Agree - and also if, the gas station in question is just the gatewaý to many other business ventures and even cultural riches that you wouldn't find anywhere else.

Much respect to Glenn, who thankfully, is the old pragmatic Scandinavian not these so-called NATO new types that think becoming a frontier territory for the US is 'security'. The problem with the usual binary arguments in the West is that it comes across as a run of the mill intelligence operation. I call it, the "absurd bomb". It is where a barrage of absurd arguments is used to shut down sense making in general. To say that Russia and China have potential imperial ambitions while sitting on 800 military bases, "space force" and BlackRock is absurd. How can a Hegemon occupy both ends of a spectrum and still want to argue about symmetry or 'fairness'? It is not "double standards" or "hypocrisy", those are words more suitable for interpersonal relationships. What we are dealing with here is a geopolitical pathology with grave consequences.
It is a very old proverb in many cultures "out with the old, bring in the New". This development seems to be indeed the Beginning of a New-life on earth without the oldcorrupiive exploitationmentality. Bravo, for everyone trying their best to honestly stick to the truth, for a NEW BRIGHT FUTURE AWAITS us, after all this darkdire times!! We must KEEP our HOPE and long for the New time!!
BRICS seems to be a genuine attempt to form economic and trade cooperation, without interfering with participating countries’ politics. On the other hand, the World Economic Forum is the front-facing operation of financiers, bankers and old money, who want to control the world, and regress to neo-feudalism. We need to cooperate with each other. Trade fosters diplomacy and vice versa. All countries should be uplifted, and citizens safe and happy. Europe should be part of the European safety architecture. But countries should not be picking sides. Mutual respect is vital. I’m Australian, and Keating is right about NATO, and about some of our politicians’ inclination to bow to America. Just my observations. Great discussion. Thank you gentlemen.
The most valuable quality of life improvement you can get from developing and becoming prosperous, is to be able to afford to ignore western bloc politics. The Professor understood us correctly. It's not Russia that is successfully converting us into a neo-Soviet bloc. It's the Global South converting Russia into the Third World philosophy.
Thank you Pascal for this interview with Glenn. European hegemony (includes America and all the other cousin states) is founded in the thinking and politics of the old and new testaments, and also the Quran, which also stems from these writings and stories. 😢, how to overcome religious hegemony in the world.
Glenn impressed me greatly If I could afford it, I would subsidize his groceries Particularly, brown cheese and elk Hope he likes those But, no luktfish, because that's too much salt
Glen does represent the Viking Heritage that Russians share with Americans. The same fierce determination to resist exploitation from the more sophisticated examples of historic records, like the Anglo- Saxon Greed that created so much suffering among the Subjects of the British Empire, seems to live on in Norske heritage. The French domination of Africa denied an entire group of humans the ability to live in peace for centuries. The Spanish Empire now appears to join the group of victims the Roman Empire began to exploit before Queen Isabella sent that fella to sail across the Atlantic.. Can we now begin to live in a World that does not have to deliver Tribute to any Empire?

