Thank you Mr Andrew Korybkos for this contribution, especially since it is a point I did not know yet.

I think that Trump and the neoconservatives behind him are not driven by a short-term agenda, but should be considered in the medium and long term. According to everything you read, the keyword is Trump’s agenda, the people he brings into his government etc. It remains to be seen how he wants to achieve all this, especially since the democrats in the states are already calling for resistance and the government apparatus probably should also be cleaned up so as not to repeat mistakes from his first term of office Stichwort Ukraine etc.

Trump will probably focus mainly on the domestic area and the international hotbeds to get this under control. At the same time Vance should be built up as his successor and then complete the next 8 years, what he started, that would be if everything runs in this sense 12 years in which you can actually achieve a lot.

If he can still find a reasonable deal with RF, that’s at least a good start. In this context, we should remember 1989.

Just as the former USSR let down its socialist brothers, today one would say vassals, so will the EU states. That’s my forecast, because the EU economy is to migrate to the USA and Blackrock has already done a very good piece of work. If DE continues its de-industrialization, the largest net contributor to the EU will eventually fail and the EU will collapse. This will not happen today or tomorrow, but it will happen.The next Chancellor Merz is former European head of Blackrock.

Let’s remember George Orwell and his book 1984, he speaks of 3 power centers, the USA, China Asia and RF Europe with changing relations. Even if it is only at the beginning, but Biden has with his strategy on the one hand brought China closer to India and strengthened rather than weakened India’s role in the BRICS+.

Trump as a deal maker has no interest in this, he wants the USA to be number one. 1 and for this it requires, as Zbigniew Brzezińskis described in his book, the world’s only power, a dispute among the other countries. The author wrote not for nothing of the USA, its vassals and tributary countries.

Apparently the route for freight traffic RF - India has already started in some way. The FR has gained a high degree of recognition and influence due to its wise foreign policy and the associated contacts with China, India, Pakistan and Iran as well as Saudi Arabia. But it uses this very discreetly.I also think there are people in the USA who envy the RF about his foreign minister Lavrow. Think of the G20 summit at which Macron, the French head of government, is going to Lavrov to greet him.

The neoconservatives in the US who stand behind Trump probably admire Putin’s policies both internally and externally. Domestic because the "old" values are in the foreground. as we have learned in the GDR, the family (man+woman+child(er)) as the smallest cell of society are the highest good that it is necessary to protect. LBGT genders and all this stuff but now applies to every sensible person no matter what sexual orientation he has not.

India also has a long tradition, with only the Value West throwing traditions into the garbage heap of history.

Not to mention Sino-Indian rapprochement.

I do not think that in the case of Kenya, the general populace sees no need for them to consider the greater geopolitics of the Adani matter. They see corruption, a giveaway of state assets and crony induced capitalism. Parting gift by Biden or not, Adani’s indictment and thr cancellation of the deal was good thing for Kenya

In the post-1991 era, the basic principle of Western diplomacy is: "You little chicken, come here, do this. Otherwise, I will hit you really bad." At the best of times for the West, it worked. Putin changed all that almost single-handedly. Yes China eroded US economic power. Had China not existed at all, some other countries would have eroded US economic power because the cause of the decline of the USA was the USA's fiscal policy and manufacturers going off-shore. If Trump does not change US foreign policies and global strategies significantly, the USA will have no choice but to become a tariff fortress and smoldering inside. The situation is no different from the story of the north wind and sun competing to get a person to remove his coat.

India needs to stand its ground no matter who's in charge in the US. The hegemon is cracking at the seams, slowly falling into a debt-doom loop abyss towards impotence even Cialis can't erect. Modi's been bending over to the US so much he can't stand straight. But then again, India needs those Western paid call centers like the Dell computer company uses, which takes a long time to buy anything due to communication barriers and occasionally get double billed as happened to me. So keep on sucking the US baseball through a 100 feet hose, India until the eventual day you'll swallow it. Ya ain't ready for the big leagues yet. lol
