Trump learned a lot from his defeat and from the ongoing and even intensifying hunt against him. All of his political messages are ultra-radical. Written by László Bogár.
After completing its "project" called the Second World War, the position of the American empire in the global power space became total. The existence of the Soviet Union (which was created by the same "non-existent" force) did not change this, because although it was formally "victorious", it was destroyed to the ground and in a fatally vulnerable state as a result of the American atomic bomb.
The ruling groups of the American empire therefore saw that the time had come to systematically begin deepening its dependence and vulnerability and, based on this, systematically plundering it.
Europe led by the German empire, the Russian empire running under the codename of the Soviet Union in ruins, the Pacific rival Japan in total, and China sinking into complete anarchy and vulnerable to unlimited looting, plus the nuclear monopoly, bingo, the lords of the world clicked with satisfaction.
This unlimited rule had to be supplemented with the fact that, in addition to complete social, economic, political and cultural subjugation, Western Europe should also be subordinated militarily to the military strike force of the American global empire. He tried to "package" the realization of this goal in an institutional-organizational construction, which makes this aspiration sellable as the preservation of world peace based on the noblest intention.
And the instrument for this was the creation of NATO in 1949, which was formally a voluntary defense alliance, where a military attack by any of the member countries is interpreted by all states of the alliance as an attack against it, and acts accordingly.
There was an ironic moment, the Stalinist Soviet Union wanted to formally test the depth of NATO's desire for world peace and raised the possibility of its joining, based on the logic that the defense of world peace can be more successful if the Soviet Union is also an organizational partner. Not really surprisingly, NATO, that is, the American empire, rejected the request for admission.
There were also three Russian attempts to join NATO over the next fifty years, but in all three cases the answer was negative.
The first was Gorbachev's in 1988-89, the essence of his proposal was that both sides dissolve their military alliances, the United States from NATO, the Soviet Union from the Warsaw Pact, and together they would create a complex global peace system that would truly it can be timeless and burdensome, but the rejection did not go away even then. Both Yeltsin and his successor, Putin, offered Bill Clinton Russia's entry.
In Putin's latest interview with Tucker Carlson, he also mentions that the American president initially accepted the proposal at least as a basis for discussion, but then regretfully rejected it after consulting his "experts".
This episode, as well as the law that is currently being prepared, that the American president cannot under any circumstances have the right to terminate the United States' NATO membership, clearly indicates that the American president is only a puppet in the really important strategic issues, such decisions in the administration " they fall under the purview of the "hidden" imperial state, the "deep state".
I thought of saying all of this in advance because of Donald Trump's increasingly radical statements that America will not protect its NATO allies "just like that for free", so whoever is not willing to increase their military budget to at least two percent of GDP will not be subject to mutual protection.
Well, if this is the "message" of the imperial state, then of course the allies could ask back who I should be protected from, to which the cynical answer of the "deep state" would be that of course from me. If, on the other hand, this is part of Donald Trump's game, which is more likely, then this message contains a systematic attempt to liquidate NATO wrapped in radical pro-NATO rhetoric. However, this strange duality of Trump's game contains an encouraging message for the masters of the military-industrial complex, because a radical increase in the military budget of the NATO member countries would mean a permanent rise in the profits of this complex to an astronomical level.
So Trump learned a lot from his defeat and from the ongoing and even intensifying hunt against him.
All of his political messages are ultra-radical, which is very much in line with the feelings of the average American voter today, because there is an enormous expectation for radical changes, for the restoration of "order".
It is another matter that American society has never been as divided as it is today regarding the interpretation of "order".
The role of Donald Trump is that he will either be able to initiate (or rather provoke) a spiritual change process within the ruling groups of the empire that will bring about a historical turn and give a chance for the peaceful maintenance of the global hegemony of the empire and empire. Or if it turns out that there is no chance of this, the imperial elite is already in such a degenerate state that it excludes the possibility of this, then, like Gorbachev, he (Donald Trump) should be the liquidator, who will peacefully dismantle the empire in order to save the nation-state America (Make America Great Again), which nation-state America is also falling apart.
Whichever version comes to pass, NATO in its current form will be unfit, even incomprehensible, in the dramatically changing world situation.
Donald Trump knows exactly, or rather feels, what a dangerous task he has undertaken, but apparently he is following his strategy more and more determinedly. For the time being, it seems that there is no one else in the American nation-state's sphere of influence who would undertake this extremely delicate, very dangerous "mine-sweeping" task.
