Is the "collective West“ drifting apart?

[PurpleTree]

So it seems that the US and Israel often don’t work for the interests of Europe for example.

For Europe the refugees from the wars in middle east are destabilising society.

And for Europe it would have been in its interest probably to have good relations with Iran.

And so on.

Recently for example few European countries voted to accept Palestine as a state. Spain, Ireland, Norway etc.

And then all the Trump Tariffs on Europe and Canada etc.

The US attacked the ICC and Francesca Albanese and just pulled out of UNESCO because of Isrsel mostly.

Europe has bad leadership unfortunately with the German Von Der Leyen etc. And Germans with their Holocaust guilt are horrible leaders.

It‘s weak.

Still the US has the strongest army by far and great tech and economy.

I mean of course for Russia and China this would be good news. 

We‘ll see.

We're in a phase of drifting towards authoritarianism in my opinion, which specifically means the erosion of checks and balances of power. This is due to a loss of trust in institutions, which is due to what I believe to be exhaustion with Stage Orange broadly. Economic exclusion and soulless technocracy is driving a wedge between populations and the institutions which comprise the unity of the West generally speaking. Trump and Putin are both expressions of such authoritarianism, where the perception is that might makes right, over for example due processes, like an election.

Trumps isolationism is having global ramification for the state of Western society because the US is so integral to previous status quo. As European and East-Asian countries relied heavily on the US, they have to become more independent to adapt. In 20-30 years, I bet you'll see a western block that has it more together and is less heavily reliant on the US if there is not too much authoritarian slip-up. Brexit for example was a disaster for the UK. It was a huge set back for them politically.
