by system
failure
The start of
current decade revealed the most ruthless face of a global
neo-colonialism. From Syria and Libya to Europe and Latin America,
the old colonial powers of the West tried to rebound against an
oncoming rival bloc led by Russia and China, which starts to threaten
their global domination.
Inside a
multi-polar, complex terrain of geopolitical games, the big
players start to abandon the old-fashioned, inefficient direct wars.
They use today other, various methods like brutal proxy wars,
economic wars, financial and constitutional coups, provocative
operations, 'color revolutions', etc. In this highly complex and
unstable situation, when even traditional allies turn against each
other as the global balances change rapidly, the forces unleashed are
absolutely destructive. Inevitably, the results are more than
evident.
Proxy
Wars - Syria/Libya
After the US
invasion in Iraq, the gates of hell had opened in the Middle East.
Obama continued the Bush legacy of US endless interventions, but he
had to change tactics because a direct war would be inefficient,
costly and extremely unpopular to the American people and the rest of
the world.
The result,
however, appeared to be equally (if not more) devastating with the
failed US invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US had lost total
control of the armed groups directly linked with the ISIS terrorists,
failed to topple Assad, and, moreover, instead of eliminating the
Russian and Iranian influence in the region, actually managed to
increase it. As a result, the US and its allies failed to secure
their geopolitical interests around the various pipeline games.
In addition,
the US sees Turkey, one of its most important ally, changing
direction dangerously, away from the Western bloc. Probably the
strongest indication for this, is that Turkey, Iran and Russia
decided very recently to proceed in an agreement on Syria without the
presence of the US.
Yet, the
list of US failures does not end here. The destruction of Syria and
Libya created massive refugee flows which have proved that the
European Union was totally unprepared to deal with such a major
issue. On top of that, the latest years, we have witnessed a rapid
rise of various terrorist attacks in Western soil, also as a result
of the devastating wars in Syria and Libya.
Evidence from WikiLeaks has shown that the old colonial powers
have started a new round of ruthless competition on Libya's
resources. The usual story propagated by the Western media, about
another tyrant who had to be removed, has now completely collapsed.
They don't care neither to topple an 'authoritarian' regime, nor to
spread Democracy. All they care about is to secure each country's
resources for their big companies.
The Gaddafi
case is quite interesting because it shows that the Western hypocrites were using him according to their interests.
Whenever they wanted to blame someone for some serious terrorist
attacks, they had a scapegoat ready for them, even if they had
evidence that Libya was not behind these attacks. When Gaddafi
falsely admitted that he had weapons of mass destruction in order to
gain some relief from the Western sanctions, they presented him as a
responsible leader who, was ready to cooperate. Of course, his last
role was to play again the 'bad guy' who had to be removed.
Economic
Wars, Financial Coups – Greece/Eurozone
It would be
unthinkable for the neo-colonialists to conduct proxy wars inside
European soil, especially against countries which belong to Western
institutions like NATO, EU, eurozone, etc. The wave of the US-made
major economic crisis hit Greece and Europe at the start of the
decade, almost simultaneously with the eruption of the Arab Spring
revolutionary wave and the subsequent disaster in Middle East and
Libya.
Greece was
the easy victim for the global neoliberal dictatorship to impose
catastrophic measures in favor of the plutocracy. The Greek
experiment enters its seventh year and the plan is to be used as a
model for the whole eurozone. Greece has become also the model for
the looting of public property, as happened in the past with the East
Germany and the Treuhand Operation
after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
While
Greece was the major victim of an economic war, Germany used its
economic power and control of the European Central Bank to impose
unprecedented austerity, sado-monetarism and neoliberal destruction
through silent financial coups in Ireland,
Italy and Cyprus. The Greek political
establishment collapsed with the rise of SYRIZA in power, and the ECB
was forced to proceed in an open financial coup against Greece when the current PM,
Alexis Tsipras, decided to conduct a referendum on the catastrophic
measures imposed by the ECB, IMF and the European Commission, through
which the Greek people clearly rejected these measures, despite the
propaganda of terror inside and outside Greece. Due to the direct
threat from Mario Draghi and the ECB, who actually threatened to cut
liquidity sinking Greece into a financial chaos, Tsipras finally
forced to retreat, signing another catastrophic memorandum.
Through
similar financial and political pressure, the Brussels bureaufascists
and the German sado-monetarists along with the IMF economic hitmen,
imposed neoliberal disaster to other eurozone countries like
Portugal, Spain etc. It is remarkable that even the second eurozone
economy, France, rushed to impose anti-labor measures
midst terrorist attacks, succumbing
to a - pre-designed by the elites -
neo-Feudalism, under the 'Socialist' François Hollande, despite the
intense protests in many French cities.
Germany
would never let the United States to lead the neo-colonization in
Europe, as it tries (again) to become a major power with its own
sphere of influence, expanding throughout eurozone and beyond. As the
situation in Europe becomes more and more critical with the ongoing
economic and refugee crisis and the rise of the Far-Right and the
nationalists, the economic war mostly between the US and the German
big capital, creates an even more complicated situation.
The decline
of the US-German relations has been exposed initially with the NSA interceptions scandal, yet, progressively, the big
picture came on surface, revealing a transatlantic economic war between banking and corporate giants. In
times of huge multilevel crises, the big capital always intensifies
its efforts to eliminate competitors too. As a consequence, the US
has seen another key ally, Germany, trying to gain a certain degree
of independence in order to form its own agenda, separate from the US
interests.
Note that,
both Germany and Turkey are medium powers that, historically, always
trying to expand and create their own spheres of influence, seeking
independence from the traditional big powers.
