For the first time in modern history the East can be on equal terms with the West, as the global dominance of the US and its allies comes to an end, former British prime minister Tony Blair has said.
Due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, “for a large part of the Western population, living standards are stagnating,” Blair noted in his annual lecture at the Ditchley Foundation on Saturday.
“Western politics is in turmoil – more partisan, ugly, unproductive; and fueled by social media,” which affects both domestic and international affairs, Blair said, arguing that Russia’s military operation in Ukraine “should become a pivot point reviving our [Western] sense of mission.”....
In order to stay relevant in the new environment, the West needs to develop a common strategy, “pursued with coordination, commitment and competence,” with higher defense spending to “maintain military superiority” while expanding so-called “soft power” by building ties with developing countries, Blair concluded.

The above quotes by Tony Blair in RT reveal the simplistic mind of the AngloSaxons. Might, force, war to control the world as the dominant civilisation.
China's rise and challenge to the western hegemony and dominance is not in war but in economic development, to see who can bring about a better world and prosperous world for everyone. China is building and building and helping the developing countries to improve their infrastructure to compete more effectively in the coming centuries. The only way forward to a better life is through better organisation, better infrastructure, better system and economic development...not wars, not instability, not constant conflict, tension and killings and bombings.
The West could do likewise, to build a better world for everyone. But no, that is not the western solution. The West would not compete fairly, to be better than China and the rest of the world by building a better world, better societies, better lives for all.
The answer from the West is to bring down China by force, higher defense spending, military superiority and war. The coming war with the West is inevitable for China and Russia. The West answer to their rise is to use a big stick, a big hammer, to hammer and beat them down. Not through competition to be better countries, produce and create better goods to improve the lives of the people of the world.
They had conquered and ruled the world for 600 years, using might and wars of oppression and suppression. This is the only solution and way they know, to continue to control and rule the world. White supremacy by force.

Going forward as suggested by Tony Blair, and like-minded idiots, there is bound to have wars.
Russia and China cannot sit idly by in order to watch how the West snatch away all that they have achieved over the last 77 years. They have to be very well prepared for the eventual World War 111. This will be not like any other Wars before. This will be a Nuclear War!
How do you prepare your nations for a nuclear war?
Mr. Mouse there is nothing to prepare. Better hope when nuclear war started u died of instant death then suffer the slow death later
Two-headed snaky BRICS member India a crucial partner for U.S. in countering China
America's highest-ranking Navy officer said India will be a crucial partner for the U.S. in the future, playing a key role in countering China.
"I've spent more time on a trip to India than I have with any other country, because I consider them to be a strategic partner for us in the future," Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of naval operations, told an in-person seminar hosted by the Heritage Foundation in Washington on Thursday. He was referring to a five-day visit to India last October.
"The Indian Ocean battlespace is becoming increasingly more important for us," Gilday said. "The fact that India and China currently have a bit of a skirmish along their border ... it's strategically important."
"They now force China to not only look east, toward the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, but they now have to be looking over their shoulder at India," he said.
The idea that the border clashes between India and China in the Himalayas pose a two-front problem for Beijing has been gaining traction among U.S. strategists.
"What the United States and Japan need India to do is to be as strong as possible in South Asia and effectively draw Chinese attention so that they have a major second-front problem," said Colby, the principal author of the 2018 National Defense Strategy under former President Donald Trump. India, in the meantime, draws the same benefit from China's difficulties in facing a strong U.S.-Japan alliance around Taiwan, he said.
A planned joint mountaintop exercise between the U.S. and India in October is seen as underscoring the potential second front for China.
The annual joint exercise Yudh Abhyas, which translates to "War Practice," will be held in the South Asian nation's Uttarakhand state from Oct. 18 to 31.
Local Indian media reports have said that this year's drills would take place at an altitude of over 3,000 meters in Uttarakhand's Auli region, less than 100 km from the Line of Actual Control -- the de facto border between India and China.
In an opinion piece titled "India has a stake in Taiwan's defense," columnist Brahma Chellaney wrote that Indian activities in the Himalayas could help Taiwan's defense. It would be "tying down a complete Chinese theater force, which could otherwise be employed against the island," he wrote.
But such a two-front strategy must be coordinated with the U.S., he added.
In Thursday's seminar, Gilday said that a potential fight against China will likely be trans-regional. "You just can't think of China through the lens of the Indo-Pacific. You have to look at the Indian Ocean, you have to look at their Belt and Road, their economic connective tissue, which is now global," he said. "You have to take a look at their vulnerabilities."
Currently in China, vast regions are suffering from record heat waves and drought.
Beijing should divert for its own use the precious water resource that is flowing from the Chinese Tibetan plateau to the Indian rivers of Brahmaputra, Indus. The Brahmaputra river accounts for close to 30 percent of India’s freshwater resources and about 44 percent of its total hydropower potential.
NATO: No Action Talk Only
'The fact is, while US government officials may make bold statements about the need to inflict harm, via proxy, on the Russian military through the provision of billions of dollars’ worth of weapons to Ukraine, it is the US which has had defeat inflicted on it in terms of the ongoing losses of its Ukrainian proxy military and the destruction of the equipment provided in support. The US, like its NATO allies, has proven to be very good at making bold pronouncements about goals and intent, but very bad at putting them into practice. This is the state of American ‘ambitions’ vis-à-vis Ukraine today – all rhetoric, no meaningful action.'

