“No more killing!” That is what President Trump told acting
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in yesterday’s two-hour White
House meeting. While Zelenskyy probably expected Trump to approve the
use of Tomahawk missiles, which are capable of striking deep into
Russia and would certainly put the U.S. and NATO in a state of direct
conflict in Ukraine, Trump instead referenced the proposal of a
Budapest summit between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin,
suggesting separate meetings be held on the sidelines with Putin and
Zelenskyy.
This is just one example of the arc of development taking place in
the world. We can either stick to the old imperial axioms which have
dominated since President Franklin Roosevelt’s death, which will lead
to the thermonuclear obliteration of all life on the planet, or, we
can shift our axioms, and create the conditions for a new paradigm of
coalesce in the world today.
In another area of the world, Southwest Asia, the peace deal
between Hamas and Israel, while tenuous by itself, has opened up a new
path for diplomacy and economic development which can lead to a
reconciliation between both sides. That potential exists with Lyndon
LaRouche’s 1975 Oasis Plan, which envisions joint development in water
desalination and other infrastructure, to make the deserts bloom, and
integrate the region from India to the Mediterranean, from the
Caucasus to the Persian Gulf, as one development area. The feasibility
of implementing such an ambitious undertaking—though unconventional
according to linear political thinking—is real, according to Dr.
Manuel Hassassian, the ambassador from the Palestinian Authority to
Denmark, in an interview with Helga Zepp-LaRouche. In the dialogue, he
said to Helga:
“On several occasions, I boosted the Oasis Plan as a prelude to
economic development towards infrastructural development. I think this
is a recipe which is ready for international donors and stakeholders
to use in the process of the national reconstruction and the
infrastructural development of Gaza. I think this is the time to
market the Oasis Plan, to be factored in by those who are going to be
involved in the reconstruction of Gaza.... The Oasis Plan now is
becoming more and more visible to stakeholders to factor in [to] any
process of development.”
A new approach to diplomacy, which is non-linear and creative, as
proposed by President Vladimir Putin at the recent Valdai Club meeting
this month, is needed to implement such proposals. Only a
transcendental shift in the thinking of citizens can result in such a
revolutionary approach to statecraft.
