You have set out some good scenarios of faitly extreme detachment from US hegemony - militarily, security. economically, trade finance entertainment arising from PM Carney's speech of a changing world order. We have already seen a successful groupoing of influence over Greenland and tariffs and maintenance of Nato where Trump appears to be backing off. Other opportunities will present themselves in the WtO Oecd UN etc to assert a LD middle power influence. Meanwhile Triump.popularity plummeting at home and his policies will have to adapt. May become a question of waiting Trump out until circumstances allow for at least a partial return to a more stable world order with adfitional elements for greater resiiilience.
Many thanks George. However, the fact that Trump was elected twice leaves me wondering whether the U.S. will ever be taken at its word. Time will tell. Un abrazo!
There is no going back to before Trump in the US. The damage is dine. Even if democrats hold the majority again in upcoming elections (if they are allowed-worst case scenario is not at all unlikely-) institutions have been eroded and extremism has taken hold in the public’s mindset. The solution resides in the LDs as was magnificently proposed by PM Carney. May other leaders follow and have the courage to defend an intelligent and humane way of surviving this change.
Indeed, once trust is broken it is forever. The MAGA virus has infected many for a long time, and I don’t think it will die with Trump. New alliances must be formed if enough leaders are brave enough to pursue them. Un gran abrazo!
