The Western nations’ apparent commitment to geopolitics – to the old and dying system of imperial control of some nations and peoples over others – is the biggest threat to humanity today as it risks our extinction in a nuclear war, in all of human history.

The relentless and psychotic drive of the European, NATO and other elites toward militarisation, toward getting a war with nuclear-armed Russia going at any cost, is a very relevant case in point. Many are decrying the most recent, desperate push of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy and his controllers to get US President Donald John Trump to send Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine – missiles which the Russians have made quite clear cannot be operated without the US military personnel – in order to “get Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to the negotiating table“. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has called on the US Congress to act immediately to ban the shipment of such weapons to Ukraine, along with intelligence support in targeting the missiles. Trump, for his part, has not yet said whether he would make such a stupid move, about which President Putin declared in his speech to the Valdai Club on October 2, 2025: “This would signal the advent of a totally new stage in this escalation, including in terms of Russia’s relations with the US.”

In the other British Empire cockpit of war, Southwest Asia, an initial agreement has been reached in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, between the Palestinian Hamas Movement and Israeli negotiators for Phase One of a peace deal. Initial statements from US President and the Hamas team stated that all of the Israeli hostages and roughly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, who had been seized since October 7, 2023, would be released; Israeli troops would withdraw to agreed-upon lines; and the flow of aid would resume at levels consistent with the January 2025 agreement. The obvious and quite understandable concern of the Hamas delegation is that President Trump agreed to hold Israel to their end of the bargain.

“I think we need to have an additional approach very urgently,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the widow of American political activist Lyndon LaRouche and the founder of the LaRouche Movement’s Schiller Institute, as well as the German Bürgerrechtsbewegung Solidarität Party, told Pakistan TV on October 7, 2025. She stressed: “The Schiller Institute has been promoting something which we call the Oasis Plan. That is an economic development programme not only for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, but to actually develop the entire region economically by the development of lots of fresh new water through the building of a system of canals. One canal between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea, another canal between those canals and then branching out so you eventually create artificial new rivers; have desalination of large amounts of ocean water; greening the desert.”

LaRouche further said: “My vision of this is that, in a few years, you could have the entire region from India to the Mediterranean, from the Caucasus to the Gulf States, become green… I think if you want to change the dynamic in the region, you need a vision for the future where all the young people in particular have a reason to become scientists and engineers, to grow a family, to just have the idea that this horror show of the last not just two years – this has been going on for much longer – that it eventually stops, and that a future for all the countries in the region can be built.“

She continued: “The only solution to the set of crises erupting across the globe is for the Western nations to look to the better angels of their natures, to change their axioms, and to dump the system of war and geopolitical conflict. Our universe is not a dog-eat-dog, or a Hobbesian world; quite the contrary. Look to the nations of the Global South, of the BRICS, of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO); despite Trump’s tariff warfare, South-South trade is growing, year-on-year; new, cooperative ventures in transportation, energy, and agriculture are beginning in those nations; 7,000 participants from 80 countries are currently attending the ‘Inventing the Future’ forum in Moscow, discussing a wide range of topics from demographic challenges to artificial intelligence and space exploration.” Meanwhile, Russian President Putin told the gathering: “Conclusions and results of such a profound and substantive conversation are of great value. I am confident that we must create our own future based on a sovereign worldview.“

“I think the sign of the time is cooperation,” Zepp-LaRouche stated in her October 1, 2025 Schiller Institute webcast. “If the Western countries would signal to the Global Majority that they intend to cooperate with them on economics, on politics, on culture, on all kinds of fields, we could move into a new era of civilisation,” she insisted.

Koushik Das (born on May 16, 1976 in Kolkata) is a career journalist. Based in the Indian capital of New Delhi, Koushik writes mainly about foreign policies and current geopolitical issues, and rarely about other topics. His own political ideas are highly influenced by Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, Michael Oakeshott and others. English philosopher and political theorist Oakeshott (Dec 11, 1901-Dec 19, 1990) says that “in political activity, men sail a boundless and bottomless sea. There is neither harbour for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither starting-place, nor appointed destination. But we have to keep afloat”. (Rationalism in Politics, 1962) As a student of Political Science, Koushik loves to share his views on issues, which have great impacts on his thought process (and also on India, South Asia and of course on the global community), with his readers through his website – Boundless Ocean of Politics. By doing so, he tries to keep himself afloat. You will find some of his articles in https://inserbia.info/today/ (https://inserbia.info/today/author/kou_das13_i/), as he has been trying to assess the global geopolitics since 2003.
