The biggest blunder by the USA must be pushing Russia
into the arms of China. Russia was in G8 and expelled to create G7,
which was the straw that broke the bear's back. Now Russia is in BRICS
and helping the group increase membership to overtake the G7 in terms of
GDP. The G7 no longer is a grouping of the rich nations, with countries
in the EU being crippled by the loss of cheap Russian energy. Germany
suffered the brunt of the miscalculation, but to Olaf Scholz it probably
is worth the price to pay. Japan, a member of the G7 is also paying the
price with its economy stagnating and even worsening over the decades.
One
pertinent comment by India's Foreign Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar
hits a raw nerve of the G7. He said that the G7 closed its doors to us,
so we formed our own grouping, meaning BRICS. India had been invited to
sit in at the G7 meeting to observe, like a dog observing what is going
on when its masters talk to each other. This is more a humiliation than
an ego boosting move. India was so eager to join the G7 to create
another G8.
China and Russia were once ideological foes, but over
the decades been demonized by the USA pertaining to issues over NATO
expansion towards the Russian border, inviting Ukraine to join NATO so
that the USA can place nukes to threaten Russia, sabotaging Russian
expansion of the energy supply to the EU through the Nord Stream
pipelines which the USA and NATO subsequently destroyed. Forget about
who destroyed the pipelines, as the real culprit behind the scenes is
none other than the USA, that had been eyeing the energy market in the
EU.
Russia and China coming together is a match made in heaven, thanks to the USA. God must be watching.
Of
course, the West is trying to split the alliance between Russia and
China, claiming the alliance will not last. Whether it last or not is
not that important as nothing is permanent. The most important objective
is coming together to get rid of the US$ hegemony by forming BRICS,
which will free the world from the tyranny of sanctions, blackmailing
and threats by the USA using the US$ hegemony. It also will remove the
unfair privilege of the USA being able to print toilet papers at will to
flood the world and export its inflation globally.

Now it is not just Russia being pushed into the arms of China. Iran, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are the major countries being pushed by the USA towards China, among smaller countries in Africa, South America and even ASEAN.
ReplyDeleteThe major areas of blockade that the USA hopes to use in times of conflict with China is slowly being dismantled by China and Russia, both of which are setting up new transport lanes to overcome them.
ReplyDeleteThe Panama Canal is facing a slow death due to climate change. China is exploring an alternative canal system inside Nicaragua that will make the Panama Canal suffer a peaceful and natural death. This is important and detrimental for the movement of USA's military assets from the Atlantic to the Pacific in times of conflict. The USA can use the Panama Canal with ease today, which is discreetly under its control, but not the waterway inside Nicaragua if constructed.
China is exploring building an alternative to the Suez Canal as well. This is the other choke point that the USA had in mind to counter China in the event of hostility. Well, now the Houthis can do much to render the Suez Canal obsolete in case of conflict. The impact will be mutual for both the USA and the West as well as China. China meanwhile is looking at Pakistan and Afghanistan for its oil transportation route from the Middle East into Western China.
The Straits of Malacca had been the other choke point that the USA intended to use against China, but China is planning with Thailand to go around with the Isthmus of Kra project. Of course, the USA is dead set against that project and fabricating all sorts of reasons to prevent its construction, just like the Nord Stream pipelines in Europe.
Let us not also forget that Russia and China are also looking seriously at the Artic route to Europe that is now more feasible with climate change lending a helping hand.
Elsewhere like the Bosphorus Straits under USA control, China is not too worried about being choked, but Russia may be affected to a degree. There are plans to open up another waterway link bypassing the Bosphorus Straits, linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara to be undertaken by Turkey.
Evil intentions and evil thoughts are now rendered impotent.
