Trump is creating a unipolar moment of "everyone against the US"
it's so funny how they could have built a illiberal autocracy by doing herrenvolk populism but instead are crashing the world economy instead and polarizing everyone against MAGA
i've said before that someone I know keeps describing the impact of Trump's policies as "covid without the virus", and, well.

Both the multipolar great power and neo-imperial unipolar worldviews that we can see in Trump administration thinking are wildly outdated and at odds with each other in the most fundamental ways.

Wow - Merz says the US may already have lost global leadership
"If there had been a unipolar moment after the fall of the Berlin Wall. a unipolar moment in history, it has long passed. The United States claim to leadership has been challenged, and possibly lost."

yeah this story feels seismic to me
the entire unipolar world, like the anti-Soviet sphere before it, is built on the ability of America to project power to any point on the map in defense of trade and global capitalism

This has been the default imperialist position for centuries, so really the oddity was that brief period of comfortable unipolar hegemony where it seemed gauche to say it out loud. No clearer sign of late imperial anxiety than the contemporary return of this old ass monocle and pith helmet blather
On X, a senior U.S. Justice Department official is promoting a post that praises colonization as “one of the greatest things that ever happened to the backwards parts of the world.”👇

The administration thinks it's in a multipolar world of competing great powers and spheres of influence but also in a unipolar world sustained by American exceptionalism. Because it doesn't know much about IR, it doesn't understand its error. 🧵
Donald Trump is trying something risky: the half-abandonment of allies. He is willing to do much less for the defence of Europe and NATO, but still expects allies to do as America says. That’s not a stable relationship and trust is crumbling. My column from #MSC2026
