| Summary / Abstract (Note) | POLITICAL ANALYSTS in many countries, including America, have been discussing a post-American world for years now. The Ukrainian crisis and its impending end allow us to talk about a new kind of geopolitics, since extensive American involvement in this conflict by proxy might mean that the defeat of Kiev will become the defeat of the US/Anglo-Saxons, albeit indirectly - but that is the only possible form of defeat in the era of nuclear confrontation. After the defeat of Napoleon's France and Hitler's Germany, this is the last missing link in the chain of forceful showdowns between the West and Russia. This will bring a new normal to global and European politics ushered in by a period of nonconfrontation during which the Western elites will learn to accept the new reality. This will be complicated by their euphoria over "victory in the Cold War" and the illusion of a "unipolar world" that have shaped the current generation of Western politicians. |
