Another excurse on "global politics" with a further examination on local implications throughout the world...
First the input of our reader and regularly contributor "Hadashi":
F: I read this morning that the British are preparing to increase their troop strength in Afghanistan, from 500 to 5000, to counter Hekmatyr's resistance with the Taliban in Afghanistan's south. The British control the heroin trade. Poppy production is concentrated in the NW of the country.
If you have been as mystified as I as to the CoW's strategy in Iraq, allow me to attempt to clarify the matter. Speculative, of course, but deductively persuasive, I hope.
Military analysts have remarked upon the insanity of the US-UK strategy, FROM A MILITARY POINT OF VIEW. But from a DIPLOMATIC POV the achievement of their objective, to impose governments which will serve their interests throughout the ME, the strategy must be quite the opposite, and deceptive.
Remember the Wu Tsui principle:
open enemies, secret friends. The objective of any government is to persuade a country's people to support it. The CoW knows that it can neither occupy these countries indefinitely and rule them directly, without perpetual resistance, nor can it impose governments which are not supported by their populations.
What is the logical solution to the problem? Promote the resistance and allow the "enemy" to win.
Who cooperates in this? Any party with a vested interest, which in Iraq would include both Russia and Israel.
Clearly, the US-UK coalition is suffering military defeat in Iraq. Given the overwhelming military resources available to the coalition, it could win a military victory in a heartbeat, just as we could have in Vietnam and Korea, but that was not and is still not the objective.
The objective is ALWAYS to leave in the wake of a military defeat a government that has won its "victory" by collusion with its enemy, while appearing to be the staunch "defender of the people." The war is "lost" but the peace is won. Cui bono? Those internationalists who will suffer no compromised national reputation in the aftermath of a war, when blame must be assigned to an aggressor, which in OFFICIAL historiography is ALWAYS a nation state.
Insidious? You bet your bottom dollar.
Watch as this "game" unfolds against Japan, the most nationalistically minded nation among the G-8. How to break Japan and compel her to "play ball"? China. Watch as the Chinese pawn N. Korea is used to break Japanese isolationism by an invasion of S. Korea, while China exercises its One China policy to take Taiwan, with mock resistance by the US. This will further isolate Russia, which is demonstrating signs of nationalism.
Watch as the Reconquista movement spreads further throughout the American Southwest, furthering the merger of the Mexico and the US (with Canada) into a North American Union, in parallel with the development of an European superstate, which followed exactly the same pattern contemporaneously: economic union followed by political union.
Watch as Anglo-American directed pan-Arabism reaches a fever pitch, with Israel being used as the irritant, to herd the whole of the Middle East in a single direction, into an eventual concordat with the EU, while Israel and the US are scapegoated.
Watch as Russia, between the rock of China and the hard place of the EU, is compelled to accommodate both.
Who are the big winners? The international banks and the multinational corporations who will profit from both the conflicts that will drive the process and then win at the peace tables.
The only way for the nation states to win is to refuse to be players. But as the globalists, who strategically control the geographical space between countries, have so arranged the world economy that international trade means interdependence, isolationism is tantamount to voluntary starvation.
Just look at N. Korea.

The chances and purposes of "isolationism"? See WHAT is achieved and HOW it is done - almost "IMF-style":
As in Europe, which has by far not arrived at the shores of "the EU" yet, where the regions have been setup - by first being feed with "financial aid" from the "EU-horn of plenty" - and afterwards being stripped of it - so bringing them even further in dependancy of the "globalist structures" who are always "there" in time - like locusts just waiting at the doorsteps of the politico-financial strip-teasing of the regions for a "friendly" take-over....
Iraq? Those brave US-boys and girls are being setup by their political "leaders". Nothing more to add - except that this has been happening lots of times in history before. See the Romans, the "crusaders", the Austria-Hungarian Empire, the Spanish, Americans prior to WWI and WWII (Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin), the common Jews in the Holocaust, as the German soldiers in WWII, etc.etc...
Just watch the latest killing:
Iraqi rebels kill security chief
The commander of a new unit set up to fight insurgents in Iraq has been shot dead in Baghdad.
Iraqi officials say Maj Gen Wael Rubaie, head of operations at the Ministry for National Security, and his driver were killed on their way to work....

Special forces downed by rocket ambush
Michael Smith
AN RAF special forces aircraft that crashed in Iraq killing 10 servicemen was shot down by a volley of rockets or missiles while flying “fast and low” at 150ft, defence sources have disclosed.
The first few missiles deflected the defensive systems on the Hercules from the special forces flight of 47 Squadron, allowing the others to get through, the sources said.
Investigators who examined the wreckage near the town of al-Taji, 25 miles northwest of Baghdad, found at least five points where missiles hit the aircraft on January 30...
