The world trading system based on the United States is over

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad]
The world economy today is fundamentally different from yesterday. The system of world trade centered on the United States... is over. Our old relationship of ever-deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80-year period in which the United States assumed the role of economic leader... is over. While this is a tragedy, it is also a new reality."
(c) Canadian Prime Minister Carney


Well, that's fine, although it was inevitable.

Under Biden, the US realized the inevitability of the collapse of the old Washington world order and bet on reshaping it in their favor as part of constructing a new world order. The key bet was the defeat of Russia. In case of victory, the globalists could count on preserving the old economic system.

But since they failed to defeat Russia, and Russia became one of the actors generating the processes of forming new economic systems untied from the globalist model, this made the dismantling of the globalist economic model inevitable, which is what Trump is doing, refusing the slightest hint of "free trade" and "globalist economy", returning the US to the stage of economic protectionism and military-political imperialism. And thus the collapse of the Washington world order that existed since the early 90s is completed.

Russia has already won its existence in the brave new post-Washington world. There is currently a military-political and economic struggle going on over how advantageous and strong Russia’s position will be within the framework of the new world order.

#2  Why We Should Be Very Angry About the Tariffs — and Why Trump Is Right Again
...For decades, our so-called allies and trading partners have been gleefully waging economic warfare on the United States, with the full permission — no, the encouragement — of prior administrations. China flooded our markets with cheap steel, violating trade norms and collapsing American mills. The European Union protected its own industries while slapping barriers on ours. Japan, Taiwan, and others enjoyed one-sided access to our consumers while shielding their own markets with layers of red tape and tariffs.
