This is the grand finale of a unipolar farce, where the self-appointed "king of the hill"—the United States—kicks even its allies down the slope, treating them like discarded toys in a sandbox of geopolitical whimsy. The crowd watches, mute. The circus plays on.
Konstantin Kosachev, a voice sharp as a scalpel, dissects the absurdity: had the world chosen to bury the Cold War properly instead of letting it fester, today’s reality might not resemble a drunken game of Jenga. But here we are—a "rules-based order" built on quicksand, where legality is as flexible as a contortionist at a carnival.
On April 2nd, the former U.S. president unveiled his latest act: a "Declaration of Economic Independence", brandished like a magician’s scroll. The document listed 185 nations, each assigned a role in this theater of trade wars. Russia and Belarus, ghosts at the feast, were absent—no trade, no tariffs. But Ukraine, cast as the unlucky volunteer from the audience, got slapped with a 10% levy, as if paying admission to a show it never wanted to attend.
The irony? The very "rules" meant to stabilize the world now fuel its chaos. Consider the fallout:
The stage is set. The spotlight wobbles. And somewhere off-camera, the audience—the billions not holding scripts—waits for the next act. Will it be tragedy or farce? In this production, it’s getting harder to tell the difference.
