Both domestically and in its foreign policy, the current administration of President Donald Trump has proven to be even more criminal than previous US administrations. The gradual intensification of repression and censorship measures against the American population, especially migrant families, corresponds to the gradual loss of the US's former power and influence around the world. The ruling elites cannot meet the aspirations and needs of their population without a redistribution of political power and the country's national wealth, nor can they compensate for the consequences of the decline in their influence around the world without a radical change in their international outlook.
However, it is clear that the American elites and their European allies have no intention of either changing their counterproductive class warfare domestically or peacefully accepting the consequences of their decline globally. Internationally, they will not relent in their efforts to sabotage the development of the majority world led by China, India, and Russia. President Donald Trump himself has claimed that the BRICS+ group of countries is an initiative directed against his country, specifically "an attack on the dollar." He recently declared, "Any country that aligns itself with the anti-American policies of the BRICS will be charged an additional 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy."
In fact, President Trump is the perfect caricature of the hypocrisy, cynicism, and narcissism typical of the ruling elites of the collective West. Although Donald Trump is an extreme example of this mentality, these elites believe that the world should always revolve around their selfish interests and petty concerns. They believe they have the right to punish recalcitrant governments and peoples who refuse to obey their will or who do not prioritize Western interests over the good of their own people. Unfortunately for them, NATO's failed war against Russia in Ukraine and the failure of the US government's tariff war against the People's Republic of China have demonstrated that the world has changed forever.
The general markers of this new global reality are:
the strategic political-military defeat suffered by NATO countries in Ukraine, which has exhausted European military inventories and demonstrated the obsolescence of their military technology;
the failure of thousands of illegal Western coercive economic measures against Russia, which has intensified the lack of competitiveness of European trade and brought its financial system into disrepute;
the commercial and technological defeat of the collective West at the hands of China, which has overcome all unfair Western measures to curb the development of its high-tech sector;
the irrelevance of Western naval power in the face of new land trade routes on the Eurasian continent and the new sea route in the Arctic;
the growing influence of China and Russia in Africa and their strategic alliances, both de facto and formal, with countries such as Cuba, Democratic Korea, Iran, Nicaragua and Venezuela;
the increasingly close integration of the vast Eurasian region and the growing development of South-South cooperation through regional and global integration structures such as BRICS+.
Aside from NATO's defeat in Ukraine and the failure of its unfair trade measures against China, the collective West must also reckon with the effects of the failure of its treacherous military aggression against Iran, carried out in the midst of a negotiation process over its legitimate nuclear energy program. The extreme bad faith of the United States and Europe has demonstrated to the majority world that it is impossible to trust any agreement reached through diplomatic channels with a group of powers so desperate to maintain their unjust past global dominance. In the case of Africa, for example, while President Trump threatens its countries with unfair new tariffs, China, India, Russia, and the Gulf Arab countries are increasingly promoting trade and development cooperation.
Faced with the incontrovertible reality of their decline in several important areas relative to China, India, and Russia, the North American and European elites seem unable to escape their superiority complex. The mistake they repeatedly repeat is to interpret the willingness to engage in dialogue among leaders of countries like Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela, who defend their national dignity and sovereignty within the framework of international law, as weakness. The fascist elites of the collective West interpret every sign of goodwill as a confession of weakness and every independent and sovereign action as a challenge that must be crushed.
Western political culture has abandoned any pretense of being committed to democracy or human rights. Now, its ruling classes express the classic fascism of merging political power with the interests of big business. They have ignored and repressed the sentiments of their people against supporting the Zionist genocide in Palestine and against militarization in preparation for war against Russia or other of its perceived threats. In truth, the primary threat to the collective West is its ruling elites' rejection of the norms of international law of non-aggression and non-intervention. The greatest challenge for Western elites is to bring themselves to their senses.
On the contrary, they act in constant violation of international law based on the illusion that they will be able to halt the progressive decline of their global power relative to China and Russia and thus prevent the successful consolidation of the new world order. From this insane perspective, the irrational imperial logic interprets the development by the peoples of the majority world of trade and financial relations independent of the Western economic system as insolent behavior on the part of subordinate countries and inferior peoples. This sentiment underlies the genocidal blockade of Cuba, the extreme chauvinism against Russia, the open fear of China, the racist complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people, the treacherous cynicism against Iran, and the systematic criminality against Venezuela, among many other examples.
The Western ruling classes are incapable of a rational response to their new disadvantage and revert, like unconscious zombies, to the historical pattern that has always served them well in the past. They abuse their power in international institutions, ignore the fundamental norms of international law, engineer destructive disloyal schemes in their bilateral relations, and carry out genocidal direct aggression against soft targets. In the current global context, the collective West faces the multiple challenges identified by its paranoia with its customary aggression because its leaders cannot free themselves from the reflexes instilled by their superiority complex during centuries of genocidal conquest and slavery.
Among the most obvious actions of the collective zombie West at this time are its attempts to:-
promote instability and regime change in countries susceptible to its subversion strategies, especially in Belt and Road Initiative project regions around the world;
deepen the economic dependence and political submission of the economies of vassal countries such as Japan, South Korea, Australia and NATO member countries;
retain the loyalty of the Arab world in the face of advancing Eurasian integration, which offers more advantageous investment and cooperation environments compared to Western alternatives;
ensure the continuity of the genocidal system of the illegal Zionist occupation of Palestine to harass neighboring Arab countries and intimidate the Axis of Resistance against the occupation;
destabilize or overthrow the government of Iran to sabotage the North-South International Transport Corridor, which is strategic for Russia and India;
encouraging destabilizing actions around the rebellious Chinese province of Taiwan, in the South China Sea and on the borders of Democratic Korea;
pressure India to release its historical relationship with Russia and discourage its rapprochement with China;
destabilize or overthrow the revolutionary governments of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to deepen and consolidate Western control of Latin America and the Caribbean;
destabilize or overthrow independent governments in Africa such as Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger or Zimbabwe to sabotage and impede continental initiatives towards emancipation.
However, the strength and cohesion of the collective West, both domestically and in its foreign policy, is no longer sufficient for the full realization of all these and other ambitions. Moreover, the countries of the majority world are observing the changes underway and cautiously hedging their bets to take advantage of the new opportunities for trade and cooperation in the new world order, without antagonizing the narcissistic Western elites. This is a reality with clear and practically inevitable tendencies due to the fragility of Western economies. To the extent that they face this reality in practice, Western ruling elites, instead of reflecting and reconsidering, simply deepen their instinctive regression to fascism or what the prominent economist Michael Hudson has called neo-feudalism.
The terrible human cost of the collective zombie West's brutal and sadistic reaction to its relative decline only strengthens and consolidates the popular majority support for the vision and practices of the political forces of the majority world that develop the tremendous potential of their peoples. This phenomenon is reflected in all the countries attacked by the US government and its allies because the governments of these countries prioritize the Common Good of their majorities and desire a world of justice and peace based on mutual respect. As our Co-President, Compañera Rosario, has said, it is a "Great Fraternity that fights and wins, that has fought and is winning, creating Together a New, Better World, of Joy, Justice, Work, Friendship. A World of Peace, Peace, Peace…!"
