After emerging from the cold war in the early nineties as the lone superpower, the U.S. steadily grew weaker, its supremacy stalled and stymied by failed wars and adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and several other smaller spots. As well as its deep internal chronic problems, deep divides and uncontrolled inequalities. It didn't take too long to fill this gap, Russia and China evolved into more formidable powers, military for one, economically for the other.
A partnership of these two will lead to a better position for supremacy that will challenge a world order shaped by American norms and rules, as well as weakening all or most of our allies. It is starting with invading and subduing Ukraine, and will hit many other spots, including the greater Middle-East and Israel, and eastern Asia, hence the changing and modified policies plus the pseudo neutrality of many assumed allies shifting positions, and the joy and the sheering of many individuals around the world, driven by pure jealousy, envy and hatred to America.
The purpose of attaining and asserting dominance in any realm is to avoid accountability of the dominating and domineering. The U.S. and Israel in modern times, both mastered and excelled at this game, and could play all their dominating policies and imperialist ambitions with absolutely no impunity, Europe or several European powers played this same game for centuries prior to the last few decades within Europe and on the world scene. Now the game is changing, it's being taken over by China and Russia, or the alliance of both, if it really materializes, as many rivalries and obstacles are in the way.
At the end, if things don't go well enough for Russia in Ukraine, or the Russian/Chinese alliance, Putin could be removed in a pseudo coup, or claiming that he's sick or loosing it physically, and stop the entire adventure, but the long lasting results and consequences of the Ukrainian affair will have its impact on the world and its geopolitical management and structures.
By drawing clear parallels between these powers and the past history of hegemony and colonial acts, and present ones, even future events in store, as in China/Taiwan, or some new annexation of Arab territories by Israeli forces or Persian or Turkish powers, even Russian further domination of more neighboring countries and not so close ones, should be the main focus of the entire global scene, as a deterrent to very likely catastrophic apocalyptic scenarios ending the world and life as we know it.
While the Russian invasion of Ukraine opened up and fortified several fronts, in America itself and Europe, as well as most of the industrialized world, internally and externally, it surely strengthened Atlantic NATO, and the European union, as well as American /European cooperation and trust, and all southern and eastern Asian and Pacific industrialized and advanced countries, it's to be seen if this cooperation will endure if the situation further escalates to other spots of the world.
The present conflict surely didn't improve much of the situation through the Middle-East and the Arab world in general. Which will remain a weak spot in any future new world order. The Russians and Chinese are surely advancing their agendas, and quickening their steps to exclude America and its allies from any real influence or even the ability to interfere or set foot in the M-E entirely, America is slowly handing it all to Israel, and Europe is not interested enough, what might not be calculated is if Israel doesn't prove to be the good ally Americans believe it is, and shifts positions according to its own interests and hegemonic aspirations, otherwise it might be the next big looser in the area if and when the U.S. pulls out of it.
But finally who cares, I don't think in all honesty this possibility is seriously considered by anyone at this time, except Israel itself playing the neutral chord left and right, and trying to forge different alliances, protec-ting its own security and future colonial expansions and share of the pie.
My, as always, profound thanks to all my good readers, stay safe and well.
