It’s no secret which group of nations feel compelled to interfere worldwide. Of course they wouldn’t call what they do interference. For them it is dressed up as some sort of holy duty, a calling, a mission, something that they would say their God wants them to do. It appears in fact to bear a close resemblance to a compulsion. In the USA they even talk of it being their ‘manifest destiny’. What is the basis for this mania to interfere across the planet acting as do, constituting the self-authorized, eternally sanctified, police force of God in Heaven Himself?
The attitudes behind this vain-glorious self-admiring and aggrandizing viewpoint go back a long way. The mythologies involved disregard certain acts of mass criminality such as the genocide of the native population of the USA, the Slave Trade and the entire era of mass exploitation that was the British Empire. These mythologies also ignore, in the rabid desire to export western “values”, the ugly realities that are ever-faster starting to rot their social fabric from the inside. Take a look at the tent cities, the living zombies addicted to opioids and the recent widespread riots in the UK No matter what criminality and degradation is to be found in western nations this seems hardly to matter. Others must mirror their nations and often at gunpoint.
Don’t you think the nations being targeted might be a little resistant to the process of regime change interference, subversion of their traditional cultures, subjugation by outsiders and general disdain for their national sovereignty? Don’t you think the populations in these countries might want to resist and reject this outside interference? Yet the United States remains the wealthiest, most powerful and influential nation on the planet and retains the ability to manipulate most of the regulatory bodies that might view their acts as contrary to international law. What choice do the resistant nations have when the representatives of the western nations come calling?
Until now there was very little that weaker nations could do when the political elites of the USA in particular leaned on them to change their ways to reflect U.S. interests. For a number of decades there was the Soviet Union that could be depended upon to provide some protection. Many African, Middle Eastern and Latin American nations took the opportunity at that time to align themselves with that great power. Of course this alignment with the main peer competitor of the USA and its allies fell apart at the end of the Eighties. So, what to do now? For a few decades nations were once again ‘at the mercy’ of U.S. power, influence and perpetual manipulation. Then, finally things began to change.
The changes within the geopolitical balance that were disrupted by the fall of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact began slowly. Slowly but steadily Vladimir Putin restored order and began massively improving Russia’s economy. Concurrently, and from an earlier beginning by several decades China rose to become a new peer competitor to the USA. Together they created the BRICS group along with Brazil and India. Since its inception BRICS has moved steadily to center stage in the world of trade and economic growth. Over the last half dozen years the number of countries wishing to join the group has soared and now stands at forty plus nations. This is the new security umbrella and defender of national sovereignty that has been missing since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Yet even with the arrival of a BRICS group growing ever stronger and taking into its embrace erstwhile allies of the West such as Saudi Arabia, the western powers are insisting on continuing their interference. It looks fairly obvious that the western elites simply cannot countenance the fact that they will no longer ‘rule the world’ and make it act in their interests at all times? This thought is evidently anathema to them, something that destroys too much of the kudos, status, perks and manipulative ability to glean all they want from the world under the guise of seeking to protect and better it. All those buzzword you have heard time and time again cover the fact of their failure to accept they will have to live in a multipolar world eventually. Those terms, ‘democracy’, ‘freedom’, and ‘western values’ are all attempts to cover for criminality.
The values held sacrosanct within the halls of the United Nations will not be heard about from these western elites. They claim to have higher and better “values” as created by them, values which they wish to force down our throats whether we want them or not. This, above all other clues, is the one that tells you the real interests of these elites. These are to retail western control, not the shared control of the UN. Western dominance, not a balance of peaceful order as visualized and embodied within the UN. Western control, surveillance, targeting, judgment and punishment quite outside the good offices of the United Nations. The only way to stop the western elites continuing their wars of choice to retain and gain more influence is the process of multipolarity through BRICS and similar non-western institutions. It’s going to take time and a whole lot of effort, planning and cooperation but of all processes now in train, it is the most vital.
Ultimately, if we arrive at a fully multipolar world where power is shared across the planet and is not located in any particular region then we will have the best shot ever at a high level of stability where sovereignty is fully protected, there is tolerance for diverse forms of governance and we can glory in our differences within a world where war is very much a thing of the past with interference by the most powerful fully quarantined, where at long last something to a true global civilization to be proud of can emerge.
