In response to The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is becoming harder to ignore

A rising Global South is unstoppable

John has written an excellent summary of the impact of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. More than that he has written something that should, but won’t, focus the minds of the policy elites of the West on their gradual decline into irrelevance to a future world.

I have remained frustrated for decades that the bulk of humanity remained under the Western boot simply because they did not realise their collective strength. Meantime the West, first under the UK then under the US, continued to impose their egocentric, self absorbed and vainglorious will upon 88% of humanity. The SCO, BRICS and other instruments of a growing South recognition of their collective strength is now developing.

It holds great promise for a more peaceful, prosperous and equitable world. They must cohere as strongly as they can as the US dying empire will continue to strive to divide them by the foulest means. They carry the hopes of the vast bulk of humanity. More strength to their arms!!
