The \u2018War of Terror\u2019 may be about to hit Europe<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Never underestimate a wounded and decaying Empire collapsing in real time.<\/p>\n

Imperial functionaries, even in a \u201cdiplomatic\u201d capacity, continue to brazenly declare that their exceptionalist control over the world is mandatory.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not the case, competitors may emerge and steal the limelight \u2013 monopolized by US oligarchies. That, of course, is absolute anathema.<\/p>\n

The imperial modus operandi against geopolitical and geoeconomic competitors remains the same: avalanche of sanctions, embargos, economic blockades, protectionist measures, cancel culture, military uptick in neighboring nations, and assorted threats. But most of all, warmongering rhetoric \u2013 currently elevated to fever pitch.<\/p>\n

The hegemon may be \u201ctransparent\u201d at least in this domain because it still controls a massive international network of institutions, financial bodies, politicos, CEOs, propaganda agencies and the pop culture industry. Hence this supposed invulnerability breeding insolence.<\/p>\n

Panic in the \u201cgarden\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The blowing up of Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) \u2013 everybody knows who did it, but the suspect cannot be named \u2013 took to the next level the two-pronged imperial project of cutting off cheap Russian energy from Europe and destroying the German economy.<\/p>\n

From the imperial perspective, the ideal subplot is the emergence of a US-controlled Intermarium \u2013 from the Baltic and the Adriatic to the Black Sea \u2013 led by Poland, exercising some sort of new hegemony in Europe, on the heels of the\u00a0Three Seas Initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But as it stands, that remains a wet dream.<\/p>\n

On the dodgy \u201cinvestigation\u201d of what really happened to NS and NS2, Sweden was cast as The Cleaner, as if this was a sequel of Quentin Tarantino\u2019s crime thriller\u00a0Pulp Fiction<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the results of the \u201cinvestigation\u201d cannot be shared with Russia. The Cleaner was there to erase any incriminating evidence.<\/p>\n