Economic
Wars, Constitutional Coups, Provocative Operations –
Argentina/Brazil/Venezuela
A wave of
neoliberal onslaught shakes currently Latin America. While in
Argentina, Mauricio Macri allegedly took the power normally, the
constitutional
coup against Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, as well as,
the usual
actions of the Right opposition in Venezuela
against Nicolás Maduro with the help of the US finger, are far more
obvious.
The special
weight of these three countries in Latin America is extremely
important for the US imperialism to regain ground in the global
geopolitical arena. Especially the last ten to fifteen years, each of
them developed increasingly autonomous policies away from the US
close custody, under Leftist governments, and this was something that
alarmed the US imperialism components.
Brazil
appears to be the most important among the three, not only due to its
size, but also as a member of the BRICS, the team of fast growing
economies who threaten the US and generally the Western global
dominance. The constitutional coup against Rousseff was rather a
sloppy action and reveals the anxiety of the US establishment to
regain control through puppet regimes. This is a well-known situation
from the past through which the establishment attempts to secure
absolute dominance in the US backyard.
The
importance of Venezuela due to its oil reserves is also significant.
When Maduro tried to approach Russia in order to strengthen the
economic cooperation between the two countries, he must had set the
alarm for the neocons in the US. Venezuela could find an alternative
in Russia and BRICS, in order to breathe from the multiple economic
war that was set off by the US. It is characteristic that the
economic war against Russia by the US and the Saudis, by keeping the
oil prices in historically low levels, had significant impact on the
Venezuelan economy too. It is also known that the US organizations
are funding the opposition since Chávez era, in order to proceed in
provocative operations that could overthrow the Leftist governments.
The case of
Venezuela is really interesting. The US imperialists were fiercely
trying to overthrow the Leftist governments since Chávez
administration. They found now a weaker president, Nicolás Maduro -
who certainly does not have the strength and personality of Hugo
Chávez - to achieve their goal.
The Western
media mouthpieces are doing their job, which is propaganda as usual.
The recipe is known. You present the half truth, with a big overdose
of exaggeration. The establishment parrots are demonizing Socialism, but they won't ever
tell you about the money that the US is spending, feeding the
Right-Wing groups and opposition to proceed in provocative
operations, in order to create instability. They won't tell you about
the financial war conducted through the oil prices, manipulated by
the Saudis, the close US ally.
Regarding
Argentina, former president, Cristina Kirchner, had also made some
important moves towards the stronger cooperation with Russia, which
was something unacceptable for Washington's hawks. Not only for
geopolitical reasons, but also because Argentina could escape from
the vulture funds that sucking its blood since its default. This
would give the country an alternative to the neoliberal monopoly of
destruction. The US big banks and corporations would never accept
such a perspective because the debt-enslaved Argentina is a golden
opportunity for a new round of huge profits. It's happening
right now in eurozone's debt colony, Greece.
'Color
Revolutions' - Ukraine
The events
in Ukraine have shown that, the big capital has no hesitation to ally
even with the neo-nazis, in order to impose the new world order. This
is not something new of course. The connection of Hitler with the
German economic oligarchs, but also with other major Western
companies, before and during the WWII, is well known.
The most
terrifying of all however, is not that the West has silenced in front
of the decrees of the new Ukrainian leadership, through which is
targeting the minorities, but the fact that the West allied with the
neo-nazis, while according to some information has also funded their
actions as well as other extreme nationalist groups during the riots
in Kiev.
Plenty of
indications show that US organizations have 'put their finger' on
Ukraine. A video, for
example, concerning the situation in Ukraine has been directed by Ben
Moses (creator of the movie "Good Morning, Vietnam"), who
is connected with American government executives and organizations
like National Endowment for Democracy, funded by the US Congress.
This video shows a beautiful young female Ukrainian who characterizes
the government of the country as "dictatorship" and praise
some protesters with the neo-nazi symbols of the fascist Ukranian
party Svoboda on them.
The same
organizations are behind 'color revolutions' elsewhere, as well as,
provocative operations against Leftist governments in Venezuela and
other countries.
Ukraine is
the perfect place to provoke Putin and tight the noose around Russia.
Of course the huge hypocrisy of the West can also be identified in
the case of Crimea. While in other cases, the Western officials were
'screaming' for the right of self-determination (like Kosovo, for
example), after they destroyed Yugoslavia in a bloodbath, they can't
recognize the will of the majority of Crimeans to join Russia.
The war
will become wilder
The Western
neo-colonial powers are trying to counterattack against the
geopolitical upgrade of Russia and the Chinese economic expansionism.
Despite the
rise of Donald Trump in power, the neoliberal forces will push
further for the expansion of the neoliberal doctrine in the rival
field of the Sino-Russian alliance. Besides, Trump has already shown
his hostile feelings against China, despite his friendly approach to
Russia and Putin.
We see,
however, that the Western alliances are entering a period of severe
crisis. The US has failed to control the situation in Middle East and
Libya. The ruthless neo-colonialists will not hesitate to confront
Russia and China directly, if they see that they continue to lose
control in the global geopolitical arena. The accumulation of
military presence of NATO next to the Russian borders, as well as,
the accumulation of military presence of the US in Asia-Pacific, show
that this is an undeniable fact.
"Despite the rise of Donald Trump in power, the neoliberal forces will push further for the expansion of the neoliberal doctrine in the rival field of the Sino-Russian alliance."
ReplyDeleteNeoliberalism has no military, foreign policy or geopolitical doctrine or content. What you mean is neoconservative, which does.
Neocons have been taken over by the neoliberal doctrine.
