This was a very good analysis. President Trump showed that his leadership style is transactional. However, naval blockades and ship seizures are acts of war. Using that type of brinkmanship against Russia will result in an all-out war. Sadly, we are one miscalculation away from a war.

The article rightly describes a shift from idealistic rhetoric to naked self‑interest, but that does not mean we should start placing our hope in any new geopolitical bloc. This intervention helps strip away the mask of ‘benevolent’ liberal hegemony, and shows an imperial power behaving as empires do, which is why our task is to look past the slogans being touted by politicians and media, and judge both the fading unipolar order and any rising multipolar blocs by real justice, subsidiarity, and their treatment of the weak, rather than by their propaganda.

Every Ideological structure has a lifespan, beyond which it must be torn down and replaced with something more profitable.

The Rules Based international order was a great post cold war scam.

However now it must be torn down and replaced with the Rothschild Digital Currency mark of the beast system.

Trump is tearing it down so the next thing can be built order out of chaos.
