Russian's Vladimir Putin said the ongoing situation in the blockaded Gaza Strip is a
"humanitarian catastrophe." The Russian president clarified that the principle of "collective responsibility," in the Gaza case, where the elderly, women, children and entire families die, defies logic and decency. However, decency has nothing to do with the liberal world order's plans for us.
Mr. Putin also defines the New World Order as "the same old hypocrisy, double standards, claims to exclusivity, global dominance, to preserve the essentially neocolonial system. The Russian leader went on to encapsulate the goals of the Gaza catastrophe and the broader conflicts in an ongoing West versus East conflict.
"The goal, in my opinion, of all these actions is obvious - to multiply instability in the world, to divide cultures, peoples, world religions, to provoke a conflict of civilizations - all according to the well-known principle of 'divide and rule.'"
But the question arises, "Is President Putin right?"
We can find the answer here without reaching too deeply into history. Looking back at when Yugoslavia was a solid society between the NATO bloc and the Soviet Union, "divide and conquer" is the lesson. In a paper by
Ronald D. Cox from 2020 entitled "U.S. Imperialism and the Disintegration of Yugoslavia," the author says the purpose was to "strengthen and expand the purpose of NATO during the post-Cold War period." The United States intervened with a broader mission: expand NATO and protect access to oil supplies.
Karen Talbot, in her paper entitled
"The Real Reasons for War In Yugoslavia: Backing up Globalization with Military Might," the analyst described the U.S.-led breakup of Yugoslavia as an imperialist blueprint. Here is an excerpt from the piece from Social Justice/Global Options in 2000:
"The United States and its NATO underlings clearly were emboldened by their "success" in bombing Yugoslavia, by their earlier bombing of the Serb areas of Bosnia, and by their victories in the other remnants of Yugoslavia? Croatia, Slovenia, and Macedonia. Burgeoning military alliances, with the U.S. at the helm, is now more likely than ever to try to intervene similarly against any country that refuses to be a new-world-order colony by allowing its wealth and labor power to be plundered by transnational corporations."
Moving past then-President Bill Clinton's boasting that the NATO alliance can "Do it now. We can do it tomorrow, if it is necessary, somewhere else." The 23,000 bombs dropped (including depleted Uranium munitions) on Yugoslavia in 79 days were the end of a nation of great potential and the start of a process. By 2001 and the 9/11 terror freak show, it became clear that "somewhere else" meant Afghanistan and Iraq. The plan was, and is, to fragment the Middle East, to protect American and Israeli oil and strategic interests there, and to subdue any resistance to the liberal order. All Americans see how these multi-trillion-dollar wars concluded. So, I won't elaborate here.
