Putin’s triumph after 18 years: Munich Security Conference embraces multipolarity

by Alfredo Jalife-Rahme

It was at the Munich Security Conference in 2007 that Vladimir Putin harangued European diplomatic and military leaders to confront them with their sovereignty: No, their interests do not lie in blindly following the United States. It was again before the same conference, this time in 2025, that JD Vance confronted them with their sovereignty: No, it is not by violating their own principles that they will be able to govern.

The defeat of the Khazarian comedian Zelensky and the inauguration of Trump 2.0 have catalyzed the beginning of a new tripolar world order between the United States, Russia and China [1] and have proven right the already historic speech of Tsar Vladimir Putin 18 years ago at the Munich Security Conference (MSC), where he had advocated for “creative multipolarity [2]”.

Since 2007, I have appreciated the depth of Putin’s geostrategic thinking: a year before the collapse of Lehman Brothers on Wall Street, which the Obama/Biden duo tried to make China take responsibility for, China finally became aware of the perversity of its underground relationship with the Biden family (father Joe and son Hunter).

The culminating moment came when, nolens volens, a G-2 was launched between China and Russia, a group that today seems more indissoluble than ever and that has left the United States isolated on the geostrategic level.

A phrase from Putin, who has already entered history as one of the greatest geostrategists of the 21st century, testifies to an inescapable prospective: "the economic potential of the new centers of global economic growth will inevitably be transformed into political influence and will strengthen multipolarity."

Ten days after Trump 2.0 came to power, his Secretary of State, the Cuban-American Marco Rubio, admitted in an interview with Megyn Kelly, 18 years after Putin’s prophecy, the inevitability of the new multipolar order in which China and Russia stand out, on a par with the United States [3],

Marco Rubio sharply criticized the Biden administration for prolonging its unilateral moment, for underestimating Russia, and for launching its war on command in Ukraine thinking that Russia was weak.

With the humiliating defeat in Ukraine as a backdrop, the MSC, 18 years later, chooses to timidly address “multipolarisation” [4], as power shifts to a greater number of actors with the capacity to influence key global issues.—

The MSC does not hide its inherent Russophobia and its grotesque narrative of events to mentally deny Russia’s triumph in Ukraine and prefers the option of China as the most prominent and powerful defender of the multipolar order, as the defender of the countries of the Global South.

The MSC comically overlooks the inseparable G-2 between Russia and China that constitutes the backbone of BRICS+ and has left far behind the geoeconomic mediocrity of the G-7.

Precisely, during the MSC, none other than Wang Yi, responsible for Chinese foreign policy from the Politburo, welcomed the consensus reached by the US and Russia regarding Ukraine [5].

While waiting for the Putin/Xi/Trump supreme tripartite summit in Moscow to celebrate Victory Day on May 9 [6]. , negotiations between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia are announced for this week, with the frightening and remarkable absence of Europe as a whole - and also waiting for the electoral defeat of the globalist regimes dependent on the Rothschild bankers and George Soros in Germany, Great Britain and France - the side that turned out to be the big loser in the war in Ukraine.

It is worth highlighting the message of the Russian geopolitician and philosopher Alexander Dugin: "We are already there. End of globalism. End of Ukraine. End of Canada. End of the European Union [7]".

The contempt of the US towards Europe is dramatic: whether it is the Straussian and pro-Khazar neoconservatives, like Vicky Nuland - with her phrase "fuck Europe!" " in 2014, when she was plotting to bring about regime change in Ukraine [8], or the diatribe of Vice-President JD Vance at the MSC, who denounced the censorship of freedom of expression, as well as the anti-democratic practices of the European Union in Romania [9].

Mistakes, like defeats, are painful. What will happen to Europe in the rest of the 21st century? Biden’s ignominious defeat in Ukraine will be Trump’s tripolar triumph.

UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE MEDIOCRE MASS MEDIA DE MIERDA ARE PUSHING THE LINE THAT EUROPE WILL SAVE ZELENSKY AND UKRAINE THAT WILL BRING RUSSIA TO ITS KNEES... THE LEADERS OF THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE ARE A BUNCH OF DEGENERATES, LED BY A COUPLE OF IDIOTES — KALLAS AND VON DE LYING — WHO BY DEFAULT FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE HEAD OF A CRUMBLING ROTTEN ORGANISM THAT IS WORSE THAN A CIRCLE OF POISONOUS MUSHROOMS...

THE EUROPEAN TITANIC IS STAYING THE COURSE, THE WATCH AT THE TOP OF THE MAST IS ASLEEP (ACTUALLY DEAD) AND THE ENGINE ROOMS ARE ON FIRE... OBLIVIOUS TO THE ONCOMING DISASTER, THE VIOLINS ARE STILL PLAYING A WALTZ SLOWLY TURNING INTO A FUNERAL LAMENT... AS THE SEA STARTS TO FILL THE TUBAS...

