The Man Warning The West: Trump Is Changing The World Behind The Scenes

The global framework established after World War II, including the 'rules-based order' and international law, is rapidly disintegrating. This is due to the West losing its focus and purpose after the Soviet collapse in 1991, leading to a unipolar moment that has now ended. International law is presented as a 'shared myth' that lacks enforcement power beyond the strongest nation, making it ineffective in a multipolar world.

Constantine Kissen states, 'What you're seeing is the final collapse of what people have described as the post-world war II order... that entire framework that we have had since World War II is disintegrating very rapidly.' He adds, 'International law really was that, but even weaker than that. Because if you think about what a law is, a law is something that has to be backed by not only the consent of the people who are involved, but also ultimately it's about the use of force.'

European nations, including the UK and Germany, have significantly weakened themselves by adopting 'economic suicide' policies like Net Zero, destroying nuclear facilities, becoming reliant on foreign energy, and running down manufacturing and armed forces. This comfort and rudderlessness have led to a decline in global power and influence, making them irrelevant in major geopolitical decisions.

Kissen notes, 'Europe is 12% of the world's population, 25% of the world's GDP, and 60% of the world's welfare spending.' He cites Germany destroying nuclear facilities and becoming reliant on Russian gas, and Britain destroying manufacturing and running down armed forces. He states, 'No one even asked the British what we thought about anymore.'

Donald Trump's 'America First' approach to foreign policy is seen as a pragmatic recognition of the collapsed rules-based order. He acts in the perceived interest of the United States, disregarding 'fake rules' that other nations are not following, and reasserting the Monroe Doctrine in America's 'backyard.' This behavior, while risky, reflects the new reality of a power struggle.

Kissen explains, 'Trump is acting in recognition of that reality, saying we are not going to play by the fake rules anymore that no one else is playing by.' He references Trump's actions regarding Venezuela and the Monroe Doctrine, stating, 'what he's doing now is going, 'Well, look, this is the world we live in. I'm going to do what's best for my country.''

In a world where international law is weak and major powers act unilaterally, nuclear weapons are becoming the only reliable guarantee of national security. The West's insufficient support for Ukraine, a non-nuclear state, is seen as a dangerous precedent that will inevitably lead more smaller countries to pursue nuclear capabilities, increasing global proliferation risks.

Kissen states, 'It would inevitably lead to lots of other small countries pursuing nuclear weapons because it is the only guarantee of security in this world.' He adds, 'If the precedent is... the people with nuclear weapons can do what they want and they can never be attacked and the people with no nuclear weapons are vulnerable and weak, what would be the most rational thing for you to do if you're a smaller country?'

The rapid advancement of AI and robotics is poised to cause massive job displacement across various sectors, leading to a concentration of wealth among a few. This economic disruption and the resulting 'existential angst' among the population could drive a craving for order and a push towards socialist or even communist solutions, where people are 'paid for existing' to prevent widespread social unrest.

Kissen discusses the consensus among AI leaders that 'socialism will only increase because the job losses associated with AI are going to be pretty quick and pretty extreme.' He later states, 'In a world in which no one has a job, I'm like 100% on board with communism.'

The UK is experiencing a significant economic decline, with GDP per capita lower than 20 years ago and the highest peacetime tax burden. This, combined with a cultural narrative that demonizes successful individuals and 'clobbers them over the head and calls them evil,' is driving entrepreneurs and wealth creators to leave the country, further eroding the tax base and hindering future economic growth.

Kissen notes, 'Britain's GDP per capita is lower today than it was in 2006. We have per capita... less money today than we did 20 years ago.' He describes a situation where 'if you're rich in Britain, you are evil' and that 'we're driving out the business, we're driving out the entrepreneurs.'
