Alain de Benoist on Trump’s Policies and the Future of the West
Alain de Benoist highlights that Trump’s approach exposes the limits of liberal globalism, accelerating the decline of the West.
Great Alain de Benoist article One must not be impressed by Donald Trump's whims. Behind the about-faces, contradictory assertions, and changes of direction that are his habit, there is an underlying vision: only America matters.
The rest counts for nothing. On this point, Trump thinks like his predecessors, but nevertheless with two major differences.
The first is that he no longer sees the utility of seeking to justify himself by resorting to the usual missionary propaganda in favor of sublime ideals ("democracy and freedom"). He says straight out that it's take it or leave it.
The second is that he has clearly understood that military adventures cost the United States much more than they bring them. This is why he wants to make everything go through commerce.
Alain de Benoist: It would be a grave error to believe that after the "Trump parenthesis," one could return to the status quo ante. What has been broken will not be glued back together. A new Nomos of the Earth is emerging. This is a turning point in world history.
Alain de Benoist: The critical threshold of the transition period between two epochs has now been crossed. The choice is clearer than ever. Either a planet ruled by a single hegemonic power, or a "pluriverse" articulated between several poles… The age of civilizations is dawning.
Alain de Benoist: For several months now, we have been witnessing live the dislocation of the "collective West," the end of liberal globalization, and the decoupling between Europe and the United States.
Alain de Benoist: The beginning of the end of the liberal era: the four main world powers (the United States, China, Russia, India) can now be considered, in various respects, "illiberal" powers.
Idem: International organizations and the UN have no strategic grip on ongoing conflicts, the Transatlantic link has broken, the Atlantic Alliance is in crisis, and NATO (whose latest summit resembled a contest of obsequiousness in a pickle jar) is about to give up the ghost.
Alain de Benoist: The critical threshold of the transition period between two epochs has now been crossed. The choice is clearer than ever.
Either a planet ruled by a single hegemonic power, or a "pluriverse" articulated between several poles of power, culture, and civilization - "grand spaces".
If Europe does not pull itself together, the final battle will be played out between the United States, China, and Russia.
Europe is agonising and its killers are rejoicing over the burning ashes! It seems a joke, unfortunately is a reality that is gradually unfolding. Cina , Russia, India and the USA are indeed going to confront each other in a Third World War that will level most of the blue planet ! Alain de Benoist has left out the Bankers, Black Rock etc, they and only they will decide when the war in Ukraine will end and if is more profitable to invest on the Third World War or plunder on the World Markets. This is the age of Imperialist Powers battling for new markets and profitable investments, a Genocide in the Middle East and a few more in Africa and Latin America are welcomed by all of them provided that brings back good Profit!
After the WW3 we'll know,now is too early.
