Do we realise what is happening, right now and for the past decades?  I submit that we do not.  It was said recently that most people in the west do not know how to apply critical thinking to the geopolitical apparencies, they just jog along and vote every few years hoping that it will get better.  It will not.

The US has been publishing papers by the Rand Corp for decades now, where their long term intentions were laid out, but nobody bothers to read and certainly not to analyse.

America under Trump has not changed its spots.  It still wants the “American Century”, it still wants American hegemony, and it still gets much of what it wants.

The American Financial-Military-Industrial complex rules the American political community, no matter who is in “power”.

The war in Ukraine, the coming “war” in Taiwan, the Syria-Iran situation, are not what you may think they are.

Remember, the USA tried twice before to provoke Russia into war – the American Chechnya project and the Georgia project were serious internal conflicts designed by America to cut up Russia, and hopefully to effect regime change.

Both failed.  Russia learned some serious lessons which It applied when America inspired the Maidan process in Ukraine – infiltrating the country, militarising it, with the defacto NATOisation.  Russia watched and eventually, Russia acted.

America cannot stand Russia.  It could not stand communist Russia and it cannot stand Christian Russia.  And America cannot stand China.  It cannot stand a multi-polar world.  America thinks it motly ethnic mix is somehow superior to all other countries, and it is born to rule.  This the historical evolution dating back to the ethnically pure days following their own civil war and the protestant religiosity of those far off days, filtered down through their present toxic culture to today.

Back in the 2012-2022 period, there was substantial evidence that Europe was turning towards Russia, starting joint infrastructure project plans, trading, discussing the Belt and Road idea with China. Europe, Russia and China share an enormous continent, you can take a train from Paris to Peking, with only two changes. It makes very good sense for getting along well with your neighbours and sharing prosperity.

America could not stand this, and through NATO and diplomatic pressure it brought to the surface unelected leaders of institutions who would oppose the pivot towards Russia. The political capture of Europe, capture of European information (MSM)  and using this to convine the Europeans that working and trading with Russia was somehow not in their best interests, but that fighting with them was in their best interests.  We see this today particularly in the UK and Germany jumping in with the American-provoked war in the Ukraine, and thereby they completed their planned swing of Europe away and back towards America.

What is our (UK/Europe) gaining by being part of the mythical American empire?  Why is it better than a trading bloc with Russia and China?  America is now beginning a trade war with us – right now.  Why on earth are we siding with them against Russia?

We live in a delusional miasma of pseudo information designed that we cannot know the truth.  We are – from our idiotic politicians down, being manipulated by American money and American pressure at all levels.  From the Guardian to the Times, to the BBC we are being guided to do what best suits American interests.

Whether you like America or not, you cannot get away from the fact that that country of 320 million across the Atlantic is clearly dominating both political parties in this country, and most of Europe besides.

We voted to get out of the claustrophobic EU, only to be beholden to America – why?
