THE NEW RUSSIAN CENTURY

Empires rise and fall. This has been a constant geopolitical reality down the ages. In our time the empire of the West is falling. One nation above all others has heroically assisted its decline.

The entire western world is in steep decline. The USA, its primary leader without democratic mandate, is in the process of decapitating itself through its Ukraine and Israel policies. Collateral damage is being felt across its allies in the UK and European Union.

Meanwhile, the nations of the global south are treating the West’s demand that they criticise and ostracise Russia with disdain. In fact they are drawing ever closer to Russia, cooperating ever more fully with her seeking to trade and take advantage of her bounteous resources.

The geopolitical world has clearly reached an extremely important watershed moment. The power to command, dominate, manipulate and threaten the entire world from Washington and Whitehall is dissipating steadily on a daily basis.

In Ukraine it has all gone wrong for the western powers. Ukraine was supposed to be a battering ram with which to crush the population of Russia and make them turn against and oust Vladimir Putin from power. The Ukraine-effect was supposed to destroy the Russian economy while terminally weakening its army.

Instead of the above Vladimir Putin is more popular than ever, the Russian economy is growing at a rate of 3.5% currently and the Russian army is larger, more competent and stronger than ever.

BRICS, of which Russia is a leading member along with China, is expanding and will reach forty members if all those applying are accepted into its ranks. Many of those applying were erstwhile allies of the USA and UK which must surely be a signally painful fact for those nations. It can now be said that the majority of nations on the planet now oppose continued western hegemony. This is a startling change to be remembered when western politicos talk of ‘The International Community’ as if it’s meant to convey the majority of nations. The West has lost the right to speak in this way.

As one power falls another rises.

China is by far the greatest power facing the USA and its proxies. China is the economic peer competitor to the USA and a constant expansion in its influence is being felt in areas the West has considered its own fiefdoms until now. We can see the U.S. and its proxies doing all they can to undermine the expansion of China’s win-win economic connections with other nations across Asia and beyond. Its war against China is still at the nascent stage with the main battles still ahead.

It is none other than Russia however that has taken upon itself to resist the desire of the USA and its allies to shore up its much sought after hegemony, global control through full spectrum dominance of air, land, sea and space with surveillance powers encompassing every last living soul worldwide.

Russia it is that reflects the shining spearhead against the waning, but still powerful, forces of the collective west. Russia was the power to stand firm and state, “Thus far and no more!” against the tide of U.S. belligerence moving steadily toward it. In Syria and now in Ukraine Russia has and is defending the East against the predatory ambitions of the West.

In Syria Russia stepped in after four years in which the USA, UK, France, Turkey and others sought to use proxies to bring down Bashar al Assad unleashing an unstoppable terrorist horde who would have undoubtedly installed a caliphate there if not defeated. Russia was their nemesis. Russia it was, through its powerful intervention, removed their threat along with the Syrian Arab Army and relegated the terrorists to the corner of Syria that is Idlib.

In Ukraine Russia is inexorably defeating the collective west even as the western powers do everything in their power to hinder Russia’s inevitable success in achieving the goals it set itself. The Donbass region will transfer in full to Russia within the next six months and quite possibly much more. Any attack upon this new Russian soil will be dealt with severely, sending a very definite message to those opposing Russia.

The Ukrainian regime will capitulate or cease to exist. There are no other options than these two. Its western backers will also be made to sign up to a new security architecture for Europe that includes the security in perpetuity of Russia. If it does not agree to this then Ukraine may well be made to fail completely as a viable state and mostly be subsumed into the Russian Federation and its sphere of influence. The war between Russia and the collective west will then continue with Russia united in opposition along with most of the rest of the world.

The message to the West is that Russia has fully regained its status as a sovereign world power capable of facing down any threat directed at it, that it has regained full confidence and competence across all important fields of endeavour, that it has assembled a coalition of many extremely powerful friends and now fears absolutely no one

Russia has gained the admiration and respect of the global south rather than its criticism through its robust military posture regarding the adventurism of the USA, its proxies and their tool, NATO. Nations are lining up to join Russia in the BRICS network, some of them long time allies of the USA and western world in general. In fact these nations were reluctant allies of an ever-aggressive western world that they feared. Now there is an alternative protective force that can shield them from any further attempts by the West to coerce them into servitude.

It is Russia that has been gaining all the while as the West, seen as an agent of chaos and instability across the global south and in Asia, has steadily lost influence. The disastrous regime change wars of choice instigated by the West post 9/11 have brought it into disrepute as an untrustworthy friend of ally, more a threat than friend in fact. The way the U.S. found it easy to break its word over the Iranian nuclear agreement showed just how untrustworthy it can be.

NATO, rather than not moving an inch further east as promised by multiple political elites of the West to Gorbachev, has desired to move right to Russia’s doorstep. We now see the response that Russia has given that betrayal. Now, with Iran and Turkey (a NATO member of course) we see a widening of the response against a western world requiring immediate quarantining.

As the West spirals down into debt, social discord and interminable disunity, economic disaster and unlimited disharmony the nations of Eurasia reflect the polar opposite where profitable interconnection and unity are the order of the day. Local currencies are being used ever more frequently in place of the dollar thus closing another route for western belligerence.

Much of the above is being led by Russia. And much of all else by China. Truly these two in mutual respect and heightening cooperation are leading a process that will eventuate in the creation of a new, multipolar world. In the background, China lends support and provides moral encouragement to the nation and leader who are at the forefront during the facing down of the West.

That nation is of course Russia, and her president, Vladimir Putin.

So, all of the above being taken into consideration, we can say without a shadow of a doubt that we have now entered THE NEW RUSSIAN CENTURY.
