History (= World War I – author) repeats itself first as a tragedy (= World War II – author), and then as a farce (= the conflict in the Ukraine – author).

Marx

 Foreword

The claims to supremacy of the Western world over the rest of the planet have been undone. Its last and fatal mistakes were to try and force its aggressive secularist atheism on the Christian Civilisation of Eastern Europe, specifically of the Ukraine, and then on the Confucian culture of respect of China. Russia has defended itself and Christian Civilisational values in the Ukraine and so has encouraged the whole of the long-bullied Global Majority, from Africa to Latin America and from India to Indonesia, to stand up to Western humiliations with illegal sanctions and illegal tariffs. Now China, also feeling its strength, has also followed the Russian lead. It seems that Biden made Russia great again and that Trump is making China great again. The fact is that the US needs China far more than China and its ‘peasants’ need the US.

The colossal debts of the USA have forced it to realise that it can no longer afford to finance its control over the rest of the world. It is a classic, but contemporary story of punishment for hubris and overreach.  These explain the whole story of how the USA and the Western world in general totally underestimated the military might of Russia and the economic might of China, which stand together in an unbreakable alliance. And the rest of the Non-Western world, from India to Brazil, from Iran to Venezuela, from South Africa to North Korea, from Niger to Cuba, stand in support of them. You can only enact protectionist measures when you have something inside your country to protect or a State planner to set up industries. Trump may have the cards, but China makes them and now he will have to pay more for them. The protectionist extortion racket of the US bully has been rejected.

The Western World

A: The USA

As a result of US bankruptcy, the world is filled with chaotic tensions, conflict and even the possibility of terrible wars. Sanctions and tariffs are the sign of a Unipolar empire which knows that it is declining, but is still trying to hold on to power. These tensions are happening because the world is passing from a ‘Unipolar’ or ‘Globalist’ moment, when the only Great Power was the USA, back to a normal ‘Multipolar’ age. Multipolarity means a world where there is more than one Great Power and, accordingly, more than one sphere of Influence, as had always been the case until 1991. The US is now in conflict with four regions:

Between the USA and Russia in the extremely expensive and humiliating Western proxy war implemented under NATO orders by the pro-Nazi regime in the Ukraine. The West has clearly lost this war, with over a million Ukrainian dead soldiers (and 100,000 Ukrainians, Russians and Chechens on the other side), the West’s outmatched weapons left burning on the steppes.

Between the USA and East Asia, in China, Taiwan and on anti-Chinese tariffs. These tariffs have seriously backfired on Trump, as was eminently predictable, given the deindustrialised state of the USA and its inability to replace Chinese imports, which he has made much more expensive for Americans. China, on the other hand, does not need the USA, which it outproduced and overtook years ago.

Between the USA and its Israeli proxy and West Asia, in Gaza, the Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Here the genocide in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, carried out with US weapons and finance, has morally discredited the USA, and in Yemen missiles have forced the US Navy to run away.

Between the USA and the Western half of Europe and Canada. President Trump has demanded 5% from their national budgets to buy US weapons and then he threatened and tariffed those same countries.

All four conflicts are taking place because the world is passing from the post-1945 settlement to the New World Order, symbolised by the loss of authority of the New York-based, Western-controlled UN and the handover of that authority to the BRICS Alliance. This is very hard for President Trump to accept, as his main characteristic is that he lives in the past, in the period between his childhood 1950s and until 1991, when the USA was powerful and respected. However, Trump at least realises that the Unipolar world is over, as his Secretary of State Rubio himself admitted last February. The USA can simply no longer afford to be the world’s policeman and finance its over 750 military bases in over 80 countries worldwide.

