Let me be the First to speak it out: Trump has ended the American Empire. He has ended Europe’s blind acceptance of American superpower.
America will never again be what it was. That so called beacon of hope that Public relations Geniuses invented and never really existed.
So, yes thank you Mr. Trump for helping us to wake up and thank you for ending the American empire.
As much as I hate the US hegemony, the only path to world peace in the past has been when there is one or maybe 2 dominant powers. The more multipolar the world becomes, the more war breaks out all over the place.
And if we must have a hegemon and our choices are the US, Russia, or China, I will take the US. Though I would take the EU over all of them if they could muster the unity to pull it off.
The time of simplicity is over. That’s a challenge but it’s just more feasible for a 21 century setup. Old concepts are being challenged, that’s messy but worthwhile. About time mankind came of age.
The new thing will just be fascists making the run up to another world war. The old is new again.
