The global geopolitical chessboard has rarely been this tense, and scenarios that seemed like fantasy yesterday are now nearly obvious. At the center of this global game are three players, each acting with cynical pragmatism: the US, China, and Russia. While Europe sinks into toothless consultations and expressions of “concern,” the big players are quietly making deals, shaping the world’s future on their own terms.
China: The Strategic Conductor
China no longer hides its intentions regarding Taiwan. However, Beijing doesn’t want a direct conflict with the US. Instead, it seeks to distract the West by creating an alternative crisis—ideally on the European continent. That’s why, according to the NATO Secretary General, China is preparing to “unleash” Moscow on Europe, using it as a tamed yet dangerous dog. Moscow gets the green light for aggression, but only when it suits Beijing.
From China’s perspective, Russia is simply a tool for destabilizing the West. While Europeans and Americans scramble to stop the Russian onslaught, China calmly moves forward with its “Taiwan question,” aiming for maximum gain with minimal risk.
Russia: Old Dreams of Revenge
Moscow sees a unique opportunity. The West, tired and relaxed, has lost both its will and its weaponry. Except for Ukraine, no European country is able to fight for itself, let alone mount a collective resistance. Russia makes a risky but long-desired move: a large-scale attack on Europe.
This could take the form of a blitzkrieg or a creeping hybrid aggression—the key point is that Europe is unprepared for war. NATO meets, consults, expresses deep concern, but nothing concrete happens beyond diplomatic notes and sanctions. The US, too, doesn’t want a direct confrontation with Russia in Europe—this would mean World War III and possibly nuclear exchange.
The US: A New “Manifest Destiny”—Canada and Greenland
Americans see the situation much more broadly and cynically. They’re not rushing to save Europe; that’s no longer their priority. The main threat isn’t Moscow, but Beijing. Instead of intervening in a European war, the US rapidly redeploys troops north—to Canada and Greenland. Under the pretext of protecting these territories from the Russian threat, Washington effectively takes control, realizing Trump’s old dream of acquiring Greenland and returning to “Manifest Destiny”—the classic American policy of northern expansion.
Thus, Canada and Greenland become new “safe zones” under American protection. To the world, it’s a defensive operation; in reality, it’s an annexation—a move to control resources, logistics, and the northern passage. The US isn’t playing someone else’s game—they’re creating their own, where the main goal is to maximize security and expand influence while others fight.
Europe: Doomed to Powerlessness?
The EU and NATO have been revealed as unprepared, not only for military challenges but also moral ones. Western Europe has lost its ability to resist; its armies are shrunk to a minimum, its nations are atomized, and its leaders are paralyzed by fear. The only country offering real resistance is Ukraine, whose army is already stronger than most NATO members.
Europe, in essence, has handed itself over to Moscow. All the consultations and “red lines” are merely theatrical covers for a deep crisis of will and leadership.
The Global Map: How It Looks
-
Russia attacks Europe, seizing “new space,” but quickly chokes on Ukrainian resistance—Ukraine becomes a European Israel.
-
The US takes over Canada and Greenland, formally “protecting” them from Russia but actually acquiring strategic strongholds and resources.
-
China takes Taiwan without risk—the West is too busy to intervene.
All three cynical powers get what they want, even if it means making certain compromises and cooperating behind the scenes.
Consequences for the World
-
End of the Old World: Europe ceases to be an independent player. A new era of spheres of influence begins—a new Cold War 2.0, but with only cold pragmatism, no ideology.
-
The US Closes the Atlantic and the Arctic: America controls both poles of the Northern Hemisphere, turning itself into an impregnable fortress.
-
China Becomes a Regional Hegemon: After Taiwan, comes the South China Sea, and then a new redistribution of the entire Asia-Pacific region.
-
Ukraine—The New “Bastion of the West”: By accident or not, Ukraine becomes the bulwark where Russian expansion drowns and Europe’s military will is reborn.
Conclusion
The main lesson of the new era: old alliances don’t work anymore. Europe, the US, Russia, and China have long been playing different games. While Europe hopes for “consultations” and “solidarity,” the three cynical powers rewrite the rules, redraw the map, and impose their own agenda. On the margins of this game stands Ukraine, which, despite everything, does not surrender and could become the decisive factor in the new world.
