Reshaping Geopolitical Realities: Russia's Defiance of Western Colonization and the Global South's Stance
Exploring Geopolitical Power Shifts and Media Bias in the Wake of Russian Elections
As I read the cartoonish media coverage of the Russian election, I get the feeling of watching a big circus. The Western press already declared Russian elections as rigged without providing any evidence to support their claim, nor making any effort to present any evidence. It is, of course, not realistic to expect from the mainstream media to inform its audience about Putin’s immense popularity and election victory when nobody is allowed to say anything positive about the Russian president. However, the situation extends well beyond censorship or permissions.
The Western standard for accepting elections as fair or legitimate across the globe typically involves the victory of a candidate who aligns with Western interests and enables colonization and exploitation of his/her country by The West. Over the years, The West has consistently refused to acknowledge any candidate who does not meet these criteria as the legitimate winner of a fair election and is unlikely to do so in the future. This is why the Western press quickly labeled Russian elections as rigged. There is a name for this in The Global South. It is called “human rights colonialism” or “democracy colonialism”.
Once you understand that The West does not care whether Putin embraces democratic principles or autocratic tendencies, and instead focuses solely on whether Putin aligns with the interests of the colonial world order or those of Russia, then everything becomes very clear. Putin’s leadership, even if characterized by brutality similar to Stalin, would have been supported by the West and protected from criticism if he had served in the interests of The Western colonial order and agreed to the Western exploitation of Russia. On the other hand, even if Putin had championed democratic principles and fairness similar to figures like Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi, he would have been denounced as antidemocratic and a dictator as long as he resisted allowing his country to be exploited by Western colonizers.
In essence, the recognition of leaders in the Global South by Western colonial powers is not based on the character, actions, or leadership qualities of individuals, but determined by their decision on whether to submit to Western colonialism or serve in the interests of their own people and sovereignty of their country. This is the single criterion that dictates the status and fate of those leaders according to The Western Colonial World Order.
The world history is full of examples of leaders whose fates have been sealed by their actions to defy The Western Colonial World Order. The Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh of Iran has been overthrown by a US/UK led coup in 1953, bringing the monarchical rule of the shah back. Allende’s government in Chile in similar fashion has been overthrown by a CIA orchestrated a military coup in 1973, opening the way to the brutal military regime of General Augusto Pinochet.
In more recent history, Saddam Hussein’s oppressive regime did not pose a concern for the West while he was running the proxy war of The West against Iran. However, as soon as he demanded his prize (Kuwait) for his services, he became the new Hitler, and finally when he defied the “Rules-Based Order” by attempting to sell his oil in Euros rather than dollars, he determined his own fate and was subsequently eliminated. The fate of Qaddafi was not much different. He has enjoyed western support as long as he played according to the rules. No criticism arose in the West regarding his human rights abuses until he opted to trade oil for gold. His attempt to challenge the “Rules-Based Order” with this action ultimately determined his destiny. He was violently killed in a public place to serve as a warning to those who defy the “Rules-Based Order”.
These examples provide insight into the consequences of defying the Western colonial system. While history is filled with similar events, our current discussion does not center on cataloging such events in detail. These illustrations are shared to underscore a key point: defying the “Rules-Based Order” carries significant risks as those benefiting from the Western colonial system have demonstrated readiness to utilize ruthless strategies to maintain their privileges.
The beneficiaries of centuries-old privileges and wealth are now confronted with the realization that their era of rule and supremacy is coming to an end. In their hubris and overconfidence, they launched a war against Russia with the anticipation of a swift victory that would provide them necessary collateral and abundant resources and raw materials essential for sustaining and expanding their 500 years old colonial empire. What they did not anticipate was a humiliating defeat in the hands of Russia that would bring an end to their exploitative system based on extracting value from the rest of the world for the benefit of a small number of elites in the Western world.
The defeat means the end of 500 years of colonial system and with it the end of wealth and prosperity the small number of elite enjoyed at the expense of the rest of the world. Therefore, they will never forgive Putin and continue to vilify him forever for disrupting their parasitic world order.
The defeat of the West in their proxy war against Russia marks the end of a longstanding colonial structure that had benefited a small elite class at the expense of the global population for over five centuries. Consequently, the parasites who are used to feeding on the existing colonial order will not forgive Putin and will keep on blaming him for putting an end to their exploitative system.
Unfortunately, the majority in Tthe West, manipulated by the propaganda channels that serve as guardians of the colonial system, struggle to perceive the reality or are hesitant to acknowledge it, often due to their vested interests in preserving the existing colonial world order. The countries of the Global South, on the other hand, see the truth and understand its implications. They welcome Russia’s victory as it paves the way for their liberation from the colonial system that has kept them in debt servitude for more than five centuries. This is why the countries of the Global South have not joined the sanctions against Russia. Unlike it is presented by presstitues of mainstream media, the world is with Russia and recognizes the truth:
“The West is running a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine to colonize Russia and plunder its resources”
The failure to make Russia kneel marks the end of Western dominance and, with it, their colonial world order. This is why the parasite class in the West who has enjoyed the wealth and prosperity provided them by colonizing the rest of the world is in panic and become more and more ridiculous with their claims against Putin or Russia.
The prospect of a better, more peaceful, and fairer world emerges as Russia ignites rebellion against the colonial order while the Global South stands ready to follow suit. This is why there is such strong antipathy towards Russia and Putin in the Western world.
