The Multipolar World Order (yes, it's here)

[sdv]

Carney: One thing I did find jarring about Carney's speech is that it contained contradictions such as 'human rights' and 'sovereignty'. Part of the problem is that sovereignty has been ignored for the sake of 'human rights', and human rights has been interpreted in reality by the West. Coups, invasions, destruction of the gains of socialism, etc. ... all are justified in the name of human rights, but human rights are completely ignored in Gaza, and the latest outright contempt for sovereignty is for Iran and Iceland. Neither the UN nor the rules-based order he seems to champion have been able to uphold and protect human rights and respect sovereignty.

Much of his speech was inspiring in its daring to speak the truth. It was a declaration of war of sorts rather than the war itself.

Quote of the Day

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

🇷🇺 Marina Kim on a World Beyond Washington’s Map

Marina Kim’s recent remarks offer a blunt diagnosis: a widening gap between Washington’s assumptions and the material reality of the global order. Delivered with mockery, impatience, and strategic warning, her critique frames U.S. elites as operating with an obsolete worldview—politically, economically, and psychologically.

She opens with ridicule, not theory. Western narratives about sanctions, Kim notes, have become comic. “We laughed a lot,” she says. “We heard good laughter about the refrigerators and the chips… Now we are laughing at the toilet bowls.” The point is dismissal: what was meant as pressure is now received as farce.

From farce, Kim pivots to failure—the central failure, in her view, of U.S. leadership: an inability to grasp a changed world. “They don’t evaluate the whole world correctly,” she argues. “The world has changed. The world is different.” American decision-makers, she contends, remain trapped in a narrow frame, mistaking their domestic stage for the globe. “We’re not limited by Mar-a-Lago, Florida. We have China, we have India, we have Malaysia, we have Indonesia, there’s Africa—and a huge Eurasian continent whose natural resources exceed what America has together with Canada.”

This shift is structural, she stresses. “Not just politically but also economically, this world has changed, and all the connections have changed.” For Kim, the most consequential evidence of Western blindness lies in money itself.

“The whole economy of the world is not built around the dollar,” she states. The assumption that currency dominance permanently guarantees U.S. power misunderstands what money represents. “The dollar is just a question of trust,” she says—a trust she argues is eroding due to debt, institutional decay, and political dysfunction. “That trust is so low that all this monopoly of the dollar… it just has its last days.”

Kim frames the rise of alternative financial systems not as ideological rebellion but as inevitable adaptation. “BRICS are not getting together just by chance,” she notes. People and states seek reliability where they no longer see it guaranteed. Once such mechanisms exist, “it’s impossible to stop them.”

Against this backdrop, Kim’s view of U.S. politics hardens into a warning. She describes Washington’s dynamics as spectacle, not strategy. “It looks like a circus show,” she says, questioning whether observers watch “acrobatics or a clown.” This uncertainty is destabilizing. “That show program that they have… we don’t like that show.”

She sharpens the critique on governance itself. “Everybody that surrounds him—it’s like a drama queen. The whole administration is a drama queen,” she says, likening it to a daily soap opera. In Kim’s assessment, this performative intensity is not just unserious—it is dangerous.

The stakes, she insists, are existential. “The world is on the line,” she warns, emphasizing the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the global consequences of regional conflicts. Under such conditions, emotional governance is intolerable. “To allow yourself to have this emotional activity—you can’t do that. Russia and the U.S. cannot allow themselves that.”

Her conclusion is a call for restraint and realism. She frames Russia’s position as focused on global safety, arguing that great powers must act with composure in a strained system. What she demands from Washington is adjustment: an acknowledgment that the old certainties have expired, and that the emerging order cannot be managed through performance, nostalgia, or monetary assumption.

Taken together, Kim’s remarks form a coherent worldview. They present a single, insistent claim: the international system has already changed. Those who act as if it has not are not merely out of date—they are a risk to everyone else.

That's what I said when the Syrian color revolution failed.

It's been more and more visible through the Ukraine situation.

Finally, we see it here in a rather spontaneous reaction to newer and more blatant ways of out-of-date, changeless, undiplomatic power projection.

Now the new Syrian state will attempt a conquest or genocide and we will get down to the real issue of disenfranchising the Kurds in the 1930s, while they are at the meeting. Those are the patron saints of multi-polarity. They have a huge diaspora in many of the countries participating in WEF. I think it may have lost the "world" part, and, is just an economic forum.
