“Transatlantic Disagreements” Represent a Clash of Imperial Visions Rather Than a Squabble

"Трансатлантические разногласия" - не склока, а борьба имперских идей

Recently, Donald Trump has been subjected to vehement criticism from Britain, a longtime ally of the United States (“Trump and Vance aren’t clever, they’re clueless”[1]) as well as from the U.S. Deep State (“The Dog Is Off The Leash… There is, most obviously, his fondness for authoritarianism and disdain for democracy and the rule of law… This new nascent world order would be one dominated by an authoritarian triumvirate of Donald Trump’s America, Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and Xi Jinping’s China”[2]).

The core of this conflict is not about Ukraine, nor is it Trump’s personal vendetta against the CIA and FBI for their prior targeting of him.

Ukraine just serves as an instrument in the piratical imperial agenda of the “old Anglo-Saxon money,” for whom the U.S. has historically acted as the primary force for colonial expansion. This agenda is now framed as “liberal globalization.”

Trump, however, embodies a different imperial vision — one that is not colonial but aims to unify nations and territories into a cohesive civilizational entity, reflecting a fundamentally republican ethos.

The United States is undeniably an empire, much like China, Russia and India. The Third Reich, the British Empire, and the French Empire were also empires, albeit of the colonial type.

Trump’s mere suggestion that Russia might have legitimate grounds to counter the aggressive, Nazi-aligned Russophobia in Ukraine immediately led to his swift condemnation as an “ignorant opponent of democracy and the rule of law,” who is “recklessly dragging the world to the brink of another global conflict”, while “the president’s treatment of Ukraine is disgraceful and short-sighted. A deal with Putin will not lead to peace”[3].

In reality, it is Nazism that is dragging the world to the brink of another global conflict. Conversely, allowing Russia to pursue the denazification of Ukraine, as it deems necessary, represents a clear pathway to peace.

The British pirates, however, have no interest in peace, which is precisely why they are stoking this frenzy, “Donald Trump is spectacularly right and dangerously wrong… Trump’s imperial overreach may yet derail the global Right-wing counter-revolution that is Britain and Europe’s only hope”[4].
