FOUR PHOENIXES RISING FROM THEIR OWN ASHES—AFGHANISTAN, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, AND PALESTINE
✍️
Written by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️
In Greek mythology the phoenix was not a city in Arizona, but a magically endowed bird of divine beauty that would live for several hundred years in the deserts of the Arabia. When its beauty and power were on the brink of waning due to old age, it would mount on a funeral pyre which its magic would cause to burst into flame. From the fire, old age and declining power would be reduced to ashes from which the phoenix would rise again with new youth and vigor to live out yet another cycle, attracting and bewitching new generations for yet more centuries to come.
After the start of the Korean War, there were two notable phoenix economies—Germany and Japan. Other economies could be added, but these were the two major ones. Depending on misplaced trust in the United States, they both reached their peak and are now in rapid decline.
Most recently, we have three Eurasian phoenixes emerging from international community sanction constructed funeral pyres meant to reduce them to ashes. They are Afghanistan, Iran, and North Korea.
In Afghanistan's case, America set afire a funeral pyre of asset freezing and financial sanctions designed to create mass starvation and destabilization. The funeral pyre blazed brightly, but the new government confounded world opinion by showing expert economic and political management skills. Moreover, it benefitted greatly from the wars the Collective West is waging in Ukraine and Palestine. In only three years, it has managed to normalize relations with all surrounding countries, including Russia and China, build the first part of a railway system designed to turn it into a Central Asian transportation hub, increase agricultural production, largely eliminate opium production, begin exporting crude oil, and create the most stable currency in Central and South Asia.
Iran, too, though for many decades undergoing sanctions hell, turned this to its own advantage through the forced development of its own technology, both military and civilian. With the stimulus provided by the start of Western supported wars in Ukraine and West Asia, Iranian developed technology made it the greatest power in West Asia, both in military and in economic terms. It is stable. It is feared by both Israel and the United States. And, due to the rapid de-dollarization of the world economy and to Russian and Chinese trade, its economy is booming.
Then, there is North Korea. It is still vilified in the United States, Japan, and South Korea. And, if the reports issuing from these sources are to be believed, its economy should now be at Old Stone Age levels, simply because its government is communist. And, to make this come true, the United States, Japan and South Korea have used every technique possible to create sanctions hell for North Korea and cut it off from the world.
Additionally, they make it almost impossible for their own citizens to travel to that country and see what things are like for themselves. We have to assume that they would only do that if they had something to hide people from—like clean cities, well-dressed and well-fed people, free education, free health care, free public housing, no unemployment, the highest birth rate in East Asia, and, thanks to Western adventurism in Ukraine and West Asia, a now booming export-oriented economy! In military terms, they produce hypersonic missiles, nuclear weapons (including nuclear submarines), and have an ever more ambitious space program.
There is a lesson here. Rebirth requires death and destruction. If there is a just God, this would suggest that once it emerges from its present Israeli funeral pyre, and after it defeats Israel, Palestine will emerge from its own ashes to become the world's newest phoenix.
