EUA

Eu assistiria se não fosse tão tarde aqui, duas da madrugada.

Está ficando cada vez mais claro que estamos diante de uma mudança sísmica no relacionamento dos EUA com o mundo, entre:

1) Os EUA desmantelando seus aparelhos de interferência estrangeira (como a USAID )

2) Marco Rubio afirmando que estamos agora num mundo multipolar com "multi-grandes potências em diferentes partes do planeta" ( https://state.gov/secretary-marco-rubio ... elly-show/ ) e que "a ordem global do pós-guerra não está apenas obsoleta; é agora uma arma que está a ser usada contra nós" ( https://foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/do ... timony.pdf )

3) As tarifas sobre supostos “aliados” como o México, o Canadá ou a UE

Isso é os EUA efetivamente dizendo "nossa tentativa de dominar o mundo acabou, cada um com o seu gosto, agora somos apenas mais uma grande potência, não a 'nação indispensável'".

Parece "idiota" (como o WSJ acabou de escrever) se você ainda estiver mentalmente no velho paradigma, mas é sempre um erro pensar que o que os EUA (ou qualquer país) faz é idiota.

A hegemonia acabaria mais cedo ou mais tarde, e agora os EUA estão basicamente escolhendo acabar com ela em seus próprios termos. É a ordem mundial pós-americana - trazida a vocês pela própria América.

Mesmo as tarifas sobre aliados, vistas por esse ângulo, fazem sentido, pois redefinem o conceito de "aliados": eles não querem mais - ou talvez não possam pagar - vassalos, mas sim relacionamentos que evoluem com base nos interesses atuais.

Você pode ver isso como um declínio — porque, sem dúvida, parece o fim do império americano — ou como uma forma de evitar um declínio maior: uma retirada controlada dos compromissos imperiais para concentrar recursos nos principais interesses nacionais, em vez de ser forçado a uma retirada ainda mais confusa em um estágio posterior.

Em todo caso, é o fim de uma era e, embora o governo Trump pareça um caos para muitos observadores, eles provavelmente estão muito mais sintonizados com as realidades mutáveis do mundo e com a situação de seu próprio país do que seus antecessores. Reconhecer a existência de um mundo multipolar e escolher operar dentro dele em vez de tentar manter uma hegemonia global cada vez mais custosa não poderia ser adiado por muito mais tempo. Parece confuso, mas provavelmente é melhor do que manter a ficção da primazia americana até que ela eventualmente entre em colapso sob seu próprio peso.

Isso não quer dizer que os EUA não continuarão a causar estragos no mundo, e de fato podemos estar vendo-os se tornarem ainda mais agressivos do que antes. Porque quando antes estavam (mal, e muito hipocritamente) tentando manter alguma aparência de autoproclamada "ordem baseada em regras", agora nem precisam fingir que estão sob qualquer restrição, nem mesmo a restrição de jogar bem com aliados. É o fim do império dos EUA, mas definitivamente não é o fim dos EUA como uma grande força disruptiva nos assuntos mundiais.

No geral, essa transformação pode marcar uma das mudanças mais significativas nas relações internacionais desde a queda da União Soviética. E os mais despreparados para isso, como já é dolorosamente óbvio, são os vassalos da América pegos completamente desprevenidos pela percepção de que o patrono em que confiaram por décadas agora os está tratando como apenas mais um conjunto de países com quem negociar.



Meu entendimento desse novo momento geopolítico depois de muito ler hoje:

Os Estados Unidos não estão “perdendo poder”, estão apenas trocando de tática.

ESTÃO ADMITINDO QUE ORQUESTRAR O MUNDO É PURA UTOPIA.

Para tanto, back to basics.

O tempo da hegemonia benevolente acabou. Agora, vale o jogo bruto e objetivo.

TRÊS MOVIMENTOS:

1. Adeus, fachada humanitária – ONGs e agências de “cooperação” foram pro saco.

Quem manda agora é o dinheiro e o músculo militar.

2. O mundo não tem mais dono – A ordem global morreu, e Washington finalmente percebeu que precisa dividir o tabuleiro com China, Rússia e quem mais tiver bala na agulha.

Os EUA entenderam que não são donos do mundo, cada cachorro que lamba sua caceta.

3. Chicote nos aliados de ontem – Tarifas no México, Europa e Canadá? Sem dó. Ser “parceiro” dos EUA virou um título sem nenhum privilégio.

RETIRADA PARA AVANÇAR

O tal “império” não quer mais gastar para manter aparências.

Se o mundo não se ajoelha mais, a América troca o abraço falso pelo soco direto.

Vem aí uma versão mais perigosa, imprevisível e sem paciência para hipocrisia.

Eu não estou dizendo se concordo ou não, estou expondo meu entendimento.

A nova regra?

