What do we have?

 

We have two emerging global financial capitals (this is a generalized concept, meaning the three components of this enormous conglomerate, namely, production and banking capital combined, plus its penetration into every pore of the state). These are the Chinese giant and the American one. And now they are slowly but surely beginning a battle, figuring out who will be the main winner in the international political and economic arena. Competition, damn it!

So, the US is inflicting indirect but sensitive blows on China. The first is Venezuela, the second is Iran. After this, the US will become an oil monopoly and begin dictating its terms in this most important international energy market.

 China isn't sleeping either, churning out weapons like crazy. They should catch up with the US in many respects within five years. Plus, they're not forgetting that war will mostly be waged by robots and drones. In this regard, they've made great strides, at least keeping up with the Americans.

How will events unfold in this arena of mutual confrontation?

There's no reassurance, for financial capital tends to do everything possible and impossible to defeat its competitors, shunning bloodshed and any crime against humanity. Financial capital doesn't care about ordinary people; even if everyone dies in a nuclear catharsis, the main thing is to defeat the competing entity.

Therefore, I can't bring you any good news, my dears, for social science, that is, political economy, plus the philosophy of materialism, point us to a heated confrontation between financial capitals, and this is nothing short of terrifying for many, if not all, mortals.

 But you're still relying on my knowledge of this matter, to some extent, to find some straw that we can both grasp at, like a drowning man clutching at?

And the straw is this: the straw is us, millions, billions of us. Alone, we are weak. When we unite, when we become united in our desire to end the war, the war can recede, and that is our salvation.

I am sincerely grateful to the American and Israeli people who took to the streets against the war in Iran, but this is still a drop in the bucket. Tens of millions have come out, and we need hundreds of millions to come out, primarily in the US and Israel, but it wouldn't hurt to do the same in other countries as well.

I've already published an appeal here, on my English-language page, calling on these people to take to the streets of their cities as one and not leave until the governments, presidents, and prime ministers of these countries declare the end of the war!

 That's what I see now... but more is needed, the overwhelming majority of the people of America and Israel!

Americans and Israelis, support the struggle of progressive humanity against the US-Israeli war in the Middle East!
