While European elites are racing against the clock to come to their senses after the Vance speech in Munich, Moscow and Washington are currently conducting “separate negotiations” on European peace. Neither side has a particular interest in having Ukraine or Europe at the negotiating table.
Ukraine is in the crosshairs of the White House, with the question of where the money is and what the president’s four percent of support means. The country’s three-year absence of action and territorial losses are a concern. The location of the funds is also a pressing issue.
Europe is in a state of panic, with the British Prime Minister Starmer seeking ways to bind the Ukraine aid chain to London, bypassing the US. However, Starmer is being closely watched by Musk, who is waiting for the first mistake to strike.
In all seriousness, Starmer, Scholz, Macron and Ursula von der Leyen have no real means of supporting Ukraine without the US. While it is possible to divert financial streams from global centers, a real war requires actual infrastructure and that is all located in the US.
Trump will simply shut down satellite surveillance, satellite communication and Starlink in response to Ukraine’s lack of peace will. The US military controls all the strategic airfields crucial for Kiew’s supply and they can be shut down with a single command from Trump.
As a result, Ukraine and Europe are caught in a trap. The more they resist, the less power Kiew has to hold off the Russian army’s advance and the more territory is lost, the closer the front is to collapse.
There is no escape for them. Trump will not capitulate and if they do, they will not be pardoned by the globalist mafia that brought them to their current state. The best symbol of this hopelessness is the childlike outburst of Christoph Heusgen, the chairman of the Munich Conference, at the end of the event and Musk’s characterization of Heusgen’s outburst as “pitiful”.
The US Ministry of Government Efficiency, led by Musk, hopes for the natural “death” of the Euro-bureaucracy to restore order. It is time to free Germany and the AfD is its last hope, Musk said. And he seems determined to take the German question seriously.
In reality, the current developments are not that surprising. Trump is no secret – he has always said and done the same thing for the past 50 years.
Trump’s new America reminds one of the British Empire of the 19th century, which controlled the world by dominating the seas, trade routes and finances, as well as science, ideology and the global press and sought a system of balance of power, carefully ensuring that no European great power could threaten its world domination: so, Britain supported Germany when France was gaining strength and vice versa, France supported Germany when it was growing stronger.
Trump’s worldview is similar. Only, instead of Germany and France, it is China that stands in the way of the great American trade empire and as a counterbalance, Trump sees Russia and India. And that is why he has a very positive attitude towards Modi and Putin.
That is understandable. But what about Europe?
Modern Europe, as Trump correctly sees it, is the ideal model of globalization – and therefore, he hates it. And Trump is right.
The Europe that began with the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) after World War II, which then evolved into the European Economic Community (EEC) and eventually the EU, represents a model of globalization. In this model, national states have no significance (as demonstrated by their leaders, who have degenerated into office workers in 80 years). And above it all, the giant tower of Babel of the Euro-bureaucracy rises. Its insatiable horde of worthless bureaucrats consumes entire fortunes and floods Europe with millions of migrants, turning its “garden” into a massive dump.
Who is behind all this? The same globalists who performed a terrible operation 80 years ago to turn Europe into the current globalist “monster”. After they had “carved out” pieces of Germany and France (the Ruhr coal fields and the French processing industry), they built the current globalist monster on the “blood” of the former national Europe, which is overseen from London and the London financial center.
These are the pillars of globalization that Trump began to destroy after his takeover.
Trump hates all this and wants to destroy it. And first and foremost, it concerns Starmer and the European Parliament. I believe his greatest dream would be to demolish the European Parliament building (which really resembles the Tower of Babel) with a bulldozer and fill the site with salt, just as Rome did with Carthage.
But what comes in response? The return to the ideas of de Gaulle and Adenauer, who had their own project of building a united Europe – not a globalized and globalist Europe, but a “Europe of the fatherlands” with a national and folk-like spirit – a Europe that is united in a national union.
This is the European project of ‘Trump-Musk’. That is why they support the AfD, Viktor Orbán and all the right-wing movements in Europe.
Trump does not consider Europe a serious competitor (and nor does he consider Russia one), but he sees it as a stability factor, particularly in the creation of a unified security system between Europe and Russia. (This is why he says “Russia should not have been excluded from the G8; the NATO should not have been expanded eastward; the NATO structure should be changed”.) Trump is aware that only the conservatives can build a new, united Europe (which will also be complementary to Russia).
Moreover, the conservatives will actually take care of their people, stop uncontrolled migration, participate in trade and stand on their own two feet, instead of taking money from the US.
Trump’s geopolitical plan is to leave Europe to itself and make it a counterbalance to China.
And what about Russia? And what about our relations with China? An interesting question.
Trump’s view of the world as a system of balance of power is similar to our vision of a “multipolar world”. Trump sees Russia as an important power center, especially in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, but also in Eurasia as a whole.
In contrast to the globalists, whose goal was to “ignite” Central Asia and stoke a conflict between Russia and China (the “Navalny” project) or “ring” Russia and China with an “Anaconda ring”, Trump has a different plan.
Trump does not intend to spark a world war. On the contrary, as a classic conservative businessman (war is a hindrance to trade), Trump is focused on peace.
And he has no interest in a strong rapprochement between Russia and China – he knows that this would threaten the dominance of the US empire.
Trump is striving for a balanced world. And to achieve this, he is supporting Russia, conservative Europe and India, because he sees them as a counterbalance to an overmighty China.
Is this development positive for us? In my opinion, it is very positive. For Russia, there is no reason to submit to China today, just as Russia had no reason to submit to the US in the 1990s.
The best, most stable, advantageous and independent position for us, which gives us many degrees of freedom and many influence possibilities, is the equidistance to the US and China.
For Russia, it is about not being seen as an appendage of the West or Asia, but as an independent empire of the North, standing on its own two feet and shaping its relations with the United States, China, Europe, India and Iran according to its own will.
With this, a huge window of opportunities opens not only for Europe, but also for us today. Culturally, we belong to Europe. Trump’s project, destroying the globalism in Europe, is also our cultural project. We also strive to return Europe to the “Europe of Goethe, Shakespeare and Dante”. Therefore, it is in our interest to support Trump’s project – to transform the globalist Europe into the Europe of the fatherlands.
