When the Brits, benefitting from the advances in the first Industrial Revolution expanded overseas to conquer the world of mainly agrarian or primitive states, it was a piece of cake. A few gunboats and a few thousand soldiers could conquer tribes and countries that were still defending themselves with bows and arrows and swords. Every little European state jumped into the formula, armed themselves with modern weapons and went around the world to conquer and seize lands and assets of tribes and ancient states. It was highway robbery, banditry, piracy, in the name of the states or the monarchs.
We came, we saw, we conquered. These were lovely phrases in the western literature, in their history books. There was no crime, no crime against humanity, no human rights, when the white savages run wild around the world, committing genocides, massacres, looting and plundering countries and tribes, slavery and ruling over lesser people, called subhumans, to dispose their assets, lands, wealth and their lives.
The rest of the world were no match against modern weapons in the hands of savages that called themselves civilised, armed with a book called the Bible, to civilise the uncivilised by calling the victims as savages and massacring them for trying to fight and defend their rights to exist.
Then followed a few hundred years of so called western civilisation ruling the world. And the subhumans of the world became the ruled, the slaves or semi slaves of the white men. And they lived peacefully, some happily, under white men's rule, white men's rule of law and white men's system. For those that benefitted from the white men's rule, they are in love with the white men, and wanting to preserve the white men system, defending the white men system, ignoring the plight and suffering of other subhumans and lesser humans under the oppression of the white men and the white men system. What is happening in the Middle East is an excellent example of this colonial mindset.
Several hundred years of white men rule has come to passe. And many subhuman and lesser countries have learned and acquired the science and technology of the whites and possessed the same weaponry as the white men to defend themselves and their countries. The white men did not make this easy, subtly managing and manipulating the coloured people using the white men system to remain the controlling power, the privilege class, by keeping the coloured people free, prosperous but never to challenge white men supremacy.
The small Mickey Mouse states still believe that they could continue with this unequal white men system, that they are still in charge, in control and domination of the coloured people. Many of the coloured people states are now much bigger and stronger, economically and militarily than the white Mickey Mouse states of Europe. Still the Mickey Mouse states think they can freely kick the big coloured states anytime they want, anywhere they want, anyhow they want with impunity, without fear of being whacked by the newcomers of wealth and military power.
The three tiny Baltic states are a joke in their own right, thinking they are white supremacist states. Holland, once the Dutch Empire, Denmark, Poland, Finland etc etc, all acting aggressively, unthinkingly that they are still top dogs in international affairs without realising that at most they are little poodles or Mickey Mouse that are totally inconsequential in international affairs. Like Britain, they are still barking very loudly, but not more than a chihuahua in realpolitik. They did not know their time is over. They still want to relive their past glorious days, that they can still call the shot. Britain today is another Mickey Mouse.
It is better that these Mickey Mouse European states take a look at the mirror and see who they really are and who the rising powers from the Global South are. Many of their colonies are now many times their size, economically and militarily. For goodness sake, stop being foolish and know where you are now vis a vis the rest of the world.
The whites, the so called superior race, cannot be as stupid as states like the little brain Philippines, to go around thumping their chests against super powers like China and Russia or Iran. See what is happening to Mickey Mouse Ukraine with the clowns running the country to the ground?
