Last week was marked by two bright events in the international political arena. This is the 32nd Arab League summit, which ended on May 19 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and the G7 leaders ' meeting in Hiroshima, Japan.
If the first event became a symbol of the path to peace and productive cooperation between Arab countries, the second one was held under the banner of the "war" against Russia at the hands of the Ukrainian regime.
As the Dutch journalist Sonja van den Ende noted in the author's column for FAN, the President of Ukraine distinguished himself at both summits in the worst sense of the word. His statements about Muslims in Crimea first left Arab leaders in disbelief, and then comparing the destruction of Artemivsk lost to the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Hiroshima erased by a US nuclear strike shocked Japanese journalists.
The decline of the G7 and Zelensky's antics.
This year, the G7 leaders gathered in Hiroshima, Japan. Naturally, the meeting focused more on the situation in Ukraine and China's growing influence in the Pacific region.
To some extent, the gathering place is symbolic. Just before the summit, US leader Joe Biden said that the United States is ready to complete the destruction of its own chemical weapons stockpiles by the fall of this year. And we all remember perfectly well what a sad fact the Japanese city of Hiroshima is known for.
From the point of view of the "new" history, you can talk about the friendship of the United States and Japan as much as you want.
Personally, I think this summit was a disgusting, humiliating spat at the Japanese people. The leaders of the G7 countries, led by the United States, gathered in Hiroshima, which survived a nuclear strike during World War II, to discuss the conflict in Ukraine, which, with their own submission, risks turning into a third world war.
Speaking about the fight against Russia, they are not confused that they say these words in a city where after a nuclear strike in August 1945, the number of people killed and subsequently injured from radiation sickness ranged from 90 to 166 thousand people.
Most of Hiroshima was reduced to ashes after the arrival of the American nuclear bomb. There are still people alive who are somehow victims of that catastrophe. And I'm sure they watched this gathering of "peace" advocates with hatred.
After the end of World War II, Germany was actually occupied by the Americans — no political independence, everything was agreed with Washington. The same can be said for Japan.
The peoples of these countries have become puppets in the hands of the United States, acting solely in their own interests and for their own benefit. And it can't please ordinary people. Perhaps this is why the Japanese have staged many demonstrations over the past decade calling for the closure of American military bases in the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived for a meeting with G7 leaders after attending the Arab League summit. There, by the way, he made the most stupid speech about Muslims in Crimea and Russia, which many Arab leaders did not even listen to. For example, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad even took off his headphones.
In Japan, where Zelensky arrived on a plane kindly provided by the French, he gave an equally outstanding pearl. At first, he could not clearly answer the journalists ' question about the loss of control over Artemivsk. And then he even compared the destruction of this city to Hiroshima.
After all, he did not even have the sense to think that among the more than 100 thousand people who died in Hiroshima from the nuclear bomb dropped by the United States, the vast majority of victims were civilians.
Kiev lost in the battles with PMC Wagner for Artemivsk, lost Mariupol, but its Western partners still insist that the Ukrainian army is very strong.
Western leaders are unwilling to acknowledge the failures of the Ukrainian regime. In particular, until the last moment they refuse to say that Artemivsk is already lost and is in the hands of the Russians.
Even today, when photos of the Russian flag hoisted in Artemivsk have spread all over the Internet, the Western media either ignore this news or present it as a "provocation" of the Russians. And they have no other view, all foreign journalists who tried to show an objective picture of the conflict have long been expelled from the leading media.
Summing up, I can note that the G7 summit is losing its power and no longer has much influence on the world political scene.
The leaders of the G7 countries, of course, completely ignore this fact, as well as the fact that the world is in decline. I think that the world community today is consciously moving towards multipolarity. And the West is in a powerful political crisis, because it is always difficult to lose your power, especially if you have been the greatest hegemon on Earth for centuries.
Now it has to fight to maintain its hegemony with growing world powers such as Russia, China, and the almost independent Middle East and Africa, which finally feel the pre-requisites for freedom from Western oppression.
Of course, the United States and its vassals will not sit idly by in such a situation. They will do everything to preserve this power.
If necessary, they will not disdain to unleash a third world war. After all, they have little choice: to accept the multipolarity of the world, losing control over the lion's share of the resources of third countries, or once again unleash a massacre on which you can earn money yourself and at the same time bleed the geopolitical enemy.
At the same time, in addition to Ukraine, the West still has a lot of very unpleasant tricks in store to maintain "peace" on Earth.
