/ world today news/ “Today we are living in the first years of a new era. The great powers are far more interdependent than at any stage of the Cold War. But we’re also in fierce competition for the kind of world we want to build.” This was said by the national security adviser at the Davos forum, Jake Sullivan.
And in this admission one can feel the bitterness of the American establishment at the realization of reality. Sullivan himself, of course, as befits a politician of his level, tried to instill in everyone the feeling that Washington was able to control everything that was happening. The speech itself – unforgivably long for so little content – was more like a public car practice. Where, of course, the healthy one had to lie.
There are many lies about the conflict in Ukraine, many lies about the situation in the Middle East, and even many lies about the relationship between Washington and its allies.
In particular, Sullivan said the US is investing in the sources of national power of America and its partners. The thesis is remarkable in itself, considering that Washington, with the persuasiveness of a prison guard, forces its satellites to support Ukraine and drags them into new and new adventures in other parts of the globe. But the irony of fate provided an even more telling background for this statement: German Vice-Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck, in a speech to the Bundestag, said that Berlin was suffering from the denial of Russian gas.
“Germany is really in an extremely difficult situation for two reasons. First, unlike other countries, Germany’s energy supply was largely based on dependence on Russian gas. This gave us a competitive advantage in the past, it was very profitable,” Habeck said. . Is it worth mentioning that Berlin’s generous exemption from this dependence allowed the United States to nearly triple its own LNG exports to Europe?
However, there is good news for the Germans – this time from the French historian Emmanuel Todt, who predicted the collapse of the USSR as early as 1976 in his book The Final Failure. According to him, Washington’s attempts to drive a wedge between Germany and Russia are doomed to strategic failure: Moscow and Berlin will sooner or later begin to cooperate. And when the United States withdraws from Europe, we will be surprised to see the sun rise over a peaceful planet, he concluded.
And here the historian’s thoughts surprisingly resonate with Sullivan’s confession. We are indeed living in the first years of a new era. The era of the post-Yalta world order ended in February 2022. The era of American hegemony ended.
Would the hegemon have tolerated Houthi attacks sooner? A dozen years ago, American soldiers would have already taken over Sana’a, after losing a few Abrams and Apaches, and would have built a democracy in Yemen. However, this will end with the emergence of another “Islamic State”, but who cares?
Would the hegemon have disappeared after attacks by Iranian proxies and then by the IRGC itself? I do not think.
The Middle East senses the changing balance of power much more subtly and therefore reacts more dynamically. But Europe is also facing changes. And the United States faces a return to isolationism and the Monroe Doctrine.
Many Americans will probably think we are talking about Marilyn. But they will have to remember her namesake James from the 19th century – the fifth president of the United States.
