In da home, beginning subsequent Monday:
A bigger-than-life PsyOp to vary the MAGA narrative.
Trump 2.0 goals to be on the driving seat of the worldwide monetary system, on management of the world’s oil commerce and LNG provide, and on strategic media platforms. Trump 2.0 is gearing as much as be an prolonged train within the capability to harm The Different. Any Different. Hostile takeovers – and blood on the tracks. That’s how we “negotiate.” Below Trump 2.0, world tech infrastructure should run on US software program, not simply on the revenue entrance but in addition on the spy entrance. AI knowledge chips should be American solely. AI knowledge facilities should be managed by America solely. “Free commerce” and “globalization”? That’s for losers. Welcome to neo-imperial, techno-feudal mercantilism – powered by US tech supremacy.
Trump’s Nationwide Safety Advisor Mike Waltz has named just a few of the targets forward: Greenland, Canada, assorted cartels, the Arctic, the Gulf of “America,” oil and fuel, and uncommon earth minerals. All within the title of strengthening “nationwide safety.” A key plank: whole management of the “Western Hemisphere.” Monroe Doctrine 2.0 – really the Donroe Doctrine. America First, Final, and All the time.
Effectively, let’s delve a bit on pesky materials imperatives. The Empire of Chaos faces a humongous debt, owed to common suspect mortgage sharks, which will solely be – partially – repaid by chosen export surpluses. That may indicate re-industrialization – a protracted, expensive affair – and securing clean navy provide chains. The place the useful resource base can be for this Sisyphean process? Washington merely can’t depend on Chinese language exports and uncommon earths. The chessboard must be rejigged – with commerce and tech unified beneath US unilateral, monopoly management.

The subsequent most suitable choice is: Plunder the Chihuahuas.
Plan A, up to now, was to concurrently confront Russia and China: the 2 high BRICS, and key vectors of Eurasia integration. China’s technique, because the begin of the millennium, has been to commerce sources for infrastructure, creating International South markets as China itself retains creating. Russia’s technique has been to assist nations get better their sovereignty; really serving to nations to assist themselves on the sustainable improvement entrance. Plan A towards the concerted geoeconomic and geostrategic methods of the Russia-China strategic partnership miserably failed. What has been tried by the ghastly, exiting US administration generated serial, huge blowbacks.
So it’s time for Plan B: Looting the allies. They’re already dominated Chihuahuas anyway. The – exploitation – present should go on. And there are many Chihuahuas obtainable to be exploited. Canada has a great deal of contemporary water plus oil and mining wealth. The Canadian enterprise class actually has all the time dreamed of deep integration with the Empire of Chaos. Trump 2.0 and his staff have been cautious to not title names.
The Northern Sea Route encompasses a minimum of 15% of the world’s unexplored oil and 30% of the world’s unexplored pure fuel. Greenland is smack in the course of this New Nice Recreation – able to supplying years of uranium, as a lot oil as Alaska (purchased from Russia in 1867), plus uncommon earths – to not point out offering helpful actual state for missile protection and offense. Washington has been making an attempt to seize Greenland from Denmark since 1946. There’s a take care of Copenhagen in place guaranteeing navy management – largely naval. Now Greenland is being revamped as the best US entry level into the Arctic Nice Recreation towards Russia.
On the St. Petersburg discussion board final June, I had the privilege to comply with an distinctive spherical desk on the Northern Sea Route: that’s an integral a part of Russia’s twenty first century improvement mission, targeted on business navigation – “We’d like extra icebreakers!” – and certain to surpass Suez and Gibraltar within the close to future. Barely over 50,000 Greenland residents – which already get pleasure from autonomy, particularly vis a vis the EU – would greater than settle for a full Danish exit; Copenhagen really deserted them since 1951. Greenlanders will like to revenue from huge US investments. International Minister Sergey Lavrov went straight to the purpose: “Step one is to hearken to the Greenlanders” – evaluating it to how Russia listened to the residents of Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya vis a vis Kiev.

