Chaos is the Whole Point

Palestinians in horror after Israelis opened fire on an aid distribution site.  The Israelis have killed hundreds of people at aid sites, in just the past several days.

A funny thing happened the other day.  It was after the G-7 "Leaders" Summit in Canada - you know, the one The Donald walked out of halfway through because apparently he had better things to do.

Now, all by itself the G-7, or Group of Seven, is a funny thing.   It is made up of the United States, England, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.  It is a sort of last gasp of the declining West (and their steadily declining ally Japan) to dictate reality to the rest of the world.

One funny thing about it, for example, is that once Trump left, the remaining countries had a combined population of less than half of China, and a combined GDP roughly the same as China's.

China is one member of the rising BRICS group, whose member states comprise more than four billion people.  That will give you some idea of how irrelevant groupings like the G-7 are fast becoming.

Anyhoo, the major item on the agenda of the G-7 meeting was the war between Israel and Iran.  When the summit ended, as the remaining members came out, Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz spoke to reporters there, and he said the quiet part out loud.

He said, and I quote, that the unprovoked attack on Iran was "dirty work Israel is doing for all of us."

A face even a mother couldn't love. 
Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz.

The Grand Chessboard

Many years ago, when you were still quite young, Thee Optimist made a post about a concept called the Grand Chessboard.  Things have changed slightly since that post, in the sense that China has risen.

The concept has been American foreign policy in Eurasia since at least the 1970s, and British foreign policy in Eurasia since before the year 1900.  No matter what political party is in charge, the policy remains the same.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, the man who wrote the book on all this.

The idea is that the Eurasian landmass is the most important place on Earth.  Most of the people on the planet live there, and the vast majority of energy resources are there.

Since it is so important, it is crucial that The West keep the place destabilized, by any means necessary.  No country, or group of countries, can be allowed to rise, and challenge Western hegemony over that region.

It's why the British partitioned India and Pakistan.  It's why the United States supported Iraq's eight-year war against Iran, and later invaded and toppled Iraq.  It's why they paid for the collapse of Syria and Libya, and supported Al Qaeda in Syria and Afghanistan.  It's why NATO bombed Serbia.

Israel, which was largely created by England, is a creature of this policy.  Its constant wars, and the barbaric bloodshed it revels in, keep the Middle East agitated and unstable.  The United States foots the bill for all of it.

Famous New York Times photo of Israelis gathered on a hillside to watch bombs being dropped on helpless Gazans.  Yes, they brought snacks.

The story goes that the Israelis are there to restore an imaginary empire that a minor war and storm god from a long-defunct Bronze Age pantheon of gods, promised them 2,500 years ago.

This idea is so silly that many Zionists don't even believe in it.  Which is good.  Israel is there as a Western attack dog, at best.  It may also be turning into a sacrificial lamb.  Or better put, a bargaining chip.

Further, it's beyond absurd to suggest that any of this has to do with the Iranian nuclear program.

Iran is allies with Russia, China, and North Korea, all of whom have lots of nuclear weapons.  Any one of them could simply hand nuclear weapons technology to Iran at any moment.

The strategy is destabilization.  

That has been the strategy since before you and I were born.

Words of Wisdom

"It is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America."

"As America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."

- Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Grand Chessboard
