When I formulate my slightly unusual assumption, I would start from the most mysterious moment of the war that has been swirling for more than a year - writes economist László Bogár in his opinion article published in Magyar Hírlap.
According to an English proverb, never say never. During the past year, we have had ample opportunity to taste the truth of this saying, because many things have happened that, not long before, we thought would surely never happen.

When I formulate my slightly unusual assumption now, I would start from the most mysterious moment of the war that has been swirling for more than a year. The essence of the American empire's geopolitical strategy is to do everything possible to weaken its main rivals and destroy the relationship system between them in order to prevent the synergy of their cooperation from forming a conglomerate that can be interpreted as a challenger to the American empire. It simply means the consistent application of the millennia-old logic of "divide and rule". Embedded in this interpretive framework
the ruinous decision of the long-term German-Russian cooperation based on mutual benefits, whose symbolic "emphasis" was the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, is completely understandable.In doing so, he weakened both of his rivals and destroyed the relationship system between them, which means that his efforts so far follow the geostrategic axioms flawlessly.
It is also understandable that, for this reason, it wishes to weaken China, which is increasingly becoming its main rival, this third world war, which has just been started by the American empire, also includes a moment where the American empire goes head-on against its own strategic interests, and even, measured on a historical scale, already he is already committing suicide. Since the end of the 1960s, for the American empire, for the first time, the hope of intensifying the conflicts that seemed to be developing between China and Russia, then running under the code name of the Soviet Union, more than anything imaginable, by spectacularly reconciling with its mortal enemy, China. And then, in a logical way from his point of view, he tried to do everything he could to make China and Russia at least mutually suspicious and jealous rivals. However, in the current world war he has provoked, from the very first moment, he is doing everything to ensure that close social, economic, political and now military cooperation between China and Russia is established and consolidated, which would result in a radical transformation of the entire global power system.
This is the only strategic question of the events of the past year, to which we cannot give an answer using narratives so far. There would be an answer, but for that we have to go one level higher, because the American empire is just a straw man when viewed from a world historical perspective. Like his predecessors (Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French and British), he will be "thrown away" once by the "non-existent" world power that actually controls the world, the "invisible" global power superstructure that drives the plate tectonics of history. And it really looks like this "throwaway" situation seems to be coming in the material and spiritual sense, because
the total debt of the United States is now greater than its total national wealth, a suicidal "cultural revolution" in spiritual terms is destroying what remains of what America once was.All this could hardly happen without the consent and even active support of this superstructure. And if he now discards the sixth empire in the sequence, it is only possible because the new historical project, the seventh empire, seems to be ready.
I realize that this is a surreal assumption, but what if the main strategic goal of this war, so far hidden, is precisely to destroy the American empire with itself, so that in a decade or two it will "officially" include China as the seventh world empire. And in twenty years, Russia will only be a vassal state representing the energy and raw material base of the Chinese world empire.

As a result of Europe's intellectual and moral decline, it is becoming a miserable periphery, but fitting into this bizarre global scenario would perhaps give it a chance, which the French president already seemed to recognize in Beijing. Are there any changes?