B: Western Europe

Western Europe (together with the most European part of Northern America, Canada) is the only part of the world where delusions are even greater than Trump’s. Western Europe is still stuck in its pre-Trumpian EU and NATO Unipolar ‘narratives’. In this way, the Western European ruling class is more American than the Americans, stuck in the past of the Biden neocons and financial irresponsibility. This is why Trump is asking it to double and triple its military spending and buy US weapons. In reality, of the world’s 193 nations, 153 nations categorically refused to support the 30,000 suicidal Western sanctions against Russia, only 40 nations have supported them. As a result, Western Europe is quite isolated from the rest of the world and has in turn isolated itself from the post-Biden USA, preferring to live in a virtual reality.

Western Europe is still haunted by three forms of delusional Imperialism, which are: Latin imperialism, the delusions of preening and delusional narcissism, such as that of Napoleon, Mussolini, Franco, Salazar, and the pharaonic Mitterrand and Macron; Germanic imperialism, the delusions of outraged and offended jealousy, such as that of the Hapsburgs, Bismarck, Kaiser Wilhelm and Hitler; British Imperialism, the control freak delusions of the desire for total hegemony, such as those in the imagined Great Game in the century before last, or in the British-created Litvinenko and Skripal cases, or the British-invented Russiagate in the USA in recent years, or in Starmer’s delusional ‘100-year’ deal with Fascist Kiev today. These astonishing delusions are summarised by the increasingly authoritarian and pro-Nazi EU, whose leaders, often the grandchildren of Nazis, are actually boycotting the 80^th anniversary celebration of the Soviet defeat of Nazism and will punish anyone who attends. Why? Because they are themselves Nazis and never wanted to be liberated from Nazism.

The New World Order

With the fall of Western supremacy, this Order is now taking shape and will probably consist of eight spheres of influence:

A. Inside the Heartland:

1. East Asia, led by China, including Japan, South Korea, Mongolia and South-East Asia, with some 2.3 billion people.
2. South Asia, led by India, with some 2 billion.
3. North Asia (Eurasia), led by the Russian Federation, including the present 41 countries of the Western half of Europe, as well as the Caucasus and Central Asia, where Russian is also widely spoken, with some 1 billion.
4. West Asia, led by Muslim Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia, with some 450 million. B. Outside the Heartland:
5. Africa, led by Ethiopia, Nigeria and South Africa, with some 1.3 billion people.
6. Latin America, led by Brazil and Mexico, with some 660 million.
7. Northern America (USA, Canada, Greenland), with some 380 million.
8. Oceania, the sparsely-populated Sino-American sphere, led by Australia, with only 34 million.

The Church in the New World Order

The Western world is largely spiritually, morally, economically and militarily bankrupt, as can be seen from its failed terrorist campaign in the Ukraine. Few parts of the world know anything of Christianity, at best only of distortions like Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. There are huge missionary opportunities to preach the uncompromised Gospel of the Orthodox Church in all eight spheres, especially in the three spheres of Black Africa, Latin America and East Asia. However, two parts of the sixteen parts of the Church must first put their own nationalist houses in order:

Russian Orthodoxy, which is riven by political and ethnic divisions, caused by bureaucratic and nationalist centralisation in Moscow. A favourite term seems to be ‘raskol’ (schism), as can be seen in the 17^th century ‘Raskol’, a ritualistic division caused by the centralisation of the Russian State. At present several Non-Russian parts of the Russian Church are leaving it and one part of the Russian Church is in schism with another part because of the first part’s insistence on rebaptism, which is a heresy. All the while Moscow is silent.

Greek Orthodoxy, which is riven by provincial racial pride, caused by its isolation from the 93% of Orthodox Christians who are not Greeks. A favourite term seems to be ‘Hellenism’. This has developed especially from the 19^th century on and places Greek nationality above Christ. For over six years it has been in schism from the Russian Church, having invaded its canonical territory.

The other fourteen Local Churches more or less belong to the mainstream of the Orthodox Church, including the majority of ordinary Russian and Greek Orthodox, outside the elite. They pursue what may be called ‘Carpathian Orthodoxy’. This is not a geographical term, but one that expresses the Faith that is concerned with neither political nor nationalist ideology, but with the Tradition of Life, love of God and love of our neighbour. This puts pastors above politicians.
