West's war of words cannot halt the slow, inevitable grind of Russian advances. In tandem with China, Moscow is crystallizing an emerging global order, using Western arms lack as its catalyst.
“ moral parity remains a metaphysical impossibility”.
I disagree in regard to Trump , who while he may parrot the “democracy and freedom” line for internal consumption, he doesn’t believe it , his actions are entirely transactional and rooted in a business/finance model.
The statement is however true of the Eurocrats, who apart from moral posturing about democracy, rights etc, have in actuality, little else, having lost any substantive economic or political influence. The authority for such moral posturing is also a complete delusion , un acknowledged by the rest of the world.
It is true , that abandonment of this for them is impossible, as it is all they have and are. Political and economic power always trumps(no pun intended) metaphysics, and that being so , they will go down with their metaphysical ship and vanish into the depths of forgotten history. There will be few mourners as the coffin shrouded in the EU Flag is consigned to those murky depths.
Trump remains weak, stupid and easily manipulated. Give him a bit, let the europeans get to him and promise him a statue or a girl-girl show with Melania and Brigitte Macron or something and he'll flip again.
