China is rebounding fast from the pandemic and its economic indicators are heading upward once again. It can’t be much longer before she powers past the USA on all fronts. Russia, though enmired still by Covid, is on course to see her economy rise significantly this year also. Russia has no debt and sitting on a mountain of gold ingots.

These two nations have taken repeated blows from the declining powers of the West and emerged stronger with policies and defences in place that likely make them safer than the unfortunate people of the Western powers.

They are now arriving at a position where they are able to materially assist other nations threatened by the West. The first of these is Iran, now a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), or Shanghai Pact, is a Eurasian political, economic, and security alliance. It is the world’s largest regional organisation covering three-fifths of the Eurasian continent, 40% of the world population, and more than 20% of global GDP.’

In response to the attacks made upon it by NATO West Iran has turned to Eurasia, to Russia and China for protection. An incalculable loss to the West as oil-rich Iran with a population 0f 84 million could have been a major trade opportunity for the West. An own goal that Russia and China will thank the hapless West for. The growing alliance of anti-NATO powers against the US and EU driver of world instability is a direct result of acts of aggression by the West stretching back many decades.

In the months to come, we will hear of Russia and China coming to major agreements with Iran. Russia will supply a sophisticated defence system to better protect Iran from combined attacks by Israel and the USA. China will invest in Iran billions of dollars worth of investment.

Iran is the primary project for assistance by Russia and China though at a lesser pace both Cuba and Venezuela are surely the focus of similar efforts, as too will be Nicaragua and Bolivia. The western elites clearly know all too well that the window of opportunity to damage these states and achieve regime change is closing. The level of blowback if they engage in such activities is rising. Their failing ambitions regarding Ukraine, Taiwan and Iran now surely engender a constantly increasing level of urgency in their thinking.

NATO has now announced its preparedness to use the contemplation of the use of tactical nuclear weapons deployed pre-emptively against them. If they miss the chance to strike now tomorrow will be too late. Will the military button-pushers really go MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) and be the button that incinerates their own countries?

There are few more dangerous things than a mortally wounded animal with nothing to lose in striking out at all it perceives as enemies. The West is descending. The East is ascending. Western political cults and the deep state who see themselves as the sole enforcers of globalism cannot allow their dominance to wane yet if present trends continue that is exactly the future that presents itself to them.

So, what is the NATO West contemplating in the face of a continuing reduction in their own power and influence and the rise of those they consider to be their enemies? It can increasingly be seen that they have only one significant card to play.

In regard to Iran, it is unlikely that a nuclear strike is contemplated at this time. The munitions used are more likely to be the kind of ‘bunker busting’ bombs used against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq in the second gulf war. These would be deployed by planes on loan to Israel from the USA.

When it comes to Russia and China the US would take full responsibility in directing tactical nuclear weapons to targets such as the Kerch Bridge and other such low-collateral targets.

These strikes would be presented as warnings only, events of catastrophic damage but low human death count. The media-driven spin accompanying the strikes would as usual claim that Russia and China are a rising danger to the ‘free and democratic nations of the world along with a demand that both Russia and China now fall in line with western calls for major changes of governance within them.

As with the most fervent religious zealots, there is no limit to what can be done to those considered to be heretics. This is the crossroads where humanity now stands. Two divergent paths travel from here toward two entirely different futures. Those futures can only be distantly seen in hazy outlines as yet, however, above one of them, in the not-too-distant future, hang the ominous shapes of at least two dark mushroom clouds.
