The world is shifting. “McCarthyism” and the “War on Terror” will no longer be sufficient models for explaining the complexity of what is likely to unfold over the next few years.
Israel standing with Trump while Trump stands by Putin? In geopolitical terms, Putin’s objectives in the Middle East intersect in complicated ways with those of Iran. And economically, China can no longer conceal its intention to become a major player in this game.
A possible China-Russia-Iran axis is what concerns me most. Internal divisions within the United States may look small compared with the divisions taking shape across the world.
Then there is the surge of incendiary propaganda, coming both from Russia and from groups within the United States itself.
And there is more. Much more.
Watch the news with an open mind, and without assuming that tomorrow will look much like yesterday.
