March 24, 2025 (EIRNS)—Monday saw the continuation of what could possibly become a historic breakthrough in Russian-American relations. Negotiating teams from both countries met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following a separate meeting between Ukrainian and American negotiators the day before. There are many wildly diverging processes ongoing in the world today—some more transparent than others—and their outcome remains undetermined. However, one thing that is crystal clear is that if relations between the two nuclear superpowers—a relationship which had almost ceased to exist over the past three and a half years—can be restored to normalcy, then many other avenues to change the world for the better will open up.
Right on cue, the historic architect of today’s global imperium, England, is stepping up to sabotage that potential. British Prime Minister Starmer made a rare visit to one of Britain’s few nuclear-armed Trident submarines last week, praising its role in their nuclear deterrence—a message explicitly aimed at Russia. “I think they [Russia] appreciate our capability,” Starmer said, because it is “a credible capability.” A day later, the Daily Telegraph released an interview with Rear Admiral Chris Parry, who told the paper: “One Trident submarine has the ability to incinerate 40 Russian cities very quickly. That is a lot of food for thought for Putin.”
Rejecting this sort of overt insanity should be a no-brainer for the rest of Europe, which will only further be destroyed if it sticks to the British-led course against Russia. Sanctions have wreaked havoc on European nations, as has the arbitrary cutoff of Russian gas and oil. Now, “re-arming” packages for the mass-militarization of Europe, as was just passed in Germany, promises to implode what remains of their national economies if carried forward.
Another wrench being thrown into the mix is the horror unfolding in Southwest Asia, as the Trump administration appears to be giving the green light to the worst of Israeli intentions. The fanatic Netanyahu government, made up of followers of the radical Meir Kahane factions who killed Israel’s last true leader—Yitzhak Rabin—is now billowing ahead into its own self-destruction. The Sunday, March 23 no-confidence vote by Netanyahu’s cabinet, aimed at removing Israel’s Attorney General, will only further inflame a domestic environment that is already on the verge of boiling over. Will Trump let these radicals pull the U.S. into a war against Yemen, or Iran? How many Americans would go along with that? And will he silence those who don’t?
All of these crises remain unresolved, but should be seen as part of the tumult that is the collapse of today’s neoliberal world system. Despite the stormy waters, the door has been opened for the creation of an entirely new system if enough creative and ingenious leadership steps up to shape it. Trump’s efforts at normalizing U.S.-Russia relations are part of that. The release of the remaining John F. Kennedy assassination files may also play a part in that, as the narratives and blinders that have kept many in a state of being mentally frozen for decades can begin to fall apart.
Another key element is the role played by the BRICS nations, the Global South, and China, which have significantly worked to create an alternative vision for the future over the recent years. As long as these are not weakened or destroyed, they will play a central role in the establishment of a new paradigm among nations. Western citizens attuned to this reality, and to the understanding that any new system must take this into account, must redouble their efforts to bring this perspective into their respective nations. All nations share a common principle, and a common cause—a notion which, for example, was enshrined in the U.S. Declaration of Independence as “the pursuit of happiness,” or the pursuit of creative and productive fulfillment. And it is this that can be the basis for a new security and development architecture, as called for by Helga Zepp-LaRouche. Only this higher concept will be able to resolve the various crises facing the world today.
