Comments on: Big, big… https://thenewneo.com/2011/12/06/big-big/ A blog about political change, among other things Thu, 08 Dec 2011 17:21:54 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Sergey https://thenewneo.com/2011/12/06/big-big/#comment-292742 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 17:21:54 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=11709#comment-292742 If you look at the world political map 30 years from now, you will probably find there exactly these 3 superstates that were described in “1984” by Orwell: Oceania, Eurasia and East Asia, but not in shifting alliances and wars, but in firmly established cooperation against remaining troubled spots of barbaric intrasingence.

This seems impossible now, since all the leading players with colonial ambitions are in poor shape and enfeebled by politcorrectness and pacifism. But this is a temporary condition which can not last long. EU is collapsing, nationalist parties in Europe improove their standing with every election, Germany is rediscovering its role as a dominant force across the Europe. Liberalism is on decline everywhere. Things move really fast now, and reversion to “wild type” known in genetics applies also to cultural DNA.

But the players change, since dominant empires go in succession. Their enemies are also change, being in succession wiped out by civilization. So there are periods of relative peace, when dominance of leading empire is absolute and stay unchallenged. The most prominent of these was Pax Romana after annihilation of Carthage, Victorian Age of absolute dominance of British empire, in New World – after wiping out of Cheroki after Indian wars. Now Islam fights for its existence on its last legs. After it eventually collapses, for some time there will be peace. But Iran must be nuked first, and its proxies – Syria, Hamas and Hezbollah – totally destroyed. This will require military occupation of Syria and Lebanon. Then Muslims should be evicted from Europe almost completely, so there would be no pool of potential recruits for Jihad.

When you can
A. Specify the exact conditions for ending the “war”, and make sure they are conditions that are humanly achievable (ending all terrorism forever everywhere is not in that category) then I might take your riposte seriously.

Intelligence agencies can not afford outing their informers. There is nothing unusial in suspension of habeas corpus in time of war. This was done many times in American history, and somehow rule of law survived this.

This is jumping the shark to just about everyone I know , even lifelong Republicans who hate Obama. Yet, strangely this blog has been very silent about these things.

I went for Barry, and this is what I wrote before reading your post:

After reading the title of this thread, I thought, ‘Another column on Owebama’?
