken feed. It’s all going to end in a few puffs of smoke soon anyway. More plain dumb behaviour as these warhawks are bringing it all on. Don’t they have something far better to do than invite Armageddon?

Deindustrialisation of the USA must surely be taking its toll just as the weapons industry reaches peak profits. The average North American is shouting louder with each day that passes about how the ‘American Dream’ has turned into a nightmare. As infrastructure falls increasingly apart money is siphoned off to nations far, far from the USA’s borders. And talking of those borders scant funds appear to be flowing toward the southern U.S. border where illegal immigrants do flow constantly northward. More dumb behaviour here.

The deindustrialisation of the USA’s proxies in Europe has reached a stage that North America will only approach over the next year or two. Germany, once the unchallenged economic and industrial powerhouse of Europe is descending rapidly with one dumb decision after another being enthusiastically made. The Germans are aghast at the sheer stupidity of their current woeful crop of political elites. They see the hard work of generations being thrown away in just two short years due to the unwarranted decisions being made in what were meant to be attacks upon Russia. All have backfired bringing every greater pain at their source. Dumb, very dumb and even dumber.

Back in the good old USA, a very old blunderer by the name of Biden is making sure that the debt mountain there is virtually impossible to climb. Throwing good money after bad as his son Hunter was wont to do seems to indicate the worst possible trait in that family. As the saying goes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And has there been anything quite as corrupt in recent years as Hunter Biden’s well-heeled sinecure in Ukraine courtesy of his father. The Burisma affair was about as blatantly dumb as it gets, corruption, nepotism and influence-peddling in plain sight. 

What next for the woefully dumbed down West? Could it possibly get even dumber? How so? With the re-election of Joe “Where the hell am I” Biden and his gruesome cast of neocon zombie warmongers. That would outdumb all those other dumbnesses now wouldn’t it?  

THE WEST’S QUADRUPLE WHAMMY: DEMILITARISED, INDEBTED, DEINDUSTRIALISED & SIMPLY *PLAIN DUMB*

WHY WE MUST FIGHT FOR A MULTIPOLAR WORLD

Must we put up with our world as it has been until now and is arguably more now than ever before? That is, a world constantly at war? Or is there an alternative future we might aspire to & fight for?

The first reason why we must fight for a multipolar world is simply because the alternative is well known to us and is essentially a world always at war.

The second reason is that the alternative, if the currently dominant regional power, the western world, succeeds in its quest to become not only dominant regionally but eventually globally, the ultimate outcome will be a virtual prison planet.

The collective west is seeking to subdue all powers outside its current orbit, to weaken and subvert them in order to subsume them under its control. This quest encompasses both reasons above in that:

The likelihood is that the collective west’s goal of regime change for all nations not under its control will never succeed, at least not in our lifetime and most likely not ever. However, the wars initiated will breed ever more conflict leading to the ‘forever war’ scenario envisaged by some.

 In the extremely unlikely event of the collective west achieving its goal of subduing and replacing all current national leaderships and systems of governance and replacing them with proxies that accept collective west leadership then the prison planet scenario will emerge.

There were times in recent history when it seemed that we might overcome the scourge of war as an ever-present reality. However, looking at the world as it is today we can see that this was a vain hope if present geopolitical realities continue without substantial change.

In the unlikely event of the collective west, led by the United States gaining full global control after subduing all nations not now under its control, we will find ourselves increasingly monitored for risks to the new global system of governance that would come into existence with the supreme dominance of the West. Surveillance from near space would become a global reality. Hardly a single gathering, phone call, email or financial transaction would escape logging, and where considered necessary, follow up action. George Orwell’s ‘Big Brother’ would well and truly become our everyday reality.

If you adhere to the school of thought that says, “If you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear”, i.e. that global monitoring would be a good thing in that policing, and therefore personal safety, would be enhanced. However, if you feel that ‘Big Brother’ knowing so much about you is a threat and would be abused by those in authority then you will agree that this is an unwelcome eventuality.

