Regular consultations between the US, China, Russia, India, and Japan on the emerging world order would help jointly manage issues as they arise and therefore reduce the chances of uncontrollable systemic instability during this sensitive moment when one wrong move could unleash global chaos.
Who can trust USA when USA was involved in the Ukrainian "colour revolution" of 2014 and the extension of NATO membership that now surrounds Russia? USA also supports the separation of Taiwan from China, is covertly involved in Bangladesh and Pakistan, opposes Iranian sovereignty, is threatening Venezuela and supports Israel in its "forever wars"?
Also interesting that UK and France are not included, Nor Brazil, thus Latin America has no representation. Also north and south African nations are yet to form a common interest group to be able to perform on a World stage.
The US would do well in the C5 if it had Russia as a friend . When will Americans learn this?? We need to identify the neoconcabal, and push them aside. They are the ones who hate Russia and are causing all the trouble.
Good writing Andrew, yet C5, … et al, all that written is all distraction. Actually - please permit me to chime in, … it’s sort of alike bunch of distractions, … “can't see the forest for the trees” situation. I
t’s ‘the forest!’, folks. It’s a war - hybrid war, proxy war, whatever you wish to call it, … relentless continuation of it, … to a bitter end: Russia must be defeated! Period.
All those daily headlines, headlines, Trump, Trump, Trump’s musings, et al? All rubbish, distraction, disinformation, confusion, et al!
Current state of the war is the fact that, … unfortunately for the U.S.A, Ukraine (Ukrainian proxy war, that is) is working, but running out of soldiers and must be augmented, … and augmented now, … and how, … and without U.S. overt involvement?
Well, … by getting Western Europeans - overtly - entangle deeply in it, … and make the war simmer for as long as it takes! It’s an on going U.S.A. project. Remember?
Will the forward project alteration work? Dunno, … but if you examine carefully the rhetoric - between the lines stuff - Ukrainian proxy war is working splendidly. Slower than expected, … and is simply in dire need of augmenting! But what do I know…
Trust will have to be earned. This c5 idea seems at first glance to be a proper way to get a working detente that could possibly stabilize world politics for a millennium.
The G7, for years now, have absolutely no reliable reason to exist.
At the beginning it was the seven most industrialised non communist countries.
After, it became silently the seven more rich countries by this huge fraud: Nominal GDP.
With the war in Ukraine, it suddenly appeared to the eyes of a stunned whole world that the nominal GDP was a nothing indice. Russia, with 3% of western+ asian allies GDP, was able to resist and even grow in a delirium of sanctions. More, Russia alone, Russia, the countries with Spain GDP, produced more tanks and ammunitions than all west.
In GDP PPP( less fraud but not yet really representative of wealth and use full production) none European country is in the world top 5. France and UK are even not in top 8. Forget Italia. Forget Canada, Australia too.
So?
G7 is the name of what? The seven first economy of US empire? The seven countries with the biggest debt? The seven countries with the lowest industrial production?
An excellent description of the EU! I couldn’t have put it better even if had I thought about it for a few days.
The EU would conspicuously be excluded, presumably because the US finally realized that it’s now an ideologically driven organization that revels in grandstanding and rarely gets anything of importance done nowadays.
C5 = Pie in the sky! We cannot see sooner the end of the EU but worry about creating new superstate solutions emulating it. There is no AI problem because we do not die without it; there is, however, a global governance body in the shape of the UNO. No need for more. The problem at hand is Africa and her demography. The explosion of her population count needs to be tackled by transforming Africa into a huge production facility, both industrial and agricultural, at least at the level of being self-supporting.

Latin America is covered by Monroe, Africa and SE Asia are C5 commons.
Whatever deal Trump makes will nullified as soon as Dems get power back.

Great article and very insightful analysis as always.
Thanks for sharing it.
