CHINA, RUSSIA AND THE NEW EURASIAN CENTURY

Empires, like civilisations, rise and fall... and the signs are usually obvious

As European “leaders” attempt to breathe fresh life into the dying American dream of global hegemony their actions seem destined to severely harm their own populations.

It was clear to me from a number of sources prior to Biden entering the White House that the foreign policy goal which was going to dominate his time as president was to create a semi-permanent division right down the middle of the planet. At that time I called this project ‘The Ice Cold War’. I defined it in this way due to what I believed would be the absence of true diplomacy, something that was still very much in evidence during the Cold War.

The signs and portents were all there. Biden was being urged (by those no doubt privy to the plans already agreed) to patch up all doubts and answer all questions regarding NATO. NATO was to be the leading edge of the spearpoint facing Russia and required the fulsome backing of every one of the nations within Biden’s refreshed cabal of Cold Warriors.

No stone was to be left unturned in the final push to save so-called ‘Western Liberal Values’ within the ‘Rules Based International Order’ that was to be set completely hard-faced against Russia, China and any others who dared live under any different codes of behaviour or agreement. The die was to be rediscovered and recast that had lain somewhat dormant or only partially used since the end of the Cold War.

The split in the world was to be made permanent for now, as a weapon of pressure upon those recalcitrant leaders and nations who persisted in wishing to forge their own path, free of the USA and all others insistent that they change their ways and mirror the West. No excuse to not kowtow and submit was to be given the slightest consideration. Western ways of doing things were not negotiable. They were adopted or your right to protective sovereignty was to be removed and the task of dismantling your societal structures and modes of governance was to begin.

This is the continuing bad dream for much of the world that we are living through now, the determination, in the dying days of their western empire, to resurrect its earlier notion of the post-Cold War years, of total supremity.

There is only one huge problem for this desperately sought shoring up of unipolar hegemony.

That problem is China. Russia in combination with Russia certainly and others such as Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen and Cuba, admittedly also. But China is the key factor which, unless there is some exceedingly dramatic event, will equal and eclipse U.S. power and influence. The key factor which will eventually unite Eurasia as the powerhouse of the world under a banner not of intolerant regime change and war, but of tolerance, trade, agreement and most importantly of all, peace.

China is already a superpower. The whole world sees this and will increasingly recognise it while maintaining contact, cooperating and creating opportunities with it. This is an unstoppable process at this point. With China’s ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ finding new partners constantly (Cuba being the latest in the last few days) the increase of China’s economy and the expansion of its influence is inevitable.

Despite the futile efforts of the USA, UK and EU to mount a rearguard action against China and Russia the process of Eurasia rising and the West declining appears inevitable. 

The West in general is riven with discord while Eurasia is largely unified. 

The West grows ever more indebted both on the national and personal levels while those in Eurasia save like no others and their national debts are comparatively low. 

The so-called leaders of the West continue to print increasingly worthless money through qualitative easing, unable to do anything more than increase their debt mountains. Meanwhile, China and Russia invest in gold making their currencies more solidly based and have begun increasingly to trade in those currencies rather than use the dollar. 

In terms of energy Europe is highly dependent on Russian oil and natural gas. Despite all the noise its mandarins make during their anti-Russia propaganda campaigns (designed during the throes of the ‘Ice Cold War’ wet dream, the practical realities of its situation and its dependency on Russia will very soon dawn on them. If not during this winter then very certainly the next. Yet another and higher capacity pipeline for natural gas will be laid from Russia’s Siberian gas fields through Mongolia to China. Once complete and providing China from the same Siberian gas fields that currently provide gas to Europe it will almost match the amount sent west. Western leaders should think hard about this fact and pray to stay in Russia’s good books instead of continuing their carping criticism of today. There are so many developments underway between China, Russia and those within Eurasia that the economic future for all of them is nothing but one shining vista after another. 

The Covid pandemic has made weak and debt-ridden western economies descend even further into a mire of flagging businesses and wild inflation. Meanwhile, Biden and others desperately pump more money they don’t have into the system. China and Russia, forced to look closely at their economies and trading partners more closely due to western sanctions and restrictions are honing their corporate and technological base to ever greater levels of efficiency.

The armies of the West are increasingly unable to deal in any effective way with the paper tiger dreams of their armchair general elites. The withdrawal from Afghanistan has left them demoralised and confused, anxious over what new disasters their so-called leaders will force them into. Meanwhile, Russia and China have honed their military systems into highly effective fighting forces. Russia’s military is now recognized as one of the best, if not the best, in the world. Having its Syrian experience behind it, it looks ready for anything. A range of hypersonic weapons are the collective cherry on top for the Russian military. Increasingly close cooperation with a powerful Chinese army and navy and the sharing of technology will make of them a daunting combined foe for the U.S., UK, EU and NATO forces.

Add up each and every one of the above advantages for China, Russia and its allies and you almost begin to feel sorry for the paper tigers of the West with their military, social, medical and economic failures piling up all around them. Almost… but not quite.

It all adds up to one thing…

THIS IS THE NEW EURASIAN CENTURY
