  1. The POWER of the "divide and rule/conquer"-technique is ageless and spans many empires globally, and throughout the ages, because it is predicated on human nature itself.

  2. You don't have to study thousands of books and watch endless debates on the topic "How US foreign policy works." Figuring out the USA's foreign policy is actually quite easy. They wish to avoid unity formatting in Eurasia, West Asia, Africa, South America, East Asia, and everywhere else. That's it. Rome: used divide-and-rule unto others, including their neighbours and using friends, hidden behind a history of hubris and jingoism. The British Empire: used divide-and-rule unto others, including their neighbours and using friends, hidden behind a history of hubris and jingoism. The American Century: uses divide-and-rule onto others, including their neighbours and using friends, and is currently hiding behind stories of hubris and jingoism... It means to AVOID the unity of all others. The imperialists and their apologist even chant the same slogans today, and still use the same strategies of expansion as they did 500, 200 and 100 years ago, but are too ignorant and indifferent to either know or care. As always, the warning voices of the sane halves are ignored, downplayed, "finger pointed" at as "unpatriotic," or as being "in bed with the enemy", and many other forms of equally "rhyming history." It is what they spend billions on every year so their empires can keep on marching marching marching marching to the jolly tunes. The systems and corporations came in droves for SYSTEMIC EXPANSION and all they ever wanted was peace...peace...PEACE....PIECE... A little piece over here for a little American/NATO base. A nice little piece over there, of the Nordstream project. A piece of the Panama Canal. A tiny sliver of those Ukrainian raw materials. A nice little chunk of a percentage of political influence. And ALL of Greenland... The meddling created by the own proactive divide-and-rule strategy of power then results in effects: Imperialistic meddling is always a CAUSE to which there will be a resulting EFFECT.

  3. The EU must become less invasive on the single state's domestic affairs, and less imperialist in IR. If not, the causal effects of disentanglement and disintigration will snowball.

  4. In 1907 GB colluded in encirling Germany/Austria-Hungary, with two "ententes." Look at a map. Therefore the 1908 Mad as March Hares comment was a reaction to these actions by GB.

  5. The history of East Asia did not start on Oct 7th. A long history of divide-and-rule/conquer. The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Endless wars, constant dissent. Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Same types of people and systems. Different times. Same games. ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been "divided and ruled" over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the "playground" during the Cold War. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance. Once the dividers have reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) so the own systems of gain can siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, all African dissenters, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. Give a weak mind money, and they will dance for the dividers... Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different rules. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas (most of whom are Christians), including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide and rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), then after 1900 as European colonial powers' influence decreased, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide and rule games on their neighbours. Forget "nukes". The "divide and rule/conquer"-strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be used invisibly in times of peace, AND in times of crisis and war equaly. Ever since the two-faced "snake" slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), human beings have fruitlessly warned and have continuously been warned, against "divisions" within a peaceful status quo. Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a "system" divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide and rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror", constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust... Create favourites: favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER, to those who volunteer to act as proxies... Point the systemic finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power... Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity." [Critical question: Who is "we"?] And that is what they did. And if you lie, steal, and kill, then that is what you are fighting for. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Europe are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a "pattern" of alignments which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the MENA region) against each other. It is how divide and rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? That is what empires have always done. Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them in the divide and rule technique of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams War is a great "divider." It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.

  6. Err...you mean the world should solve the problems the USA created. The USA doesn't retreat. It goes into temporary isolation, then returns again to benefit from large conflagrations.

  7. 90% of the comments here makes it clear why the global south should seek to balance powers and rather side with China, and other rising Asian powers...

  9.  @arjunratnadev  People who learn history and draw false conclusions based on their biases, will repeat history.

  10. Advice for the inhabitants of Greenland. Please look back in history, in order to see your future when Trumpypants comes. Please, please bow down when your "new friends" come, just like Hawaiians did 150 years ago (post-1850s). Then, you'll be good people, on the right side of history. Bow down deep, and don't be naughty, like the islanders of Puerto Rico, and offer resistance. Remember, when the money elites come from major US cities, to buy up and OWN everything around you, try not to be obstinate. Just give up all your prime ancestral lands to these outsiders and multi-national corporations, and don't resist. Dear Greenlanders, for in these two "histories" (Hawaii, Puerto Rico) you can see your future, when your "friends" arrive on your shores with their shareholder "meets & greets" and the political "grips & grabs" for the cameras, for the adoring crowds back home. Forget about an affordable health insurance, 'cos think about the bright side: you'll have McDonalds on every corner, and Red Dye 40 poisoning your kids. Laws? Hahahaaa... Who needs dumb laws, if you got "freedumb baby"... So you think you have a European strong big brother protecting you? Think again, because so did Hawaiians (British Empire), before all the "friends" came with their super dealmakers... Oh, and dear Greenlanders, don't be naughty and think "capitalism" is actually important. See Panama, as exemplary. A hundred years ago, they dared to think they could sell themselves for a good price determined by themselves, while they were still called "Colombians". Now, they are not "Colombians" anymore. And nobody cares, because they don't know, haven't been informed by their colluding top tiers, and therefore do not know what they lost. God forbid, do not follow the path of all those terrible people of Cuba, who dared to choose the "wrong" friends, when all your "right" friends did was to rob you blind during their Era of Robber Barons, taking it all for themselves and their local collaborators. You, the little guy, MUST be grateful for every crumb that falls off the richly-lain table. Should you resist, their wrath is eternal, and impossible to turn... You don't understand what any of this means? In that case, your future is already pre-programmed, and once your new friends (Washington DC) are in power, and if you resist them, their minors (dancers for gifts/Salome) will "demand your head on a silver platter" (allegory) to protect their power. It's about POWER. The future of Greenland is the past of Hawaii. They covet thy, and will get it. Afterwards, their hordes will look at all the broken eggs, and the "omelette" and ask: "But, but, what did you lose? Oh dear friend...your one of us..." Regarding the allegory, and regardless of all the variations or depictions: old power (ideology) does not like the rise of new power (ideology), if you are the original owners of the land.
