The future's so BRICS, I gotta wear shades!
The future is not a NWO controlled by the UN, because the UN is history.
I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the world formed a new body to revival the UN, because they already have! The BRICS+ and those involved in the BRI, keeping peace through mutual support and economic growth, are patiently waiting- because they know that the UN, NATO and the Empire are finito. Any useful body can't possibly be based in New York nor can it give the 'victors' of WW2 the right to veto anything not in their interest even if it's a blatant genocide. Yes the US will refuse to be a member because it cannot control BRICS- but they're not going to be invited anyway!
America now having the second biggest economy in the world wouldn't matter if it was a mature country. But the white, western hegemonic patriarchy is a bullying, grumpy child in world full of adults. That's why the neocons are being so bloody minded and self-destructive; Gaza is the last opportunity to really have an influence on the world and to bomb the f out of some brown Islamic people.
The elections in Taiwan are in January 2024 and thankfully I think the Taiwanese are wise to the US's meddling in their country and to the US war mongering against the Chinese. I think Israel will be the last gasp at power as any international credibility that America had crumbles.
However, it won’t be long before the unsustainability of US supported racist apartheid in Israeli will become obvious and settler colonists will return to the EU and the States, though there won't be much left for them there. In the UK we hear a lot about immigration policies at the moment. As the US diminishes and stops creating wars over resources and as developing countries gain independence, wealth and autonomy, emigration will lessen, though climate change and migration to the lucky latitudes will increase.
The rise of Hindu/Aryan nationalism and Islamophobia in India is a big issue and the elections in June in the most populous country in the world are as important as any Western election, though we don’t hear much about them.
All we hear about on Substack is the US elections- either way the collapse of the Empire will continue and the US will become more and more irrelevant. If Trump builds a wall leading to more isolation and restriction of young immigrants to pay their pensions and if he drills for more fossil fuels as oil peaks and assets are stranded it will just accelerate the tanking of the economy, stranding the UK and Oz with it. The EU is already tanking thanks to sanctions on its neighbour and trading partner-Russia- who is flourishing and is increasingly allied with the axis of resistance and Iran.
The UK Tory government enforced the fake pandemic measures, though they and their pharma friends personally flouted and did financially very well out of them. The right wing establishment and GBnews tell us that climate change is a left wing hoax by Klaus S and the UN to control us; which is ironic and hilarious as the WEF is a vanity project and the UN and the COP are both toothless to stand up to industry. The right also scare us with immigration and tell us that an army of Black people is being imported to hold White people at gun point inside Smart cities. They do this to stir up racial tension, shore up their voter base and of course to protect their vested interests in the fossil fuel and animal ag industries.
From Pepe Escobar;
‘The song remains the same, from the steppes of Donbas to the oil fields of West Asia. How can the multipolar Global South – increasingly represented by the expanded BRICS – manage a raging, fearful, out-of-control imperialist west staring into the abyss of moral, political, and financial collapse?’
Let's prepare for the new world order of multipolarity and instead of being threatened by growing economies; building links with them. We can’t survive without them. Let's act like mature, sensible people who can cope with plurality and who have something to contribute instead of trying to dominate everyone or end up cutting off our noses to spite our faces with sanctions and by isolating ourselves.
Let's at least look for some politicians who are able to think this way.

Excellent!
It's a pleasure to read your thoughts about the recent UN debacle where the USA said FU to the people of Gaza. There's way too much calculation - plotting these days, and a seeming avoidance of the violation of good behavior (like war crimes). America is too full of itself.
This article by Pepe Escobar, is excellent!!
