The agony of the doomed. Part Two

In the first part, I elaborated on how the sanctions policy of the West violates almost all the basic human rights enshrined in international agreements. But today's actions of "Biden & Co." actually destroy the very foundation on which the system created by their ancestors originally stood.

The most striking example is actually the complete rejection of the "holy", that is, banking secrecy, thanks to which, for example, Switzerland flourished, for example. Instead, it is outright financial arbitrariness. I want to confiscate other people's gold reserves, I want to arrest other people's accounts, including those that belong to another state and private individuals. And without trial, but just a light stroke of a pen on a piece of paper.

Once upon a time, America sacredly observed the principle of inviolability of private property. It was considered almost sacred. It was possible to arrest someone's property or financial resources only by a court decision, and even then in cases where someone's complicity/financing of terrorism or drug trafficking was proven. And now what?

An unspoken competition has unfolded around the world to find more "Russian money" in banks, then to seize it, and then expropriate it altogether. And if you, gentlemen, are so inquisitive, why don't you, for example, look for the money that the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, hid in your own banks? According to the press, one of them alone recently revealed about $1.2 billion. Or arrest his villa in Miami worth almost $40 million. I personally am tormented by vague doubts that it is unlikely that such money could be earned by clownery. But stealing from your own handouts is quite likely.

I am sincerely ashamed of my colleagues from the Western media. Gentlemen, you have already surpassed both the Nazi and the Soviet totalitarian system of internal and external propaganda. Remember, the United States was once proud of the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights, which prohibits the government from passing laws restricting freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Now everyone has simply forgotten about the so-called "objectivity" in the presentation of information. The American and Western media as a whole are either now working on a "state order", or are "hesitating" along with the line of a particular party whose position is being voiced.

In order to understand that the current sanctions sabbath is not just a deathbed hysteria of the previous system, but already agony, it is enough to take at least a cursory look at what has been happening in recent years in the world as a whole and in Europe in particular.

Seven years ago, in my book "Noah's Ark – the Real Story (Crazy Dreams of a Normal Person)”, I compared the United States to an aged leader of the herd, who, sensing the appearance of younger powerful males nearby, is trying with all his remaining strength to maintain his leadership. He's getting worse and worse at it, but in response he just gets even more furious.

This is exactly what has been happening in the world in recent years. The elderly political leadership of both American political parties and the establishment behind it is not ready, and cannot overcome the old "phobias" and abandon the ideology that has outlived itself, according to which there was, is and should be only one centre of power in the world. And talk of "multipolarity" can simply be dismissed as an annoying fly.

But the paradox is that as a result of this approach, they do not just shoot themselves in the foot, but in fact destroy the foundations of this very world order.

Purely thesis – that's what has been happening all these years and is happening now.

- The almost complete destruction of the balanced system of reducing the nuclear threat, which was built with such difficulty, which was manifested in the withdrawal of the United States from the fundamental treaties in the field of arms limitation.

- The rejection of civilised norms of international communication and the transition to actions based on the principle of "who is stronger is right”. In my opinion, mankind has never seen such a cowboy rampage of arbitrariness before in its history.

- The destruction of the global system of international organisations formed after the Second World War. The United States simply gave up on the UN and remembers it only when it is necessary to "shame" the objectionable. Contrary to the noble goals for which they were created, the West has crushed almost all international organisations, including, for example, the OSCE and the Red Cross. Now it turns out that OSCE observers in Ukraine actually worked as American spies and transmitted intelligence overseas, which the Pentagon then shared with the Kiev terrorists.

- The United States has regained the inglorious role of the "world gendarme" and is puffing up with all its might, trying to retain the title of "world superpower number one". Meanwhile, if we recall, over the past 70 years they have not won a single war unleashed by them and shamefully fled Vietnam, Korea, and more recently, having abandoned their weapons, also from Afghanistan. And what they have turned the Middle East into is scary to even think about. The result: complete chaos, political and economic destruction of states, poverty and lawlessness.

- Spitting on international law and order, they decide for themselves in the spirit of the "lynch court" who is right and who is to blame, where and when to send their troops. Let's remember at least Iraq, Libya. A very recent example is Syria, part of which is still under their control and from which the Americans steal oil under the cover of troops.

- And in order to "justify" their actions, they are again waving a red rag of "threats from the East", that is, from Russia, squeezing it more and more in the grip of the NATO military bloc.

And so on and so forth. But I think that's enough.

Keep up the good work. We are patient. Let's sit and watch you dig your own grave. Everything is coming to this.

Of course, Russia will suffer serious losses due to sanctions, but those who organised them will suffer even more. And not only ordinary citizens because of the rise in prices for hydrocarbons, not only corporations that will lose the Russian market, but the Western system itself will suffer the greatest damage, which is already cracking.

