Trump’s Iran Disaster Is Reshaping the World (w/ Robert Kagan) | Bulwark on Sunday

American hegemony suppressed a lot of: war, the desire for radical parties, and terrorism. As Trump over extends the US while at the same time not caring about maintaining world order, we are step by step seeing the chaos that American hegemony was keeping tamped down.

It’s not clear that even Europe will remain at peace without American hegemony. Things could spiral out of control if US leadership continues to crumble.

People want to believe the world will keep going on as it was during US hegemony, but this is a naive hope and it’s more likely that we will see violent or/and tyrannical disasters around the world.

The world in flux and Trump’s role in a new equilibrium – Stephen Kotkin Lecture – Apr 25

The insanity, cuelity, and incompetence of Trump on the global stage is pushing forward a global transition that needed to happen. Europe needs to pay its fair share to defend itself and the world can’t continue to let China take advantage of the system. The U.S. led world order is undemocratic and deeply flawed, but what is the alternative?

The Biden administration went to Europe and asked if war breaks out in the Pacific, are you with us? Europe said no. Yet, they expect the U.S. to protect them from Russia.