I still don't understand why this anti-Western and pro-BRICS proclamation is being peddled. I find it very out of place and against our own interests. Yet for a decade we have never missed a warm bed, bread on the table and those boring days at the office, only to then return home tired and continue our favorite series on Netflix or go out with friends at the bar. Because the truth in the end is this, Western countries have lived in well-being, thanks to state pensions, a well-paid job and then a bit of welfare and healthcare for all. This lifestyle has been a reflection of the West, it doesn't matter if you live in Europe or America or Australia. The state has always protected us and often supported us. But since this monstrous monster is no longer able to make everyone happy, the propaganda machine immediately sides with the new good guys of the world, the BRICS, they will be the ones to defend our interests, our pensions, beers at the bar and our favorite series on Netflix.
I've watch Valdai for a few years, it can be very interesting on the other hand it seems somewhat contrived or ill at ease. One does get a bit of a strange feeling viewing it, the audiences tend to be emotionless, as though they are on edge, or uncomfortable, or hung over, or controlled. You see none of the ordinary activity of a large audience, chat, laughter, talking to one another, even people getting up to use the bathroom. It impresses as artificial, with the same people seated in the same spots with the obligatory camera coverage of the same attendees nodding in approval over a number of conferences. Putin is always worth listening to, but at Valdai there tends to be a sense of politely listening to an old school church and family guy who is barely holding his own country together, and could drag you down the tubes with him into Sanctionland, and even if he doesn't playing nice with him is going to deny your oligarchs all the good stuff The West offers, like parking a big yacht in Miami. The theory Putin offers has to stand up against material wealth, a tough call. The general impression of Valdai is of broke cousins gathering to see what can be done to stimulate the charity of a rich uncle. Who will play the rich uncle is the open question, and it's kinda obvious that when Uncle Sugar is found (China after the US finally alienates them) then he will be an ostensible equivalent to the previous hegemon.
*A long history of divide-and-rule/conquer.* The people of West Asia (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders have made use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". *Today, their leaders are ALL tools.* Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Endless wars, constant dissent. Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little "buck catchers" (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? *Same types of people and systems. Different times. Same games.* ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been "divided and ruled" over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easy to divide people. First Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the "playground" during the Cold War. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance. Once the dividers have reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) so the own systems of gain can siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, all African dissenters, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. *Give a weak mind money, and they will dance for the dividers...* Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different rules. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas (most of whom are Christians), including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide and rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), then after 1900 as European colonial powers' influence decreased, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. _Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide and rule games on their neighbours._ *Forget "nukes". The "divide and rule/conquer"-strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be used invisibly in times of peace, AND in times of crisis and war equaly.* Ever since the two-faced "snake" slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), human beings have fruitlessly warned and have continuously been warned, against "divisions" within a peaceful status quo. Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a "system" divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide and rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror", constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust... Create favourites: favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER, to those who volunteer to act as proxies... Point the systemic finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power... Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book...

The territorial conflict is like two colours conflicting - Blue and Yellow, for example. And they argue about what colour is the land of dispute. Truth is that this land is nether Blue or Yellow, it is Green. Let's change the land of dispute into the land of common interest. This way, the val ue of this land will grow with time and will be growing so long as both contribute. But conflict will turn this land in unfrutile desert.

"We are deceiving ourselves and others when we pretend to have answers to the problems, which agitate many of these Asiatic peoples. Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3 of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships, which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security." George Frost Kennan - Counselor of the United States Department of State, Memo PPS23 (1948) "We're the United States of America for God's sake, the most powerful nation in the history - not in the world, in the history of the world. The history of the world." President of America and the leader of the Free World Joe Biden (October 15, 2023) Only people detached from reality would disagree with President Biden - unquestionably the greatest - after James Monroe - president in American history. AMERICA is the richest, the most successful and powerful country in history of the world. We Americans are dreamers and doers - the most exceptional, civilised and indispensable nation in history of humanity. We dominate and control every aspect of life on this planet: militarily (128 military bases located outside of our national territory), politically/diplomatically, economically, financially (world's main currency) , culturally (our irresistible, seductive soft power like "Hollywood", "Disneyland"), scientifically, technologically. We Americans - with some other English speaking nations - dominate entertainment industry, music, film, art, sport (vide: Paris Olympics medal tally), fashion, even global fast food networks... you name it. We are a beacon of the purest and most transparent form of parliamentarism, democracy, freedom, justice, human rights for the rest of the world... Our New World, Promised Land of opportunity to this day attracts millions of oppressed and destitute people from Africa and Euro-Asia, who flee homophobia, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, sexism and ageism, illegal immigration, environmental disasters, street crime, trigger-happy law enforcers, unemployment, human trafficking and sexual exploitation, child abuse, homelessness, drug and gun culture/mass shootings, poverty, ubiquitous corruption, censorship and disinformation, electoral frauds and political violence/assassinations, wars and "colour revolutions", neo-colonialism, genocides, Marxist totalitarianisms and theocratic dictatorship... They find here not only the highest living standards, unlimited wealth and prosperity, peace, safety, unrestricted love and sexual freedom, happiness but also all-inclusive and equitable society, civil liberties, neighborliness, tolerance and liberal values that people in 21 century deserve. *** Providence and Monroe Doctrine blessed us with sacred hegemony and a right of unilateral intervention over "the Americas". Remember so called Latin, South, Central Americans, Canadians and other inhabitants of our backyard, there is one and only AMERICA - The United States of AMERICA. We true Americans will continue our crusade to defend democracy in America and beyond. We never cut and run. We determine which elections are democratic, which are not; which military formations are terrorists and which freedom fighters; which wars are provoked and which are unprovoked. Nothing, nothing can come in a way of saving and defending democracy as well as promulgating our American way of life so harmoniously coupled with universal values under the umbrella of global capitalism. Play by our rules or don't play at all. We are the only super powerful and indispensable empire in this unipolar world, which doesn't need diplomacy. "You either with US or against US." - George W. Bush, November 6, 2001 Do not dare to question our leadership in any shape or form! DON'T, as it is based on a simple devine premise: "If God is for The US, who can be against The US?" (Romans 8:31) GOD BLE$$ AMERICA! "Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically that's wrong." - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris Kamala is walzing all the way to The White House in 2028. Kamala Harris will continue, what Condoleezza Rice, Madeleine Albright, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Victoria Nuland - great visionary American women-politicians and ambassadors of peace, freedom, democracy - started.

