Trump is reorganizing world security and trade. He is doing it quickly and unpleasantly (to get it over with) using security and tariffs – because asking and negotiating didn’t work. To create the world order we have had three phases:
1 – Bretton Woods Order: Subsidizing the world recovery, and limiting authoritarian communism. (Cost: burning our industrial advantage)
2 – Neoliberal Order: Subsidizing world finance and ending the authoritarian communism. (Cost: burning our middle and working classes.)
3 – Trump’s Restoration of Traditional Order: Ending the subsidies, redistributing the cost of world order, whether defense or transport and trade. (Cost: disruption of alliances, economy, and ‘deep state’ – all of which were creations of the Anglo-USA remains of the British empire at the end of WWII.)
Retrospectively the world wars were the necessary end of agrarian land empires and the emergence of federations of industrial nation states. The generals were correct in their criticism claiming we ended World War II early. We assumed islam was defeated, and we failed to defeat the communists in China and the authoritarians in Russia. While islam will be readily defeated with little effort if exported from our lands, and while russia will shrink dramatically by depopulation. The chinese only slightly less so.
The end of ’empires’ and the conversion to alliances of Nation States – likely by race and civilization, will continue only after the remaining empires are defeated. The USA assumes they will outlive the ability of these empires as we did the communists. But chinese fascism (not communism) has been so successful at massive industrialization and trade capture that the outcome of the ‘debate’ may still be in question.
