Uni-polar versus Multi-polar is essentially the Fractional Reserve Banking System (FRBS) versus BRICS. It is understood by now the FRB system is the privately held Rothschild banking system. Dr. John Mearsheimer knows this and prefers to make his points in terms of uni-polar vs. multi-polar competition. It is interesting how he navigates painting a picture without ever mentioning the preeminent force behind any nation's rise.

I respect Dr. John Mearsheimer for his work throughout his career. He is a great academic, but seems to know better not to transgress certain boundaries. When John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt criticized the Israeli lobby in 2006, it was as if they just ran into a giant bell. The reverberation reached the desk of Israel's 5th column, the ADL. It was a lesson learned. In this case, I believe he is underestimating the technological and economic resolve of Russia. First, Russia is a very astute player in the world of technology. It is proving to the rest of the world it has military technology superior to the United States and Europe. While the United States reserves the very best systems to themselves, we are sending the marketed versions to Ukraine. The Russians are showing the rest of the world how inferior it is to their marketed versions. The Russians certainly are also holding back their most advanced technology, but winning massively in converts in the military market. As an example of the advanced technology Russia has, I recall on April 10, 2014 a Russian Su-24 was used in the Black Sea against the USS Donald Cook, a 4th generation guided missile cruiser, shutting down its entire electronic defense system. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode. It also is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System.

The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack carrying neither bombs nor missiles, but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. According to several media reports, the incident completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest. To this day, the United States doesn't know the technology Russia used against the USS Donald Cook.

Economically, Russia has weathered the western sanctions and sabotage the NATO members have carried out. Russia has removed itself from the FRBS and still manages to keep its economy in relatively good shape. This is not so for Europe and the United States and is winning economically. Russia is the force behind BRICS, not China. Despite Mearsheimer never mentioning this, he emphasizes his polemic in terms of a competitive struggle for "regional hegemony". Albeit, this is true from the lens of government and foreign affairs, it however actually is rooted in the struggle between the FRBS and the rise of BRICS. It is the reason why Russia and Putin are vilified. BRICS is in the way of a one world financial system. China is a FRBS member. If it wasn't for FRBS funding the CCP, present day China would have never existed. Yet, China is also a BRICS member too. How can this be? China is very good at using leverage for its national interests. This is a point that Mearsheimer addresses and is absolutely correct about. China has long had these national interests even before BRICS was first established. To keep China in line, the FRBS has promised China they would become the Reserve currency of the world. The CCP also knows the West doesn't keep their word either. So, China keeps BRICS and the FRBS close to assure China's national interests. If we look at the history of China to modern times, it is foremost an empire that has gobbled up ethnic regions after ethnic regions and has a horrific history of oppressive other ethnic groups. China continues to be hostile to every conterminous government and further.

Today's China is a constant threat to other nations for its persistent expansionist ideology. This has never changed since the first days of Mao Zedong came to power in 1947. Taiwan is not the only territory that China covets, the United States itself is also coveted by the CCP (read the speech of former CCP Defense Minister Mr. Chi Haotian). The CCP want territory in India's Kashmir, Bhutan, Russia's Kamchatka, the Spratly Islands next to Borneo, James shoal (Malaysia), which is only 45 nautical miles (52 mi) off the Borneo coast of Sarawak, Malaysia, the Natuna Islands between South Vietnam, Malay peninsula, and Indonesia, Paracel Islands, and the Scarborough Shoal off from the Philippines. This is where China in 2012 occupied the Scarborough Shoal and built an artificial island to house a military base.

Their present claim to ancestral territory reaches back over 2500 years of accumulated former empires superimposed over one another and the CCP want only more. The absurdity of this is like Italy claiming all the territories conquered at the height of the Roman Empire.

Taiwan is a fortress. Its physical geography makes it very difficult to conquer. Militarily, it has prepared for CCP aggression since 1949. It also is purported that it has even more bio-labs than Ukraine did and is a CIA infested hangout. Mearsheimer fails to mention this, but I believe it is the very reason why China is restrained from acting. Perhaps, Mearsheimer is providing us some insight to why he emphasizes Taiwan as being such a powder keg for world war. He emphasized Taiwan as being "sacred" Chinese territory two times. I have never heard this terminology used by any Chinese official. China for all practical purposes considers all the lands, either conquered or coveted, as historically part of China, not "sacred". Where have you ever heard a land as being "sacred"? Mearsheimer being Jewish ought to know. What is the message he is conveying? It appears to me he is proposing we need to give Taiwan to China because it's "sacred" and if we don't "Big Trouble is coming" (world war). To me, John Mearsheimer has tipped his hat on who he is supporting in the uni-polar versus multi-polar struggle...... And it's not BRICS.
