Marco Rubio’s first foreign trip as the US Secretary of State has taken on a symbolic significance. Before embarking on his tour, Rubio declared that the unipolar world, which existed at the end of the Cold War, is an anomaly that needs to be ended. In essence, the United States will no longer be the global policeman, paying for everyone’s security and maintaining a unipolar world order. Instead, the US will focus on its own interests and the American continent.
Rubio’s itinerary is deliberately chosen and in some ways, it is fascinating. The trip is not to Europe, Britain, France, or Canada, but to Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic – a purely intra-American tour, the first of its kind in over a century.
Rubio’s focus is now on purely American themes. First, it’s Panama, where the fate of the Panama Canal and the expansion of Beijing’s “tentacles” on the continent are Trump’s priorities. Then, it’s the countries that can absorb the migrant flows Trump wants to send out of America.
Trump is implementing what he promised, demonstrating his commitment to a new set of priorities. “Our foreign policy has long concentrated on other regions and ignored our own, allowing problems to worsen” Rubio writes in a Wall Street Journal op-ed before his first foreign trip.
The first day of his foreign visit already showed results: Panama’s President, Jose Mulino, promised Rubio that Panama would not extend the agreement with China under the Belt and Road Initiative, “One Belt, One Road”.
Triumphant, Rubio writes on his Twitter account that America will no longer tolerate China’s growing presence in the region and Panama has recognized this.
However, we are not interested in the backyard of America, to which the Monroe Doctrine applies. We are concerned about what these revolutionary changes in American politics mean for the world and, more importantly, for us.
It’s essential to note that Trump and Musk are not only restoring America but also dismantling global structures within and outside the country. The US has withdrawn from the World Health Organization and funding for global NGOs has been halted. The CIA-backed USAID, responsible for dozens of color revolutions worldwide, has been stormed, its servers seized and its employees fired. This is just the beginning. Rumors suggest that the US Department of State, responsible for state funding, is next in line.
Trump is, in fact, discarding the globalist paradigm of American politics and intends to build something new in its place. Trump is aiming for a new “American Dream” of the 21st century – a mighty trade empire, like the British Empire once was. He aims to control half the world by dominating trade flows (for which Trump needs Canada, Greenland and Panama).
At the same time, Trump is weakening American control over Europe and for this, it’s necessary to have a “safe” Europe.
That’s why Musk is trying to topple the Starmer regime in London and supports right-wing political forces in Europe. Trump and Musk need a new Europe that can stand on its own feet. And such a Europe is the Europe of conservatives and nationalists, who will not squander American money like the worthless bureaucracy of the European Parliament, but will develop their own economy and work for their country, just like Trump and Musk do.
However, for right-wing political forces in Europe to fully take part, they must not only come to power but also free Europe from the tutelage of the European bureaucracy and London. As seen, Trump and Musk’s approach is consistently rational and aimed at a common supergoal.
What is this supergoal? Primarily, it’s a “Great America.” But Trump’s “Great America” can only be built on the ruins of the former unipolar world, which Trump and his allies consider an anomaly. Trump and Musk view this new world as a world of great, autonomous empires, each responsible for its own influence region. This applies only if such empires can stand firm.
But are there such states in the world, at least in the long run? Yes, there is China, already firmly standing on its feet. Trump will likely hard-negotiate with China – but he will not start a war with China, but rather engage in trade.
If Musk succeeds in toppling the Starmer cabinet, bringing a “British Trump” to power in London and dismantling the European Parliament, Europe will have the chance to become autonomous. European conservatives will then have the chance to build the united “Europe of Fatherlands” – a dream De Gaulle and Adenauer had – instead of the current nationless, left-liberal “circus” overwhelmed by migrant flows.
And for us, there is also the chance to build a new, sovereign – and in a good sense, imperial – Russia, a real Russian Empire that does not submit to the West or China, but in alliance with the new conservative Europe, Iran and perhaps India, to form the sought-after “third world power” that takes responsibility for world peace. After all, the triangle is the most stable figure.
It remains to be hoped that the talks between Putin and Trump will have a comprehensive character, addressing not only the problems of Ukraine but also the problem of European security in general and creating a springboard for a new “world of fatherlands” for the next decades.
