“Western dominance has ended’, EU foreign-policy chief admits, warning of ‘West against the Rest’ geopolitics
Geopolitical Economy Report ^ | 2/26/24 | Ben Norton

Europe’s top diplomat has acknowledged that the “era of Western dominance has indeed definitively ended”.

Josep Borrell, the European Union’s high representative for foreign affairs, wrote this in a blog post on the official website of the EU’s diplomatic service on February 25.

“If the current global geopolitical tensions continue to evolve in the direction of ‘the West against the Rest’, Europe’s future risks to be bleak”, he warned.

This guy is a loose cannon for the Western narrative. I’m surprised he hasn’t been muzzled by now. For instance, this is a quote from a CNN interview 3/25. He makes a lot of sense.

“Ukraine, we cannot afford Russia to win this war, otherwise the U.S. and European interests will be very damaged.

It's not a matter of generosity alone, it's not a matter of supporting Ukraine because we love Ukrainian people, it is in our own interest.

It is also in the interest of the U.S. as a global player, someone who has to be perceived as a reliable partner, a security provider to the allies.”

“...the West against the Rest’....”

BRICS now represents a larger population than does the “West.”

Would Europe be better if their enemy quit blowing up their pipelines of affordable energy?

What do you expect the sniveling Euroweenie Quislings to say about DC’s terrorist act regardless of who got hammered?

And our countries are being invaded by low IQ third world trash.

White men and merit are being ostracized.
Good luck without us.

Western Europe decided to invest in entitlement programs instead of defense. Same thing with Canada.

USA isn't interested in winning wars due to the MIC. It's all about forever wars and making money of them.

Last year Putin had a wildly successful Africa/Russia Conference in St. Petersburg. Since then the French imperialists have been given the bum’s rush right off the continent (the biggest reason Macron’s panties are so wadded up). The US is getting the frigid shoulder too. Niger just kicked us out and took our new $100 Million dollar drone base.

Global South, the Islamic World (loves Putin and his Palestinian stance), BRICS+, not to mention any traditional cultured nation (everyone but the West) seeing Russia as their only protection from globohomo world hegemony, all combine to already make it the West vs. the Rest.

In a year NYC is going to make San Francisco look good again by giving their illegals pre-paid debit cards, as a result they are going to attract all the third-word trash in the country and the illegals invading us will go straight there. NYC is betting the feds will bail them out to the tune of billions, not so sure about that.

All of those apocalyptic NYC movies that were out a few years ago don’t seem so crazy now.

I agree with what you said for most part except that Putin is a thug. Whoever is asking for his protection is asking for it.

The West isn't perfect. But let's be real. Do you want to live in a gulag nation?

Because they are pussies and afraid to exercise their intrinsic power and wealth.

Be a lawyer anywhere in this country and try to legally look into a stolen election. Mispronoun some pervert. Don’t wear a mask when told and keep your job. Be a cop in any shit hole city in America or be a property owner. Leave your house unattended for two weeks in Brooklyn. Don’t bake a cake for a couple of perverts. Ask a pervert baker to bake a Christian cake. Be a white conservative in any shit hole city in this year’s “Summer of Love”. Exercise your First Amendment Rights by trying to give a speech about God, Trump or Robert E. Lee on any campus in America. Go to Portland and demonstrate against ANTIFA. Walk down any downtown street at night in Memphis or a hundred other shit hole cities, Let the IRS find out you voted for the wrong guy. Run for President saying MAGA. Work for that guy and not be a DOJ/Uniparty stooge. Own a ranch outside of El Paso. Tell the school board you don’t want your kid watching trans twerking day at school. Be a Catholic parent. Try to keep your 8 year old boy from having his genitalia destroyed if you ex so deems. Thugs!?, you want to talk thugs?! FBI/DOJ/IRS!

You're not wrong. But I'm not in a "no-go" zone. So I am relatively free.

Maybe it's a different story where you live in right now. In that case, it's time to move out.

Europeans an their media have been saying this throughout Biden's term.....our media simply wouldn’t say much about it.....plus watching where, who and what European leaders are doing and their business and trade is going speaks volumes. The world’s best exporter as measured by overall sales, mainland China shipped US$3.389 trillion worth of products around the globe in 2023

In the case of US dominance, we're the ones who ended it. We sent our tech and manufacturing jobs out of the country and left our own kids with part time McJobs saying "Fries with that?" We chose cheaper prices over employing our own Vets.

If any American generation deserved to watch their country die, it's ours. I'm just sorry that our kids, who aren't at fault for the mess we left them, will have to live with it.

The oligarchs of Team D and Team R of the DC Uniparty destroyed America for their massive profits.

No doubt they enabled it, but we made it happen. How? By choosing the short term benefits of saving a few pennies on communist made paint brushes over the long term benefits of buying American and keeping our manufacturing, technology, money, and tax base here.

We had a choice. The companies outsourced because we chose the cheaper products. If we had bought made in USA, the companies that used American labor would have made the profits. However, we chose price, and the companies had no choice but to off shore to compete.

I say we because many Freepers at the time supported those trade deals.

And after all of that, where are those cheaper prices we were promised?
