The Incoming Multipolar World
Glenn Diesen & Arman Grigoryan
I was on the Armenian News Network Groong Podcast with Arman Grogoryan to discuss how different parts of the world are adjusting to the multipolar realities that are already here. States can enhance their security and economic strength if they respond to the systemic pressures from the new international distribution of power. The most important thing the US can do under multipolarity is for the US to accept it is only one among several great powers, as the efforts to dominate the international system will result in collective balancing. For the rest of the world, it is important to pursue economic diversification and avoid zero-sum military alliances to reduce excessive dependence and thus subordination to one centre of power. Europe is stuck in a liberal hegemonic ideology of how it wants the world to be, and has thus ignored how the world is - and the consequence is a continent in rapid decline.
To understand this precise and sharp observation of human behaviour in the western hemisphere, their true geopolitical colours needs to be examined correctly and deep enough to explain the psychological mechanisms in the delusional leadership and the brainwashed masses:
Systemic narcissistic abuse of the masses for decades done by evil psychopaths. Unless we fully understand the phenomena of narcissistic personality disorders humanity will never solve the riddle of the existence of evil and human suffering.
Palm trees look like Colombian wax palms but no idea why an Armenian would choose this pic.
Professor Grigoryan seems to have a good handle on all topics, despite apparently reading the Guardian, which nobody should be reading. A formerly great newspaper, it's now gone full NED.
I'd be more interested in a discussion on Armenia itself, in terms of the extent to which Armenia is effectively run by American-Armenians, rather than Armenians in situ. I am of course alluding to Moldova, which is reputedly effectively run by Moldovans living elsewhere: Europe, America.
I've only spent a week in Armenia but really enjoyed my time there. I was delighted by Yerevan which reminded me of Paris somehow. I will always have vivid memories of seeing women picking marigolds in the hills, for use in the local cuisine. A reminder of a simpler lifestyle.
