Geopolitics and International poly tricks

 

Geopolitics of the present day is filled with landmines with potential bombs which get masked by highly publicized, pompous parading in the form of glamourous and glossy global conferences and summits with widespread media coverage, usually, made to emanate from so- called great academic institutions and media houses which have created a well-publicized aura of neutrality, scholarship and global concern and hoard of other BS. 

 

However, no one can afford to be indifferent or ignore at least the basic knowledge or awareness of what goes on in that cozy club of economic and political power wielders propped by narrative peddlers in MSM and parroted by the gullible masses in the SM. 

 

We may choose to ignore but cannot avoid the impact of macro decisions, schemes, strategies ( all  euphemisms for manipulation) which manifest in every micro activity or issue. However, it is difficult to decipher the micro details of these global scheming by these cozy club which operates with all its hidden agendas, political undercurrents, clandestine control wielding overtones, lurking suspicion of nonparticipants ( like a particular street dogs won't allow any outside dog) , simmering discontent when some non-cooperative member becomes powerful and so on.

 

Then this club swings to initially subdue or resort to diplomatic wheedling, economic sanctions etc. When everything fails, they try to or start to use them as a resource ( like local governments making rowdies as policemen - Movie Catch Me if you can). The overall dynamics is too complex, complicated and intentionally a multitude of aspects are conflated to confuse. However, in general, if we can simplify modern day geopolitics, then, it may be broadly as follows. In the meantime, these organizations are like IPL teams, too many international organisations UN, NATO, NAM, SAARC, G-7, G-20, QUAD, latest BRICKS but none are meant to CEMENT the excessive imbalances and dangerous differences, each team wants to win, and every player must make new records to get medals.   

Some of the things are not even distinctly visible threads for us to decipher the knotty spots, rather it has no slubs and a clueless clew of knotted messy lump of  multi-coloured threads  soaked in thick mud of politicization further rendered fuzzy by the muddy waters of media interpretations.
