  • Technically it’s western hegemony. US alone isn’t capable of a global economy hegemony, despite being the largest economy in the western hemisphere. Rather it’s always that EU aligns their policy with the US government.

    Besides that, I don’t think it will happen. Only Brazil is making this proposal, the other BRICS nations aren’t interested. They aren’t looking to quickly break western hegemony either.

    It’s clear to everyone that western hegemony is coming to an end, and these larger BRICS nations seem content to let it happen gradually rather than make a direct effort to end it quickly.


  • It’s not “China” that get’s away with anything, but the Western media that’s branding them as “Communist” as a form of derogatory propaganda to mark them a copy cat of the USSR.

    Right from beginning China has always called themselves “PRC”. People’s Republic of China. They are a dictatorial republic akin of Cesar’s Roman Empire, with a government structure based off communist ideology. But their economic policy have always shifted with the times, it was similar to the USSR when they were the fastest growing economy, and now similar to the US.






  • We don’t have a partner for peace? Well then get to work creating partners for peace.

    The US has been trying for years with the Saudi’s, Egyptians, etc… to support and encourage a peace treaty between the Palestinians and Israeli. And when the Saudi’s shifted, the Palestinians immediately went to Iran for support. Many other middle eastern countries nearby either hates the US, like Syria, or unable due to a crisis themselves, like Lebanon. So this policy isn’t possible.

    First, I challenge the assumption that I have to provide a credible peace plan in order to demand an end to violence.

    The reason for this war is because neither Hamas or Israeli wants to back down, and unfortunately thousands of Palestinians are caught in the cross-fire. At this point in the conflict, it doesn’t seem either Hamas or Israeli cares what happens to the civilians of Gaza, they just want to win this war. So unless you offer them a viable solution to peacefully end this conflict, they will not accept a cease fire.




  • Millions of people are at risk of dying of deliberate starvation. Millions are being pushed off their land. The region is being destabilized, Jews and Muslims worldwide are facing increasing antisemitism due to a complex set of reasons, Israelis are facing a rapid erosion in civil liberties… and we need to say NO. We need to interrupt all of these.

    Indeed. I agree globally the world need to find a way to end this impending genocide of the Palestinian people.

    We need to demand peace, we need to force from power leaders who pursue agendas designed to escalate conflicts because its in their interests, we need to halt the logistics operations that allow for people to be caged and starved and blown up and tortured…

    The problem is for us to demand peace, we need to have a solution that most people would agree with, including the majority of Israel and Palestinians. What would that solution be at this point in the conflict?





  • It’s as likely that I’m overestimating the support for this plan as it is that you’re underestimating it

    Indeed. It’s hard to make a clear assumption on how Israel’s geopolitical agenda plays out, and your assumption maybe more correct than mine.

    To my horror, the Israeli center and even left are far more amenable to the full ethnic cleansing of Israel-Palestine than any time in my lifetime.

    The origin of the Palestinian - Israel conflict is of statehood and governmental control, not ethnicities. Arabs who have never called themselves Palestinians but have lived in the state of Israel since it’s founding have as much claim to the region as Palestinians themselves and are of the same ethnicity. In other words even if Israel remove all Palestinians from the regions they want, it will never be considered ethnic cleansing by the rest of the world, because Palestinians isn’t an ethnical identity, it’s a political identity.
