President Trump is trying to remake U.S. foreign policy such that he can bring the troops home and rule the world through continued financial dominance. In an outstanding article at Strategic Culture Foundation, Alistair Crooke lays out the argument (see link below).
Trump will not be successful because of Triffin’s Paradox, among other things. The sheer inefficiency and cost of maintaining a military/financial empire, even if the military part is mostly drones and nuclear missiles, is staggeringly vast.
And it, not the Democrats/Globalists, is what has drained America of its vitality. With Putin and Xi affirming an alliance and calling for an overhaul of the United Nations at this weekend’s SCO Summit, the battle lines are clearly drawn. Now is the moment when the globalists have to cut bait and allow the EU to break free of U.S. control or watch Europe sink into irrelevancy.
Putin and Xi understand this. Trump is pushing them off the cliff … and Nordstream 2 is the wedge issue that brings it all together.

Tom, I just watched Trumps remarks before he flew to meet rocket man and he is pretty firm on Russia re joining the G7 with neocon Bolton standing right beside him. Now, as you know the target is still Iran and Syria by the Zionist faction . The elimination of Hezbola in Lebanon for sure . Is this just a matter of the old thinking of, ” keep your enemy closer ” , or do you think something else is afoot here. ???
I’m working on an article for Strategic Culture Foundation on this very subject now. I think it all has to do with Crimea and Trump trying to get Russia to bargain away G-8 status and Crimea recognition for betraying the Donbass.
I don’t think Putin goes for that. Why should he? He’s winning in both Syria and Ukraine. Check out the headlines on Fort Russ right now:

Yes, it was the drunk Yeltsin who gave away the Crimea plus allowing the sell of of Russian assets to the oligarchs. 92 % of the Crimeans voted to rejoin Russia. Hardly anyone knows that the Ukraine sided with the Nazis in ww2.
