The World Now Has Two More Global Challenges:
The world now has two more global challenges: One is in #Europe - #Putin and #Russian aggression. Second is #China in Asia and their push to become the new #superpower. That’s in addition to the challenges of racism, inequality, injustice, extremism and global elitism. (See The Neoliberal Round Podcast entitled “Ehi Rules America? on Apple, Anchor and Spotify @ Who Rules America...Corporations or China? On The NeoLiberal Podcast Season 2 Ep. 2 for opening arguments on this matter.)
China and Russia are #socialist countries with a kind of totalitarian system of government. While the West is seeking to develop partnerships and to rule by neoliberal strategy which pivots to corporate greed that is not easily detected, the East (China and Russia) is still living in the past using past values of a world that used intimidation and aggression to realize its goal of world domination and control. So, the question of Who Rules #America becomes even broader to #Who Rules the World? We have suggested that it is Global Elite across countries even though China and Russia have their own personal national interests that defies this. However, there are Elites in Russia and China who form and are part of the ruling interests in these countries. Without their support and approval, China and Russia cannot act. Hence, the application of the current sanctions on Russian Oligarchs which may affect their ability to continue to support Putin. These Elites in China and Russia are closely connected with elites in the West and therefore have business interests with each other. Each of these Elites success is dependent on the others success. This is why it is so difficult to apply any real sanctions to Russia until now, because all of these post-industrial countries (Elites) have interests with each other and are careful not to sabotage that through any sanctions that may affect their business interests and wealth.