Truth is as essential in politics, economy, politics, as in nature, natural processes, which are related with a higher / cosmic intelligence that the human brain cannot fathom. When nature is polluted by a rain that is not rain but poison, only looking like rain, so, a lie, then all life dies on earth: it is impossible to manipulate nature. Nature reacts on pollution. So does the human being: living in a part of the world where lies govern, overruling the facts, that what is absolute, the human being is going to suffer from the pollution, mental pollution, mental illnesses, not able to analyse the effects of polluted politics, economy. Facts are related with natural laws (!!) of logic: named evidence based science. Evidence based science though hardly exists anymore. Prostituted science is experiencing booming business. Russia is also polluted by western style industrial = prostituted science. China also. There is no holy industry. There are wholeness related = wholy = holy views on how to evolve as a human race, and to realize a multipolar world, in which all is based on equality, cooperation, education, care, oneness, wholeness, life, nature. We are all part of nature. We, humans, lost the connection with nature, and have to reconnect, from within. That is the first step to be made.

Actually it is liberal for that small group of elite globalists who are calling the shots. But definitely not liberal for the rest of humanity.
Neo-Liberalism is Counter Democratic.
Its liberalism™, don't mistake it for liberalism as philosophical term.
It is a very old proverb in many cultures "out with the old, bring in the New". This development seems to be indeed the Beginning of a New-life on earth without the oldcorrupiive exploitationmentality. Bravo, for everyone trying their best to honestly stick to the truth, for a NEW BRIGHT FUTURE AWAITS us, after all this darkdire times!! We must KEEP our HOPE and long for the New time!!
Europe have to change their libersl leaders.... EU zone is an economic disaster
Because is not about economic prosperity for everyone

Thanks again professors for a great discussion.

It's been theft, death destruction and divide and concour!!
Respect for prof. Diesen from Belgrade👍👏
"Liberal"? Who among them was ever liberal?
Thank you Pascal and thank you professor Diessen , wonderful show ! 💪💪💪
A brilliant analysis by my fellow countryman, Mr. Diesen.
BRICS seems to be a genuine attempt to form economic and trade cooperation, without interfering with participating countries’ politics.
On the other hand, the World Economic Forum is the front-facing operation of financiers, bankers and old money, who want to control the world, and regress to neo-feudalism.
We need to cooperate with each other. Trade fosters diplomacy and vice versa. All countries should be uplifted, and citizens safe and happy.
Europe should be part of the European safety architecture.
But countries should not be picking sides.
Mutual respect is vital.
I’m Australian, and Keating is right about NATO, and about some of our politicians’ inclination to bow to America.
Just my observations.
Great discussion. Thank you gentlemen.
One of you best guests
excellent discussion, its good to talk
Glenn's question to Putin was so ridiculously complex. Putin was like wtf is your question?
Thank you
Great discussion. The ideas of global hegemony and American Primacy undermine peace. Thanks
Thanks Prof Glenn Diesen analysis which the West should listen and implement.
Congratulations.
❤❤Thanks Glenn and Pascal🌹
Hoping that our incoming administration can learn from this
Not a chance

