Why the world will not be the same

3
Watching the presenters economies planet, it is easy to see that between the United States and other countries of the Western world there has been a split, which is deepening more and more. By the Western world, I mean not only North America and Western Europe, but also some other countries pursuing a single globalist policiese.g. Japan and Australia. The undisputed leader among them has always been the United States.





Before the G7 meeting in Quebec, one could hope that this was not a split, but a temporary disagreement. But the refusal of the American president to sign the final communique of the summit is an unprecedented event. After all, the USA has always determined the policy of the GXNUMX, and the participating countries have followed the indicated course.

The reason for this behavior is understandable, it is the struggle for markets and protectionist policies of Trump. He openly lobbies the interests of American manufacturers and puts them in priority before the global ones.

But there is a deeper reason here. The fact is that Trump can not be called a conductor of globalist politics. Quite the contrary, he is a representative of traditional, industrial America. He managed to defeat the representatives of the globalist trend in the 2016 elections, which were his opponent Hillary Clinton and predecessor Barack Obama.

But the rest of the Western world continues to follow the line of old politics. Almost each of the leaders of the G7 countries is a protege of the global financial elite and expresses its interests. Trump is knocked out of this "harmonious choir", having entered into an open conflict with him. Perhaps now we are witnessing the formation of two warring poles of the modern world. It is possible that the confrontation between “industrialists” and “globalists” will be no less severe than the confrontation between the socialist and capitalist worlds in the XNUMXth century.

The problem is that the globalist idea has exhausted itself, while Trump and his supporters are not proposing anything new. They just want to return to the past, to the old "good" capitalism.

It seems that all this will lead to the destruction of the existing world order, where the “collective West” is the ruler of the world. Perhaps the world will become more colorful. In parallel, there will be several world systems, none of which will have priority over others. For example, globalist, capitalist, Islamic, communist and some other system.

In these unpredictable conditions, it is difficult to say what awaits Russia. She can receive as a result of a change in the picture of the world both great advantages and serious problems. In any case, you need to understand that the world will never be the same.

    If Russia, the Russian leadership, does not seriously undertake the elaboration of its own Massively attractive concept of development, necessarily accompanied by ideology, but stubbornly adheres to the "old rules" and swims, albeit with a break, in the wake of "classical capitalism", then nothing good will come of it - it will turn out "as always"! The lack of an advanced ideology and concept of state development causes this general Russian "marking time", albeit with some sporadic local victories ?!
    Even a middle-aged businessman knows a simple pattern: He who does not capture the markets, he loses them! He who does not go forward, but stomps on the spot, is thrown back! request It is painful and insulting to see this from the post-Soviet Ukraine, which was thrown back even more, because if it were not for the rich natural resources and President VVPutin, Russia would have had the same, and could still wait ?! So get out of your way, brothers, while Russia and the Russians still have a head start and you have not finally been enslaved by the "advanced neo-colonialist capitalists" !!!
    As Chairman Mao taught (at one time I had to diligently study the Chinese Armed Forces, their ideology-Maoism and get acquainted with the Maoist quotation book "dazibao" - I remembered something by heart, as it was worth remembering, he was still a smart comrade winked , although a "probable enemy" at the time request ), he seemed to be looking into the water (I write from memory):
    "If you feel the wind of change, then you need to build a mill, and not a protection from the wind!"
    Go Russia!!!

      Everything in the world is spinning so famously now that it would be timely to figure out which direction the wind will blow, so that the mill turns its right side to it.

        hi Comrade Sergei, your remark about "it would be timely to figure out which direction this wind will blow in order to turn the mill right side to it." - this is obviously the path of the driven "weather vane", and not the "mill" from the IMAGINARY "dazibao" of Chairman Mao (not would he be the President of China if he thought so literally)! Yes
        It is necessary to "build a mill", which itself "twists and directs the flow of ideas and accomplishments," TO BECOME A CENTER OF ATTRACTION, and not "feather" in the already existing, canalized by alien (and even openly Russophobic) ideas, "flow", as now, everything also, Russia does (about other post-Soviet republics, split off or gradually being pulled away from the Russian Civilization, as a priori dependent, it makes no sense to say, these are slave "weathercocks" who suddenly lost their Russian center of gravity and helplessly "dangling in the hole" of timelessness)!