A unipolar world where one power completely dominates all others or a near unipolar world where one region is constantly instigating and fighting wars to become the universal power with ‘full spectrum dominance’ can be quite easily seen as a world where fear of one kind or another will certainly dominate.

A multipolar world where power is shared among nations, where each nation has inviolable sovereignty no matter what form of governance prevails is, I would argue, a world far more likely to realise goals such as reasonably permanent stability and every prospect to deliver peace. Nations who share power and who prioritise trade above all else where agreements are formed outside of potential areas of disagreement such as the religion practiced or system of governance will surely have much less reason to fight wars. With the most significant reasons for war having little to no priority, i.e. religion and politics, the business of building bridges between cultures can progress far more successfully than now.

The urge of the collective west to impose its religion, values and political structures on others with the aim of converting all nations into its own likeness, often by subversion, sanctions, propaganda or regime change wars, is the primary cause of the instability and perpetual conflict we see occurring today. This drive for supreme dominance is, more likely than not, doomed to fail, the reasons for which Professor John J. Mearsheimer has eloquently explained in his video lecture and book ‘The Great Delusion’. This does not mean that the western powers will ever be in any mood to give up this goal. Not unless some means is found to convince those leaders of a better way forward. Failing this the only remaining way to achieve this will be to build a great enough resistance to the western way of war.

The BRICS group best exemplifies the principles that would underpin a future multipolar world. Nations working together building trading networks of cooperation and mutually beneficial agreement, irrespective of diverse factors between them such as religion or systems of governance. A world therefore of sovereign nations of diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions and political modes of governance where tolerance not intolerance (of these factors mentioned) exists as a constant background to peace and stability.

These are the reasons why we must fight for a multipolar world.  

NETANYAHU & ZELENSKY: BETRAYERS OF THEIR NATIONS

Doubling down in the face of defeat where thousands are dying is plain evil. The world is increasingly waking up to the malignant effect western warmongers are having on us all & demanding they stop.

For whatever reasons lie behind their actions these two men have brought their nations to the brink of catastrophe and, in the case of Zelensky, to possible extinction. Nothing can justify their folly. No arrangement of excuses can massage away the disastrous decisions these two have made. The question of motive lies unresolved and the strong suspicion must be that they made some of their decisions based on their own personal political survival. In the case of Zelensky his physical survival may also have been a significant factor.

Netanyahu was in imminent danger of being convicted of corruption and given a jail sentence just before the recent violent event that engulfed Israel. Hamas, a creature of successive Israeli regimes to keep the Palestinians divided, initiated their attack just at the moment Netanyahu needed such a distraction and opportunity to puff out his chest as a war leader. This latter image-building gambit usually works well, taking minds off all other problems in a jingoistic surge of national unity. However, anyone who has paid any attention to the mood in Israel regarding Netanyahu will have seen this ploy is far from effective in his case.

Zelensky, essentially the tool of the USA, insists on ever more Ukrainians dying in a totally pointless conflict from the Ukrainian point of view. Zelensky, constantly doubling down on his rhetoric at the behest of a USA appears to seek not the restoration of Ukraine as it once was, but only his survival as the tool through which the USA determines to weaken Russia. It is clear the war is lost. No one seriously expects the tables to be turned at this point. The Ukrainians simply cannot win, this is patently obvious. Yet Zelensky throws ever more Ukrainians into the maw of the Russian meatgrinder… to no good purpose.

Netanyahu, like Zelensky, clearly believes he has nothing to gain by calling a halt to the process by which his nation is reduced to an economic beggar and global pariah and everything to lose. What does he care that tragedy befalls more families day after day on both sides as their brothers, husbands and fathers die in a battle seemingly without end? His political survival hangs on remaining in place. To relent is to sign his political death warrant. So it is also with Zelensky and not only his political demise, quite possibly his physical survival. The Ukrainian neo-Nazis are notably unforgiving and Zelensky’s life and that of his immediate family would certainly be at severe risk if he sought peace through negotiations.

