FALSE REFLECTIONS

Just hours before President Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony, will it mean a paradigm shift or a deepening of the paradigm created by Joe Biden and Co.

In geopolitics, it has been seen that what is presented in one way is often not real. It is then that announcements and even the signing of agreements between the leaders of great powers end up being, in some cases, great swindles that in the long run cost the stability, peace, goods and, most seriously, the lives of hundreds of thousands of human beings.

The US is one of these great swindlers in this scenario, evidenced by its violation of its commitments by erasing with its elbow what it signed with its hand. The historical examples of this contrived behaviour are many, but just as a contemporary example let us recall the breach of the commitment made in February 1990 by the then US Secretary of State James Baker promising -although today they say it was not so- to his Russian counterpart Eduard Shevardnadze ‘not to advance with NATO one centimetre’ to the east.  The Americans were already unashamedly and immediately reaching out to Eastern European governments and, at the same time, expanding NATO's bureaucratic structures.

The upcoming inauguration of US President Donald Trump, who is supposedly a renegade of the US-NATO relationship, has raised many speculations and even fears about what his relationship with Brussels and its entire bureaucratic organisation, as big (and more corrupt) than its military structure, will be like. 

As is often said in the corridors of power in Washington DC when they don't want to take any notice of something, ‘what the right hand does, the left hand doesn't know’. This would translate into while Trump rants against outrageous US spending in Ukraine, the money and weapons will keep flowing. In these circumstances the same logic could apply and in that plan we could be witnessing a grand montage of the typical ‘good cop/bad cop’ movie script where Trump playing the role of ‘Sheriff’ entering the Saloon rants that he will clean up the financial and economic mess of his predecessor and part of that includes cutting off the obscene flow of money, personnel and war materiel that has been pumped into Brussels and the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev to fight an ‘Establishment’-driven proxy war against the Russian Federation.

But this would just be bad B-movie acting. Why this conclusion?

First, Trump has already shown that he can stab anyone with a smirk in his eye. He did it to Vladimir Putin when, despite his supposed sympathy, he ordered all sorts of economic and trade sanctions against senior Russian executives and froze Russian assets in Western banks. He also secretly continued (backed by London) to provide military and intelligence assistance to Ukrainian neo-Nazi parties. The only one who did not succumb to his trickery was North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who, rejecting his petulance and veiled threats at that failed Hanoi summit in 2019, Trump would christen him ‘the rocket man’.

As far as Ukraine is concerned, he will at most try to extend the situation through his announced envoy Keith Kellogg, who will try to establish talks without achieving a ceasefire in the medium term.

We could go on citing inconsistencies between Trump's words and deeds, but beyond his campaign promises that he would ‘stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours’ (which, by the way, is something impossible to achieve), the movements that are felt underfoot and are being noticed in the extensive Atlanticist structure would be indicating a great smokescreen that hides a plan that, contrary to appearances, is coordinated with the incoming US administration.

Above all, let us not forget that Trump and his circle of freaks (with Musk at the head) intend to give a coup de grâce to the BRICS+ and thus take it out of circulation in perpetuity and thus reinsure the dollar as the sole currency of commercial exchange and continue to keep all the states of the hemisphere captive and dependent, leaving those ‘rebels’ such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Bolivia to intrigue and implement -clandestinely of course- measures that undermine the political, economic and internal security stability of each of them.

But those who should immediately be prepared for unfriendly surprise moves in the Indo-Pacific are the mainland Chinese, given that the pawns (including the British and Australians) that Washington has installed in the South Sea and in some of its riverine states (such as Hong Kong and Singapore) monitoring the situation on the island of Taiwan, are maintaining an unusual activity of information gathering and exchange that can have no other objective than China. 

Trump among one of his few qualities is his ‘xinophobia’ (hatred of the Chinese) which is inscribed in his already ventilated racism that he will precisely put into action within the US with his promised major operation of mass deportation of immigrants, a promise that he will surely fulfil just as he said.

In conclusion, and as far as his foreign policy is concerned, to believe that Trump will break ranks with the largest military organisation in the world, which since the fall of the USSR has served as a battering ram for the plans that Washington DC has drawn up decades before, is idiotic.
