We are witnessing the greatest geopolitical realignment since the collapse of the Soviet Union with Trump seeking Russia as an ally.
Understanding the why gives us some unsettling insight as to where we are moving into the future.
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 World 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 seizing 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.
Really? does Trump have any idea of where this country is located at the bottom of the South Pacific…until a minion might tell him.
Trump is not religious. Not at all. But he loves conservative fundamentalist American Christians. Because they believe, they have faith. Those are his kind of people. A hundred women could stand up and say he raped them, water off a disbelieving maga back.
He will use religion relentlessly.
Trump knows there are only 3 important men in the world, himself, Putin and Xi. He would once again ally USA with Russia to this time fight China. To Trump the greatest injustice in America is that he can only serve 2 terms a president, where the other 2 have their jobs for life. His main domestic goal is to overturn the 22 ammendment.
Trump is above all else a deal maker, in his own words the best deal maker ever. He would rip Ukraine in half, without a second thought to get a peace agreement. That is because his main international goal is to win the Nobel Peace prize. It annoys him without rest that Obama has one.
Can someone please remind us again what President Obama did to actually warrant a Noble Peace Prize?
Weren’t Jeffrey’s Jiffy-Lube and Mufflers in Alabama somewhere offering them with every $80 service deal?
I think you are 100% correct Peter
The problem with using Christian ethics is it can inform your morality but it can’t really inform or inact laws like god didn’t come down and say give Ukraine weapons or else.
That begs the question what is harm? The moment Trump ran for office it was said that Trump is a fascist and would harm marginalised people and here are the historical and psychological analysis. And well what about the harm inflicted on Trump by all of the lies.
Briefly Fascist are ultra nationalists, political ideologues, dictators, forcibly suppressing the opposition, militarism etc etc. while a case could be made that Trump is an ultra nationalist you can’t say Trump knows jack about politics while smearing him with being a political genius.
Is he forcibly suppressing the opposition? No infact he is the one being shot at and lied about by non other than The FBI, CIA and the U.S. state department. And the harm caused to Trump is a lot realler the harm caused to your morals.
Our interests are our own. Very rarely will they align with other nations much less America. Like I said Christian ethics informs morality and the population informs politics. I look at parliament we’ve had sex workers, vegans, murderers, child killers I mean abortion rights activists, people who want to get rid of maaris incompetence and on and on because they represent who we really are.
Moving towards egalitarianism is a noble cause. In New Zealand we can be who ever we want to be, say whatever, where ever but like I say we don’t have the military might to underwrite those morals and beat everyone over the head and say do as I say or trans people will sideways themselves.
That’s not how trade foreign affairs and defence works. In New Zealand The Prime Minister doesn’t speak for us. But out side NZ he does speak for us. And unfortunately woman can not compete in international markets, our defence and foreign affairs have no influence on international markets and neither do kiwis see eye to eye with Americans.
Look if the Prime Minister isn’t constantly adapting to climate change its money we will never see again. We can’t coerce other nations domestic policies but we can look after the most vulnerable and we can even increase our refugee intact but these things are extremely complicated things to solve absent climate change adaptation. It’s an either or at this point.
I hope noone seriously believes Trump thinks he was anointed by God. Unless by ‘God’ you mean Roy Cohn and Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump is not religious. He loves conservative Christians because they value faith and belief over facts and reality. He will use religion for his own ends
Trump knows there are only 3 important men in the world, himself, Putin and Xi. So Putin is his natural ally against Xi. Trump will tear Ukraine apart to get a peace deal, not for peace, but to win a Nobel Peace prize.
The greatest injustice is that they have their jobs for life Trump doesn’t.His domestic goal is to repeal the 22nd Ammendment. The push for that will happen after the mid terms if results are good for him.
I guess for decades, the United States has thrown its weight around the world, meddling in the affairs of other nations under the guise of democracy, stability, or security. Rightly, in many circles, this interventionism has been condemned as self-serving—reflecting the interests of those who truly pull the strings in Washington rather than the needs of the average American.
Yet, America has also been a force for good. And just when the world needed it most. Its vast industrial and human resources were instrumental in defeating fascism and Nazism, proving that when truly mobilized for a just cause, the U.S. can be a powerful agent of global change.
Unfortunately, over the decades, power has consolidated into fewer hands, and America’s influence has been squandered on costly military adventurism. Wars and interventions that enrich the few have drained the nation’s resources, distracted its people, and inflicted suffering both abroad and at home. But the American public may finally be waking up to this. The election of Trump and his ilk—whether loved or loathed—can be seen as a reaction to this trajectory, an attempt to break the cycle and refocus on America itself.
For years, the global left has chanted “Yankee go home.” If Trump and company take “America First” seriously, that might finally happen. The rest of the world will then have two choices: step up and manage their own affairs without waiting for an American godfather to intervene, or continue to demand U.S. attention while lamenting its influence. Either way, the world is changing, and it’s up to each nation to decide whether to stand on its own or remain dependent on a retreating superpower.
What does “ sexing the Panama Canal” mean?
“..Vladimir the Great, whom Putin takes his name from ..” He named himself?!
Recently VV Putin said: “His Holiness the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia has also addressed me many times–we meet regularly–-and he has addressed me with questions related to the support of clergymen who are in the Armed Forces–-and there are not only Orthodox, but also Muslims, Buddhists, and Jews there. ”