"And one day Putin woke up and out of the blue asked himself: "Why not conquer ukraine today?" - Liberal Hegemonist analyzing the war....
The most valuable quality of life improvement you can get from developing and becoming prosperous, is to be able to afford to ignore western bloc politics. The Professor understood us correctly. It's not Russia that is successfully converting us into a neo-Soviet bloc. It's the Global South converting Russia into the Third World philosophy.
Thank you so much for noting the parallels ot the non-aligned movement. I often describe BRICS as a non-aligned movement for a unipolar world.
Thank you Pascal for this interview with Glenn.
European hegemony (includes America and all the other cousin states) is founded in the thinking and politics of the old and new testaments, and also the Quran, which also stems from these writings and stories.
😢, how to overcome religious hegemony in the world.
GREAT SNER MINDED INSIGHTS❣️ BRAVO❣️
Georg Henrik von Wrights book "Att förstå sin samtid" (in swedish) made us two ways in the future.. We seem to use the wrong way..
The term ' liberal' needs to be revised.
Imagine Biden or Trump answering such questions as Putin over 4 hours.
His intelligence is overwelming
both of them
Trump could lie for 4 hours and biden couldn't do 2 minutes!
Am already challenging the elected team to lean into multipolar
Not like they listen to an elder here
Wish me luck
Good Episode 👍
Thanks!

What do you mean "will"? It is doing that now

Particularly, brown cheese and elk
Hope he likes those

Glen does represent the Viking Heritage that Russians share with Americans.
The same fierce determination to resist exploitation from the more sophisticated examples of historic records, like the Anglo- Saxon Greed that created so much suffering among the Subjects of the British Empire, seems to live on in Norske heritage.
The French domination of Africa denied an entire group of humans the ability to live in peace for centuries.
The Spanish Empire now appears to join the group of victims the Roman Empire began to exploit before Queen Isabella sent that fella to sail across the Atlantic..
Can we now begin to live in a World that does not have to deliver Tribute to any Empire?
Not in this century the next one am sure!

