Reporting on the East Asia Summit, RT the Russian official media outlet of the Russian Federation, quoted Sergei Lavrov on the world situation.
S.L.“Our American colleagues demonstrate permissiveness” for themselves in international affairs “every time they try to assert their dominance”
S.L.“The Americans have taken up a course of suppressing any independence,”
S.L.“understand the futility of a policy according to which you can just turn a blind eye to one situation, one crisis created by the US, and expect that everything will be more or less OK there,”
S.L.“They decided to turn Ukraine into a menace for Russia and for many years ignored the racist policies of the Kiev regime, which has been destroying everything Russian… they violated the principles of indivisible security, which they signed up for at the highest level and which they simply trampled upon,”
S.L.“Similarly, in the case of [US House speaker] Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, they [the Americans] ignored their own principles, which they proclaimed publicly,”
Antony Blinken response to Lavrov and Yi’s comments was also quoted.
A.B. “cease these actions.”
Putin did not invade Ukraine out of concern for the persecution of Ukraine’s Russian speaking minority.
World War One was not fought because an Arch Duke was assassinated in Kosovo.
World War Three will not be fought because an old lady visited Taiwan.
The underlying cause of global conflict and world war is the same as the underlying cause of pollution and climate change. Infinite economic growth on a finite planet, is running up against the natural and man made borders of the planet.
Nazi propagandists accused Poland of persecuting ethnic Germans living in Poland. They also falsely claimed that Poland was planning, with its allies Great Britain and France, to encircle and dismember Germany…
The Russian leader said his forces invaded Ukraine because a genocide was underway against Russian-speakers. People in Ukraine say that claim is a hoax…
Pat O’Dea is a trade unionist and human rights activist.
Click bait title on a confused argument.
Domain expansion overrules economics, trade, human rights, free speech, freedoms of expression or what ever and neutralizes all arguments.
That’s why war is bad for business in a global economy like the rules based order operated within western democratic nations. Proxy Wars aren’t just a simple conflict though technically they are civil wars, secessionist movements which is even worse for business than a conventional conflict.
Supply chains and trade routs are going to be harassed or blockaded. I completely forgot who said it but it goes something like “why shoot missiles at another nation when you can just sell them” which is a source of your average arms dealer and unfortunately it is a very prevalent mindset amongst corporations including New Zealand’s own AirNZ.
It’s an interesting phenomena the appearance of what I’d like to call the neutral corporation.
Companies that have representation within central government at the same time publicly involved efforts to reduce human rights and basically create Chad freindly fire zones. There’s a clear conflict of interest here one that seems to escape the notice of, just about everyone.
Very true that the ideology of infinite growth is the problem. This is why the American snake must have its head cut off.