Quem não for útil,

que se vire.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover
Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

Elon Musk’s takeover of federal government infrastructure is ongoing, and at the center of things is a coterie of engineers who are barely out of—and in at least one case, purportedly still in—college. Most have connections to Musk, and at least two have connections to Musk’s longtime associate Peter Thiel, a cofounder and chair of the analytics firm and government contractor Palantir who has long expressed opposition to democracy.

WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project, tasked by executive order with “modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.” The engineers all hold nebulous job titles within DOGE, and at least one appears to be working as a volunteer.

The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. None have responded to requests for comment from WIRED. Representatives from OPM, GSA, and DOGE did not respond to requests for comment.

The six men are one part of the broader project of Musk allies assuming key government positions. Already, Musk’s lackeys—including more senior staff from xAI, Tesla, and the Boring Company—have taken control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and General Services Administration (GSA), and have gained access to the Treasury Department’s payment system, potentially allowing him access to a vast range of sensitive information about tens of millions of citizens, businesses, and more. On Sunday, CNN reported that DOGE personnel attempted to improperly access classified information and security systems at the US Agency for International Development and that top USAID security officials who thwarted the attempt were subsequently put on leave. The Associated Press reported that DOGE personnel had indeed accessed classified material.

“What we're seeing is unprecedented in that you have these actors who are not really public officials gaining access to the most sensitive data in government,” says Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan. “We really have very little eyes on what's going on. Congress has no ability to really intervene and monitor what's happening because these aren't really accountable public officials. So this feels like a hostile takeover of the machinery of governments by the richest man in the world.”

Bobba has attended UC Berkeley, where he was in the prestigious Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology program. According to a copy of his now-deleted LinkedIn obtained by WIRED, Bobba was an investment engineering intern at the Bridgewater Associates hedge fund as of last spring and was previously an intern at both Meta and Palantir. He was a featured guest on a since-deleted podcast with Aman Manazir, an engineer who interviews engineers about how they landed their dream jobs, where he talked about those experiences last June.

Coristine, as WIRED previously reported, appears to have recently graduated from high school and to have been enrolled at Northeastern University. According to a copy of his résumé obtained by WIRED, he spent three months at Neuralink, Musk’s brain-computer interface company, last summer.

Both Bobba and Coristine are listed in internal OPM records reviewed by WIRED as “experts” at OPM, reporting directly to Amanda Scales, its new chief of staff. Scales previously worked on talent for xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence company, and as part of Uber’s talent acquisition team, per LinkedIn. Employees at GSA tell WIRED that Coristine has appeared on calls where workers were made to go over code they had written and justify their jobs. WIRED previously reported that Coristine was added to a call with GSA staff members using a nongovernment Gmail address. Employees were not given an explanation as to who he was or why he was on the calls.

Farritor, who per sources has a working GSA email address, is a former intern at SpaceX, Musk’s space company, and currently a Thiel Fellow after, according to his LinkedIn, dropping out of the University of Nebraska—Lincoln. While in school, he was part of an award-winning team that deciphered portions of an ancient Greek scroll.

Kliger, whose LinkedIn lists him as a special adviser to the director of OPM and who is listed in internal records reviewed by WIRED as a special adviser to the director for information technology, attended UC Berkeley until 2020; most recently, according to his LinkedIn, he worked for the AI company Databricks. His Substack includes a post titled “The Curious Case of Matt Gaetz: How the Deep State Destroys Its Enemies,” as well as another titled “Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense: The Warrior Washington Fears.”

Killian, also known as Cole Killian, has a working email associated with DOGE, where he is currently listed as a volunteer, according to internal records reviewed by WIRED. According to a copy of his now-deleted résumé obtained by WIRED, he attended McGill University through at least 2021 and graduated high school in 2019. An archived copy of his now-deleted personal website indicates that he worked as an engineer at Jump Trading, which specializes in algorithmic and high-frequency financial trades.

Shaotran told Business Insider in September that he was a senior at Harvard studying computer science and also the founder of an OpenAI-backed startup, Energize AI. Shaotran was the runner-up in a hackathon held by xAI, Musk’s AI company. In the Business Insider article, Shaotran says he received a $100,000 grant from OpenAI to build his scheduling assistant, Spark.

Sabes o que é COPE, não?

Pois ele tá a treinar isto desde exactamente o dia do meu 59° aniversário, 23/02/2022.

Experiência em NEGACIONISME* não lhe falta, portanto; no que começarem as tarifas à URSSE (não entendo ainda se serão uniformes ou caso a caso entre os integrantes, ou ainda uma mistura disto) podes contar com artigos (e as inefáveis tabelinhas, claro) do MINIVER "provando" que nesta o coitado do Zé se lascou, eis que a UE bate na Rússia com uma das mãos, na América com a outra e ainda tem as pernas para dar uns chutos na bunda da China!

(*) - Não deixa de ser divertido retribuir aos muitES que me atribuíam esta "qualidade" apenas por optar pelo BOM SENSO (pensar com a própria cabeça) do que com o modernoso SENSO COMUM (mentalidade de rebanho).

