WHO DIDN'T NOTICE THIS?

Afonso Almeida Brandão"

Wthea war that is unfolding in Ukraine and that there is no end in sight — Putin, still imbued with the bellicose and dangerous mentality of a KGB, does not lose hope that the United States and the European Union, as the conflict drags on, will end up abandoning the Ukrainians to their fate and Putin does not want, under any circumstances, to lose this war, even though it is not that easy — and with the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas that brings disruption to the Middle East, the redesign of a new geopolitics is emerging with the probability of new alliances being forged at a global level.

In fact, China, North Korea (from “Ping-Pong”) and the Russian Federation are the countries capable of threatening the Free World and Liberal Democracies. Communist-capitalist China, led by the calm autocrat Xi Jinping and his henchmen who follow him with dog-like loyalty, has been part of the global market for years, taking advantage of it to establish the businesses that suit it, while at the same time not neglecting to invest in the armed forces, intending to create an army even more powerful than the United States army, with the aim of being able to dissuade any whims of other countries (including the United States) that dare to confront it. The island of Taiwan is already in its sights and its invasion will take place when China sees fit. As can be seen, for a few years now, thousands and thousands of Chinese have been dispersing throughout the world, opening their small, medium and large businesses, rivaling the local businesses of the various countries where they are spread. Or has no one noticed this yet?!...

In turn, North Korea, where a sinister regime reigns, led by its “Dear Leader” and mentally retarded Kim Jong-un — absolute master of everything and everyone, who does not allow dissent, which, if it exists, is met with execution or life imprisonment — North Korea, as we said, lives obsessed with the military industry and, at every step, carries out experiments with new nuclear weapons, provoking orgiastic excitement, the uncontainable joy of Kim Jong-un and his old generals who do not spare smiles and small applause, visibly delighted as children with the tests of the new weapons. The ecstasy of the North Korean people is reached with the grand military parades where all kinds of top-of-the-line weapons arsenal are displayed.

As for Vladimir Putin, the dictator (and another retarded person!) of the Russian Federation, with the invasion he carried out in Ukraine he intends to destroy this excellent country by annexing it and, if possible, to continue annexing other countries that left Moscow's orbit after the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. It also suits him to destabilize the European Union by trying to create fissures and disagreements regarding its members' unconditional support for Ukraine. In turn, President Zelensky of Ukraine has to rely on supplies of war material from the United States (now non-existent since Donald Trump took over the US) and from the most developed countries of the European Union, otherwise, if supplies slow down, Ukraine will not survive as an Independent Nation if it cannot withstand the Russian offensive. If Ukraine's victory is achieved — which seems difficult given several factors — the next step will be its integration into the European Union, further strengthening this political and economic union — a hypothesis that we also do not see as likely...

In conclusion, both China and the Russian Federation want to weaken the hegemony of the United States and the European Union. As for North Korea, it is important for China and Russia to establish good diplomatic, political and military relations with Kim Jong-un's country in order to implement the strategy that is being developed, which will be the establishment of a New World Order. This will not please Europe and the United States. We will just have to wait and see...

THEThe war in Ukraine has the “merit” of demonstrating that Europeans are forgetting that, unfortunately, from a historical point of view, War is the norm and Peace is the exception. To make matters worse in the current world, certain democracies, which claim to respect international law and the territorial integrity of countries, have refused to vehemently condemn the new Russian imperialism, which should not covet and invade a sovereign country like Ukraine. This was the case of Brazil and India, joined by China, which, as we know, does not like political parties and does not like democracy. Chinese communism is the “vanguard” and the “truth” and, therefore, does not need Democracy. Which is a shame we have to admit. All these events are changing the geopolitical vision that, as Guy Sorman stated, was based on the West or West (allied with the United States) versus Communist East Europe vision and that, currently, with the battle of Gaza, the opposition between the Global South and the Global North (former West) is emerging. If the nerve centre of the Global North is located in Washington, the European Union is its periphery. On the other hand, it could be said that the Global South extends from China to Brazil via South Africa, Algeria and Venezuela, and is so heterogeneous that it is difficult to define it from an ideological and geographical point of view. Any doubts?

However, it is perceived that the Global South is now the accepted name for countries that identify with inequality, but inequalities have always existed throughout history and will probably always exist until the end of time. The Global South is defined by its opposition to the United States and the West, known as the Global North. In other words, the international order dictated by the United States in 1945 is no longer recognized by most countries that were, in fact, colonized by the North, but that is a thing of the past.

However, these countries are convinced that international law is a new form of colonialism that perpetuates white power and disregards local civilizations, whether Arab, African, Chinese or Latin American. Political and racial “wokism” is not alien to this political thinking. There will be no shortage of those, however, who admit that Beijing or Moscow intend to rule the Global South, and it is more likely that Beijing will win the dispute without giving up its alliance with Moscow. From now on, the United States and the European Union will have to take this geopolitical reality into account.

The world is changing and difficulties are expected for the Old Continent that gave the world new worlds with the Maritime Discoveries and that benefited from these discoveries. If Donald Trump, an unbalanced liar — and who is now in the “perch” of the Greatest Power in the World — means that winning, Europe will suffer — as is already happening, by the way — and will no longer be able to shelter under the American umbrella. The Global North will therefore face new, unpredictable and worrying challenges. The world is changing. Who has not noticed that...?
