Will the war in Ukraine bring peace to Yemen?

The special relationship between America and Saudi Arabia may be coming to an end.

    Will the war in Ukraine bring peace to Yemen?

American intrigue in Western Asia and Eastern Europe could well be the beginning of a slow death for American hegemony.

The bear trap of Donbas was used by the American administration and NATO to lure Russia into a prolonged conflict in the killing fields of Eastern Ukraine

Putin was faced with a terrible dilemma, either Russia invaded Donbas to prevent a bloodbath to be unleashed by the Nazi Azov battalions on the liberated republics of Lugansk and Donetsk, who seceded from the illegal fascist coup in Kiev in 2014, paid for by Obama, Biden and Nuland, or Putin could stand idly by and watch a massacre of ethnic Russian speaking Ukrainians in the regions bordering onto Russia.

To the Americans, it didn't matter which happened first a Russian invasion or a Russian reaction.

The outcome would be the same.

Russia was to be broken on the borders of Ukraine and at the altar of American exceptionalism.

Internal divisions were to be exploited, coercive economic measures were to be applied and the Russian people together with the Russian establishment were to be forced to dethrone Putin and replace him with a Yelstin like a compliant pro-Western simpleton.

Russia would be finished as a foil to the unipolar new world order America and NATO have been developing over the last several decades.

China would soon become submissive in the face of American sanctions and threats to destabilize the country, destroy the currency, create a war on its borders and foment violence in Hong Kong.

A simple plan, that was always destined to fail.

The Russian people, in general, are completely behind their leader.

Putin is a real statesman on the world stage.

He has probably the highest domestic approval rating of any Premier in the world.

Russia, China, India and Iran alongside the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation are building a new multipolar world order where mutual cooperation, national sovereignty and International consensus will herald a new unprecedented era of peace and global prosperity.

The new Silk Road from China to Europe and beyond will be a boon for business, infrastructure, travel times and give unprecedented opportunities to Africa and the global South.

The Biden administration has badly miscalculated.

The illegal sanctions imposed by Europe and America on Russia have backfired.

Far from destroying the Russian economy, it has invigorated the Ruble and is laying waste to Western European economies in particular France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

With energy rationing on the horizon coupled with exorbitant inflation rates and rising interest rates, Europe is heading into recession and the cold war will turn into a cold winter.

European businesses will either relocate to energy-abundant nations like the US or collapse.

Biden who once derided the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as a pariah because of his involvement in the brutal murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist, has been forced to go cap in hand to that very same Mohammad Bin Salman begging him to increase oil production so Europe could replace some of its energy needs with American Liquid Natural Gas and Gulf oil from the Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

The attack on the Nord Stream pipelines was to prevent Germany from backtracking on its stated position to adhere to sanctions on Russia.

As European citizens across the continent denounce their governments' actions, it will be those very same people who will ultimately pay for the failed short-sighted policies of NATO and American administrations in continuing to arm Ukrainian fascists.

And so to Yemen.

The special relationship between America and Saudi Arabia may be coming to an end.

Having refused to succumb to American demands to increase oil production Opec+2,

Russia and Iran have actually cut production by over 2 million barrels.

This will keep the price of oil inflated and affect supply.

Some American politicians are threatening sanctions, a withdrawal of American troops from Saudi Arabia and suspending or ending arms sales to the Kingdom.

The war currently being waged on Yemen by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, is directed and armed by America, France, Britain and "Israel".

It is an indirect attack on Iran in a proxy war used to destabilize Yemen and further isolate the Iranians, while making huge profits for the western military-industrial complex.

America has used Saudi Arabia and its export of Wahabi terrorism to undermine Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen using the Saudis' own money and Saudi mercenaries to pay for and to prosecute the war.

In Ukraine, they are using Ukrainian conscripts and Neo-Nazism to fight their proxy war against Russia in Donbas.

Perhaps now as a rapport seems to be growing between Saudi Arabia and Iran and relations between Moscow and Riyadh are warming, Yemen may yet prosper.

If the Crown Prince decides the future of his Monarchy may best reside in joining the new alignment of nations, a by-product of that decision could be the full suspension of the war on Yemen and a lifting of the siege, which currently has tens of millions of Yemenis on the edge of starvation.

If the House of Saud joins the new multipolar alliance, it is "Israel" and not Iran that will be further isolated.

I pray for peace in Yemen, Donbas, Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon and I long to see the full liberation of all those countries from foreign colonial interference.

Stand with Yemen

Stand with Yemen

For the past seven years, Yemen has been enduring an aggression by the Saudi-led coalition that butchers civilians on a daily basis, destroys civilian infrastructure and residential areas, and starves innocent Yemenis - all amid international silence and complicity. It is time for this war to end… Yemen can’t wait any longer…

Russia & NATO

Russia & NATO

As the Draconian Western-led sanctions on Russia exacerbate the economic crisis worldwide, and as Russian troops gain more ground despite the influx of military aid into Ukraine, exposing US direct involvement in bio-labs spread across Eastern Europe and the insurgence of neo-Nazi groups… How will things unfold?
