Africa-Press – Mauritius. By now, several analysts worldwide admit that the West has committed a strategic fault with Russia. However, the official discourse of top European leaders has not changed oneiota.
There is a plethora of thoughtless impulsive and aggressive statements showing lack of restraint and self-control. Hubris and geo-politics seem to have overtaken all sense of moderation and wisdom.
Instead of addressing historical facts and recent events, which have led to the Russia/Ukraine conflict, western leaders and their media are pouring fuel on the fire.
When the West states that it is the worst geo-political event in the world since 1945, that ‘world’ is viewedthrough the prism of Euro-centrism, strongly coloured by Anglo-Saxon influences emanating fromBritain, America and Canada.
This statement is, of course, not true for Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle-East. President Biden’s warning to China to keep away from helping Russia is the last straw that should awaken other countries to the danger that the US, NATO and the European Union represent to world peace right now.
Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean political analyst and diplomat, has rightly reminded French media that international diplomacy is not about talking to your friends, but talking to your enemies.
What we have been witnessing these days is unbearable; it’s as if the deluge of stifling economic sanctions on Russia was not enough, now European countries are conducting a witch hunt against everything Russian – from a ban of artists, musicians, orchestras, ballet dancers, opera singers to Russian sports teams.
