Global Chess

As Americanism declines, producing internal unrest and turmoil - externally this will manifest as regional conflicts - regional wannabe super-powers flexing their will to command a region.
This act will produce an opposite and equal reaction, as in the example of Turkey and the developing alliance between Egypt, Cyprus, Greece and United Arab Emirates.
The outcome will be determined by how much each side is willing to risk - how far they are willing to take it. always the case in fights and in gambling.
It's a fundamental aspect of life - reduction in effort/time, is compensated by an increase in risk, and risk is determined by how much the agency is able and is willing to lose.

America is already in a phase of turning inward - which is an organic phase - when an organism is dying ti loses contact with the world and is entirely engulfed by its internal struggles.
the closer to death an organism reaches the more detached it becomes from its environment. This is also how Super-Organisms die - a.k.a., Super-States.
A gradual detachment form world - turning inward.
Ironically and not accidentally this is how nihilism works - a linguistic detachment form reality and a turning inwards - solipsism, narcissism, cynicism....

Conflicts between emerging Super-States will continue this pattern of friendly relationships in public, and fighting through proxies in private.

As American dominance declines local power struggles erupt...
When a dominant male chimp is old and weak, the other chimps fight to assert their own dominance.

U.S. pulling out troop from Germany will only put more pressure on Berlin to speed-up the process of establishing a EU military defence force.

Meanwhile, the coming US decline is producing Super-State jostling for a better position in the coming New World order...not what the Americans envisioned when they called it that.
For them New World Order meant Globalism or Americanism...a world dominated by them; a world of open markets and no races or sexes or families, or cultures.....other than in the form of produces and services one could purchase on the markets.
1984 with a twist....

'In a sudden escalation of the ongoing India-China border standoff, soldiers from both sides have been killed. Such confrontations are not uncommon, but lives have not been lost since the 1960s – when the two nations fought a war.'

The Soviets were never a military nor an economic threat to the US. They were only a formidable ideological threat that periodically reduced ethnically and culturally homogenous systems into states of self-destructive civil war, e.g., Vietnam, Korea, Greece, China, Russia etc., and therefore could more easily fragment an ethnically and culturally heterogenous system like the US, and its Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, ex-British Empire hegemony.
The unifying force of the US was the messianic ideal of 'freedom' - a secular version of the Biblical ideal of 'salvation' - offering a imminent technological Utopian future, by replacing the promise of a Biblical 'after death' Paradise.
Communism was the threat, not the Soviets, because communism offered a comparable nihilistic ideological alternative that threatened to seduce the masses of the world's poor, and desperate for hope masses - unrestricted by tribal and national boundaries, it promised global appeal to facilitate its Messianic mission.
This is why Democrats - and segments of the Republican old guard, i.e., "deep state," - representing those successful Cold War American elites - are so adamant about promoting the idea that Russia is still America's great bogeyman, rather than China.
A small but powerful segment of the Republican elite have awakened to the fact that the US is in unavoidable decline, from superpower status to an intermediate regional status, before total implosion comes - i.e., a decline from 'world policing power,' imposing its control via soft power, e.g., Hollywood, pop-culture, money, reducing resistance by methodically eroding traditions and cultures; deconstructing them to a default American model, i.e., open borders, open markets, denouncing all biological identifiers that contradict its own market-based individualism, exploiting hedonism, where everything, including identity, can be bought and sold - evaluated monetarily, via supply/demand standards, determining its market value etc. - and concealing Americanism with the moniker "Globalization," or "New World Order".
This small segment of America's conservative elites have realized that a return to Cold War tactics will only accelerate America's decline from superpower to regional power and then towards Civil War fragmentation, have now found an opportunity - via Trump - to intervene, hoping to slow down the process and change strategies, viz., adopting a more isolationist tactical retreat so as to prolong, as long as possible, America's dominion.
Yet, the Rubicon has been crossed and it is of minimal importance whether Trump or Biden becomes the next President. Internal conflicts have already begun America's fragmentation, and a return to neo-con Troskyite strategies, of perpetual warfare, will no longer stop the inevitable process of empire collapse - though it may slow it down. No empire has ever survived eternally and the US will not be the first.
America remained strong only as long as it promised wealth and prosperity, ensuring "freedom" - salvation, a means for individuals to escape and compensate for genetic failings, via the all healing power of wealth; allowing anyone to reinvent themselves through money, unrestricted by their past. A Lockean tabula rasa underscores American idealism - proposing a theoretical individual free from physical, biological, limitations and tangible identifiers.
Wealth and prosperity made American heterogeneity an advantage, but when the enemy approaches its proverbial walls - crossing the vast oceans protecting it like moats once protected castles - its internal multiculturalism - culture of no culture - ceases to be an advantage and becomes a devastating liability.
To this alienating Americanism model only Communism offered a viable collectivist antithesis. But Russia no longer has a competing ideology that threatens Americanism - though Dugin is presently attempting to create an alternative to American - Anglo-Saxon - Liberalism - he calls the "fourth political theory".

