Aug. 22, 2024 (EIRNS)—While it might seem more politically acceptable to claim that the actions of the Anglo-American NATO elite risk provoking war, it is more accurate to say that they intend to provoke war.
These maniacs refuse to tolerate any challenge to their foundering “rules-based order,” and are willing to risk it all to prevent another system from coming into being. Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, they think.
Rather than end the fighting in Ukraine by working through peace negotiations, Ukraine’s supposed “allies” are treating that nation as a weapon to be used against Russia, and afterward discarded. In a post-World War II “first,” Lithuania has begun construction on a base where German soldiers will be stationed only 20 km from the border of Belarus. The fact that Russia has not already responded to the Kursk offensive by using nuclear weapons means that all of Russia’s red lines can be ignored, argue the British and their tool Zelenskyy.
Will enough countries and leaders say enough is enough? And will they know what to do instead?
South Africa has blocked an order for tens of thousands of artillery shells ordered by Poland. Romania’s former intelligence chief denounced Ukraine for its Kursk offensive, which is indirectly bringing all of its weapons suppliers into direct conflict with Russia.
The largest party in Switzerland opposes the government’s plan to jettison the nation’s storied neutrality by joining the EU’s PESCO military program.
A growing chorus of voices from Australia and New Zealand reject AUKUS (the Australia-U.K.-U.S. agreement), calling it “a mistake of existential proportions.” Instead, those two countries are “beautifully placed to nurture and defend a different model of relationships between the prevailing power (the U.S.) and the rising power (China).”
That new relationship is cooperation, on the basis of the shared needs and aims of humanity. Russia and China just signed agreements to collaborate on nuclear science research. China-Africa trade is growing.
Meanwhile, the United States, which will be holding its presidential election on November 5, is perhaps best characterized as suffering from a consuming rot, leaving a hollowness that some are eager to fill with fervent hopes and beliefs, even if they make no sense.
Consider the hollow candidate of the not-very-democratic party, Kamala Harris, who won precisely zero delegates during her 2020 run for the party’s nomination, has given zero in-depth interviews since being anointed as the candidate-apparent, has zero policy pages on her eerily empty campaign website, and who is, incredibly, campaigning using messaging that completely disassociates herself from her current role as vice president! Is the idea to present her as a blank canvas upon which the hopeful may project their own imagined views of her policies?
The most important election in the United States (and elsewhere) is the choice to elect yourself to take up the role of leadership.
