    Whenever I read that the US is withdrawing its obvious influence from a region, I immediately suspect that the opposite is true. Influence through military proxy alliances, supported by ideologically and medially sophisticated disinformation strategies, coup d’états, as the course and catastrophic effects of the war in Ukraine in Europe all too clearly demonstrate, are usually part of this rhetorical approach to conceal hegemonic long-term intentions.

    If @RnaudBertrand’s assumption proves to be correct, Europe and Latin America will (...)

    • (... Europe and Latin America will) face even more difficult times in the next 50 years under the media-driven and by digitation controlled disinformation strategies coordinated by the US and British NATO hegemony, and more and more under open right-wing dictatorships.

      Some Latin American countries may be supported by the BRICS+ states in order to withstand this pressure, but 90% of Europe’s politically and media-relevant class now consists of a Western-selected nomenclature, regardless of which of the relevant political parties is involved.

      The Anglo-Americans will stop at nothing to maintain their influence on these two continents. Economic and ideological impoverishment, deindustrialization, wars and social unrest will be the order of the day. Schools and universities are already (not only in Germany, were these lines are written) and will be even more rigorously subordinated to these goals.

      The United States faces a growing risk of multi-front war against Russia, China and Iran. The optimal response to this danger would be a sequential strategy aimed at inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia in Ukraine on a faster timeline than China is prepared to move against Taiwan. But for that strategy to work, the United States must use the current window wisely to shore up the situation in Eastern Europe, broker a more effective division-of-labor with allies in Europe and the Indo-Pacific, and reform the U.S. defense industrial base.

      How to Understand Trump’s Russia Strategy

      Diplomacy with Russia is not capitulation, and talking to Vladimir Putin is not a reward for good behavior.The recent hardening of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s position on Ukraine has led some critics to claim that the Trump meeting in Anchorage was a waste of time. A few have gone further and alleged that Trump effectively capitulated to Putin in the meeting, drawing the obligatory comparisons to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Adolf Hitler at Munich in 1938.

      This is bad history and poor analysis. In fact, Trump’s diplomacy with Putin was a potentially game-altering move that could pay significant strategic dividends down the road. By focusing on immediate outcomes for Ukraine, critics are missing both the underlying logic of Trump’s moves and their potential benefits for US national interests and international stability.
