UKRAINE IS ONLY ONE OF THE VERY FIRST BATTLES OF A FOREVER WAR

 

The present conflict Russia vs The West with Ukraine as the proxy of the West needs to be seen in the context of falling western power in the face of the rise, not only of China and Russia in terms of financial and economic clout in the first place and intellectual influence in the second, but also of the nations of the global south. To a western world whose elites have totally internalised the notion that they are the guardians of our planet and that without them everything will go to hell, these threats to their continued status as world warders are terrifying and they are determined to do all they can to reverse this situation. For them there is no Plan B, only the shoring up of their power and the coinciding reduction of that of all others who do not agree to submission to them.

Putin in 2007, just a few years after 9/11 when the desire of the U.S. elites to see the USA become world hegemon in perpetuity and this desire became an absolute necessity (to them), told the assembled western elites in Munich that Russia was not signing up to submit to what he saw as a dictatorship. He stated unequivocally that Russia would not submit to be ruled by any nation or group of nations and explained why. Of course he also said Russia would fully cooperate with all other states on areas of mutual danger such as international terrorism and nuclear proliferation. But the assembled great and good of the West only heard and endlessly spoke about the first part. Putin, in 2007, became their public enemy number one.

So Putin was in their crosshairs. But of course not alone. There was (and still is) a long list of others. Initially distracted by Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria it naturally also includes a host of others. China of course, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba and now most certainly Brazil among others. As China and Russia gain in influence along with the nations of the global south the list increases rather than decreases. But the necessity for the western powers to achieve their goal of retrieving their necessary unipolar world, in essence a prison planet with them as warders has also increased.

For these reasons Ukraine will continue to be a tool applied by the western powers, not alone, but a tool among many still to be activated or re-energised. Only an eventual, hopefully economic, quarantining will stop them. Otherwise we are looking at a forever war indeed, something GW Bush and his people talked of, but one even more widespread and prolonged than even they envisaged.

The level of potential destruction is incalculable. As incalculable as the amount of money the western powers are willing to spend on what they see as an existential challenge which they MUST not lose. The destruction of the entire planet in even more than an economic sense appears better to them than losing what they see as their sacred right and requirement to remain absolutely dominant.

The western powers have all this fully justified to themselves. They brook no doubts within their communities of fellow elites. There is one narrative because there is one agenda. That agenda is for them to once more become supremely dominant, to have the power of overwhelming manipulative control, enabled always to set the required narrative through their elite media partners in coordination, as ever, with their military industrial complex executives.

Look to no end point in this struggle. China, Russia and their allies and partners across the global south and in Latin America see a multipolar world of shared responsibilities as they way to peace through trade and international agreements under the auspices of the United Nations. The nations of the collective west want to be able to call the shots virtually alone and at the very least with the announced compliance of meek "partners".

Threats, bribery and violent war are some of the tools the collective west will use to attain its goals. It is to be hoped that the majority of our world's population will recognise that no peace, harmony or true freedom can come by that route and will choose the far better path offered by those powers who are rising now. The 'Forever war' if it is to be brought to an end at all will come to one of two ultimate conclusions. The first, with the USA and its proxies delivering what will essentially be a prison planet where we are watched 24/7 from space and in turn watch all that we say in case someone hears about it and we are then cancelled. The second, a fully multipolar world where power is balanced across the planet with no one nation or group of nations telling all the others what they should do or not do in compliance with demands, a world where there is instead tolerance for diverse forms of governance and mutual respect and cooperation toward a permanent peace and true freedom become a reality.
