Shielding the World From US Chaos Is No Easy Task<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump\u2019s foreign policy relies heavily on putting to use to the tools available to the Empire: economic terrorism<\/a>, threats of war<\/a>, diplomatic pressure<\/a>, trade wars<\/a>, etc. But in resorting to tried-and-true imperialism, it is isolating itself<\/a> internationally from traditional allies and raising tensions on the global chessboard to an unprecedented level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threats of war against Venezuela, North Korea, Syria and Iran are now repeated on a daily basis. Economic measures involving tariffs or duties<\/a>, in many ways comparable to declarations of war<\/a>, are now habitual, whether directed at friends or allies. Iran<\/a> and Syria<\/a> are under sanctions, while Pyongyang is even prevented from docking<\/a> one of its ships in its ports, thereby finding itself de facto placed under US embargo, such as was threatened against Venezuela<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China and Russia are daily fighting to support the multipolar world through diplomatic, economic and sometimes military means, offering to Washington\u2019s enemies some kind of shield with which to withstand the outrageous slings and arrows of the Trump administration. Beijing and Moscow carry out their resistance with an eye to their long-term objectives, given that in the short term their actions will inevitably invite the implacable hostility of Washington and her lackeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fate of the new multipolar world order essentially depends on how well China and Russia will be able weather Washington\u2019s storm. It is naturally in the interests of the rest of the world that the chaos of Washington\u2019s unipolarity will be brought to a close in the least chaotic and destructive manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
