Ukraine is the next piece on the geopolitical chessboard. Behind the diplomatic crisis and threats there is an upheaval of the post-World War II Pax Americana. Since the wobble of the capitalist economy in 2008 and the rise of China as well as the reorganization of Russia as a global war power; the treaty system and with it the entire globalist articulation created after 1945 entered an unprecedented earthquake. Ideologists like Joseph Stiglitz know that this is a definitive and unreversable decline, which may only be delayed a little through cultural and ideological engineering and diplomatic pressure. The Trump government, which was protectionist, pro-industrial and developmentalist, tended to break with the pro-Anglo-Saxon globalist structure, NATOist and daughter of the Marshall Plan. It cost him the disfavour of the elites. Today, capital is going through a stage of mutation, in which, after the post-industrial era, it is committed to the technological paradigm as a new form of colonization and submission, as well as the increase in financial dependence and indebtedness in general.
Why Ukraine? After 2014, when Victoria Nuland (advisor to Obama) and the hosts of George Soros overthrew the pro-Russian government of Yanukovych, a dynamic began in which this token was played geopolitically to curb the danger that an island represents for Pax Americana. Eurasian economy consolidated as a common, competitive economy, with immense resources and autonomy. The strength of this Sino-Russian project goes through two fundamental axes: fuel sovereignty and the Silk Road. In both aspects, the United States and its entrepreneurs and investors are left out of the game. In addition, stability in the region would form a strategic stronghold that would eventually make the “humanist” missions of NATO and the Pentagon in countries of the Middle East and Asia in general unnecessary. Ukraine functions like a virus, like the Trojan horse that comes to disarm the conglomerate that has emerged for decades and that could mean a new world order, where the Anglo-Saxon financial and globalist axis is not central, much less the system of extortion agencies. financial, political and military.
The alternative to the fall of Pax Americana consists for the elites in the formation of a planetary cultural hegemony that uses progressive springs and uses a globalist neo-Keynesianism. The ideologue of this proposal is Stiglitz, who talks about the “need” for a single State, which begins to create a regulated, sustainable economy, with goals “for all”. Thus, in the centers of power, the harsh neoliberalism of the 1980s passed to the capitalism of interested bases, with a human face or the third way of Tony Blair and Clinton, whose current supports must be sought in their successors in the Democratic Party. This project has materialized through the 17 points of the Davos Forum, which were adopted as Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. In reality, the so-called progressive capitalism seeks to mobilize the popular bases using the cultural hegemony of a supposedly Marxist and claiming discourse, which divides social actors into identities (race, gender, ethnicity, etc.) and places social democratic politicians in power. that are functional to the elite in terms of their economic reforms. In the West, this model already has primacy and aspires to expand in Latin America and Eastern Europe. Ukraine, as a cultural and historical stronghold and even because of its ties with Russia, may be the missing piece to finish this project that uses cultural warfare.
However, the specter of Russian military aggression and the risqué are elements that in this context are used as battering rams to move the diplomatic crisis and get Moscow to desist and allow Ukraine to become part of NATO. British and American missiles would be within 15 minutes of all Russian cities. These facts have also shown that the Atlantic military alliance is not a defense mechanism, but rather a spear of imperialist expansion, which is conveniently used to safeguard the markets and the mandate of the capitalist international order after 1945. But in addition, There is the issue of natural gas. The pipeline that Russia built sells fuel to Europe at a very low price, while the United States, which owns that market, imposes very high quotas that include maritime transportation. No rational logic seems to support the fact that countries like Germany continue to depend on US gas, having the Russian option. Unless there is a diplomatic crisis, with the threat of an atomic world war. Is this the way the Yankee empire will have to sustain its hegemony when it can no longer compete economically in the capitalist arena?
What the ideologues of the new type of hegemony, which claims to sustain the old order, do not take into account is that placing the planet in constant atomic threat will affect us all. But class interests seem to have much more weight. Suffice to say, Victoria Nuland has very strong ties to the military-industrial complex, so her current role as mediator in diplomatic negotiations could further cloud the issue. Perhaps the Pentagon is playing a game of heat without igniting the flame, but are there really guarantees that the fire will not be reached? Without Russia moving troops from its territory, the Western media have positioned the narrative that this is the “aggressor” country, when it is NATO that has a string of military bases from the Baltic to the Black Sea and a record of countries destroyed throughout history through armed interventions. In the game of heating without the fire starting, there is also the interest of the military-industrial complex in having a new market, Ukraine, to which to sell its surpluses since the United States withdrew from Afghanistan.
If Ukraine enters NATO, the Russian gas pipeline will not sell to Europe, with which the Americans maintain a market in their favor, as well as strategic dependence on their partners. In addition, the Atlantic alliance has one more point in its strategic advance towards Moscow, for which it sinks its claws into the heart of the socio-economic and political project of the Eurasian island. At the same time, by eliminating the energy sovereignty of the Europeans, the United States truncates the union of these partners with Asia, which -if it occurs- would mean the beginning of the end of the globalist system of treaties and organizations that maintain the current order and that It dates back to 1945. The crisis of 2008 already showed that Pax Americana would end, but apparently the transition is not taking place in a healthy or peaceful way, but rather is plagued by conflicting interests.
What else is played in Ukraine? Globalist NGOs have been operating in the country since before 2014 and have created a niche there to expand across the continent, perhaps as far as Asia, in the center of China’s influence. This so-called intelligent power, which functions as a cultural virus, undermines sovereignty and places replacements that are functional to the Anglo-Saxon globalist agenda. If Ukraine goes to NATO, this theater of operations could be repeated in other countries that make up the Russian sphere of influence and, perhaps, at some point, in Moscow. Let us remember that the Open Society was expelled by Putin and was declared a terrorist organization that attacks the State. So the expansion of these operations largely depends on the consolidation of the Ukrainian NATO annexation project.
The issue is defined through geopolitics and is based on the operation of US hegemony at all costs, be it diplomatic, cultural or through warmongering threats of an apocalyptic hue. Do not rule out that Biden, a lousy leader, is down because of his disastrous management and is perhaps trying to “do the Ukraine thing right”, after failing extremely in Afghanistan. He is a president who is trying to rescue the “essential” character of the United States in international politics, but he does so by risking too much and tied to economic interests that compromised him during the campaign and that make up pressure lobbies in decisive spheres. Biden is a staunch globalist, he does not have autonomy, his actions will be guided by the business community and the financial power behind the Pax Americana treaty system and organizations.
The enemy to beat, in this crisis, is really China, whom they want to weaken by damaging their Russian ally. The advance is in the direction of Asia, to destroy the project of the Silk Road and stop in time a planetary cultural hegemony from Beijing. Do not lose sight of the fact that the current fictitious value of the dollar depends on the existence of that “essential” character of the United States in the international arena. Therefore, creating and sustaining areas of influence that are functional to Washington’s hegemony is the last trick left for said currency to sustain its global course. If the Americans succeed in isolating and surrounding China, perhaps China will not dare to threaten the dollar, or launch a planetary cultural warfare mechanism to counteract the Yankees.
Nor can it ignore the fact that the United States sees itself as Rome, the “civilizing” empire that knows what is “best” for the people and even now wears progressive clothing. In this model, China and Russia would be conservative barbarians, who are not within the canons of the new modernity. The next chapter could be in the always tense region of Taiwan, where the US Army has carried out maneuvers due to the Ukrainian crisis. This conflict between large groups, in the midst of the covid 19 pandemic, shows the ineffectiveness of the current socioeconomic order, which is based on interests and not on values, on things and not on human beings, on resources and not on rights.
