Geopolitics Quotes

“It has to be admitted that starving nations never seem to be quite so starving that they cannot afford to have far more expensive armaments than anybody else.”
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

“Most Americans are close to total ignorance about the world. They are ignorant. That is an unhealthy condition in a country in which foreign policy has to be endorsed by the people if it is to be pursued. And it makes it much more difficult for any president to pursue an intelligent policy that does justice to the complexity of the world.”
― Zbigniew Brzezinski

“[American exceptionalism] is a reaction to the inability of people to understand global complexity or important issues like American energy dependency. Therefore, they search for simplistic sources of comfort and clarity. And the people that they are now selecting to be, so to speak, the spokespersons of their anxieties are, in most cases, stunningly ignorant.”
― Zbigniew Brzezinski

“Gentlemen, the world rapidly approaches a convergence point… the very future of civilization hangs in the balance.”

“For the first time we can perceive something of the real proportion of features and events on the stage of the whole world, and may seek a formula which shall express certain aspects, at any rate, of geographical causation in universal history.”
― Halford John Mackinder

“When [Ivan] Ilyin wrote that the art of politics was “identifying and neutralizing the enemy,” he did not mean that statesmen should ascertain which foreign power actually posed a threat. He meant that politics began with a leader’s decision about which foreign enmity will consolidate a dictatorship. Russia’s real geopolitical problem was China. But precisely because Chinese power was real and proximate, considering Russia’s actual geopolitics might lead to depressing conclusions.

The West was chosen as an enemy precisely because it represented no threat to Russia. Unlike China, the EU had no army and no long border with Russia. The United States did have an army, but had withdrawn the vast majority of its troops from the European continent: from about 300,000 in 1991 to about 60,000 in 2012. NATO still existed and had admitted former communist countries of eastern Europe. But President Barack Obama had cancelled an American plan to build a missile defense system in eastern Europe in 2009, and in 2010 Russia was allowing American planes to fly through Russian airspace to supply American forces in Afghanistan. No Russian leader feared a NATO invasion in 2011 or 2012, or even pretended to.”
― Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

“Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.”

“In Europe, a system of order had been founded on the careful sequestration of moral absolutes from political endeavors—if only because attempts to impose one faith or system of morality on the Continent’s diverse peoples had ended so disastrously. In America, the proselytizing spirit was infused with an ingrained distrust of established institutions and hierarchies. Thus the British philosopher and Member of Parliament Edmund Burke would recall to his colleagues that the colonists had exported “liberty according to English ideas” along with diverse dissenting religious sects constrained in Europe (“the protestantism of the protestant religion”) and “agreeing in nothing but in the communion of the spirit of liberty.” These forces, intermingling across an ocean, had produced a distinct national outlook: “In this character of the Americans, a love of freedom is the predominating feature which marks and distinguishes the whole.”
― Henry Kissinger, World Order

“War is the currency of political power.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“…and since there were no visible boundaries between regions or nations, lowell reasoned that the planet had probably reached a kind of geopolitical end state where a group of benevolent oligarchs had come to direct the social order.”

“The Planet Is Like the Titanic-And We’re Steering Straight Into the Iceberg.”
― Mohamed Dosou

“Democracy on Drugs, Sonnet (Operation Opium)

Revolution a day keeps corruption away,
freethinking days prevent genocidal nights.
Citizens without brain leads to democracy on drugs,
paranoia is lifeblood for power-hungry parasites.

Parasites thrive on gaslighting neighbors,
peaceful coexistence is a threat to political power.
Politicians remain safe through war and drought,
it's the people who pay with blood, money and tears.

Parasites don't have nationality,
parasites don't have religion,
parasites only have a bottomless hunger
to keep the throne by calculated cleansing.

Nationalism has nothing to do with culture,
fundamentalism has nothing to do with religion.
Win a war, lose a war, politicians lose nothing,
living off domesticated sheep comatosed by opium.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“I am not saying that the United States won the Cold War because of mass murder. The Cold War ended mostly because of the internal contradictions of Soviet Communism, and the fact that its leaders in Russia accidentally destroyed their own state. I do want to claim that this loose network of extermination programs, organized and justified by anticommunist principles, was such an important part of the US victory that the violence profoundly shaped the world we live in today.”
― Vincent Bevins, The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World

“In a civilized world citizen is the leader, obsolete is the profession of world leaders.”

“Earth is a planet of paradoxes, in the west the most criminal institution is considered most holy, in the east the most polluted river is considered most sacred - at the same time, some of the poorest nations are most humane, while the superpowers reek of prejudice and persecution.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“In English we say:

“White history sells the West as the free world, but dig into earth history, and you'll realize, West is the biggest threat to life and freedom.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“In the past, this tribe attacked another, then subdued it, and then moved on to the next — and so on, for hundreds of years. If we look at the political map of the world today, I think it won’t be difficult to recognize this nation and understand who is being talked about. The size of its territory should be impressive.”
― Anton Khapitskyi, Gog of the Land of Magog. Be Ready!

“From the moment the prophecy was proclaimed, Gog from the land of Magog was not to manifest himself in relation to Israel until the return of the Jews to their land and the restoration of their statehood.”
― Anton Khapitskyi, Gog of the Land of Magog. Be Ready!

“Study in Wildlife (Naskaristana 2801-2802)

I used to think I'm a human behavior expert, but more and more I'm beginning to realize, I'm just a wildlife expert, because the core horrors that torment society are caused not by human behavior, but by the animal within the humans.

Prejudice, dogma, ultraindividualism,
nationalism, fascism, fundamentalism,
these are not problems of human behavior,
these are classic cases of animal nature.

A terrorist is just a statesman without office,
a statesman is just a terrorist in office.

Whether someone is a terrorist or not depends on how much political power they hold. Yesterday talibans had no power, so ape governments everywhere denounced them as a terrorist organization, today they are in power, so naturally the same ape governments are wining and dining with the taliban apes.

Today zionists are in power, so palestinians are terrorists, tomorrow when Palestine becomes free and sovereign, and israel turns into a reservation for zionist apes, while the human jews flee to palestine for freedom, Palestinians will be celebrated as righteous.

Terrorism, war crime, these are not ethical classification, these are political classification, and when the power flips, so does the classification.

Ethics, morality, freedom, have nothing to do with politics - human rights have never been the agenda in the geopolitics of apes.”

“Be The Unpatriot (Naskaristana 2803)

One soldier's medal is another soldier's widow,
one soldier's glory is another soldier's orphan.
One nation's victory is another nation's mourning,
one family's felicitation is another family's trauma.

Soldiers pay the price, civilians pay the price, but
one particular creature always comes out with a profit,
it's the politicians - there's a fortune in warmongering,
if they can just sell fear in the name of patriotic duty.

So here I am, the idiot earthling,
begging you on my knees - grow up,
be human enough to be the unpatriot,
be a stain upon the nation's flag.

If your corpse can be covered with just one flag,
it's a sacrifice wasted in political theatre -
when nations join hands to honor your fall,
know that you've finally ascended human.”
