Against the backdrop of new rounds of military strikes and counter-strikes by the United States against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz—a war that has already caused the largest depletion of global energy supplies in decades—there is a leading movement emerging in the world for new framework to governance, economic policy, and collaboration. That was expressed by Chinese President Xi Jinping on the first of this month, who addressed the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Heads Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
Though President Xi is well aware of the dangers emanating from the insanity currently gripping countries in the trans-Atlantic sphere, who are escalating on both fronts of warfare in Iran and Ukraine, XI outlined a possible and optimistic road forward for the SCO and other nations of the Global South. Xi began, “Twenty-five years later, … [a] transformation not seen in a century is accelerating across the globe. The rivalry is intensifying between dialogue and confrontation, win-win and zero-sum, and multilateralism and unilateralism. The shadow of war continues to haunt the world. At such a crossroads with humanity’s future at stake, the SCO should step forward to shoulder its historical responsibility and steer the course for the future.”
To that end, President Xi noted that the SCO’s “biggest achievement is that it has steadily grown into a new type of regional cooperation organization… Its most valuable spiritual asset is that it pioneered, and has since followed invariably, the Shanghai Spirit of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations, and pursuit of common development. Its most important experience for cooperation is that it has found the right way of coexistence featuring non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party, enabling regional countries to build a common home together.”
That beautiful expression of peace, development, and harmony in pursuit of a global dialogue of nations, was once a commonly held view by U.S. leaders. Today, the Trump Administration has dispensed with the pretense of diplomacy altogether. Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby, who has recently advocated for the use of tactical nuclear weapons as “credible strategic options” for the Trump administration to consider, is also associated with a policy of containing Chinese economic development projects throughout Ibero-America. Colby and other neoconservatives view the region as part of America’s traditional sphere of influence, reflecting a geopolitical outlook reminiscent of Theodore Roosevelt’s “Big Stick” policy.
The opposition by the United States to the development of other nations outside the trans-Atlantic is doomed to fail, and will inevitably lead to the path of global war, if not corrected now. American economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche insisted that the U.S., in the tradition of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, must unleash high-tech industrialization and great development projects in Ibero-America, Africa, and Asia.
The momentum of the future of the world is being made by the Global Majority, centered in Asia, Africa, and Ibero-America. It is incumbent upon the United States to join that historical process, rather than confront it. In that spirit, Independent Presidential Candidate Diane Sare is running to move the United States towards that path, while also opposing the drive to World War III. She will be joined tonight by farmer Bob Baker on tonight’s Fireside Chat at 9pm EDT. Both Sare and Baker recently spent an extraordinary week touring Iowa, visiting many towns and engaging in discussions with farm leaders, local officials, healthcare workers, and veterans.
