Guerre contre la Syrie: La confrontation militaire de septembre 2013 entre 5 destroyers étasuniens et la flotille russe en Méditerranée orientale

Notre Cap de Bonne Espérance – Intervention au Forum international de Rhodes, le 5 octobre 2013.
----
Commençons par la bonne nouvelle: l’hégémonie américaine, c’est fini. La bête est maîtrisée. 
Nous avons passé le Cap de Bonne Espérance, symboliquement parlant, en septembre 2013.

Il y avait de fortes chances de déclencher la guerre totale, dans la mesure où les volontés d’acier de l’Amérique et de l’Eurasie s’étaient mesurées en  Méditerranée orientale. Il nous faudra un certain temps avant de percevoir la réalisation de ce à quoi nous avons travaillé dans l’ombre, et c’est normal pour des événements d’une telle grandeur. Les turbulences aux USA, depuis la folle course poursuite à Washington jusqu’à la fermeture de l’administration fédérale et la possibilité du défaut de paiement,  sont les conséquences de ce moment historique là........mondialisation.ca
