Washington think-tanks and other US power strategy agencies may be very clever, but they seem to be unfamiliar with their classics: there are moments in history when one must avoid trying to keep up with the Joneses. Remember the fable of the Frog and the Ox?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack to reality\u201d is the common thread throughout this issue, as it concerns the car industry as well as Brexit and even raw materials. But our focus is particularly on three American psychoses in the last thirty years that fall under this theme:<\/p>\n<p>. the dream of global democratisation<\/p>\n<p>. the fantasy of energy supremacy<\/p>\n<p>. the delusion of digital world domination<\/p>\n<p>These three strategic axes, which have been at work for twenty to thirty years, have literally depleted an America whose produced and captured wealth has only fuelled the megalomania, for a (non-existent) return on its investment. We anticipate a sudden and imminent wake up to the 21st-century realities on all three of these points.<\/p>\n<p>It is always difficult to anticipate the various ways the boomerang could bounce back. But from a systemic (and psychiatric) point of view, awareness of reality is always a good thing&#8230; for the person concerned as well as for those around him. American society has been leached dry and badly needs its elites to take an interest in its fate. And the rest of the world needs its former leader to find its place in a recognised and accepted multipolar order.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re taking an optimistic stance in this issue intended once again to shed light on the paths to the future and out of the gloom of the dead-end streets.<\/p>\n<p>Join the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/groups\/8920719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GEAB Community<\/a>\u00a0on LinkedIn for more discussions on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>____________________________<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compteur.net\/compteur-population-mondiale\/\">World population counter <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0Franck Biancheri wrote in 2003:<em> In any case, let\u2019s not forget that if all our states went into building the EU \u2026 it is because they all felt too small to face alone both their future and the rest of the world.<\/em> Source FB Documentation: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franck-biancheri.eu\/size-does-not-matter-any-more-in-the-eu-franck-biancheri-2003\/#_blank\"><em>Size does not matter anymore in the EU<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For 12 years, the West has been struggling to understand the message of the 2008 crisis: &#8220;You are no longer the only ones on the planet!\u201d The dollar, international organisations dominated by the West, Western-centric financial markets, trade flows focused on Europe and the US,\u2026 the fantastic global trade network set up during the first [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":99437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[238,4700,5773,5685,5578],"class_list":["post-99444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-perspective","tag-europe-en","tag-geopolitics","tag-newtech-en","tag-transatlantic","tag-unitedstates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