This is why the UK had to leave the EU if hope for a closer union was to survive - good riddance!
The English have always been America's minion....well, after the war to "end all wars" when they sold their independence to survive the Germans.
The British were America's veto in the EU preventing a closer military consolidation that would threaten US dominion - having inherited the British dominion.
Anglos have always been the world's liberal establishment selling globalization as a cover for Americanism. A culture erosive that reduces resistance to gain control.
Trump was a glitch that had to be corrected. I've explained why he emerges now and why he has failed to confront the established elites, i.e., the Judeo-Puritan American establishment that controls Hollywood, the media - including internet social platforms - and the military-industrial complex that profits and enslaves through perpetual warfare.  
A small bump on the neo-con path to global dominance, via "open markets," "feminism" and the "LGBTQ+++r" - culture destroys, tradition negators.
Nihilists, applying nihilism as a political tool - divide and conquer.

American "individualism" separates the "ego"  - i.e., lucid, self-conscious part of consciousness - from identity, i.e., from the body, rendering it helpless before institutions and mass mind-control.
A modern egoist is a mind that identifies with what it is aware of - grasping on hedonism and materialism to stabilize - it has no past, to accept, and no future to invest in - this is calls its "freedom". Ironically many of these nit-wits also embrace god or some secular version of it, like Universality, or absolute determinism, to also escape their responsibilities and finally be absolutely liberated from their abhorrent inheritance.

Britain just will not get the fuck away from Europe....
Have they finally managed to finalize the divorce?

“The European Union doesn’t really negotiate” he said.. they don’t back down neither, which is why even many Remainers had started to support Brexit and were glad we were leaving.

They had become more agreeable in recent days, but I haven’t followed any updates since.

..aaaand, we have Brexit

Thanks to all the UK Brits and the many Others, who helped to make it happen.. just don’t mention the fishing rights of our waters

Finally!!!
Good riddance...uhem, I mean...what a sad day for Europe.

China, Pakistan, Turkey axis is being countered with a developing India, Greece, France axis...

I'm waiting to see which frigates Greece will choose.
France is also offering a permanent flotilla in the Aegean to counter Turkish aggression.

Indeed.. a sad day for us All, but new horizons now doth call.

Europe couldn’t keep us procured with the bribes of no biscotti, but we prefer roti, lololol

I'm hoping that without Britain's objections Europe will finally become a United States of Europe....otherwise it will not survive as Europe, but will become Africa.

Britain will fragment, and what is left can unify with the American Anglo/Protestant-Jewish empire it always belonged to.

From what I hear Ireland will be leaving, and Scotland...allowing England and Wales to float away towards a declining America.

I would hope that Europe is old enough for it to not let that happen, and if Europe gets its game together.. minus their old feudalism ways, then it will have world wide external support from interested parties.

Clear heads = clear minds, and therefore clear thought.

America doesn't want it to unify....and it used Britain to prevent it.

Oh really?

I’m not even going to speculate on that, as I don’t think it fitting or proper for me to..

Have you ever lived in a yurt?

Is that because America is not run by Angleterres, so run by others that do not have America’s best interests at heart, or mind?

I think you see conflict where there is none, but that does not necessarily mean that there is none.

America wants Europe under its control ....Europe unifying into a super-state ruins this plan...

No.. is it warm and cosy inside?

I’ve not been camping but have camped out, and I’ve slept in a teepee.. but it was at a posh, boutique, music-festival in a secret location in the middle of nowhere.

..and good luck to them All.

A post-Brexit agreement on trade and other issues has been agreed, just a week before the transition period between the UK and the EU comes to an end.

It avoids the disruption of a no-deal Brexit in the middle of the Covid pandemic, and marks a new era after more than 40 years of UK membership of the European Union.

Yes...eventually a free-trade agreement will be negotiated.
At some future time when Super-States begin taking over, Britain will have to choose, either Europe or America, which is closest to her spirit but will be, at that point, a power among many others.

America's Globalization failed but its elites do not know it yet.
Trump and his backers, tried to turn the ship around but they are still riding high on past glories.
Eventually Europe will have to decide if it wants to survive, by letting go of national independence, or if they want to remain as they are and become Afro-asia north.
If they go for the first option then Germany will become its economic engine and France is military shield. If they go for the second then there will be no more French, Italian, Greek, German, Scottish culture...there will be afro-Asians selling croissants in a city called Paris which was once French but now only speaks French but is a multi-racial, multi-ehtnic nothing.

