World conflicts are spreading, opposition to a full spectrum dominated uni-polar world gathers pace, the EU is settling on shaky ground, Russia is teaming-up with Iran and maybe China, the Arab world is building several asymmetrical armies, Ukraine threat to peace looms ahead and London’s Lord Mayor flirts with the British Euroskeptics while announcing plans to enter the UK parliament. The August silly season is not looking so funny anymore.
The EU is a “misbegotten political project” that has left millions of
young people on the “scrapheap”, Britain will have a “great and glorious
future” if it leaves.
He really means London of course. What has come to knowledge and looks
certain is the rise of the super-city in the near future. London’s economy is
set to double over the next 20yrs to £640 billion. That’s Ireland, Portugal and
Finland combined. With this sort of clout why should London consider playing
ball with the new Brussels dictate!
Skeptic politics is on ascendancy. Only a reformed EU can swing the
balance towards an inclusive and progressive Union. What takes decades to build
can be destroyed in days and weeks.

Ukraine (the borderlands) crisis is deepening. Ukraine has potential
to fracture Europe in ways similar to post WW11. Russia can see how the western
world is reacting to Israel’s conflict with Gaza’s civilians. It all pretty
much smacks of who dares wins and don’t hesitate to strike for home interest
when the time is right. Think Iraq, Grenada, Panama, Vietnam, Bay of Pigs,
Dominican Republic, Laos & Cambodia, Lebanon, Somalia, Haiti, Libya &
Afghanistan.
If Russia invades the Ukrainian Borderlands to protect Russian people
and home economic interests, Western condemnation will fall short after the
world witnessed a grossly disproportionate incursion by Israel into Gaza in
order to protect similar objectives.
