Trump's Old World Order - WSJ Editorial

[question everything]

With his first weeks back in office, and especially after Friday’s Oval Office brawling with Ukraine’s president, it’s clear President Trump has designs for a new world order. Perhaps he could share this vision with the country when he addresses Congress on Tuesday.

(snip)

It seems clear that Mr. Trump wants to wash his hands of Ukraine. “You’re either going to make a deal, or we’re out,” Mr. Trump ordered Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday. This will embolden Vladimir Putin to insist on even harsher terms for a cease-fire deal. Mr. Trump seems mainly concerned with rehabilitating Mr. Putin in world councils, such as the G-7. He wants an early summit with the Russian, though Mr. Putin has made no concessions on Ukraine or anything else.

(snip)

He is clearly courting Xi Jinping, the Communist Party boss, calling him a great leader and talking about a new mutual understanding. He has shown no similar interest in defending Taiwan, and he has said in the past that China can easily dominate the island democracy in a conflict. Watching Mr. Trump and Ukraine, the leaders of Taiwan and Japan should be deeply worried.

Meanwhile in the Americas, Mr. Trump has demanded control over the Panama Canal, which the U.S. ceded by treaty in 1999. And he wants Denmark to sell Greenland to the U.S. These moves taken together hint at a worldview that has long been the goal of American isolationists: Let China dominate the Pacific, Russia dominate Europe, and the U.S. the Americas. The Middle East would presumably remain a region of contention, a least until Mr. Trump does a nuclear deal with Iran.

(snip)

Mr. Trump hasn’t articulated this, but some of the intellectuals surrounding him have. Elbridge Colby, nominated for the chief strategy post at the Pentagon, has argued that the U.S. must leave Europe and the Middle East to their own devices to focus on the Asia-Pacific. But Mr. Colby has also said that South Korea might have to fend for itself, and he said in a letter to us last year that “Taiwan isn’t itself of existential importance to America.”

1. Trump has joined with China and Russia and they have divided up the planet.

Each has their own sphere of influence.

I have been saying the same for quite some time and received pushback here.
But now we see the WSJ finally figuring it out.

[question everything]

2. And they want Trump to share it with the country

Honestly, I think most would just shrug.

3. If Trump changed the US official language to Russian, people would just shrug.

The MAGAs and GOP congress would lecture us about what a great idea this is and how brilliant Trump is for coming up with it.

4. I wonder how all these

god-bothering xtianists are handling the news that trump is instituting a New World Order. They've been screaming about liberals doing that for decades. Now looky here!... trump is creating a brand new Axis of Evil to complete a global New World Order AND you won't be able to fly, go inside a Federal building, get on a Post or Base, and probably vote... I say that with their new "proof of citizenship" before registering to vote bill.

So New World Order, created by trump, and his neo-nazi libertarians
a REAL ID card which you'll have to present anytime you're asked for it to prove your citizenship.

Tell me again about not being able to buy or sell without the "Mark of the Beast" oh, ye xtianists. On that point, the damned New World Order name is printed right there on their forehead... "Maga" it's on the front brow of all those stupid hats.

If we get a theocracy, this is the kind of stupidity we'll be subjected to. Rank hypocrisy, and blank stares when you "get them" with a bible verse you know all too well.
