EuroBRICS. Un basculement dans l’équilibre du monde

Posted by seumasach on February 10, 2012

Un changement peu attendu encore par les observateurs, malgré des signaux concordants, sera le déclin sinon l’effondrement de la puissance américaine. Il vaudrait mieux parler de la puissance atlantique pour y inclure la Grande Bretagne. Celle-ci ne semble pas en voie de se désolidariser de la puissance américaine et risquera donc de la suivre dans sa chute.

Un certain nombre d’experts, dont le politologue franco-européen Franck Biancheri 1), prévoient pour les prochaines décennies d’importants changements dans l’ordre du monde. Il ne s’agit pas d’annoncer des évènements encore inattendus, mais de mettre en perspective un certain nombre de changements en profondeurs (dits aussi systémiques) que la plupart des observateurs constatent mais dont ils ne tirent pas encore de conclusions significatives.

Why the BRICS won’t ‘save’ Europe

Posted by seumasach on September 20, 2011

The relationship between the emerging multipolar world and the Euro crisis is certainly a crucial one. This analysis unfortunately owes too much to the standard lines laid down ad nauseum by the Anglophile global press. Let’s hope the Brazilians aren’t serious about investing in UK bonds, lending to the world’s most bankrupt country, and that they’ve noticed that it isn’t in the eurozone anyway. Escobar repeats the defeatist line on Europe, which is simply the London-Washington line. Hopefully the BRICS leadership will have noticed that by helping the eurozone to come through the currency offensive being waged against them by City of London/Wall Street interests they will prevent the dollar from reasserting its stranglehold on global trade and, at the same time, gain leverage over Europe and help snuff out its senile imperial pretensions and Sarkozy’s 3rd Empire thereby splitting NATO.
