They said that because they believed in it. They believed in Western “manifest destiny.” They didn’t realize that Russia had other options.

Today, the war in Ukraine is lost. Hundreds of thousands of people died in vain — because of vanity. The “other War” in the Middle East is no different. The Israeli-American war with Iran will be lost and tens of thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese will die senselessly.

Professor Richard Wolf notes in a recent interview that the West as a whole is in a serious financial crisis precisely because of such unbridled government spending.:

“For the first time in the last couple of years, bondholders did not want to continue financing the UK’s deficit, and [the UK government was forced to resign]. Now Mr. Macron is following the same path. bondholders have told the French that they are not going to continue financing their government debt.

I think we have reached a point where these contradictions are accumulating. You don’t have to be a Hegelian or a Marxist to understand that these accumulating contradictions are very deep, large-scale and fundamental.”

They tell us that, on the one hand, the world does not accept the Western vision as universal, on the other, the West does not have the financial clout to strive for world domination, if there ever was one.: zugzwang.
