In a recent column, “Can The World Survive Washington’s Hubris,” I promised to examine whether the US economy will collapse before Washington in its pursuit of world hegemony brings us into military confrontation with Russia and China. This is likely to be an ongoing subject on this site, so this column will not be the final word.

The tension and likelihood of a world war because of the conflict in Syria is currently on the cards because certain countries are behaving like arsonists, especially Turkey, in continuing to offer a logistical base for mercenaries from “liberated” Libya. Saudi Arabia’s ruling House of Saud will keep providing the money to buy them weapons. As for Washington, London and Paris, they will continue to calibrate their tactics in the protracted anticipation of a NATO attack against Damascus.

Our man in the Elysee! William Hague will be overjoyed to find in Francois Hollande continuity with the Atlanticist foreign policy of Sarkozy. He can take heart that without an independent foreign policy Euroland is going nowhere and London and Washington can perpetually replay a cold war against Russia and China.

Après avoir supprimé la vidéo de la Conférence des “amis” de la Syrie sur son site Internet, l’Elysée tente-t-il de faire pression sur Youtube pour trapper la vidéo n°2 de ce post ? Déjà deux vidéos effacées.
Ah, la France éternelle est de retour !

The US’ increasingly unhinged rhetoric reached a new level of absurdity this week as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Western nations and their Arab proxies to “make it clear that Russia and China will pay a price because they are holding up progress” in regards to the US’ premeditated campaign of terrorism and violent regime change in Syria.

The “Friends of Syria” conference combines the hubris,imbecility and impotence of the West unable to come to terms with the rise of Russia, China and the Global South. The approach of Francois Hollande is particularly stupid given that he allegedly aims to forge a Euro-Brics alliance: despite being subject to a withering assault by Anglo-American finance Europe remains locked in to the hegemonic Anglo-American agenda. All Hollande has to do is to offer coherent support for the Annan Plan: does he really still have to play to the gallery of the senile French left?

We must draw some encouragement from the descent of the West’s Syria strategy into incoherence and imbecility. Here Hague claims support for the Annan plan which seeks a negotiated settlement between all parties whilst pledging further support to one of the parties to the conflict, the so-called opposition.