These are men trapped in nightmares of their own making, both beholden to the USA and totally reliant on U.S. military aid to continue their respective wars. With no way out except personal humiliation they choose instead to remain in place presiding over ever more death, destruction and approaching unavoidable defeat. Do they delude themselves into the belief that they are engaged in a noble cause? Is this their methodology, a self-created amnesia through which they close their minds to their true motivations of personal survival and instead imbue themselves with a delusional noble purpose? Looking at the battle-hardened, ego-fuelled mentality evident in both men this appears a reasonable enough assumption.

As they urge others to kill and be killed is there any evidence of self-doubt apparent in these men? To all intents and purposes and in view of their stiff, seeming total resolve, it appears there is none. Just as all the murderous dictators of the past these two evidence no sign of doubt whatsoever, only a determination to continue until some overwhelming defeat subdues them to capitulation, resignation and the ignominy of national disgrace. Until they are removed from power the death toll in their nations will continue to rise. While they wield the levers of power they will continue to drive their nations down. These are men with no future, two arrogant war criminals, prisoners of their vicious ambitions, lapdogs of cynical American elites and unconscionable betrayers of their nations.    

WITH THE WEST, ISRAEL AND UKRAINE ARE AUTHORS OF THEIR OWN MISFORTUNE

There is a reality that cannot be spoken of in the West. It cannot be accepted and must be totally denied. Every effort will be made to deny this reality and the guilt of those who brought it about.

The days when the USA and its allies could come to the rescue of their compliant proxy states when they overreach their capacity to defend themselves during wars of choice, are clearly over. The declining ability of every one of the western powers to even sustain themselves without massive, ever increasing unsustainable debts means that they have come to the end of their immunity for any further crimes against humanity they commit.

From this point onward malignant regimes such as those in Israel and Ukraine must stand alone and pay the appropriate price for any further activities mixing the previously deadly mix of supreme arrogance and mindless hubris. The criminal entities of the West can no longer act as their bodyguards or wield muscle at the United Nations to strong arm the world’s nations to comply with their wishes.

Time is up for the mafia-like West and its murderous pursuit of sustained dominance. The future for its political elites is going to be increasingly bleak as they realise the full extent of their fall, not only from power but just as importantly, from grace. Nations such as Saudi Arabia, which were close allies of the USA and the West in general at one time are now reacting to them as one would to a very bad smell. As the West falls so do others continue to rise and those rising are far more likely to be real and perpetual friends than the western powers who have turned out to be no friends at all.

The western powers have acted as global bullies, coercing nations to do their will and obey their commands, virtually always against their own interests. The West has acted until very recently as a wholly exploitative force using its military and geopolitical force to threaten other states with economic, financial or military destruction. Can anyone wonder why these nations now turn away from their torturers and exploiters with a sneer of disdain and instead seek to join those making plain their opposition to the western crimes against humanity committed with impunity until now?

The obvious cases for the continuing and deepening malaise within the West as it exposes its increasing weakness to the world are Israel and Ukraine. Israel has lost its genocidal attack upon the Palestinians in Gaza. The USA, its patron is now indelibly linked to the mass murder being perpetrated by its wicked child Israel. Each day sees an ever greater humiliation building for the entire bastard nation that the West forced on Palestine and for those who continually attempt to minimise its unconscionable wickedness. 

Netanyahu’s criminal regime, by slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of children in Gaza will fully deserve its pariah status and the coming economic collapse of Israel as a viable state. They can blame no one but themselves, aided and abetted by the equally criminal nations of the West who are now fully exposed as the sponsors and avid supporters of genocide. We should hear no more sanctimonious words from them regarding specious claims regarding their moral and ethical superiority and their upholding of global human rights and so-called exceptional western values.

After the ultraviolet insurrection and coup in Kiev in 2014 against the democratically-elected president and government of Ukraine the seal was set on the second geopolitical disaster now providing a secondary gaping wound in the edifice of western superiority. The Ukrainian regime is yet another abortion brought into being by the West and the second abomination to expose the increasing weakness of the western coalition of nations. The desire of the western powers to bring down and break up the Russian Federation has delivered yet another self-inflicted significant blow to themselves.

