“Planetary war.” That was the term used by Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (FSB) Director Sergei Naryshkin, in describing the silent interlacing of several of the more than sixty conflicts now occurring around the world. An example: journalist Kit Klarenberg reported May 24 on what he characterized as Ukraine’s Secret Al Qaeda Invasion of Africa: “On May 13th, French outlet RTL published an explosive report, entirely unremarked upon by English language media. It exposed how Ukrainian military and intelligence units are covertly operating in Mali on France’s behalf, in coordination with both ethnic Tuareg rebels and Al Qaeda-linked forces determined to crush the country’s revolutionary government.” Journalist John Helmer asserted in an interview this week that he believed that Ukrainian forces have been operating out of NATO facilities in Greece, or that NATO forces in Greece were launching attacks against Russia from NATO facilities—which would be far worse. These include unacknowledged NATO vs. Russia/China proxy wars in places like Mali, the “planetary war” which Naryshkin said may have already begun, at the International Security Forum in Moscow.
In a increasingly dangerous and volatile strategic arena — from the illegal aggression taken against Iran by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28th, to the deranged provocations of NATO-sponsored Ukrainian attacks on civilian targets in Russian territory — there is a severe shortage of thinking adults in the room to put an end to these conflicts, before they eventually lead us all into an inescapable thermonuclear showdown.
Following Ukraine’s attack of a Russian school dormitory in Starobelsk on the night of May 21-22—with the implicit consent of NATO countries—Russia launched a devastating, multi-weapon overnight counter-strike on March 23–including the use of its unstoppable Oreshnik missile—and then announced a series of “systematic strikes” that would be launched on key military-industrial complex facilities in Kiev. It also proclaimed an urgent warning that “foreign citizens, including diplomatic mission and international organization representative office personnel… leave the city as soon as possible.” This was not meant for Ukraine alone. FSB Director Naryshkin did not mince words in his warning to the “Collective West,” advising Germany, in particular, not to repeat its experience of the first half of the 20th Century. “We know from the history of the first half of the 20th century how Germany takes responsibility for Europe. And how that ends—including for the Germans themselves—is well-known. Therefore, I would not advise them to repeat this experience," Naryshkin said.
In the United States, President Trump is telling the media—perhaps wishfully—that Iran is desperate to make a deal, while falsely claiming that its navy and air force have been obliterated despite the U.S. blatant failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, American strategic assets are being deployed for what would become the third “official” war launched under the Trump administration, this time against Cuba, even as the country is being economically strangled into submission by sanctions.
As all of these frightening developments take place, the much-needed “adults in the room” are still convened in deliberations at the United Nations, under the leadership of China on the topic, “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System.” There, Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed to the need for a global reform of the international system to safeguard peace, with a strong emphasis on development. LaRouche forces have been assembled at the UN, both in the lead up to the meeting and during it. They have distributed, and delegates have received, the statement of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “To the Governments of the United Nations: A Policy to Bring Peace and Development to Southwest Asia,” calling for a regional peace framework for Southwest Asia based on Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan. This would also be the immediate basis for a new security and development architecture to address the problems facing each and every country of the world at this very moment.
We of the post-imperial world have a choice of acting together as a cohesive force, presenting real solutions which can shape policy decisions, or allowing a descent into a civilizational collapse, the dimensions of which people have no appreciation. Candidates in the United States, such as Independent Presidential Candidate Diane Sare, and New York Congressional Candidate Jose Vega, represent the only path forward toward those solutions which can shape history. Will you join them, and others, to guide humanity out of its mad adolescence? Will you choose to be an adult in the room?
