"El gobierno español, el presidente de España, es valiente. Es el único: ha prohibido el uso de sus bases militares. E inmediatamente Trump ha amenazado a España con sanciones económicas (lo que es muy difícil puesto que España forma parte de la Unión Europea). Pero en su conjunto, los dirigentes franceses, alemanes, británicos, son de una enorme cobardía: no se comprometen a la guerra pero no se atreven a decir la verdad, a saber,

À l’été 2024, le résultat des élections législatives a été contourné. Depuis, la vie politique française ressemble à une interminable fin de règne pour Emmanuel Macron — avec, en toile de fond, la trahison du PS. Mais derrière ces manœuvres devenues la norme se cache une logique plus profonde :…

¿Quién se atrevería hoy a imaginar a nuestras clases medias altas corriendo a la muerte, a la cabeza de sus pueblos, hacia Kiev y Járkov? Nuestra guerra de Ucrania es “para reír”, producto de la emancipación del yo, hija del desarrollo personal. Solo morirán ucranianos y rusos.
A menos que…

"As #EmmanuelTodd puts it, #Russia has demonstrated "that they were able to face the whole West," and with the rise of BRICS financial systems, this represents nothing less than "the end of the American imperium" - a defeat #Trump must now manage.
With regards to #China he says that the US have in fact "given up" trying to contain them because the balance of power now makes it impossible."

Fascinating geopolitical analysis by Emmanuel Todd, one of the very few great French intellectuals we have left. I added English subtitles for you. He believes - as I do - that, fundamentally the US is accepting what he calls "defeat" against not only Russia but China as well, and that Trump is effectively trying - clumsily - to manage this defeat and to adapt the US to multipolarity. He says that the US's defeat in Ukraine isn't like Afghanistan or Iraq but that it represents what he calls "America's first major strategic defeat of its history." In the war, he says Russia has become "the shield of all the rest of the world who can't stand US guardianship of global finance [and] the exploitation of the working populations in the rest of the world by Westerners." As he puts it, Russia has demonstrated "that they were able to face the whole West," and with the rise of BRICS financial systems, this represents nothing less than "the end of the American imperium" - a defeat Trump must now manage. With regards to China he says that the US have in fact "given up" trying to contain them because the balance of power now makes it impossible. He points to "Chinese naval production that will soon make the US Navy a dwarf navy", "US aircraft carriers [that] are irrelevant facing hypersonic missiles" and the fact that China managed to "put the Americans under embargo" for rare earth exports. Arguments that undoubtedly will sound very familiar to my readers because I make the same ones in my articles (like this one: https://arnaudbertrand.substack.com/p/has-america-in-fact-already-withdrawn?r=4r0pw), which I know Todd reads because, full disclosure, we know each others 😊 In this picture, Todd characterizes (quite rightly) Europeans as "crazy, we are dealing with crazy people" who think they can act as winners and impose conditions despite being the biggest losers of the war. He is particularly virulent against the media and the general intellectual climate in Europe, speaking of a "process of intellectual and moral degeneration" where "all notions of truth, of honor, of reflection" are being lost. He says that the end of the US's global hegemony doesn't mean they won't relinquish control of what they still do control, specifically Europeans 😢 I'll let you watch the whole video for more, including his excellent analogy between Trump and former French 4th Republic President Henri Queuille: quite out-of-the-box comparison but actually not bad! This is part of a longer video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5FHLciLBsU). They actually have an English version of the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJyaBbyAPs8 dubbed with AI if you prefer to watch it in English.