The New Nice Recreation and the Northern Sea Route.
What Trump 2.0 really needs from Greenland is crystal clear: whole militarization; privileged entry to uncommon earths; and commercially excluding Russia and Chinese language firms. Chinese language navy professional Yu Chun famous that “quickly, the long-desired ‘golden waterway’ of the Arctic Ocean is anticipated to open, permitting ships to traverse the Pacific Ocean and sail alongside the northern coasts of North America and Eurasia into the Atlantic Ocean.” Because the Northern Sea Route is “a key aspect of Sino-Russian cooperation”, it’s inevitable that the US’s “strategic imaginative and prescient is to stop the institution of a ‘golden waterway’ between China, Russia, and Europe by controlling Greenland.”
Freak Out on the Chihuahua Entrance
On the broader Chihuahua entrance, exercise is frantic. Assorted Davos/Deep State-linked elites throughout NATOstan – from Europe to Canada – are within the means of being changed by new, Trump 2.0-affiliated elites. That’s indissociably linked to the Looting the Allies technique: the additional destruction of the vassal EU economic system to strengthen the center of the Empire. In Germany, the Afd’s Alice Weidel – pragmatic, intellectually succesful – affords a fairly intriguing perspective. She is stressing on the report that Germany must restart importing uncooked supplies and low-cost pure fuel – let’s reopen Nord Stream – from Russia.
That opens the tantalizing risk that Trump and his factotum Elon Musk totally notice that Germany is nugatory to the US as a de-industrialized backwater – even beneath the general framework of a hardcore neoliberal asset stripping offensive. In fact Trump 2.0 will extract a hefty value for Germans to get a revitalized nation again.
Trump 2.0 a minimum of holds the – doubtful – advantage of a comparatively life like studying of the chessboard; Russia, India, China – the Primakov triangle – in addition to Iran have change into too highly effective to be looted. So the following most suitable choice is: Plunder the Chihuahuas. The blowing up of Nord Stream as ordered by the Biden crime household – as detailed by Sy Hersh – was a gleaming starter.
Ideas for Coping with the Altering World Order by Ray Dalio.
The way forward for NATO within the Nice America mission is now up for grabs. Gotta pay up – or else: contribution of every member nation ought to go as much as 5% of GDP as a substitute of the present 2%. Discuss a 150% value hike. By the way, Trump up to now has not even muttered the nonsensical expression “Indo-Pacific”. For all sensible functions, Trump is telling NATO to take a hike. Within the occasion of a double NATOstan annexation of Canada and Greenland, the US could also be even capable of match Russia’s useful resource base. Arguably that’s the important thing rationale for unleashing this New Nice Recreation. Neglect “multipolarity”. BRICS, take word.
Essentially the most intriguing aspect plot is, in fact, Elon Musk. Trump badly wants Musk’s huge social media/propaganda digital megaphone. Concurrently, on the Chihuahua entrance, the platinum sidekick needs to revenue from a Europe able to assessing sufficient vitality, uncooked supplies and a great deal of shoppers with stable buying energy. The details on the bottom already spell out the “rules-based worldwide order” being changed in a flash by a no-rules worldwide dysfunction. In any case, worldwide regulation has already been abolished by the Empire of Chaos itself (that’s bipartisan) – in relation to unlawful, unilateral sanctions, theft of economic property or legitimization of genocide and head-chopping “average rebels”.
Trump 2.0 can be nothing however imposing a de facto phenomenon: a post-historical dysfunction. Finish of Historical past – that was all the time for suckers. All of this incendiary chain of occasions is on a roll primarily due to one single purpose: the Empire of Chaos misplaced the proxy battle in Ukraine. What stays to be mentioned is the modality of the give up. So it’s no marvel Trump needed to provide you with a seductive, however nonetheless fraught with hazard, bigger than life psy op to imperatively change the narrative.
