He’s a Klaus Schwab fascist.
Tony looks ready for his mad tea party.
Another way of saying it: Tony Blair said “Hey, look at this mess I helped create.”
Corollary: it also moves in the Northern Hemisphere.
Only “President Biden” (meaning his unknown teleprompter writers) could have been so incompetent and/or sabotage-minded that they have successfully managed to:
1. Drive Russia and China together as a military alliance. [Keeping Russia and China divided has been a top U.S. strategic imperative since the 1950s.]
2. Drive both Saudi Arabia AND Iran [otherwise enemies] to request to join the BRICS [Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa] economic and currency zone. {The U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency aka the petrodollar? Gone with the wind.}
3. Drive Russia, Iran and India together, to create the the International North-South Transport Corridor, short-cutting the Suez Canal and making the EU irrelevant to trade.
Way to go, Team Biden!!
The International North-South Transport Corridor:
“The duration of the journey is less than 25 days, as opposed to the approximately 40 days it now takes to move cargo from Russia to India through the Baltic Sea – North Sea – Mediterranean Sea – Suez Canal – Red Sea -Arabian Sea route.”
Russia has started using an alternate route to ship goods to India, through Caspian Sea and Iran, bypassing the Mediterranean Sea – Suez Canal route. Russia dispatched a test cargo to India from St. Petersburg via Iran on Saturday, operationalising the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC). According to Russia Briefing, Iran’s state-owned shipping firm has announced the first transit of Russian products to India via the INSTC.
Economic Times, quoting Dariush Jamali, director of a joint-owned Iranian-Russian terminal in Astrakhan, reported that goods originating in St. Petersburg are on their way to Russian city Astrakhan, which is the Caspian port city located on the delta of Volga river. In Astrakhan, the cargo will be reloaded at the Solyanka Port in the city. They will then go across the Caspian Sea to Iran’s Anzali Port, where they will be carried by road through Iran to the port city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran. The goods will again be loaded onto ships at the Iranian port, and from there the goods will be delivered to India’s largest container port in Navi Mumbai.
Two 40-foot (12.192-meter) containers of wood laminate sheets totalling 41 tonnes were included in the test shipment. The duration of the journey is less than 25 days, as opposed to the approximately 40 days it now takes to move cargo from Russia to India through the Baltic Sea – North Sea – Mediterranean Sea – Suez Canal – Red Sea -Arabian Sea route. Aside from shortening the time it takes for transport between India and Russia, INSTC is seen as a feasible alternative for Indo-Russian trade in the face of present international issues. The journey time will shorten even more after a rail route Iran is constructing is completed.
I wonder what his CCP code name is.
Thanks in no small part to Blair himself, the UK Aristocracy, UK Prog Socialists and good old UK Marxists.
Screw the UK.
This Slavic death fest is just another chapter of the European civil wars that is eroding Western culture. The Chinese are indeed overjoyed. They now know the Russians simply do not have the conventional capability to defend Siberia and their rich, underpopulated, Far Eastern Asian/Pacific territories. If somehow their nuclear response were neutralized, China would move fast and Russia would be much smaller. Europe and the US could and would do nothing.
Just a few days ago, I heard that India’s population will overtake that of China by the end of next year. Why? China has used harsh policies restricting the size of families, while India hasn’t. Therefore I predict that the period where China is the world’s leading nation will be short — a couple of decades at the most.
We pushed Putin right into the arms of China and Iran. Thanks Brandon.
Baloney!
Besides the fact that China is a nuclear power, any other China dominance is a result of their massive population of 1.4 billion people - 4.2 X times the USA population.
America's Purchase Parity GDP per capita is 3.6 X times higher than China - in spite of the fact that the USA has imported millions of low skill, low education workers for four decades.
Americas industrial output per worker (12.8 million USA workers) is at least 5X times higher than China's output.
The only people in the world who are dazzled by the Chinese are the World Economic Forum and dictators.
We’ve gone mad. We need to quit standing on our own *****.
China is at the core of coalitions that are rising in substantial part because of the suicide sanctions and corresponding divorce of Russia from Western businesses.
I don’t want to pop anybody’s balloon but the U.S. military is now on par with the Russian military getting its ass kicked in the Ukraine except that our military is now mostly composed of foreign “refugees” looking for a government paycheck. A friggin’ circus. I saw a five foot, 350 pound female “Sargeant Major” the other day. NOT KIDDING OR EXAGGERATING. Unreal. Not your daddy’s Army anymore, chief.
The West did it to themselves, and guys like Blair were a big part of it.
Gin and tonic anyone?
