- THE WORLD STANDS at SUSPENDED MOTION WAITING FOR WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

The analysis made at the beginning of year 2018 - exposed at this link, can be considered, together with the one here available as background to the current issue.

Indeed, world political and economic stage, particularly in the West, is in tatter; old time allies bickering and puffing about everything from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - NATO; global trading war, and the contested international signed agreement about the Iranian nuclear program - JCPOA in jeopardy.

All the brouhaha during the meeting of NATO leaders in Brussels -11 &12 July 2018 is, in reality, related to the crumbling of the old west-dominated financial system ruled by the petro-dollar - as here previously discussed.

Political, financial and economic events (too much to enumerate in this delivery) are happening worldwide on a daily basis;
and accelerating at a breakneck speed that gives the illusion of suspended motion.

The impression of a sober observer is that said suspended motion might, in the near future of six months to one year, result in global changes - in politics, finance, economics, technology and social behavior patterns - transfiguring (let's hope for the better) the world as we have known it for the past 50 years.

To have an idea of what is happening, please do listen to the following radio stream that gives a comprehehsive geostrategic analysis about most recent events.

So you see, behind the big successful sportive event - Russia 2018/ World Cup, which captivated billions of people around the world, the global geostrategic scenery is fast changing.

Without waiting to see what may happen in the very near future, one thing is for sure, the old west dominated order - that ruled the world for at least 500 years is fast crumbling.
