New World Disorder

"We must promote trade and investment, liberalization and facilitation through opening up – and say no to protectionism."

Xi Jinping

Just as we speculated a couple of months ago, that the Panama Papers were a undercover attack against Russian oligarchy, especially president Putin, it seems that the whole concept of the USA elections hacking was undoubtedly Russia's overwhelming answer, one that USA democratic system was far from ready to take, it's results, we all already sensed a bit through Donald Trump's Twitter trolling style, launching strident and damaging midnight "lone wolf" attacks to USA and other car companies once willing to take advantage from offshore investment and operations, just as Trump's soon to be head of commerce, Wilbur Ross, who as reported by Reuters, made millions with these type of foreign business.

On January 20, Donald Trump will officially become the 45, and the least prepared ever, president of the most powerful nation in the world, Trump arrives with a fully divided country, with more than half of the vote falling on his election rival, Hillary Clinton, among accusations of being compromised by the Russians intelligence, it seems that more than having a Russian agent in the White House, Putin's main objective is to have a divided American society, applying that old but wise statement of "divide and conquer", strategy widely and constantly applied all o ver the world, in Latin America, Middle East, Asia and of course in Europe where we can make some conclusions and detect Russian influence in political conflicts like Greece's default situation, Hungary's and Poland's move towards authoritarian regimes, the Ukrainian constant siege, Brexit, Italy's referendum, the refugees crisis and the financial funding of nationalist populism political parties like France's National Front, which unashamedly admitted accepting money from a Russian bank associated with the Kremlin.

Donald Trump was announced as winner of the USA elections on November 9, in a postmodern coup d etat, on a date that echoes the legendary coup named the 18 Brumaire in France, I believe there are no coincidences and that everything happens for a reason, Russia will benefit greatly from an inexperienced USA government, from a polarizing, narcissist president, from a man who despises democracy, with no moral counterweight to denounce autocracy, Putin can't be signaled as a dictator anymore, it's the normalization of autocracy, a weird era that begins in January 20, sending us right into the Twilight Zone, a “New World Disorder”, in which unexpectedly China rises in the middle of the Davos forum as the defending champion of free market and globalization, condemning the rising wave of protectionism coming from USA and the UK, we are right in front of an historic breach, that is putting reverse in the world's advance towards integration, and the prevalence of intolerance, hate and division putting a sudden rude stop to the movements of men and goods all over the world, these are scary moments but there's always hope that this is just a populist bubble and it will burst sooner or later, let's hope is sooner and without large consequences, México was signaled by surrealist André Bretón as the most surrealist country in the world, it seems that this time the whole world has immersed into the absurd and the surreal, Are we going to see in the future China defending democracy? After Trump, anything can happen.
