IN light of the 22nd meeting of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) it is clear that no matter what, for the sake of sovereignty, development, security and the denial of hegemony, Eurasian co-operation must always prevail over confrontation.
Internal contradictions, such as India’s border disputes with Pakistan and China, as well as Russia’s claims in central Asia, must be transcended to ensure that the primary contradiction, arising from outside Eurasia, does not lead to the ruin of all.
The source of this primary contradiction comes from US-led Western capital whose intent, as demonstrated by the destruction of Afghanistan, is to keep the Eurasian landmass, which threatens US-hegemony, in chaos.
