The things the West does to China and Russia would lead to a war, if they were happening some 30 years ago.
The more diplomacy is used by Russia and China, the more aggressive the United States becomes, the more reassured of its own exceptionalism it gets.
It is time to re-think the entire concept of engagement with the United States.
It is because the United States and its allies have already crossed all lines and are now holding the entire world hostage.
Perhaps what we are all experiencing now is not a war, at least not in the classic sense of the word, but it is an occupation brutal and shameless. Almost the entire planet used to be occupied by Europe, some 100 years ago. Now it is occupied, directly and indirectly, by Europe's offspring the United States. It is not always a military occupation, but occupation it is. World is held hostage. It is petrified. It doesn't dare to speak, to dream, often even to think.
This is the most undemocratic global arrangement imaginable.
The world has fallen on its knees. It has surrendered itself, as if in some extremist religious ritual.
It gets hit but does not hit back. It gets looted, but doesn't dare to protect itself and its people.
