As crazy as it sounds, some times I think the only way out is for NATO to invade Russia.
Too bad it is a “defensive” alliance and it almost feels like countries like Russia feel entitled to provoke and manipulate it.
And then there is the nuclear topic.

It’s already too late for the west, the east will lead the new global order.

Ugh, it’s gross when people masturbate over presidents. They’re meant to be servants of the people, but like Stubb he’s just another wealthy snob on the political Right, and deserves no admiration or worship. The best he can do is to do his job and not fuck up too badly.
I have nothing against Stubb personally, but I am so incredibly tired of all the ‘tough’ statements, angry letters, ‘initiatives’, tweets, speeches, you name it, coming out of Europe. Take some real action and I will pay attention. Until then, all of this is just performative nonsense.

I have to agree with Peter Zeihan on this on.
Current past order is ending because the USA cannot and will make it last any longer.
Without a dominant superpower, we will revert to an AI age version of the 19th century.
Less stability, more heterogeneity, less globalism, more localism, more war, less commerce…

It’s already too late. There’s a reason why America is using force to enact regime change in Venezuela, it’s because America’s imperialism through economic sanction isn’t working.
It’s also funny how it’s titled “The West’s Last Chance” when it’s just America because European countries are just loyal dogs.

I read the article. Stubb says what should be done to fix the world’s current descent into authoritarianism, climate catastrophe, and war, without the slightest indication of what could actually be done to bring such changes into effect. While speaking objectively about Russia’s genocidal war against Ukraine, he simply says “the Middle East seethes”, absolving genocidal state actors like Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia of all responsibility. He later goes on to describe Saudi Arabia as a member of the Global South, a ridiculous assertion considering it is a key ally of the USA and the EU. He also never addresses the fundamental contradictions in capitalism that lead to exploitation, democracy descending into oligarchy, and the disintegration of human community.
At the end of the day, Stubb is a liberal. Maybe not a neoliberal, but a liberal, and liberalism’s inherent support for capitalism means that it can never adequately address the problems we are facing today.
As long as people associate socialism with the statist totalitarianism of the Soviet Union, its proxies, and China, instead of accepting the fact that these were societies ruled by oligarchies of cadres loyal to a ruling political party, rather than workers, that descended into capitalism with state guardrails (what China is today), we will never get any closer to fixing the problems of the world. The fundamental economic base of the world is what is causing all of these problems, and until it is changed, none will be fixed.

So…after all, Europe will send troops to Ukraine, finally?
Finland really Has the most Instagrammable presidents.
I’m lost for words. And I mean literally, because I have no idea what this is supposed to be. Am I living under a rock? Sorry.

New global order, you say?

Look, why publish it behind a [paywall](https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/wests-last-chance)?
Performative male final boss.
