This is the battle for the new world
Now there is a final showdown of how the West can restrain the development of other poles of strength — Russia and China
Perhaps the majority of political analysts will agree with the thesis that the events taking place around Ukraine today are a battle not so much for Ukraine itself, but for what the new world will be like. The world that appears after more than 500 years of the West domination. After all, the fate of the borderlands of East and West, Eastern and Western Europe, and the whole of Eurasia, as many times before, is being decided now in the Donbass and the Black Sea region. It is in Ukraine that it is finally becoming clear to what extent the West can restrain the development of new (and in fact revived) poles of strength: Russia and China.
No doubt approach
The strategy of the leading country of the Western world — the United States and its allies — was and is that in Eurasia there would be no power or alliance of powers capable of challenging their absolute dominance in the military sphere, technology and finance.By engaging in close economic co-operation with China to implement the strategy of isolating the Soviet Union, the US believed that it would remain a junior partner with whom the US would share the burden of running the world. According to their plan, China had to do all the dirty work for America.Nonetheless, the Chinese elites did not agree with the role assigned to them and relied on an independent policy. As a result, the country has become even stronger and acquired much more reliable allies and partners. For example, Russia.
Naturally, it was unacceptable for the United States. For the American elites, the question was: a hybrid war with China and Russia is inevitable, it is necessary to decide who needs to be neutralised first — Russia or China. Trump and the Republicans saw the primary threat in China, the Democrats and Biden — in Russia.
The latter came to power, and a clash with Russia became almost unavoidable. That is why Ukraine seemed the best place for it. For Russia and Belarus, this is not just a neighbouring country, but the cradle of our unity and brotherhood, so the mission of its liberation from the haze of Nazism and nationalism, which Russia has undertaken, is just sacred.
The Americans, the British, and their satellites plan to dismantle and strangle us in this struggle, which is being waged by proxy wars — this time in Ukraine. They need Ukraine solely as a tool capable of causing us maximum harm.From this damage, we must suffer to such an extent that we cannot resist at all, and in the end we will simply be subdued and destroyed. If this happens, then China will be the next target — an equally dangerous adversary for the West.
Complex configuration
The proxy war taking place in Ukraine was directly shaped against Belarus and Russia, as well as against China, because the development of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative linking Europe and Asia is already called into question. The US is hitting on Chinese projects, isolating Europe from the rest of Eurasia in order to firmly keep it within the Euro-Atlantic bloc.In fact, this means the extreme weakening of Europe, its isolation from the sources of growth in the East and a rigid military-political and economic attachment to the US in order to continue to maintain its geopolitical and financial position in the world at the expense of Europe.However, European elites once again show the absence of real subjectivity, a position subordinate and dependent on the Americans. All sanctions and restrictions imposed by the US, Britain and the EU against Belarus and Russia will most likely be applied against China in the future.
This reality should be accepted (including by the Chinese leadership), because the West plans to deal with us one by one, and the signs are already visible. For example, the events in Pakistan, when Prime Minister Imran Khan was suspended from his post and then replaced by Nawaz Sharif. It is not without reason that analysts see the change of power in this key South Asian country as a game of the West to exclude Pakistan from China’s allies.
Of course, China, acting according to its own logic and in its own interests, avoids direct confrontation with the United States, and there is absolutely no need for confrontation with Europe instead of logistics and trade hubs. But that is precisely why the conflict was unleashed around Ukraine — a key transit country, with the involvement of China’s allies and partners.
The future configuration of forces in Eurasia now largely depends on the outcome of a special military operation in Ukraine, and it is extremely important to prevent this country from becoming a ‘traffic jam’ between West and East, which could lead to an explosion threat.The interests of Russia, Belarus and China coincide here, and the true interests of Ukraine too, but it needs to be freed from the power of those whose policies have turned the country into ruins. As a result of the special operation, Ukraine should become a safe transit space that does not pose any threat to its neighbours.
If everything works out, then Russia and China will be able to begin the full-fledged unification of Eurasia. And this is extremely beneficial for Belarus, which is vitally interested in peaceful co-operation in the region. It is for peace and security that this battle is ultimately fought.
