Four months into the Trump Administration, the world is
confronted with a wave of chaos. There is a struggle within the Trump
Administration, particularly around its commitment to restore its
relations with Russia. The same is reflected in the “war-no war” split
in the Administration on Iran.
Nations attempting to “find order” in the Trump
Administration’s approach to policy making are baffled, but what is
certainly undeniable is Trump’s efforts to normalize Russian-American
relations, in the midst of the erratic, hawkish responses by the
trans-Atlantic establishment in Western Europe. Incoming German
chancellor Friedrich Merz, for example, has insanely doubled down on
his intention to send Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. The head
of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service has responded, stating that,
in the event of a NATO-backed attack against Russia, damage would
certainly “be inflicted on the entire NATO
bloc.”
The President and his team, however, have
a major cultural flaw—they are being soft on the poisonous “special
relationship” with Great Britain. Those British forces, as well as
their cronies in Europe, are absolutely determined to decapitate his
Presidency. They intend to give Trump the “financial regime change
treatment” former Bank of England head turned Canadian Prime Minister
Mark Carney spoke about in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 2019. They may use
the collapse of the financial markets, as partially referenced by
several unfriendly City of London-linked media publications. Vice
President J.D. Vance, in his April 14th interview with the British
publication UnHerd, showed the Administration’s susceptibility to
British seduction when he said, “(Trump) admires and loves the King.
It is a very important relationship. And he’s a businessman and has a
number of important business relationships in [Britain]…. And of
course, fundamentally America is an Anglo
country.”
Contrary to that view, the United States
was founded as the polar opposite to unbridled Anglo-Dutch imperialism
in the late 18th Century. The drive to end all forms of colonialism
and financial looting is embedded in the U.S. Declaration of
Independence and the Federal Constitution—especially its Preamble—and
was later manifested in economic form by Alexander Hamilton’s four
reports on a National Bank, the constitutionality of such a bank,
public credit, and the need for manufacturing. In the War of Rebellion
against the British-sponsored Confederacy, President Abraham Lincoln
had reaffirmed that commitment by Hamilton to end slavery and British
imperialism.
This is the mission of the May
24-25th Schiller Institute conference, “A Beautiful Vision for
Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!” To realize that vision, we
need a new global security and development architecture that takes
into account the existential interest of every single nation on the
planet. American-Russian relations, damaged almost beyond repair in
the Biden years, are the first step to making that vision
reality.
