Episode Synopsis

We can agree with Sir Keir Starmer on one thing: this is "a world where everything has changed."

Those were the words that the flummoxed British Prime Minister used in a speech to the House of Commons on Feb. 25, as he nervously prepared for a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump on Feb. 27. As the British Monarchy’s envoy, Starmer’s mission is to salvage, at all costs, the Churchillian "British-American Special Relationship," through which the City of London and Wall Street have maintained their control over a bankrupt unipolar world order, ever since FDR’s untimely death.

Starmer’s second objective in Washington is to ensure that peace does not break out in Ukraine, that presidents Trump and President Putin do not succeed in putting an end to the carnage.

But Starmer’s problem is that the world has changed drastically as a result of the Feb. 12 phone conversation between Trump and Putin, followed by high-level diplomatic discussions between their representatives in Riyadh on Feb. 18. Not only are both sides committed to normalizing their relations, and to work out a peace that addresses the underlying causes that led to the war; the two nations have even begun to talk about possible joint economic cooperation on mutually beneficial projects.

"The US is now the enemy of the West," exclaimed the Financial Times’s Chief Economic Commentator, Commander of the British Empire (CBE) Martin Wolf. London’s Economist magazine agreed: "Faced with a collapsing transatlantic alliance, stunned European leaders this week began a diplomatic effort to salvage what is left of it."

Zepp-LaRouche summarized the situation: "I have the feeling that the European elites have really lost the connection to reality for such a long time, that they cannot adjust to a changing strategic situation… When someone has lost all touch with reality, you normally call them insane."

"Unless we cultivate a higher level of statecraft," Zepp-LaRouche warned, "we won’t get out of the pit."

It has never been more important to bring together the forces for peace in the world than this very moment. The clear freakout from the Empire at the thought of losing their geopolitical hold on the Global Majority, as well as the United States, is palpable.