This kind of statements can now be seen in recent US (+ allies) action against China and Iran too!
Tony Blair is sleeping under a rock. China already had been pursing soft power over the last decade or two, helping poor countries rise above poverty by providing economic aid for infrastructure developments and certainly not for buying weapons from them. Building the BRI to facilitate the poor countries is the very requirement for them to progress, and this is what China has been doing.
What had the West been doing during the last few decades after WW2? All they think of is more wars, more regime changes, more veiled threats against the freedom of sovereign countrie to choose their alliances, and using the CIA and NGOs to destablise regions, so they can continue with their vile policies of divide and rule. Watch out ASEAN, the devil is sneaking into the house!
Now that Blair knows why countries are moving away from the USA and the West, he is saying the obvious, realising that what China and Russia already had been doing had turned the tide, decades ahead of what he is now just spouting. Common knowledge that he should be aware of ages ago.
Blair had lots of blood on his hands, complicit in fabricating all the fake evidence which he sold to the USA and the UN to start the war in Iraq, killing millions of innocents. Having been proven as blatant lies, why is this man not prosecuted for war crimes and still preaching his hogwash?
Blair is still full of vile opinions, still undoubtedly wanting to pursue the same policies of more military spending by the USA and the West for defence. That is a veiled testament to his evil intentions. The pursuit of more military spending is certainly not for defence but all geared for offence, the vile mentality espoused in the evil minds of the Anglo Saxon Whites.
Who is a threat to the USA and the West? Russia? Do not be conned, because NATO had all along, under the control of USA, been masterminding their threat towards Russia by encroaching ever more closer to Russia's borders. Any dumb person could see through the agenda of the USA and Nato, and you can't fool a person as astute as Putin. They are not his match in geopolitical play. Just look at the situation Putin has unleashed against Nato, and watch all the geniuses in USA and Brussels have being played by Putin like a violin. Spin all they want, but it will not change the reality of what is happening in Ukraine and the oncoming runaway train approaching the EU this coming winter.
India's is clearly being used covertly by the USA to counter China. And the Indians want it, because they are playing second fiddle to China. As a member of QUAD, there is no escape what their intentions are.
India as a member of BRICS is not a good idea. That is why the USA did not voice objections to India's membership of the BRICS. Common logic will tell us what a Trojan Horse is for.
Blair and Bush Jr are war criminals waiting to be charged and put to jail.
He has the arrogance to talk about starting another war against China. These white savages are planning to start WW3. They are the warmongers, the world's terrorists. But they use their media and the media of their stooges to slime China as expansionist and the aggressor. They can lie and cheat their blind believers, but they cannot con the rest of the world and HE up there.
The evil white savages would be destroyed for the good of humankind.
India is very happy sucking up to the Americans and getting the attention of the Americans, willingly to be exploited and to be a pawn against China and Russia. Yes, India is only useful as a spoiler, nothing more, nothing less. The Americans are fanning the ego of the Indians and exploiting their difference with China to drive the Indians into hysteria.
Under the American Empire, India would also be used by the Empire to do the dirty works. It would never be equal to the white men and would be suppressed when it is able to rise like China or Japan. At the moment, poor third world India is no threat to the evil Empire and can be used as a balls carrier.
Within BRICS, India is an equal partner, not a minor partner, a big guy to speak independent and not to be used or exploited by anyone. India would come to its senses one day that it is better to be treated as an equal in BRICS than a hound dog in the evil Empire.
India is a big guy indeed. Just watch some of the videos they made on Youtube. And we know just how big spinners they have become. Just that the facts do not support the spin. By a long shot!
By the way, Indian video sites are all about the ills of China, just like the West. Nothing more, nothing less.
The snakey Indians think too highly of their slum country. China is so busy with so many big issues to handle and has no time to be bothered with little India, but India, with nothing better to do, everyday spending their time day dreaming of being a super power and irritating China.
The irony is that they also know what is reality, that if China decides to give India a punch, they would not be able to take it. So everyday begging the USA to come to their aid.
Maybe they felt being left out in the super power rivalry between China and the USA and wanted some attention, hey, India is here, India is a super power, but who cares, no one notice India is around in the big game.
In a CNA Documentary, someone proclaims that lndia is a beacon for the World.
To be selected by CNA to be featured, the Guy must have the Substance to stake his claim.
