US/EU - Unfit to Be True Friends of Black Africa, Russia/China Alliance - Game Changer!

Post by Horus » 02 Jul 2021, 02:13

The unipolar world order of the US superpower is no more.

The bipolar world order of the two super powers- US & Russia is no more.

We now live in a world of multipolar world order where America, Russia, China play the leading role followed by emerging powers such as EU, India, AU and other regional powers like Japan, Turkey, etc

What is most significant is the growing Russia-China alliance against the US/EU alliance.

China and India are in an historical hostility and hence it is possible that India might lean towards USA.

EU is asserting more and more independence away from America to grow its own European power center.

In short, there is no unipolar world order under America hegemony.

when it comes to Africa and the global black race, America is least fit and least trusted power to be a true friend of black people. This is reflected in the history of American policy towards Ethiopia. America stood on the wrong side every time Ethiopia tried to stand on its own feet.

Nothing is a more glaring witness than American role in the ethnic division and destabilization the Ethiopian state for the last 70 plus years.

As we speak China has more economic influence over Ethiopia than USA and its financial tools the Bank & IMF.

As we speak Russia has more military and security influence in Ethiopia than Egypt's sugar daddy USA.

The emerging Russia/China alliance is a refreshing welcome for the Horn of Africa.

If America wants to have meaningful influence in the Horn of Africa and Ethiopia, it needs to free itself from the racist treatment of Ethiopia and meddling in Ethiopian internal matters and respect/ support the national aspirations of our people and our state.

America, by allying itself with the terrorist anti-Ethiopian TPLF, can only lose its fragile relationship with not only Ethiopia but the whole of African continent.



here is a wikipedia note on multipolarity ....


What is a Multipolar Global Order?

“Multipolarity is a distribution of power in which more than two nation-states have nearly equal amounts of military, cultural, and economic influence.
Polarity in international relations is any of the various ways in which power is distributed within the international system. It describes the nature of the international system at any given period of time. One generally distinguishes three types of systems: unipolarity, bipolarity, and multipolarity for three or more centers of power.[1] The type of system is completely dependent on the distribution of power and influence of states in a region or globally.

Scholars differ as to whether bipolarity or unipolarity is likely to produce the most stable and peaceful outcomes. Kenneth Waltz and John Mearsheimer are among those who argue that bipolarity tends to generate relatively more stability,[2][3] whereas John Ikenberry and William Wohlforth are among those arguing for the stabilizing impact of unipolarity. Some scholars, such as Karl Deutsch and J. David Singer argued that multipolarity was the most stable structure.[4]
It is widely believed amongst theorists in international relations that the post–Cold War international system is unipolar: The United States' defense spending is "close to half of global military expenditures; a blue-water navy superior to all others combined; a chance at a powerful nuclear first strike over its erstwhile foe, Russia; a defense research and development budget that is 80 percent of the total defense expenditures of its most obvious future competitor, China; and unmatched global power-projection capabilities."[5]

Scholars disagree about the sources and stability of U.S. unipolarity. Realist international relations scholar argue that unipolarity is rooted in the superiority of U.S. material power since the end of the Cold War. Liberal international relations scholar John Ikenberry attributes U.S. hegemony in part to what he says are commitments and self-restraint that the United States established through the creation of international institutions (such as the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization). Constructivist scholar Martha Finnemore argues that legitimation and institutionalization are key components of unipolarity. “
