Everyone is scrambling to understand what Trumpism actually means as we stand aghast that he would force Ukraine to surrender, then charge them $500billion in rare earth minerals to protect them while walking away from NATO.
I think there are a couple of things all in play that demand attention to comprehend the enormity of what is going to happen to the global order.
Putin, Evangelical Rapture, and Mar-a-Lago as the 4th Rome:
The difference between a war crime and a genocide tends to be the self belief of the person committing violence that God is on their side.
In 988AD, Vladimir the Great, whom Putin takes his name from, mass baptised 1000 Russians at the River Nee-Proh in what has become the founding spiritual moment in Orthodox Russian Christianity as the moment Russia became Christian and led to a cultural narrative structure that Moscow is the third Rome and was a homeland for Christianity.
What isn’t widely known is that Putin himself is a very staunch Russian Orthodox Christianand that he has used the Russian Orthodox Church as an enormous control mechanism over the Russian people.
Putin has spent billions rebuilding the Churches smashed down by Communism and uses his relationship with the Church for political advantage. It was the Orthodox Church who first praised Putin for annexing Crimea, a region with much religious importance for the Church.
in 2022 the Ukrainian branch of the Orthodox Church severed ties with the Russian branch because they felt Putin was having too much influence over it.
If Moscow is the third Rome, Kyiv is the second Jerusalem.
Trump on the other hand is a cynical tyrant who has understood the political power of resentment better than anyone since Hitler.
He has used the Undermensch to empower the ubermensch with his brand of wounded masculinity.
His surviving an assassins bullet has created a belief within Trump that God has saved him for a special purpose.
Both Putin and Trump now believe they are on a mission from God and terrifyingly so do Trumps evangelical MAGA fanatics who believe in a literal interpretation of the Book of Revelations whereby if they trigger Armageddon they will start the Rapture which is why the Evangelical Movement in America has donated hundreds of millions to extremist zionists.
I think Trump sees Putin and Russia as part of the 3 Romes and believes Mar-a-Lago is the 4th Rome as some sort of new Christofascist Regional Super Power Old Word Order.
Alexander Dugin and Trump’s New Christofascist Regional Super Power Old Word Order:
Alexander Dugin is one of the most influential Russian philosophers when it comes to influencing Putin AND Trump. He argues Russia needs to own the Ukraine to protect Russia and his multipolar arguments that Marco Rubio himself repeated in his Munich speech tell us everything we need to know about how Trump is reverting back to the Old World Order.
Trump sees the cost of being a Global Super power is wasteful and sees the funding of global institutions as a waste of American money. He wants to make America a Regional Super Power, adopting Dugin’s philosophy of multipolar interests.
This means Trump is more focused on forcing Canada to join America, taking Greenland and sexing the Panama Canal. That’s being a Regional Super Power.
He is inviting Putin to have his own Regional Super Power status by gifting him 20% of the Ukraine and making Europe pay more for his largesse to protect them, because ultimately Trump wants to make Putin an ally.
Why? Because in Trump’s warped view of God saving him for a special purpose, he is reuniting the old 3 Romes, including Mar-a-largo as the 4th Rome, taking back Gaza and will join forces with Russia to take out the godless Chinese.
Because that’s really why Trump is buttering up Putin, he believes there is more in common binding them culturally and Religion wise than binds Russia and China.
Amerika + Russia vs China:
The end game of Trump smashing the global status quo by unfunding Americas global obligations for Regional dominance and inviting Russia to do the same is ultimately about Trump making Putin an ally to jointly deal to China.
While America will take Canada, Greenland and Panama as Putin takes 20% of Ukraine, Trump may either shrug if Xi does the same and invades Taiwan or he could make Taiwan the redline and demand Taiwan pay more for their defence.
Trump may well look at China live firing in the Tasman Sea as a reason to send a nuclear ship here.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
“…He has used the Undermensch to empower the ubermensch with his brand of wounded masculinity….”
Who the f*** ‘wounded’ masculinity? Who the f***k called the Rust belt casualties of globalised neoliberalism, ‘the deplorables’?
Nothing like the overshoot of ‘elite’ ideas post WW2 fixated on no more ‘strong man’ Hitlers. With its 1960’s ‘organic’ social movements start of the break down of family and thus cohesive community. 65 years of ford foundation/marketplace change to work force, sponsored feminism beating masculinity out of males! To just maybe create excesses to push back against.
Never critiquing social changes the left as ‘useful idiots’, implemented eventually produces backlash from the affected!
That deplorables comment really defined which side of the fence you belonged to. You only have to look at Starmers Labour party. What Left is left?
Hemisphere defence is probably preferable to the 800 US military bases the current ‘world policeman’ needs.
Trump didn’t start the Ukraine war. That ‘honour’ goes to Putin’s paranoia, Biden’s incompetence and lots of long-term meddling in the region by the CIA.
A million dead and counting but hopefully Trump will stop it, because nearly 4 years on and nobody else has been able to.
Trump may well stop it but at what cost Andrew? One thing we know is it won’t cost Trump anything because Trump does not take responsibility and will blame all in sundry as he already has with Ukraine’s leader.
These are very dark days in Americas history.
Who knows!
It’s clear that there are a lot of fragile egos involved. Here I’m not just including Trump himself but Putin, Zelenski and most of the European elite who are only now realizing they’re not major players anymore. So whatever peace is created, it’s obvious not everyone will be happy with the result. I don’t care: I’m more concerned about the poor bastards in the trenches.
Part of being a good businessman is to know when to kill off losing propositions and bad projects, those things that impede your bottom line. You then refocus and commit to what brings success.
Trump and the US deep state and oligarchs are merely ditching Ukraine because it won’t sink Russia. They will now look for another way, probably by trying to drive a wedge between Russia and China. Trump will say “multipolarity” by which he means primus inter pares.
You should see my Release Radar. It fuckin rules.