Decoder

"Civilizational State" = Ethno-State = culture, i.e., genetics + memetics, projected as civilization.

"Western Liberalism" = Americanism, i.e., Judeo-Puritan spiritual, moral, nihilism, a.k.a., Messianism and salvation/liberation mythology - historical resentment and victim psychology/herd psychology.

Huntington's vision expressed in "Clash of Civilizations," is the New World Order - Americanism, obsessed with Globalizing tis brand triggered an opposing reaction.
Something Trump's backers realized a bit too late. An aggressive neo-con, i.e., Troskyite, perpetual war, has produced regional backlashes as each ancient civilization begins to feels threatened by Americanism's "individualism" and its "culture of no culture".

I see the globe as more operating through trade deals, tourism, and cooperation, rather than strict allegiances.. so a more relaxed global planetary affair than has been, of late.

Thing is.. America wants to operate like a super-state, when it currently operates like a very large country, so yes.. as you’ve said, it’s brand is very USA-homogeny, competing in an exotic spice-trade/silk-route marketplace.

I think that Europe will have to revisit it’s plans and policies, or end up paying for them in the long run, in permanently changing its socio-cultural landscape forever.. but maybe that’s what they want?

France was always inhomogeneous.. and other colony-owning countries: Spain, Portugal, Denmark, etc., so if they want to be/are forced to be even more-so, then they’ll become more reminiscent of West Asians X Middle Easterners, once their new ad-mixture has evolved over time.

Even the Remainers are impressed with Boris’ efforts and the Deal, but his job has only just begun, on that regard. The thing that gets us most, is why they insist on wanting to fish in our waters when they have more than enough of the bloody stuff of their own. Perhaps it’s just to annoy..

What an impressive job Boris has done for the UK..
..according to Norway

Norway’s famous deal with the EU could change as Eurosceptic party described as “the biggest political force in the country” calls for terms to be renegotiated.

Norway’s leading Centre Party has called for the country to look into “alternatives” to the country’s current European Economic Area (EEA) membership, and for its trade terms with the to EU to be looked into.

The party, which successfully campaigned against Norway joining the EU in the 1972 and 1994 referenda, hailed Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal as “a better agreement” than Norway’s.

You think in modern terms homo economicus.
It's understandable, you've been born and raised within an Americanized world.

I think in ethnic terms....genes to memes. Economics as extensions of traditions.

If Europe does not create some kind of multi-ethnic confederation - sharing economies and defences - remaining linguistically/culturally distinct, then it has no future. Europe is still affected and infected by Americanism and its kind of marketing and individualism.
If Europe does not shake off decades of American propaganda and brainwashing, it will be absorbed into the currently emerging Super-States.

We've entered into a New Age. Nation-States are obsolete, or must find a synthesis to compete in a Super-State world environment.
When India and China are a billion+, America's Judeo-Anglo-sphere close to a billion, and Russia wants to rebuild a Soviet-like confederation of half a billion or more, then a nation of 60 or 100 million people has no chance.
Super-States are open-markets, open-border conglomerates by themselves - worlds in and of themselves.
All they need is access to resources, which are the only things worth exchanging.
Russia and the US have the resources, India, China and Europe don't...and this is why they fight over unclaimed territories, such as Africa and the middle-east and Antarctica, soon.  

The question is what kind of Super-States will emerge?
What will be their identifying ideals and values?
India and china has one, Europe has one it need to rediscover, and the US has none, other than an abstract concept called "liberty" and represented by money - Messianism is tis identifier. If it does not change this identifier it will destroy itself or may even destroy the entire world - Armageddon. A self-fulfillnig prophesy.  A forms of insanity, like the one found on ILP ass its echo...a conviction that you exist to save mankind or that you were fated to dominate the world. This Judeo-Puritan messianism is dangerously insane.

Russia is becoming to China what Canada was to the US.
A resource, and in exchange it will offer protection.
Unlike Canada, Russia has a history and an ethnic identity, and a strong military and military tradition - as well as a powerful nuclear arsenal - therefore it will not be entirely the same.

Russia's Eurasia project will be facing difficulties.
If it does complete it will have China as the dominant member. The goal is a ethnic multipolar confederacy.
Russia needs China to remain free from Judeo-Puritan Americanism, and China needs Russian resources.
The same can be said of Europe, if it ever manages to break out of the Americanism shadow it fell under after the war.
