UKRAINE AND THE DEATH OF WESTERN HUBRIS

We are witnessing industrial levels of death in Ukraine. Hapless thousands of forced Ukrainian conscripts are being fed into a meat-grinder at the behest of western leaders and officials sitting very comfortably in Washington and London’s Whitehall.

These men, mostly given a week or two of rudimentary training, are dying to save the rear ends of people like Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak. Their mangled bodies are a mute epitaph to another death, that of western hubris.

We have seen this play out before, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and the Sudan. The oh-so-noble elites of the western world with its gloriously pure intentions, inflict massive death and damage on nations far from their shores, then depart to create a facade of lies with which to justify themselves.

Why have these terrorists in designer suits got away with this for so long? Why the impunity (while Vladimir Putin is called to The Hague)? What makes these death-dealing politicians and their complicit mass media news editors sacrosanct, far above the law? Perhaps because they created these laws but never intended them to apply to themselves?

The impunity from arraignment at war crime courts of law has provided all western elites with a sense of aggressive and completely irresponsible righteousness. Those of the North American ilk talk of having a ‘manifest destiny’. This apparently having graciously been handed to them on an exclusive basis by their god. However, we have seen this belief system acted out before during World War Two  with Nazi belt buckles emblazoned with the slogan, ‘Gott Mitt Uns’.

Across Ukraine currently and especially at the battlefront adjacent to the Donbass region, we see these disastrous mythologies play out, now remotely applied, once again causing horrendous levels of death and destruction. The hands-off, but equally murderous policy of using others as proxies, is a tactic that was also applied in Syria, Libya. It is now applied at its most remote in Ukraine. Washington, Whitehall and Brussels elites can keep their highly manicured hands spotlessly clean on Ukraine, posing as righteous saviours while issuing orders that directly bring about the mass carnage we are seeing now.

The impunity of western elite warmongers that has seen so much slaughter, instability, destruction and misery caused is now facing, in Ukraine, its greatest area of vulnerability to complete dissolution. It is clear that non-aligned nations are taking notice of this with great interest. The countries of the Global South and Eurasia now see their opportunity to get out from under the great dictator of the West’s thumb. Long held resentments against the North American, British and European bullies can now be fully expressed, old policies of alignment with them can now be abandoned and fresh policies toward more local and rising nations be formed and readily progressed.

Nations that might once have kowtowed to the western thugs and blackmailers are now queuing up to join Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa in BRICS, soon to be BRICS+. No longer will the western bullies hold sway with what are now rapidly empty threats. The western nations who became power-junkies over the far too many years they held sway are now losing their fix. They are weakening almost by the day, all heading into recession with inflation flaring out of control, their industrial capacities diminishing. Meanwhile both China and Russia their targets are experiencing economic growth and steadily lowering inflation.

Ukraine will be the ultimate humiliation for the collective West. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria each put a nail into the coffin of the western world’s totally out of control hubris. Butt the humiliation that is assured for the West over Ukraine will be the last nail required to see its end. At that point, surely only a matter of months away,  the entire world outside the West’s noxious perimeter can heartily celebrate the final death of the malignant hubris that has been the ugly and long-standing criminal signature of the West.
