In the past few days, there have been a whirlwind of extreme
events, not to mention yesterday’s assassination of Trump ally Charlie
Kirk, founder and chairman of the conservative Turning Point
group.
Alongside this, on Tuesday, there was yet another brazen violation
of international law by Israel, which targeted leaders of Hamas in
Qatar who were there to negotiate the latest ceasefire proposal for
Gaza. Residential buildings were hit in the city, and at least two
people, including the son of a Hamas leader, were killed in the
attacks. In a Truth Social post, Trump was very critical of the
attacks, noting, “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign
nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard
and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance
Israel or America’s goals.”
In Europe, warlike talk is emerging from the recent drone incursion
into Polish airspace, in which it is being claimed that the 20 drones
came from Russia, and were flying against targets in Poland.
All of these events should not be considered in their particular
instances, but in context of the underlying dynamic taking place in
the world as a whole. That dynamic has been shaped by the historical
meetings of last week in Tianjin, China; Beijing, China; and
Vladivostok, Russia. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in
Tianjin, China, brought together Russia, China, and India, altogether
representing about 3 billion people, to discuss a new world economic
order where nations are treated as equals, not vassals to be disposed
of as the whim of imperial powers.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s statement, “The Nations of the West Must
Cooperate With the New World Economic Order,” is required reading for
those who wish to understand the larger dynamic that is taking place,
and to put into context “extreme events” which cannot be analyzed by
themselves. The geopolitical system of looting and war is coming to an
end, and the Global Majority, represented by the Global South and
institutions like the BRICS+, are forming a new world economic order,
which is open to the trans-Atlantic nations to join.
Which direction we go depends on what we—representatives of the
better angels of humanity—can do right now to shift the West towards
cooperation with a new system.