The downfall of both Israel and Ukraine became inevitable as the strength of those opposing the long-term brutal malignancy of the West grew to a point that allowed others to express their independence. India is one case among many where appeals by the collective west to show unity against Russia failed completely and links to Russia were instead maintained and indeed strengthened. Nations queuing up to join the BRICS has grown and grown providing the most potent expression of abandonment of the western bullies. The global majority is now firmly on the side of Russia and China in defiant rejection of those nations in the west who held them by dint of military and economic threat and covert subversion until now.

There will be no going back. The future belongs to wiser heads who seek a world where a balance of power is the goal and never again the fiefdom of any single nation or group of nations. Within that world where trade is the priority, not terror, where agreement, not aggression is the order of the day and bridges are built rather than burnt, it may be that there is room for a much reduced Israel and Ukraine, however, this remains to be seen. This after it is fully recognised that they are both clearly authors of their own misfortune.     

THE WESTERN PLAN TO RULE THE WORLD WILL CONTINUE TO FALL APART

There's no Plan B. It's all or nothing for the western powers. After 9/11 they planned a course leading to a prison planet governed by them for their safety. But that plan is going horribly wrong.

It was all going so well. The Soviet Union had just been successfully undermined after almost a half century of trying. The United States and its allies reigned supreme. The ‘Unipolar Moment’ had arrived. There could be nothing that could stand in the way of a world where every nation was a liberal democracy. It was, as Francis Fukuyama had written, ‘The End of History’. 

What could possibly go wrong?

In the late Nineties Russia had descended to become an economic basket case. Western advisers and dubious Russian elites along with the Russian mafia began selecting pieces of it to carve off for themselves. Yeltsin had taken over in a violent putsch and the western powers celebrated what they saw as the first candidate for liberalisation. 

Then Yeltsin chose Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin as his successor. Putin was at first accepted in the West. This congenial relationship lasted all the way from 2000 to his Munich speech in 2007. This speech sounded the death knell of any future, mutually beneficial relationship between east and west regarding Russia, and, though it was not perceived as such in the West at the time, it also sounded the initial muted death knell of the ‘Unipolar Moment’.

Just as Putin was letting the western powers know that Russia would not submit to being a subservient lackey at their beck and call, China was inexorably rising economically toward delivering an even louder death knell for that ‘Unipolar Moment’ that had seemed so exquisitely long-lasting only moments before. From 2007 onward then we can see the era we are now in, of multipolarity, emerging and emerging strongly.

As the United States and its proxies began losing their grip those who held the reigns of power started to become increasingly nervous. The subsequent wars of choice after this period were not only the result of the western reaction to 9/11 but also a reaction to, and attempt to reverse, their rapidly failing dominance. This period of western elite fears over their loss of manipulative control and resultant aggression is ongoing, as can be seen by the Ukraine war.

Russia became the main target of the western allies, even though its economy and therefore power was far less than that of China. It was to be Russia that would be made to collapse and have its president and system of government undermined and replaced. Only after the matter of Russia had been resolved would the West’s full attention be fixed on China. Meanwhile, other, less important nations would be bent to the western will by whatever means were considered necessary.

Sanctions, both economic and financial along with subversions of a more covert kind, were the two main weapons after the military “solutions” of the previous regime change ops proved too messy and to an important extent counterproductive. Here we can see the poisonous seeds planted by the West that would increasingly lead to its headaches of today. Abusing its powers so obviously, the entire collective west, began to make enemies of some of what it had considered as its best friends.

Chief among the ‘best friends’ the West had until this time and lost is Saudi Arabia and it is clearly the one that hurts most to date. By abusing any nation that stepped out of line, as the USA saw it, began making many enemies, or at the very least began causing nations previously oriented towards western power, to become non-aligned. The most obvious indicator on this score is the number of nations who have joined the BRICS group in recent times and the far greater number who have expressed a wish to.

