March 18th 2023: Tweets, videos, a quotation from George Marshall, Marshall Plan post WW2. Times change, so perhaps it is the revival of the Silk Road by China which should attract our attention. China which suffered the “100 years of humiliation” but is chasing the lead of the World Order. Ukraine is the “BreadBasket” and the “West” needs it. 45 minutes – then I recommend UCLA Daniel Pearl Memorial lecture: A discussion with Garry Kasparov pro-democracy leader and former world chess champion (Monday 6th March 2023)

“Our policy is directed not against any country or doctine but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.” George C. Marshall.

Outline.

On April 3, 1948, President Truman signed the Economic Recovery Act of 1948. It became known as the Marshall Plan, named for Secretary of State George Marshall, who in 1947 proposed that the United States provide economic assistance to restore the economic infrastructure of postwar Europe.

But also we know the countries of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, then there is Al Qaeda; the Taliban and more which appear to have drifted into near oblivion as the West decided to cease wars having eliminated brutal dictators. It is said that this is a fear for Putin ie he will meet the same end as Gadaffi or Hussein, at the hands of his own baying mob. The West have surprised him. Putin and the child grabber face the International Criminal Court
