In case anyone reading this is too young to be aware of the fact, both Russia and China strongly opposed the USA, UK and their co-conspirators attacking and invading Iraq. But as we know they went ahead anyway. Later, after at least 100,000 had died we learned that the basis of both the attack and invasion were at least flawed if not faked.
However, as the nations who attacked and invaded Iraq essentially run the United Nations and every single news source you may ever have encountered across the mainstream, Iraq was done at almost no cost to the criminals who were determined to do the deed. Oh, there were slight tremors, but no earthquake as they surely would have been if it had been China or Russia instead of them.
Due to the leaders of all western powers considering that they are superior to all others and that it is essentially impossible therefore for them to do wrong or be disciplined by any kind of action against them the whole thing basically disappeared. The very idea of the leaders who instigated the crime against humanity that was the second Iraq war should be punished in any way, or that their populations who had largely supported them should, was simply out of the question.
The collective West is then essentially immune to the norms of international law. They can do what they like to whom they like whenever they like with virtually total impunity. And when they do they expect zero change in the status they hold or the way other nations relate to them. They demand utmost respect at all times, no matter how many laws they break or people they slaughter based on fabricated realities.
It’s a neat trick if you can get away with it, isn’t it?
And they have gotten away with it for a very long time now. This is because they have run most things for so long and have the means to do great harm, in one way or another, to anyone who gets uppity and attempts to stop them. They are in the arm-twisting business and have had the leverage required through myriad means to hit those who face up to them in any way, and hit them hard. You may have noticed however, that this ability is distinctly on the wane.
The days when the planning of global blackmail, potent threats and mass slaughter was all in a day’s work for the western elites until relatively recently. They abused the situation they found themselves to the max while it persisted. All nations not kow-towing to their power found themselves treated to the equivalent of international bullying. The tough guys on the block meant business and they had the arsenal of weapons to back up their loud-mouthed belligerence. But as we can see now, two particular residents of the global neighbourhood have been making regular attendance at the gym.
The two well-muscled newcomers to the streets around the locality have started flexing those muscles. And unsurprisingly, the others in that locale who were intimidated by the snarling threats of the resident bullies have begun moving to positions backing the new guys. This has resulted in two changes. The first change was reflected in the two bullies gathering their cronies around them. They were able to do this as the gang had been tight-knit for so long now that this unity had become a habit and two because the two primary bullies could still do severe damage to the others in the gang, especially the gang leader.
This is where we move from this metaphorical situation to the present global reality. The USA (the gang leader) and its henchman (the UK) are in the process of maximising the strength of the gang as a whole. Germany, France, Italy, Poland and others have been organised for a number of years in an attempt to bring down the newbie powers, Russia and China. The first target being Russia. The West Gang (as we’ll call them) used very well known tactics employed by bullies everywhere.
You know how this goes. You may have experienced it yourself or observed it close at hand. Or perhaps you have seen it on your tV or at the movies. The technique hardly varies. You just keep prodding. Keep the pressure up. Fire insults at the target. Trip up the target whenever possible. Spread gossip all around and ensure their side of the story is never told. And last of all, avoid the target having any chance to respond. Pressure and more pressure, prodding, tripping up and insults… drive the target to doing something that will “justify” you kicking that target when its down and never let up, not for a moment. Then, when the target finally responds you point at it as the obvious “guilty party”.
So it has been with Russia. Heaven forfend that it should have border security. Deny it any rights in that respect. Get right up close and stare malevolently in its face. Dare it to do something. Deny every attempt it makes to find a peaceful compromise position, betray its every confidence and laugh in its face as it twists and turns to find a way out from the trap being set for it. Organise events that show the country in the worst possible light. Slander its leaders from dawn to dusk on a daily basis through every political and media source possible. Drive the nation into a corner and apply all the pressure you can organise to get the explosion you need to drive a geopolitical dagger right in its back.
Meanwhile a facade of sanctity, of enormous and impenetrable defence around yourselves. Do all you can to convince western populations that you are the innocent and injured party in all this, a white knight only intent on doing good and saving the world from evil. Do you see how this works? It works devilishly well, wouldn’t you say? You have become that villain with the lovely smile that people used to hiss at, as the movies. Only now you have created all the scripts that people at “the movies” see playing out on their screens and you have them right where you want them… believing in you.
The movie audience in question has been given a shot of amnesia. Iraq and the rest hardly seem real somehow. There is no lingering shock. It’s all conveniently forgotten within the comfortable propaganda soup in all 57 flavours that is the oh so materialist West today. Entertainment and comfort foods have taken the place of insight and brain nutrients for most now. And for the most part they sway to your instructions like fantasy sheep at a farmyard rock concert.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria… vague, misty, half-memories of something uninteresting compared to which fast food joint will be next to be frequented, what blood and guts action movie to watch tonight, and later… what news anchor to stare mesmerised at as he or she tells you how evil Russia is. Isn’t that the way of it?
And of course they talk about RUSSIAN propaganda and misinformation. Himmler and Goebbels had it right, if you’re going to tell a lie, make it a BIG one, and accuse your enemy of what you are doing yourself.
Just as the Ukrainian regime does every day that dawns.
I wonder who they learned that from… huh?