I still don't understand why this anti-Western and pro-BRICS proclamation is being peddled. I find it very out of place and against our own interests. Yet for a decade we have never missed a warm bed, bread on the table and those boring days at the office, only to then return home tired and continue our favorite series on Netflix or go out with friends at the bar. Because the truth in the end is this, Western countries have lived in well-being, thanks to state pensions, a well-paid job and then a bit of welfare and healthcare for all. This lifestyle has been a reflection of the West, it doesn't matter if you live in Europe or America or Australia. The state has always protected us and often supported us. But since this monstrous monster is no longer able to make everyone happy, the propaganda machine immediately sides with the new good guys of the world, the BRICS, they will be the ones to defend our interests, our pensions, beers at the bar and our favorite series on Netflix.
I've watch Valdai for a few years, it can be very interesting on the other hand it seems somewhat contrived or ill at ease. One does get a bit of a strange feeling viewing it, the audiences tend to be emotionless, as though they are on edge, or uncomfortable, or hung over, or controlled. You see none of the ordinary activity of a large audience, chat, laughter, talking to one another, even people getting up to use the bathroom. It impresses as artificial, with the same people seated in the same spots with the obligatory camera coverage of the same attendees nodding in approval over a number of conferences.
Putin is always worth listening to, but at Valdai there tends to be a sense of politely listening to an old school church and family guy who is barely holding his own country together, and could drag you down the tubes with him into Sanctionland, and even if he doesn't playing nice with him is going to deny your oligarchs all the good stuff The West offers, like parking a big yacht in Miami. The theory Putin offers has to stand up against material wealth, a tough call.
The general impression of Valdai is of broke cousins gathering to see what can be done to stimulate the charity of a rich uncle. Who will play the rich uncle is the open question, and it's kinda obvious that when Uncle Sugar is found (China after the US finally alienates them) then he will be an ostensible equivalent to the previous hegemon.
Glen Diesen🙌
Finding ways to sort out differences is key
I probably have an intellectual and spiritual crush on you both
Nevermind me
*A long history of divide-and-rule/conquer.*
The people of West Asia (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders have made use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". *Today, their leaders are ALL tools.* Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Endless wars, constant dissent. Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book...
Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little "buck catchers" (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline?
*Same types of people and systems. Different times. Same games.*
-------------------------------------
The people of the Africa have been "divided and ruled" over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easy to divide people. First Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the "playground" during the Cold War. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance. Once the dividers have reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) so the own systems of gain can siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, all African dissenters, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent.
*Give a weak mind money, and they will dance for the dividers...*
Divide and Rule.
Oldest trick in the book...
Four corners of the globe. Different rules. Same games.
--------------------------------------
The people of the Americas (most of whom are Christians), including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide and rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), then after 1900 as European colonial powers' influence decreased, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900.
_Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide and rule games on their neighbours._
*Forget "nukes". The "divide and rule/conquer"-strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be used invisibly in times of peace, AND in times of crisis and war equaly.*
Ever since the two-faced "snake" slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), human beings have fruitlessly warned and have continuously been warned, against "divisions" within a peaceful status quo. Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a "system" divided by lies and deceit).
Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide and rule.
Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror", constant dissent with everything's a war war war...
Insert levers of lies, mistrust...
Create favourites: favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER, to those who volunteer to act as proxies...
Point the systemic finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power...
Divide and Rule.
Oldest trick in the book...

Love the title "the rest" from Ai Weiwei the west and the rest ❤ you're doing great pascal, my regards to the prof thank you for being at valdai i was very pleased you were there, what about Putin's answer, you cannot be trusted, what ever happened to Merkel? Silenced forever?
Generalisations are often wrong. The west or the rest are concepts. Our attitudes habits methods and routines towards each others livelihood are the problems. Respect
let me tell you if economical situation will continue like this for another year or two in Europe and UK they’ll be nothing left of Europe it’s getting very very difficult and dangerous
The Chambers of Commerce is the best we can do here.
The Chinese are not aggressive in Europe but would rather connect with the Belt and Road to bring and trade commerce, but the U.S. does not like competition for some reason. This I don’t understand. By the way, historically Crimea belongs to Russia.
Competition drives innovation.
Seems like BRICS is falling apart. Member's individual interests do not align with common interest...
The territorial conflict is like two colours conflicting - Blue and Yellow, for example. And they argue about what colour is the land of dispute. Truth is that this land is nether Blue or Yellow, it is Green. Let's change the land of dispute into the land of common interest. This way, the val ue of this land will grow with time and will be growing so long as both contribute. But conflict will turn this land in unfrutile desert.
That was.a pleasure to listen to. Not because of the unsolved irrational W mindset, but because it was rational truth. Not alway common in then"word salade" W these days.
I love not.having.to press the "go.back" button repeatedly in an attempt to understand nonsensical language.
I keep hoping.the Brics.plus are aware that many persons in the West are in line with the original.American ideals of personal or National.liberties. Wise to acceot that not all persons have the same.beliefs but they can.all choose.to.be acceoting and respectful of one.and others differences. Maybe even.wise enough to learn something new that ...dare I say, awakens human consciousness ? YES :).

Pascal, "Later in this program " is an unhelpful nuisance
Can anyone name for me the source/poll where the Ukrainians express that they didn’t want to join NATO? Before Crimea was annexed and after.
Did Valdai just take place?
Yes, as it has done every year since Valdai began.
It is hard to think of a more complicated and diverse country than the Phillipines. How to reduce US hegemony there without some internal and external elements causing unrest? Maybe it is just a matter of waiting and watching the US dollar re-aligning itself to emerging economies? Local trade will be a thorn in the antiquated and slumbering giant's rump.
What is so Wrong with hoping to achieve a mutually beneficial Co-Existence within a Peaceful World !! That's not too much of an ask ?? is it !!
YMultiple nodes of power engaging in positive economy engagements, polically self interest in appreciation of other nodes, military blocks just know wars. Learn to turn a new leaf in real leadership which would be more effective. The ASEAN model is a note worthy model.

