As the global economic and power shift continues to unfold, if we look at history we will see that most, if not all, transfers of power happened after a major war. The odds of war being the catalyst for the coming change increases with each passing day. The endless saber rattling coming out of Washington DC is beginning to incite many of the world leaders who, over the past 15 years, have either kept quiet about the endless unconstitutional wars launched by the U.S. or have done their best to remain calm and collected as they attempt to negotiate with bloodthirsty warlords that occupy the Pentagon and State Department.
All the while China, Russia, India and most of the rest of Asia along with South Africa and Brazil, have all been working towards the next shift of power, economics and finance in a more realistic manner.
China sits at the head of several major economic partnerships including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS and One Belt One Road (OBOR).
Russia is the driving force behind the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and is working closely with several of the former Soviet Bloc nations in a way that lifts the entire region and ties it together with economical and financial incentives that help all the members and all the citizens. Russia is also a major player in the One Belt One Road project as well as a member of BRICS.
These massive partnerships have been built on a foundation of mutual cooperation, economic independence and growth. It almost appears as if China and Russia learned from what the U.S. did when NAFTA was signed by President Clinton and did the exact opposite in developing their plans for regional partnerships and economic unions.
As the U.S. continues to threaten, bomb and exploit nations and people around the world the Eastern economies continue to focus on business and being a good neighbor. I am not saying that Russia nor China are the “good guys” and the U.S. is the “bad guy,” I am simply reviewing what is on the table at this moment with these 3 superpowers. If I were the Prime Minister of one of the Baltic States or, any other South Pacific rim nation, the only question that would need addressing is – why would a nation do business with a country that has proven to ignore terms of treaties, invoke economic sanctions and financially attack a nation that hyper inflates their currency? These are the tactics the U.S. has used around the world. How could anyone see these tactics as anything less than barbaric and acts of war?
