All this makes no sense: countries that got occupied, or where governments have been overthrown, are now living in absolute misery, even in agony: Iraq and Libya, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Honduras, Brazil, to name just a few.
For how long will the entire world lick the boots of a country with only around 300 million inhabitants, which produces hardly anything, and governs over the world through brutality and fear? It only prints money. It only insults human logic. It vulgarizes everything on earth; everything that used to be sacred to humanity.
I have to remind those who prefer not to notice: millions are dying, annually, all over the world, because of this "arrangement of the world". Surrender and submission do not save lives. The empire never stops; it never has enough.
And one more old wisdom: kneeling in front of terror never brought liberation, or progress!
In more and more countries that I am visiting, all over the world, people are admiring "Russian way", and "Chinese way". You would never read this in Western mass media outlets, but precisely this is taking place: injured, brutalized and humiliated countries are beginning to levitate towards those great countries which are proudly standing and refusing to surrender to Western terror.
