The unfolding shift taking place from an imperial rules-based order to a new paradigm is to be seen in the recent 2 1/2 hour phone call between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was rightly characterized by Russian strategic analyst Fyodor Lukyanov as a sign that “real diplomacy has returned.” There is the real chance, Lukyanov noted, that there will be real negotiations, but there are two extremes to be avoided. He said, “One is the illusion that everything will be resolved quickly and painlessly, and the other is the cynical belief that any agreement is fundamentally unattainable.”
Of course, the British Empire and its European “allies” are determined to painlessly maintain the illusion that no peace agreements can be reached, and are acting right now to sabotage any normalization of relations between the U.S. and Russia. On Tuesday, the German parliament voted to uncap its budget and prepare for massive military spending to deter the supposed Russian “threat,” ignoring the fact that German voters have overwhelmingly voted against the current coalition. Today, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is convening a meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing” to further the effort to put NATO “peacekeeping” troops in Ukraine.
The other tools in the British arsenal include setting off new waves of violence in Southwest Asia, where the U.S. has just begun a bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen, and Israel has officially broken the ceasefire agreement negotiated with Hamas and have killed over 400 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as of yesterday. In respect to Trump’s actions in Yemen, conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson has his expressed opposition, noting that “the costs of future acts of terrorism on American soil may be even higher.”
The new dynamic emerging from the Trump-Putin phone call has the potential to bring about a coalition of nations from all parts of the world, most emphatically Russia, India, China and the United States, into a new global security architecture by which conflicts can be resolved peacefully, and with no ill-will towards the other. Our initiative to end the special relationship between the British Empire and the U.S. must be pushed, along with the work of Schiller Institute Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche in bringing about a “new security and development architecture” for all nations of the world.
Today’s speaker will be Prof. Cliff Kiracofe, President of the Washington Institute for Peace and Development and former senior professional staff member of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
