The current world trend is that, on the one hand, Russia has won the strategic initiative in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and on the other hand, the Palestinian people have won unprecedented overwhelming sympathy and support in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The US, the big boss behind Ukraine and Israel, is in a bind. Ukraine and Israel will lose if the US does not go to war itself. However, the US itself would have little hope of winning the next war, because its opponent would be a Russia-China-Iran alliance. There’s no way out for the US this time, is there?
The greatest game the human race has ever played is unfolding before our eyes. The impact on us can only be described as thrilling. It is also an extreme test of human wisdom. Even Nepal is unlikely to stay out of it.
Nepal has accepted a “gift” from the US, the MCC, so Nepal is in the great game. One side of the game is the US and the West, and the other side is China, Russia and Iran.
At present, war is raging in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and war clouds are gathering in the Western Pacific. Russia, Iran, and China confront the US in all three directions at once. I personally don’t think the US has the power to push the MCC hard at the moment. In fact, the MCC for Nepal is like a chicken rib – tasteless, but a little reluctant to abandon it. We might as well store this chicken rib MCC in the refrigerator for a while and see how the Great game goes.
If the US and the West win, we immediately take this chicken rib MCC out of the fridge and make it into a gourmet dish. If the US and the West lose, we will keep the MCC in the freezer until it is forgotten by everyone.
