With all my admiration for Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, I think that he makes the same mistake as most analysts and commentator. Why does he discuss only “Western” influence in global politics. Does he not know that the world is one and that “global politics” makes that very obvious? the West wouldn’t act the way it does without the East, their partners, all ‘united’ under one roof, the United Nations.
Inside this International War Club, West, East, North and South meet daily, in New York and Geneva. They all eat in the same restaurant, share tables and bottles of wine. They share the library and smoking room. They also share the state of the arts gymnasium.
Is Anil Ambani part of the powerful “Western elite”? are Ehud Barak and Sergei Belyakov – and I stop here with names – part of the Western elite? sex, libido, rapes of minors, sex ommerce, etc, is “international”, universal.
And the elites of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, also have significant control over governments and media. They also play a role in ongoing conflicts, whether in Iran, Gaza. Ukraine, South East Asia and African countries.
But I don’t blame them for what they are doing. I blame the unthinking and gullible (easily brainwashed) masses who still approve of the war industry and the users (Armed Forces) of what the industry produces. They enjoy wasting their time in protesting against wars, going on street rallies or marches, signing petitions, etc.
The ONLY way for humanity and the planet to “live” is to ‘kill’ Militarism, and pay employees of the war industry as well as the military, to use their time and talents to work towards for the betterment of our life.
