WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, Monde Libertaire - The Return of Gunboat Capitalism (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr) [machine translation]

 While Donald Trump's election was a thunderclap in American politics as

well as internationally, the emergence of Californian IT conglomerates
heralds a subsequent upheaval of liberal capitalism. Gone is free trade
under the auspices of the WTO, gone is multilateralism sponsored by the
G7, gone is respect for the rights of states and their sovereignty
organized by a completely discredited UN. From now on, it's the
diplomacy of power grabs and blackmail. Realizing that the planet is on
the verge of exhausting its mineral resources, American tech consortia,
in order to survive and control the world, need rare earths at any cost,
imposing their dictates on recalcitrant states. But to achieve their
goals, it is necessary to destroy state structures, their bureaucracies,
and their parliamentary regimes, which, with their norms and
regulations, are obstacles to their expansion. The establishment of
autocracies across the planet, veritable branches of US corporations,
will be enough to keep people in happy submission by flooding them with
social media.

Finally, it is urgent to review the organization of the world founded at
Yalta (1945) as well as the Bretten Woods Agreements (the organization
of the international monetary system in 1944).
Long live the return of empires: the USA, China, Russia, with their
insatiable appetites. In the midst of this organized chaos, European
states are nothing more than folkloric baronies, with the African
continent seen as a gigantic mountain of strategic minerals where the
three empires can binge-go.

In this context, Ukraine is just a minor incident that will be resolved
immediately because a few "malicious individuals" aren't going to slow
things down.
So, is the matter settled? No, the human factor is always uncertain.
There will be betrayals, there will be collaboration, there will be
indifference. But there could also be revolt because there, there is no
forecast, the future always remains open!
