Any American voice may not count for much in most of Asia and especially in West Asia and that is quite understandable. Anyone in Iran or now in Iran’s neighboring Arab countries have an unquestionable right to question Americans and the government in Washington for countless misdeeds over the last 30 years around divide and conquer policies and actions that have created rampant chaos and misery that never, ever should have been meted out by Washington and its allies wherever.

It was Vladimir Putin who really posed the question before the General Assembly at the UN clearly and unequivocally a few years ago in an address in New York when he pointed to the U.S. and asked one simple question: “Do you realize what you have done?” (Or been doing for many years.) One answer to this pregnant question by Putin is that maybe the U.S. was aware of what it had been doing but it did not give a damn. And for not giving a damn there is, this year and quite suddenly in parts of the world from which no great response was expected so fast and so soon. However, much responses have long been warranted and building under cover, it is happening: blowback and revolt rarely before seen so clearly, and unifications or reunifications few could have imagined.

Central to all the change that is underway has been the leaders of Iran and Saudi Arabia shaking hands this Spring and saying, as Putin would, “Nyet” to more division, and further, let’s cook up some peace for a change. And not only between Iran and Saudi Arabia, but over Yemen and even with Syria, too, which will be invited to rejoin the Arab League soon after a decade of dismissal. The UAE is also playing its part. One can thank China’s leaders, too, for pushing for peace between disputants this century especially in resource-rich West Asia. A multipolar world is taking shape, and leaving Washington in the foul dust of its hubris and arrogance and divisive warmongering like never before.

And a change of attitude is also breaking out among the erstwhile vassals of the Empire of Chaos in Europe. France’s Macron returned from a visit to China saying that Europe must reduce its dependency on the U.S. which has deepened with negative results given the U.S. proxy war on Russia in Ukraine. And even in the German Bundestag demands have been made that Germany break its relationship of extreme subservience to the U.S. which is destroying Europe’s economy.

This seeming revolution is like the massive amounts of snow that covered much of the western U.S. this past winter now in a thaw, like perhaps on Iran’s highest peak, Demavand, racing downhill and picking up mass and speed. It’s hard to find a place on the world map outside of, say, Australia or Japan or S. Korea or Canada or much of Europe that is not now experiencing some exhilaration over the mounting and well-deserved rejections of fealty to all of Washington’s demands.

People want to create and enjoy a broader peace they have not had in decades largely because of the U.S. They want to breath more freely. They want to focus on trade and mutual benefit and cooperation between nations of different cultures and religions. This is the real “Arab Spring” of slightly more than a decade ago and which fizzled out because of Western and U.S. rejections and power moves. What is now is or is becoming a potentially huge springtime of more unity and peace for much of the world. It’s quite remarkable and it must not be blocked, must be pushed even harder whatever becomes of the U.S. in decline.

But no one and especially in the Persian/Muslim/Arab realms should be mistaken.

Because if much of the rest of the planet appears to be witnessing an awakening, or at least having already woken up and finally doing something real about their valid perceptions such as rejecting the dollar with some help from Russia and China especially, the same realizations are starting to burble up among many Americans, too, even though for now most are baffled and confused and way behind Iranians or Arabs leaders because of the mainstream media in the U.S. manufacturing consent, as Noam Chomsky has said for years, for Washington’s international misdeeds and wars with reams of propaganda and misdirections and demonizations of others.

Further, this is not to say than ANY government anywhere is “perfect” and could not benefit from some reformations for its subjects, but it IS to say that the U.S. government pushing its militant “empire” for decades and bankrupting the U.S. people with debt and with over 800 military bases around the globe has, in fact, probably been the least perfect and the least healthy for humankind in recent decades.
