It must be clear to everyone by now that we live on a planet heading toward global catastrophe. What possible factors are driving western political/media classes irresponsibly toward such an outcome?
There appears to be no limit to the degree to which western leaders will risk the lives of every man, woman and child on the planet for the sake of their ambitions in Ukraine.
At each escalatory step forward the chances of a nuclear conflict with Russia increase, yet this prospect does not appear to influence the thinking of western leaders in any way. Thus we stand on a precipice unparalleled since the height of the Cold War where at least some diplomacy mitigated the risk. In these dark times all efforts regarding diplomacy have been long abandoned by the western powers. This derogation of political duties puts every one of us at risk.
War and ever more war is the answer to all those who call for peace through negotiations. As the puppet of the western powers Zelensky obeys the command to avoid negotiations with Russia at all costs, even to the extent of having a law passed banning them. We have never before been on such a steep slope to catastrophe as we are now. Madness reigns across the entire panoply of the western political superstructure. Group thought has replaced all semblance of rationality within a war mode mentality that drives each western leader to forego any perception of reality, totally blinded as they are by dogma.
The delivery of statements making a bad situation even worse arrive daily through the creation of ever more divisive soundbytes that make dialogue between the sides ever more unlikely. Accusations against those they regard as ‘the enemy’, are constantly made in the hope of maintaining the support of their populations while making the possibility of a resolution to the war they are waging impossible. This mindless drive forward cannot but lead to the day when the cumulative anger and misunderstanding, along with the hatred developed through ever-increased losses brings about the final showdown threatening extinction of the entire human race.
What could have caused the heedless irresponsibility now displayed by virtually every western leader? What possible factors could generate such an abandonment of responsibility? Is there some desperate method to all this madness? Surely the genesis of the insanity being displayed across the West is of such a degree that there can only be a few candidates to explain it. They must be in plain sight, no? How could they remain hidden considering the obviously unlimited degree to which a “solution” is being sought. What might these factors be?
1. The Fall of the West & Rise of the East
We can see quite clearly from the many statements and indeed policies of western leaders in recent decades that a primary concern for them is the economic rise of nations not bound within their orbit of control. Some of these nations have been, until recently, subject to successful manipulation by the West, others have successfully avoided such manipulation. The trend is clear, toward independence from western influence and control and toward the building of regional power centres that can successfully resist the power the West has previously enjoyed. Quite clearly the desire of the West to maintain its dominance over such states could provide a powerful motivation to interfere with this process.
2. The Continuing After-Effects of 9/11
9/11 and the western reaction to the events of that day relate directly to the concerns in 1. above. 9/11 was a massive blow to the power, prestige and seeming invulnerability of the West in general. It broke the myth of supremacy, of unquestioned power and therefore too, of the wielding of unrivalled influence maintained by the West during living memory. The events of that day showed that the great power the USA and its allies wielded had been successfully challenged by the use of violence, the use of which the USA and its allies had successfully wielded against those it itself sought to overthrow. The response to 9/11 by western leaders, to reassert their dominance and manipulative control once again also provides a powerful and continuing motivation for its actions now.
3. The Need of the West Powers to Establish Permanent Control through Surveillance
Again related to 1. And 2. above, this factor represents a powerful motivating force driving current events. In the days after 9/11 the response determined upon was quite clear. a) To eliminate all entities who could possibly present a future 9/11-type threat. We have seen the regime change operations that were part of this goal from Afghanistan to Iraq to Libya and Syria with quite obvious plans for others such as Iran. We can safely add a number of others and most certainly Russia and China. On accomplishing the goal of eliminating and replacing all of these a universal surveillance system is intended to insure no future breakout from a West-controlled enclosed system designed to sustain western control, dominance and global hegemony for all time to come.
These three factors in combination have the required level of importance to western political elites and their compliant mass media to explain the relentless and apparently limitless push forward we see occurring now. If you can conceive of any factors you feel have greater power to motivate those driving us forward, ever closer to the potentially cataclysmic outcome, please describe them in the comment section below.
Will the madness now being generated constantly by the West finally be recognised for what it is, braindead irresponsibility fed by a degree of hubris, ambition, mindlessness and irresponsibility previously unknown in even the darkest times of the recent past? Or will the leadership of the West plough on ever more mindlessly to the final days of us all, unheeding of the vast dangers they usher us toward? Knowing the stakes and the potential outcome due to all factors involved we must all surely choose which side of the divide to stand on, that of a multipolar world where power is shared and in balance, or toward a prison planet where all power is held by one region of the world alone. And all the while cognisant that the struggle now ongoing could very well mean the end of us all.
