Until recently, alleged liberal democracies headed by the US led an open and brazen ideological crusade. Those who did not conform to their patterns and to their systemic, mental, moral practices had to be removed, or at least marked as manifest evil.
There were overheavals, assassinations, assaults, sanctions, and, in the event of a higher necessity, deeper fear of the "ideal infestation" – preventive wars. "Competent" governments were imposed, i.e. marionet, pundled, submissive and preferably corrupt. Through various maneuvers and foolish campaigns, lasting moral degeneration and the triumph of deviance of all categories were achieved. The effectiveness of this pseudo-bankruptcy order has been guarding and guarding the "repressive tolerance" in the Marcus style. The strategy of global force has late been improved. Degenerative ideology (especially in Eurokołchoza) is inactive in force, but American planet hegemon in Trump's day has adopted a simpler procedure. Those who are against US interests on a global scale or Israel on a regional scale (the threat criterion is purely recognisable) are subject to wartime liquidation. Appeals shall not be taken into account. Public aggression is used, even without packaging in any reasonable pretext. The perpetrators are deliberately breaking any standard of global law.
Trump has illustrated respective times how this order of force should be implemented. In Venezuela, he decided to enslave the country with “cheap” means: through the bandit kidnapping of president Nicolas Maduro, and then mastering the deposits and refineries of kerosene, the primary origin of income. The ideological motives have been under the blanket for now. The invaders formally did not violate the erstwhile government (the native socialism introduced by the United Socialist organization of Venezuela PSUC since 1999) and maintained practically the full erstwhile administrative apparatus. However, the conditions set by the aggressor: the meekness and submission of the Venezuelan government to Washington and the dedication of national wealth to U.S. concerns in the armpit surely undermine the endurance of the erstwhile system. It is neocolonial in crystalline form. The Venezuelan people so insisted on supporting Chavez and Maduro for 27 years, due to the fact that erstwhile they introduced the state monopoly in the oil manufacture they directed most of the profits for social welfare, universal employment and inexpensive education. This policy was torpedoed by further US sanctions and blockades, but continued. Since kerosene is now in the clutches of an aggressor, the PSUC governments have no justification. I foretell rebellions of the mediocre and the hungry, of course, in vain.
In a more violent (Iran) variant, breaking the opposition of a brave nation and state requires a longer genocidal war. The same objective: to make puppet authorities with a appropriate (for aggressors) systemic face and to take over further oil wealth. The U.S. is taking in all possible energy resources in the world. In gross propaganda, the appropriate nomenclature takes an crucial place. Russia's peculiar military operation in Ukraine is referred to as "criminal war" by the West, and the criminal war caused by the US and Israel in Iran is referred to as "operation" or "intervention". The Orwellian Ministry of fact works perfectly. Masses of subjects, pardon – citizens of the “free world” will swallow up any nonsense.
The UN's complete blamage in the face of these apparent aggressions allowed Trump to make a useful attrapa in the form of a Peace Council (?). There they reported the accession of a country with very different regimes and interests. They all presume that under the U.S. cape it will be safer, and possibly even make any money. For example, heroically defending independency since 2010, Hungary Victor Orbán was there due to the fact that the Trump administration besides supported Fidesz in the forthcoming elections. My attention was drawn to the presence of Aliyev from Azerbaijan and Paszynian from Armenia. I wrote respective times about Armenia in “Polish Thought” last year. This is simply a fine example of what can be expected from the Council of Peace. Trump proudly was forced in 2025 to "historical" reconciliation between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I commented on this event. It consists of the full surrender of Armenia defeated by the Turkish-Azeran company. She had to relinquish her rights to the war-lost Arcach (Mountain Karabach). She is not to be reminded of the destiny of the territory of Nachichevan, where the Azers even cleaned the graves of Armenian [sic]. That's enough. Armenia accepted the extraterritorial de facto road over the Araks on the Azerbaijan-Turkey line, which cuts it off from a previously friendly Iran. This is simply a Trump-style room. But the US will have a large share of Azerbaijan's oil supply and freedom in the economical exploitation of Armenia.
Invasions on weaker and smaller countries will be a lasting phenomenon. economical slavery will follow political submission. The puppet and neocolonial governments will rapidly dispel the illusion that the U.S. protective umbrella will be eternal. Bitter disappointment will come. many events from the 20th century, which I erstwhile wrote more about, prove that the Americans abandoned even the most faithful protégés with a cold consequence. Stubborn lovers of alliances with the US dedicate a renewal of the memory of the destiny of many countries in Indochina, China and Latin America. And how did the United States respond to Egypt's arch-faithful president Hosni Mubarak in 2011? Typical. 1 regulation will proceed to apply: whoever wants to be simply different and independent, even if he does not endanger anyone, will be destroyed.