"We are deceiving ourselves and others when we pretend to have answers to the problems, which agitate many of these Asiatic peoples. Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3 of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships, which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security."
George Frost Kennan - Counselor of the United States Department of State, Memo PPS23 (1948)
"We're the United States of America for God's sake, the most powerful nation in the history - not in the world, in the history of the world. The history of the world."
President of America and the leader of the Free World Joe Biden (October 15, 2023)
Only people detached from reality would disagree with President Biden - unquestionably the greatest - after James Monroe - president in American history.
AMERICA is the richest, the most successful and powerful country in history of the world.
We Americans are dreamers and doers - the most exceptional, civilised and indispensable nation in history of humanity.
We dominate and control every aspect of life on this planet: militarily (128 military bases located outside of our national territory), politically/diplomatically, economically, financially (world's main currency) , culturally (our irresistible, seductive soft power like "Hollywood", "Disneyland"), scientifically, technologically.
We Americans - with some other English speaking nations - dominate entertainment industry, music, film, art, sport (vide: Paris Olympics medal tally), fashion, even global fast food networks... you name it.
We are a beacon of the purest and most transparent form of parliamentarism, democracy, freedom, justice, human rights for the rest of the world...
Our New World, Promised Land of opportunity to this day attracts millions of oppressed and destitute people from Africa and Euro-Asia, who flee homophobia, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, sexism and ageism, illegal immigration, environmental disasters, street crime, trigger-happy law enforcers, unemployment, human trafficking and sexual exploitation, child abuse, homelessness, drug and gun culture/mass shootings, poverty, ubiquitous corruption, censorship and disinformation, electoral frauds and political violence/assassinations, wars and "colour revolutions", neo-colonialism, genocides, Marxist totalitarianisms and theocratic dictatorship... They find here not only the highest living standards, unlimited wealth and prosperity, peace, safety, unrestricted love and sexual freedom, happiness but also all-inclusive and equitable society, civil liberties, neighborliness, tolerance and liberal values that people in 21 century deserve.
***
Providence and Monroe Doctrine blessed us with sacred hegemony and a right of unilateral intervention over "the Americas".
Remember so called Latin, South, Central Americans, Canadians and other inhabitants of our backyard, there is one and only AMERICA - The United States of AMERICA.
We true Americans will continue our crusade to defend democracy in America and beyond. We never cut and run.
We determine which elections are democratic, which are not; which military formations are terrorists and which freedom fighters; which wars are provoked and which are unprovoked.
Nothing, nothing can come in a way of saving and defending democracy as well as promulgating our American way of life so harmoniously coupled with universal values under the umbrella of global capitalism.
Play by our rules or don't play at all.
We are the only super powerful and indispensable empire in this unipolar world, which doesn't need diplomacy.

Truth is as essential in politics, economy, politics, as in nature, natural processes, which are related with a higher / cosmic intelligence that the human brain cannot fathom. When nature is polluted by a rain that is not rain but poison, only looking like rain, so, a lie, then all life dies on earth: it is impossible to manipulate nature. Nature reacts on pollution. So does the human being: living in a part of the world where lies govern, overruling the facts, that what is absolute, the human being is going to suffer from the pollution, mental pollution, mental illnesses, not able to analyse the effects of polluted politics, economy. Facts are related with natural laws (!!) of logic: named evidence based science. Evidence based science though hardly exists anymore. Prostituted science is experiencing booming business. Russia is also polluted by western style industrial = prostituted science. China also. There is no holy industry. There are wholeness related = wholy = holy views on how to evolve as a human race, and to realize a multipolar world, in which all is based on equality, cooperation, education, care, oneness, wholeness, life, nature. We are all part of nature. We, humans, lost the connection with nature, and have to reconnect, from within. That is the first step to be made.
