Time Is Running Out For Pax Americana’s Apologists
By Rostislav ISCHENKO (Ukraine)
The paradox of the current global crisis
is that for the last five years, all relatively responsible and
independent nations have made tremendous efforts to save the United
States from the financial, economic, military, and political
disaster that looms ahead. And this is all despite Washington’s equally
systematic moves to destabilize the world order, rightly known as the Pax Americana.
Since policy is not a zero-sum game, i.e., one participant’s loss
does not necessarily entail a gain for another, this paradox has a
logical explanation. A crisis erupts within any system when there is a
discrepancy between its internal structure and the sum total of
available resources (that is, those resources will eventually prove
inadequate for the system to function normally and in the usual way).
