Who sits at the head of the table?

Here is the strategy of the imperialist hegemonic power and to my reckoning, this is what we are going to have to fight for possibly 5 years into the future.

They are fighting for the chair at the Head of the Table, despite what the rest of the world, the Global Majority decides is to be the next global structure.  They are fighting to remain the imperial, the King in the Big Chair.

US Secretary of State Blinken wants Washington to dominate the new world order.  Blinken admits the post-Cold War era is over, but he’s worried about the emergence of a just and fair multipolar world.

This is why the US ambassadors and State Department flunkies are out, all over the world, twisting elbows, bringing bags of money, threatening, coercing, offering development imperialist style, and worse.  This small extract of a speech at the Council of Foreign Relations tells it all.  What it does not tell, is why there are fewer US flags appearing behind Blinken in formal photos of formal visits, while this strategy to patch up relationships is in progress.  This is not a subtle sign, but there for everybody to see.

Reading the Blinken/Xi Jinping recent meeting is cold. Xi Jinping simply tells what he expects.

PRESIDENT XI: (Via interpreter) Mr. Secretary, welcome to China. Director Wang Yi and State Councilor Qin Gang have met or held talks with you at length, and generally speaking the two sides have had candid (inaudible) discussions. The Chinese side has made our decision clear, and the two sides have agreed to follow through the common understandings President Biden and I had reached in Bali. The two sides have also made progress and reached agreement on some specific issues. This is very good.

It’s safe to say that interactions should always be based on mutual respect and sincerity. I hope that through this visit, Mr. Secretary, you will make more positive contributions to stabilizing China-U.S. relations.

SECRETARY BLINKEN: Mr. President, thank you for receiving us today. President Biden asked me to travel to Beijing because he believes that the United States and China have an obligation and responsibility to manage our relationship. The United States is committed to doing that. It’s in the interest of the United States, in the interests of China, and in the interest of the world.

Over the past few days I have had candid and constructive conversations with State Councilor Qin Gang and Director Wang Yi. We covered a broad range of both bilateral and global issues. I appreciate this opportunity to discuss the way forward with you. Thank you.

Candid and constructive in these terms, indicates that nothing was accomplished and the discussions were not friendly.

This is why the interest in, for example, Kazakhstan.

“U.S. will allocate up to $100,000 to spread “American values” among “able-bodied teenagers in Kazakhstan”

The plan for the educational program is published on the website of the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Kazakhstan.

The program will provide opportunities for teenagers ages 13 to 15 from southern Kazakhstan to attend trainings that focus on teaching “Western values,” improving English language skills and “critical thinking” and “media literacy.

This is why Macron angles for an invitation to the next BRICS gathering, and why Russia says NO, NYET!  This is why we are in a full-scale stabilization or destabilization (depending on what will work for the moment) of the new world structures – Carrot or Stick.

This is the new US and Western Strategy in a nutshell.

If they are now fighting about who sits in the Chair, it is clear that they are NOT sitting in any chair whatsoever.
