Little old me can understand the wisdom in this conceptual frame and steps taken so far which indicate that it will continue.

Do people in the CIA, MI6, state department, politicians, etc., do they read material like this and realize on what is going on?

In particular, does the West realize that there is a framework, strategy, and implementation steps leading to a new world order different from the rules based order driven by the US?

One possible answer: look at how well Israel was prepared for an attack by Hamas

Crooke says one of the reasons why is hubris, which fogs the mind. Add Group Think and we see the outcome. Then there're the two additional afflictions: Megalomania and Pleonexia. The West is today's Dr. No. Will the ending be similar?

Thank you for the piece. Solid POV. I think he is right to identify chaos-generation as one of the prime methods of Hegemonic Madness. Their enemy is peace and plenty enjoyed by others. This is why what they do is not merely power politics or mercantilism write large; it is also motivated by what can best be called 'Evil' for Evil is that which fulfills its purpose and achieves satisfaction simply by spoiling Good. As such, much of the conflicts are less about territory and commercial assets per se - though they do factor in as in Ukraine - but spreading insecurity, thwarting peaceful progress. It is astonishing to me that even after decades of internet most Westerners are entirely unaware of what is done with their tax dollar and voting support. More evil...

The Russians are always so reasonable and the West so inflammatory and deluded. But who are those pesky 'Anglo-Saxons' they keep going on about? I think the Saker's 'Anglo-Zionist' is a far more accurate and clarifying term, but apparently the Russians don't want to offend the Z's and instead name a German tribe that hasn't really been around in about 1,000 years. This somewhat absurd label mars their otherwise refreshingly sober and direct style of expression.

Russia has been warring with Britain for most of the past 300 years and was the #1 enemy for many of those years. Even the short spans as allies were always known to be temporary.

Back to your Yin-Yang: That which rejects harmony must then be Dis-Harmony. Escobar recognized and named it the Empire of Chaos 20 years ago. A close examination of its foreign policies reveals the long use of injecting chaos into target nations to attain policy goals. It's the practice of a purely European Value--Machiavellian Governance Philosophy.

Awhile ago, I linked to the SVR's monthly journal where lots of insider writings are published. Unfortunately, it's in PDF which doesn't machine translate, and soon other events took over and I forgot about that project. I suggest Lukyanov's RT op/ed, https://www.rt.com/news/584775-fyodor-lukyanov-israels-911-is/

No. It's here and only in Russian, http://svr.gov.ru/zhurnal-razvedchik.htm

As you'll see, the archive holds issues from 2022-3.

Ah, yes. "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." - I have all the episodes on my hard drive.

And some may recall, his partner in that picture was one RUSSIAN agent, Ilya Kuryakin, played by British actor David McCallum :-)

Yes, there was optimism back in the black & white days. But then it was replaced by "Mission: Impossible" and the optimism fled.

Thankyou for this, such an excellent analysis of the flailing of a declining Empire.

Well….the key word is, ‘controlled’, isn’t it?……REALLY? -- “According to analysts at the U.S. National War College - and I quote - "in modern conditions, the strategic advantage is given to the one who creates more controlled chaos in a given period of time."”

According to analysts at the U.S. National War College - and I quote - "in modern conditions, the strategic advantage is given to the one who creates more controlled chaos in a given period of time."

An admission of doing evil rather than good. The sheep’ clothes of Progressivism, democratic values ,European civilisation and Humanism /Secularism is torn away to reveal the wolf beneath, intent only on despoliation. Gone is the earnest and kind American diplomat or influencer of yesteryear ie 1945-1979, if such a creature even existed at all as a majority of such people. We now know what to expect from American powers and their familiars. Expect blood,sweat and tears directly or sneakiness indirectly …

On the choice of terminology… Anglo-Saxon ? I also find it cumbersome. A better term may be Anglo-Celtic or Anglospheric , but that doesn’t capture the truth of the punch-above -their- weight Jewish/Israeli influence in geopolitical affairs or the satraps in the EU / New World. “Maybe Neo-Carolingian- Zionist” would be a better term altogether, to emphasise that the Iberians/Irish/ South Eastern Europeans are not the prime drivers of all this “rules-based order” nor really the most slavish satraps of the US/UK/Israel? Also an admission; I did not coin the term of “Neo Carolingian” ; someone else did on MOA.

In time ,I believe that Putin and Russia will start using the term Anglo -Zionist due to Israel being perceived more and more as an enemy- as the Russian military already does- and thus any reluctance to offend Russian Zionists in Russia or Israel will fade away .

IMO, the descriptive term relates more to culture than ethnicity; plus, Russia consistently says it has friends, Russophiles, within that mix. There's been more accuracy in the addition of the term "elite" also to differentiate between the criminals and the general population who Russia and China clearly see as not being able to control the federal or British governments.

Sure, Anglo-Saxon is currently like a unifying conglomerate term for those countries that ascribe to the supposed USA culture.

"Anglo-Celtic"? As an Irishman I really resent that. We've been shat on by our Anglo neighbors for the best part of one thousand years, so, NO, we're not part of this, nor do we want to be.

Unfortunately, the current Irish body politic is globalist, including our hobbit president and sad excuse for political parties. But we're not (yet) signed off on the Angloshere's satanic chaos.

No intention to offend, which is why I separated out the Irish of Ireland in my above comment.

I said Anglo -Celtic because Anglo-Saxon doesn’t really describe the New world of USA,Canada,Australasia well enough; as these nations are mostly a mix of British and Irish and Scottish and of course some German. Yet the majority of the original “ British subjects” of Canada and Australasia have forebears from mostly England and the Celtic countries.

I know well how the Irish have suffered ; which is why in my other comments I mention the Catholic Irish in Northern Ireland would be hardpressed to call themselves English in ethnic origin.

Thanks for getting back. Always appreciate polite dialogue, even with those with whom we disagree.

And no offence taken, by the way; just hate the thought that we might be lumped in with what I consider to be evil incarnate.
