The New World Order

The idea that there is in fact a new world order in the making, from the United States, China and Russia is short-sighted and is based on outdated criteria from the 19th century that tries to revive the European colonialist past now through the North Americans, Chinese and Russians.

The current critical issue in world geopolitics is the fact that the population of this planet has reached 8 billion inhabitants, far beyond the 700 million at the end of the 19th century.

It is this political weight of this demographic that imposes severe limitations on the definition of a new world order, along the lines of traditional imperialism of 100 years ago.

"Latin" America has 800 million inhabitants, the Middle East is close to 1 billion, including Iran.

The issue then is the unsustainability of the colonial processes in these two regions (Latin America and the Middle East), by both the United States and Europe now, and by the former Soviet Union later, which finds in today's Russia its immediate heir to be today.

The United States lives beyond its means in a dizzying and insane global financial pyramid that pretends to give it the resources to maintain these colossal armed forces on all continents.

A break in those crazy finances that have been turning debt into liquidity since 1945 through an unlikely dollar, and the Yankees will barely be able to move their fleets or armies.

Russia has reorganized itself fairly well from the Soviet collapse, but it is very far from having any financial power to move troops and squadrons to impose itself politically. Russia is a prisoner between two seas: the Black and the Baltic.

China is not credible as a superpower since it is an appendage of this folly that the US financial system has become, based not on effective wealth, but on an unsustainable fiat pyramid incapable of responding to the needs of the 8 billion inhabitants who live on our planet today.

China's financial and therefore military capacity, and its consequent insertion in current geopolitics, does not go much beyond Tibet. It has no trained personnel, despite Harvard's efforts, it has no financial credibility since it is a communist, and it depends because of that on Yankee support to keep the Chinese in this unbelievable game of superpower that they never were.

From a strictly military point of view, no one becomes a superpower in less than 30 years, when 40 years ago professors were thrown out of university windows, in that infamous cultural revolution of Mao Zedong.

In the face of these facts, the critical question now is the "decolonization" of Latin America that lives this unbearable Puerto Rican malaise, when 800 million are being dominated by 300 Million Anglo-Saxons who become more and more like cultural intruders, basing their power on the institution of corrupt civic-military castes throughout the subcontinent to impose their increasingly unbearable political and cultural domination.

The most critical is the fact that the United States has reduced the economy of its Latin neighbors to that of agricultural producers, a fact that is obviously incapable of generating development for 800 million inhabitants, creating a reserve consumer market for its industrial investments in Communist China.

These are the origins of the Latin American malaise that has no prospects for long-term development, except for the rupture of this colonial pact of the civic-military castes, bringing down the Yankee whorehouse backyard imposed by Washington.

The Middle East is experiencing something similar, although there is no colonial pact to be broken as in the "Latin" case, but the issue is the Arabs, who are exhausted by this colonialism that has lasted for centuries.

The collapse of the militaristic secular states in Libya, Iraq and Syria makes clear a certain revival of Arab Islamic culture, and this is a historical fact that created the Islamic-Arab Empire itself that with the end of the military regimes of Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi and Al-Saad forces the region to return to its origins.

Conclusion, Latin America with 800 million and an agrarian economy, and the Middle East with 1 billion and a grimy colonialism of centuries, added to a United States living in an illusion of wealth and power already long worn out, together with a China that never was, and a Russia that will never be again, is the challenge from now on in the 21st century.

In other words, the geopolitics of the future is the decolonization of the "Latins" and "Arabs"!
