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.