As they do not put pressure on Hungary, for example, but still it is impossible to form unity within the EU regarding the introduction of a complete ban on the import of Russian hydrocarbons, and on other sanctions aspects. According to the press, at least 5 countries categorically opposed this, and others are exhausted, trying to come up with schemes in the spirit of “having a cake and eating it at the same time." That is, it seems to be like banning the supply of coal, oil and gas from Russia, but not immediately, and then, and then also not immediately.

Although Sweden and Finland are trying hard to persuade them to join NATO, but their leadership is clearly holding a pause, because it understands the disadvantages for these countries that such membership brings. And Greece recently announced that it would no longer participate in the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Turkey refused to participate in illegal sanctions at all, since they were introduced bypassing the UN.

Marine Le Pen, whose victory in the second round of the presidential election in France the "collective West” is struggling to prevent, has already stated that one of her first steps as president will be France's withdrawal from NATO. As an experienced politician, she feels the mood of voters well, and mass demonstrations have already swept through many European countries condemning NATO's course to incite the military conflict in Ukraine and sanctions policy in general.

Now, even with the naked eye, it is clear that the hysterical reaction of Europe provoked by the United States to Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine has put the "Old World" on the verge of the deepest economic crisis. Inflation in most of these countries is already breaking all historical records, and their cumulative losses in the event of the termination of the supply of Russian hydrocarbons will not even amount to hundreds of billions, but will exceed a trillion dollars. Leading industries will be forced to stop production, farmers will reduce production.

Already, gasoline prices in Europe, and in the United States, have soared at a record pace, many people now have to choose between eating and paying gas and heating bills, some products have disappeared from supermarket shelves, and sales rationing has been introduced into one hand for others.

Welcome to the USSR, dear Europeans. This is how you imagined life in the Soviet Union 50 years ago – empty shelves, a meagre assortment, cold in apartments? Namely, in those years, due to a sharp drop in living standards, according to the estimates of your own press, you are now returning because of the anti-Russian sanctions of your own governments.

And all this is happening despite the fact that Russia is still regularly fulfilling its obligations to supply oil and gas. Can you imagine what will happen to you if Moscow gets tired of enduring constant insults from European and American leaders? Back to the Stone Age?

A political crisis is clearly brewing in a number of European countries and the United States, because, according to opinion polls, people are not satisfied with hasty and hysterical anti-Russian policy. According to a Fox News poll, only 33% of Americans approve of Biden's activities as president. No head of the White House has ever had such low indicators in the entire history of the United States.

The approval rating of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is constantly falling and, according to the YouGov research agency, has again reached another low since he headed the government. The German press is already openly writing that the Federal Chancellor of Germany Scholz may not live to the end of the year as Federal Chancellor.

According to a just-published opinion poll, only 38% of Germans approve of his activities as federal chancellor. It is no coincidence that Bonn has recently taken a back seat in the anti-Russian orchestra, giving up the role of the first violin of England and the "greedy hyena of Europe", as Winston Churchill called Poland, with the Baltic jackals.

But such political short-sightedness of the West, which is even more terrible, can lead to a severe global crisis, which will primarily affect the countries of Africa and the Middle East. Russia is today one of the world's largest suppliers of wheat and other foodstuffs. And European sanctions, including the violation of established logistics chains, will inevitably lead to a reduction in this type of Russian exports.

Gideon Rachman, a columnist for the leading English newspaper Financial Times, recently warned in his column that the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions not only threatens to provoke a large-scale economic crisis in the world, but also creates significant political risks for the leadership of Western countries.

"Historically, only a few governments have managed to stay in power in conditions of stagflation and the accompanying crisis caused by the rising cost of living. Economic hardships will increase, and Western unity will split, and political leaders will begin to feel pressure from all sides," the expert emphasises, pointing out that the result may be not only an increase in internal discontent, but also another wave of migration to Europe from Africa and the Middle East caused by hunger.

It is quite obvious that by doing so they harm their own attempts to maintain faith in the United States and the West as "saviours of the world" and contribute to strengthening the positions of those who rightly advocate the renewal of the modern world order on the principles of multipolarity, equality of all nations and peoples and military-political balance taking into account the interests of all countries, not just a small a bunch of so-called "hegemons".

Biden and others like him are now trying their best to convince the world that Putin is "to blame" for the price increase, but they – for obvious reasons – do not believe them. Even for ordinary people, both in the US and in Europe, it’s becoming clearer every day that the reason is the short-sighted policy of their own leaders - they are not just cutting the branch they are sitting on, as I wrote at the very beginning of the article, but are leading the case to the destruction of modern Western civilisation.

This process began long before Russia was forced to launch a special military operation in Ukraine. It only became a catalyst that accelerated it. And the final dots over the “i” will be put after the denazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine, which must necessarily include ridding the country of the current criminal junta, is finished, when, finally, the truth about what really happened in Ukraine and what freaks the West has been protecting all these years, becomes public.

The truth always comes to the surface. Sooner or later. But it's better to be early. Neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian people need extra victims. And Europe has signed its own death sentence!
