At Anchorage, the world map was redrawn. It’s becoming ever clearer that Putin and Trump have redivided the globe’s spheres of influence up in Alaska. The military assaults against the Venezuela-based drug networks had a very specific purpose. The huge tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazilian coffee imports weren’t just meant to discipline president Lula for his excessive independence. They were also meant to raise the specter against someone else. The anarchist-capitalist Javier Milei’s party won Argentina’s midterm election thanks to Donald Trump’s promise to send $20 billion in financial aid to pull the country out of crisis. All these “American delicacies” had but one objective: to drive Russia out of South America. The Monroe Doctrine of the United States, which proclaimed as early as 1823 that European powers would no longer colonize or interfere in the internal affairs of the Americas, is not only still in force, but is being strengthened under the Trump administration.

Back in September, the Pentagon was supposed to present Congress a report on combat missions and on the situation of troops in the world’s theatres of operations. A story published in Zelenskyy’s regime’s house newspaper announced that, according to three sources, American military brigades would be relocated from Romania to other destinations – news that has caused concern in Kyiv. It must be said that the Bucharest regime has remained the sole anti-Trump bastion in Eastern Europe. The current four-party coalition is now crumbling at its foundations after Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan decided to nominate as deputy prime minister an NGO activist who once described Trump and J. D. Vance as “a couple of thugs”. In Washington, it is well known that the current Foreign Minister, Oana Țoiu, is another fierce anti-Trumpist, “foaming at the mouth”, as they say. The leader of the Social-Democrats (the party with the largest number of MPs) is calling on the Prime Minister to withdraw his deputy-PM proposal “so as not to compromise relations with the United States and steer the government toward diplomatic disaster”. Never before has the strategic partnership between the USA and Romania been in such a state of decay. The ruling power in Bucharest, in cahoots with the former American administration and the Brussels Deep State, cancelled the free election, all because an avowed pro-Trump candidate would have won.

And the cherry on top? Leaked reports announce the withdrawal of several American brigades from Romania. The military base at Mihail Kogălniceanu (Europe’s second-largest, after Ramstein in Germany) has for decades been one where the Pentagon has “parked” troops.

The East-European tectonic block seems to be turning into an island of its own. Just now, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has announced plans to form a coalition of three EU member states (Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary) that would oppose Brussels’ decisions to provide military and financial aid to Ukraine.

Andrej Babiš and Robert Fico, the leaders of Czechia and Slovakia, share similar views about Europe’s future. In fact, Viktor Orbán recently explained at a summer school in Romania that “HUEXIT” will only become possible if Hungary ends up contributing more to the EU than it receives.

In a recent podcast, former Foreign Minister Adrian Severin (the architect of the Romania-USA strategic partnership) expressed his belief that Europe’s future is already split. According to the so-called “New Malta Accord” reached at Anchorage, Europe is dividing into three parts: the Rhenish or Westphalian part, made up of France and Germany, jointly with the Mediterranean states; the northern bloc, comprising the Baltic States and Poland, falling under American influence; and the middle zone, the former MittelEuropa, with its capital in Vienna (Budapest is still being negotiated), drawn into Moscow’s orbit. Of course, this division won’t materialize tomorrow, it will come only after Europe self-destructs.

The fall of the Western Roman Empire took nearly four centuries. Today’s Europe, heir to that vast imperial territory, is moving much faster. Let us not forget that after the imperial grandeur of ancient Rome came the Red Plague and the witchcraft era, the most dreadful of the eras of the former “global warming”.
