First time visit for me; saw your remarks over @ MoA, and followed your link. Your essays are well-written, and your years as an observer of politics and media are bearing fruit.
One of the things I find interesting is the gang-like behavior of the Blob. While both Russia and China have exhibited plenty of gang behaviors, they both seem to be evolving away from gang-turf warfare and into regional cooperation across gang turf zones. (the various nations of SCO, for ex).
Putin, if you believe the rhetoric, is trained as an attorney, and goes to great pains to remain within the confines of international law. Another example.
How is it that Russia and China seem to be traversing a fairly different branch of the tree than we are?
Separately....
Are you doing any thinking about bottom-up economic development? Top-down is owned by the Blob, and unless we want to remain trapped on the Stupid Train, we (the little people) are going to need a fundamentally different strategy than just complaining / chronicling our demise out here on the margins of the media space.
A brilliant analysis, John; but it is clear that Joe Biden is not a competent mouthpiece for Susan Rice, let alone the Blob. He is clearly the sphincter, out of which the waste products of the New World Order spray.
You didn't leave China out of the discussion; but China will clearly end up being the champion of this worldwide chess match. All of its pieces are held in reserve, waiting for the moment its ally Russia asks for them.
As Obama's hero Jeremiah Wright said years ago, America's chickens are coming home to roost.
