Europe on the margins: the new world order is drawn elsewhere. “Follow the money” is the mantra that now guides the construction of the new geopolitics whose interpreters are Donald Trump, Mohammad Bin Salman And Benjamin Netanyahu. The recent US-Russia summit on peace in Ukraine, hosted in the Saudi Royal Residence, the Diriyah Palace of Riyadh, is only the tip of the iceberg of a series of meetings between billionaires and heads of state, held in secret from the Trump re-election to the White House. The much coveted peace in Ukraine and the reorganization in the Middle East are nothing more than the first tests of a game of power designed to shape world public opinion.
The protagonists of this reorganization are clearly the United States, Saudi Arabia and Israel, while Erdogan’s Turkey is forced to make a good face on a bad gameafter receiving substantial aid from Moscow and Riyadh to neutralize the 2016 coup attempt. And everything is still in the making in the irritation exchanges of effusions of the last few hours, between Trump and the Chinese XI, with Taiwan that could become the next victim designated. With all due respect to old Europe. The “cradle of civilization” is now without cards to play. Marginal, irrelevant, spectator, overwhelmed by absurd rules to be respected. Without innovation, without oil, without a common defense, without shared commercial policies and, above all, without a unitary foreign vision.
Old continent? No, only old. It does not even help demography: the average age in Europe is 44.7 years, while China (39), USA (38.8), Saudi Arabia (32) and Israel (28.3) can count on younger populations and dynamics. In the meantime, the world continues to travel and the ‘others’ agree with everyone, even forgetting the most recent tensions. Trump and China reopened a dialogue, despite the 2016 US electoral campaign was openly anti-pechino. Russia, after three years of ostracism for the invasion of Ukraine, is ready to return to the G7, which would return to be G8. Mohammad Bin Salman has returned to the center of the scene, with the world leaders who filed the episode of the murder of the journalist Khashoggi, made to pieces and transported outside the embassy to a suitcase. Bin Salman’s “fire power” has made miracles: He brought water to the desert of Saudi Arabia and now aims to free the country’s economy from the grip of oil. With his “Saudi Vision 2030”, between mega projects and futuristic stadiums, the Saudi prince is also investing in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
And so it was that, in the same year, he recognized the strategic value of Matteo Renzi Which, with forward -looking political nose, supported him before he even became the hereditary prince. Today Renzi returns to the spotlight: it seems to have recently crossed Trump in Miami, while for some time, through the network of Marco Carrai And Andrea Stroppahe approached the world of Elon Musk. The latter now protagonist geopolitical, as well as technological. I do not pay Starlink who is advertising massively in Italy with subscriptions to 40 euros per month, and of the AI under his control, with his humanoids, is now working on a new order also on the human level. And who dares to put on his way, like the leaders of American intelligence, is made out. Donald Trump’s return to the White House was “disruptive”as the Americans would say. And the large investment funds of Wall Street, although wary, are recalibrating their strategies. Meanwhile, the Deep State is looking for the way containing the cyclone that is sweeping away the old balances kept for a long time by the Democrats. The US-Saudi-Israel-Russia-China Axis-Raby is now the pillar of the new world order. With a single common enemy (almost) to all: Iran.
In general, while Europe continues to remain the Pietra Constant, despite Giorgia Meloni’s commendable efforts, the first to understand and adapt to the frenetic arrival of Trump, the old continent, pending the election results in Germany, seems Having chosen the path of isolation, perched on internal egoisms and rivalries, like an elderly man who reappears his “no to everything”, copyright Mario Draghi. Is the De profundis Final for the European project of the founding fathers, from De Gasperi to Adenauer. The world changes, the power that never sleeps, moves.