Mas não tinha lembrado ainda do nosso véio WOKEHEAD...

Like it or not, the rules-based order is no more
In Trump’s world, it does little good to use the language of treaties or rules or laws. For Denmark and others to get their way, they’ll have to speak the language of power.

From Across the Pond

February 5, 2025
By Ivo Daalder

Ivo Daalder, former U.S. ambassador to NATO, is CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and host of the weekly podcast “World Review with Ivo Daalder.” He writes POLITICO’s Across the Pond column.

A few weeks ago, when Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen spoke with soon-to-be U.S. President Donald Trump about his insistence on making Greenland part of America, the phone call didn’t go well.

She understood America’s defense concerns, but Greenland wasn’t for sale, she said. Trump was having none of it.

The call between these two equally obdurate leaders not only revealed a clash of interests but a clash of realities: Frederiksen’s reality is the rules-based order, a world where nations are expected to abide by treaties, rules and norms. Whereas Trump’s reality is the world of power politics, where the strong do as they will and the weak — even allied nations — do as they must.

Until that phone call, most had dismissed Trump’s musings about Greenland (and the Panama Canal) as bluster and tough talk meant to set the stage for negotiations. No one took the idea of the U.S. seizing the territory of an ally by force seriously.

But that was a big mistake. This time around, Trump is serious, and he’s no longer surrounded by his former aides whose job it was to steer him away from crazy ideas. Rather, his current cadre is a team of loyalists, who see it as their job to implement whatever their leader wants — and what he wants is Greenland.

“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World,” Trump wrote last December, “the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.” And unlike his first term, he’ll stop at nothing to get it. “I’m not going to commit to that,” he said when asked if he’d rule out using force. “We need Greenland for national security purposes.”

His new aides have gotten the message too. “This is not a joke,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said last week. “This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. This is in our national interest.”

Even John Bolton, Trump’s former national security advisor who worked to deflect the president when he first raised the idea of buying Greenland in 2019, now agrees. Pointing to China’s interest in becoming an Arctic power and the Northwest passage becoming a viable shipping route because of climate change, “Greenland is intimately connected with our security,” he told the Free Press. “So given Greenland’s geographic proximity to the United States, it’s obviously a strategic interest.”

The Danish government doesn’t disagree. Frederiksen acknowledged that the U.S. has a “big interest” in Greenland and offered “a very, very close cooperation with the U.S.” The country then announced a major increase in defense spending to protect Western interest on the island, and was open to discussing other ways of cooperation to promote joint security.

The Danish government has essentially approached the issue from the perspective of a staunch American ally — one that has significantly increased defense spending, lost more troops per capita in Afghanistan than any other country, and contributed more to Ukraine’s defense as a percentage of GDP than all but one other country.

It’s an approach that assumes countries, especially allies, play by agreed rules and standards, abide by existing treaties and are friendly. In this view, borders are inviolable and can’t be changed by force, and disagreements are settled through diplomacy.

But while this may be Denmark’s version of reality, it certainly isn’t Trump’s.

Trump doesn’t see laws, rules and norms as constraints on behavior. This is a man who has spent most of his life battling people in court, and he sees life as a zero-sum game of winners and losers. He’s a former president who refused to accept he lost a free and fair election, and called every effort to bring him to account a “witch hunt.”

Today, he is a president who signed a plethora of executive orders in his first two weeks, intending to upend not just existing laws and regulations but core constitutional principles — principles like Congress’s power of the purse, the president’s obligation to faithfully execute laws and even the traditional basis of U.S. citizenship.

In Trump’s world, treaties and norms are simply irrelevant. He’ll break trade agreements to impose tariffs on neighboring states, take back a canal in Panama that was built and formerly operated by the U.S., and likely ignore security commitments enshrined in treaties for 75 years or more. He’ll also make sure the U.S. gets Greenland.

The only language Trump understands is that of power. It does little good to use the language of rules or laws in his world. And for Denmark or others to get their way, they’ll have to speak the language of power.

The return of power politics thus requires Denmark and other European allies to reduce their reliance on the U.S. and increase the cost of unacceptable behavior. Greenland may be hard to defend if Trump is willing to use military force, but deploying troops and bringing in allies would force the White House to think twice. The same is true in response to tariffs and other trade measures the U.S. president has threatened too.

Like it or not, with Trump in office, the rules-based order is no more.

Bem real esse texto, o Brasil que desde a redemocratização só teve presidente fracos, hoje é um bobalhão entre os países, aquele cara grandão que apanha de caras com metade do seu tamanho, não impomos respeito em ninguém e ninguém nos respeita.
Ainda mais agora que a força cada vez mais será necessária para se fazer ouvir, no entanto temos políticos no governo que fazem bonézinho com frase da ditadura , não podemos esperar muita coisa.
