The New Great Game in Eurasia never ceases to thrill with extreme plot twists. The Big Three players remain the same: the US, Russia and China. The devil is in the concentric subplots.
In Washington, the deep state Russia
'policy' has revealed itself to be sanctions, sanctions, sanctions; because of Crimea, because of support for federalists in Eastern Ukraine, because of the MH17 tragedy.
Sanctions are targeting Russia's energy, defense and finance - and are fast on their way towards all-out economic war, which in itself is a declaration of war. As with Cuba; as with Iraq (until there was regime change); as with Iran (until there is a nuclear deal, and even that is a major
'if').
Beware the wrath of the Empire of Chaos. The prescription is always the same; sanctions; no holds barred geo-economic/political warfare; internal subversion (NED, assorted NGOs); and non-stop vitriol marinated in hubris.
In Moscow, there are no illusions; no matter what the Kremlin does on Ukraine, there won't be any
'reset'. Washington's sanction hysteria - which has far surpassed the level of containment - is even regarded as a means towards (what else?) regime change, Putin's huge popularity notwithstanding. No wonder US Think Tankland
is drooling about it.
Comment: This is what psychopaths think of humanity. Both Western and Arab regimes support this because they are vicariously paying homage to the truest form of psychopathic destruction, what Orwell called 'a boot stamping on a human face - forever'.
You reading this are unlikely to ever experience what is happening in Gaza, so you are physically safe.
But having seen what is happening, you are simultaneously being given a choice: to turn away, or to look at it and express what you feel about it.
Tweet about it, rant about it, protest about it, JUST SHOUT INTO THE ETHER ABOUT IT, but whatever you do, realize that staying silent may cost you very dearly.
This is a battle for the survival of human conscience. Gazans are dying in the streets, while billions of others are 'dying inside', cored out to make way for that vacuous, pathetic entity creature called 'post-modern man'.
Your fate is bound with Gazans' fate. Each silent voice is one more subverted soul.