Saudi Arabia joining the BRICS must have felt like a kick in the face to the western power elite. Now with others lining up to kick them, perhaps up to seventy nations altogether, it must surely be wreaking havoc among many western corridors of power. Their efforts to push back and regain dominance are currently receiving one hit after another. Yet, instead of resigning themselves to sharing in a balance of power they continue to double down in the level of their aggression.

In both Israel and Ukraine we see the continuing drive by the West to use blatant aggression rather than anything approaching diplomacy and rationality to resolving the most major geopolitical issues of the day. It is clear that the western powers have no reverse gear and no plan B in regarding to their fight against the loss of the ‘Unipolar Moment’ and its restoration. They are determined to have ‘full spectrum dominance’ globally and nothing less will do.

Having said the above it is becoming quite clear that the collective west is losing and losing more clearly by the day. Fighting like a mortally wounded animal against a growing number of those it perceives as “enemies” it has largely abandoned rationality in favour of brute force. However, that brute force is, not for the first time, working against it rather than for it. It is almost as if the West has a death wish, however the reality is that it has simply left itself with no other option, completely dedicated to its ‘all or nothing’, ‘do or die’ response to its failing grip on the world.

For the West every indicator says it will be ‘die’ rather than ‘do’. The odds grow ever longer against its braindead arrogance, hubris and flawed mythologies of western power. There will be no return to the ‘Unipolar Moment’ and certainly no movement toward the prison planet the western powers visualise as the ideal outcome. Multipolarity will prevail with all its promise of a balanced, peaceful and far more stable world.

THE WESTERN PLAN TO RULE THE WORLD WILL CONTINUE TO FALL APART

THE MADNESS OF MACRON’S BURNING AMBITION COULD GET THE WHOLE WORLD INCINERATED

 

Emmanuel Macron wants to emulate French president General Charles de Gaulle but without de Gaulle's tactical acumen. What are the chances that Macron's push for ever more war will have a happy outcome?

Emmanuel Macron sent a large group of French officers into Ukraine. Russia destroyed them all in a missile strike and then listed their names for all to see. It was not only these men who were killed, additional French officers who arrived at the scene were also destroyed in a second strike. So, the present reckless words by Macron about sending even more Frenchmen to die in Ukraine are understandable, as is today’s announcement that France will send even more Caesar artillery pieces to Ukraine. The little Napoleon is stamping his feet in a rage. But his petulant tirades have the possible eventual outcome of the whole world getting burned.

Most of France’s NATO allies have spoken out in horror regarding Macron’s reckless statements urging him to shut up and stand down. All except for Britain and certain Baltic states who appear ready to contemplate the potential initiation of a third world war. 

If NATO troops are sent into Ukraine Russia has stated unequivocally that it will target them as belligerents. They will be categorised as mercenaries and targeted relentlessly.

Without doubt Macron will also be happy to allow F16 fighters, promised for delivery to Ukraine by mid-summer, to fly from French airports to attack Russian forces. Britain, Poland, Romania and those Baltic states mentioned above are likely to allow this also. Several statements have been made in Russia regarding this possibility. They make it clear that there will be strikes on those airports where F16s are stationed, regardless of their location.

We are approaching the ultimate crisis in Ukraine. The Russian military is making gain after gain with increasing numbers of Ukrainian military dead, wounded and deciding to surrender. It appears certain that within a matter of weeks Russia will initiate an offensive that will succeed in breaking Ukrainian lines, and delivering a defeat to the Ukrainian military and regime from which it cannot possibly recover. The chance for the Ukrainian junta to negotiate anything approaching a favourable negotiated peace will be gone. The western powers, and especially the insane leaders of France, Britain and Baltic states, appear ready to double down one last time. The risk is of course that it could turn out to be ‘the last time’ for many things, including the possibility of life on earth.

Macron and his fellow madmen are leading us all to the brink of the ultimate disaster. They appear totally blind to the resolve on the Russian side to establish the security of Russia once and for all against those seeking to destabilise and undermine it. For all our sakes we must hope that all these little Hitler’s and wannabe Napoleon’s are relieved of their duties and ability to command very soon. If not, then their burning ambition to destroy Russia may well mean we ultimately all burn together.
