Globalist

Politics has been so divisive that Americans think that the battle is between right and left but that is not the case. The battle is much bigger and is between the old ways of doing things as represented by globalization and the new way of reducing the influence of the globalist. There are many political leaders who have a vested interest in the past where world organizations influenced US policy but that is where the new battle lines are drawn. The US is no longer willing to be the policeman for the world. The US will no longer offer monetary support to global organizations and no longer protect the free trade lines of the oceans. Countries will be forced to be more responsible for their safety a economic growth. The change can be best illustrated by comparing the speech that Obama gave when he went to Europe and the words of JD Vance spoken this week in Munich. Here is Obama in Europe in 2009. We must be honest. In recent years we’ve allowed our Alliance to drift. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive and derisive. Vance said that European democratic institutions and rights to freedom of speech were being undermined by cancelling elections and challenging free speech using words like misinformation and disinformation. He said the enemy within is more dangerous that the enemy from Russia or China. Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize for his speech but Vance will be criticized. The world is not yet ready to leave the old ways.