NATO countries in Europe more than doubled their arms imports in the past five years, more than 60 percent of which were purchases of US weaponry, researchers on Monday.

The findings by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) coincide with an announcement by European Union states that they intend to strengthen the continent's defence capabilities in response to a US foreign policy shift under President Donald Trump.

In the period 2020 to 2024, Ukraine became the world's largest arms importer.

The United States consolidated its position as the world's top weapons exporter -- accounting for 43 percent of global exports -- far ahead of the second largest, France, which accounted for 9.6 percent.

Over that same period, arms imports by European NATO members rose by 105 percent compared to the previous five years.

That reflects "the rearmament taking place among states in Europe in response to the threat from Russia", said Mathew George, the head of the SIPRI Arms Transfers Programme.

The United States provided 64 percent of these weapons, compared to 52 percent in the period from 2015 to 2019.

"With an increasingly belligerent Russia and transatlantic relations under stress during the first Trump presidency, European NATO states have taken steps to reduce their dependence on arms imports and to strengthen the European arms industry," senior researcher Pieter Wezeman said.

"But the transatlantic arms supply relationship has deep roots.

"Imports from the USA have risen and European NATO states have almost 500 combat aircraft and many other weapons still on order from the USA," he added.

Countries including Italy and the United Kingdom have also bought US-made F35 fighter jets and Patriot anti-air defence systems, which are complex systems that are difficult to quickly substitute, Wezeman told AFP.

"The F-35 is, of course, an American product but as part of (F-35) sales to European states ... the industry in those states has also been involved in the production of key components," the researcher said.

Countries like Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark -- which is currently embroiled in diplomatic tensions with the United States over Greenland's future -- are even more dependent on US weaponry, he explained.

Changing that "would require an enormous financial and political investment", Wezeman said.

"Arms procurement takes many years, and often it takes a lot more time than a US presidential term."

MEANWHILE:

   by Adam Dick

President Donald Trump’s efforts, through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and otherwise, to reduce United States government spending is the focus of much attention. Indeed, in his speech Tuesday night in the US Capitol, Trump listed several expenditures his administration had uncovered that he categorized as “appalling waste.” He also declared that his administration would balance the budget, something he noted had not been accomplished in 24 years.

It was thus peculiar that Trump slipped into his over hour and a half speech a shout-out to one of the groups most notorious for involvement in massive spending by the United States government — the military-industrial complex. The shout-out, though, was likely not understood by most people. This is because Trump did not use the term “military industrial complex.”

The term “military-industrial complex” was first used by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell speech in the context of a warning to the American people. “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex,” declared Eisenhower on January 17, 1961. Continuing, Eisenhower warned that this military-industrial complex threatened to “endanger our liberties or democratic processes.” Over the decades since, the term has been regularly used by other individuals who have warned, like Eisenhower did, against this particularly dangerous and expensive public-private venture.

Instead of stating “military-industrial complex,” Trump used the more public relations approved substitute term of “defense industrial base.” Declared Trump:

To boost our defense industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the American shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding. And for that purpose, I am announcing tonight that we will create a new office of shipbuilding in the White House and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America, where it belongs.

We used to make so many ships. We don’t make them anymore very much, but we’re going to make them very fast, very soon. It will have a huge impact.

And Trump’s proclaimed effort to boost the military-industrial complex goes beyond starting a vast program for shipbuilding. Just preceding these shipbuilding comments, Trump declared his commitment to pursuing another huge program through the military-industrial complex:

As commander in chief, my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future. As a first step, I’m asking Congress to fund a state of the art “golden dome” missile defense shield to protect our homeland. All made in the U.S.A.

Trump did in his Tuesday night speech mention Eisenhower approvingly. But, Trump talked only about Eisenhower’s effort as president to deport people from America. Hopefully, Trump will further consider Eisenhower’s presidency and heed the warning about the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower offered. In the meantime, beneficiaries of the military-industrial complex will be anticipating ocean-spanning and sky-high profit.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico lashed out at the EU over its military aid policy to Ukraine, reaffirming Slovakia’s stance of refusing to send weapons or money while only offering humanitarian support. He criticized Brussels for pressuring member states and praised Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán for resisting EU decisions amid frozen funds. Fico also expressed skepticism about NATO’s future, hinted at U.S. plans to replace Zelensky, and claimed the Ukrainian leader benefits from prolonging the war. Warning of major geopolitical shifts, he suggested Europe must prepare for a post-NATO security order while dismissing mandatory military service for Slovakia.
