Everything is in flux right now because we are in a 4th turning. Not just that, we are in winter according to the Spengler cycle which makes things particularly dangerous.
The 4th turning most likely hasn't climaxed, and won't be over until around 2030. After that we can think about how many poles there are, it will most likely be very clear by then. And perhaps modernity will end this cycle and we are heading to a new age. Douglas Murray suggested the name "Age of Reconstruction", but I guess it's too early to call it.
Hope you will do content on Spengler, his prophecies seem to be pretty spot on so far. Which is frightening.
I do not know the other text. I read Dugins Text and I agree in general. I think that split is real. Trump turns america not isolationist but more egoist. The EU goes crazy and desparate in their "look at us, we are still relevant" phase and israel in a certain sense becomes a more and more aggressive (not only in the sense of violence which israel also does, but also in the field of asserting ones will) pole which basically says "we are willing and capable to supplant and succeed dying parts of the western alliance". Especially the EU which seems to by dying anyway, and which turns more and more into a laughing stock. And maybe, Israel even prepares for cases like a new US civil war and a split up of the US. Israel were always geopolitical egoists who basically lived a dual identity of "we are part of the west and defend the west against barbarism" on the one hand, and "we are a totally unique civilisation unlike the other parts of the west and we have a right to assert and defend our own civilisational values".
I think this also drives a certain conflict between the EU (and Soros Networks) on the one hand and Israel on the other. Many parts of the EU think israel needs to be educated into following western standards and scolded if they break these standards. Israel on this other hand hates these lectures from EU personell. I also think Israel thinks of the EU basically as an extension of germany and for obvious historical reasons, they do not want to be morally lectured by a geopolitical alliance dominated by germany. And this is VERY understandable.
The other thing is, I have the impression that many political zionists consider thhemselves to be a kind of moral vanguard of the west and that they feel that europe basically got to a higher level of civilisation due to jewish influence and christianity. I think the overemphasis of the term "Judeo Christian Values" is also a bit of flattery towards them, despite historic inaccuracies. (For example, Europe has a history of mistreating the jews. This fact contradicts the idea that the jews were leading in determining europes moral values.)
I think because of that, there were always tensions between Israel and Europe. But I think 2008, the Ukraine tensions and the refugee crisis of europe basically accelerated the break between Israel and the EU.
On topic of the US and the EU: I think the EU might have had the potential to become a competitor to the US in the end of the 90s but they made tons of mistakes (like for example not enough alignment with russia. Maybe the stopping of the german Transrapid Rail Project (a maglev train with a few similarities to Elon Musks Hyperloop which was pushed by germany around the time of the world fair 2000 and then abandoned due to pressure by the green party) might have been another failure of EU geopolitics. ) And already since George Bush jr. , the US prepared to drive a wedge between EU member states and basically split the visegrad group from western europe, because Visegrad is far more supportive of the US than western europe.
Gerhard Schroeder used the opposition towards the war in Iraq to switch to an eurasia strategy (the leaked Stratfor dossiers at the beginning of the 2010s stated that the US definitely feared that) but the US and Obama basically used Merkel to force a slow realignment. And Obama was basically used as a kind of Media campaign to spread Pro American sentiment again, but the EU is very soros aligned (the media as well) and they pushed the narrative of Trump being "the great Satan".) This basically accelerated the breach between both poles again. But now under woke ideas. And after Brexit and multiple repeated almost successes of Le Pens Ressembelemt National, the EU has a huge legitimacy crisis which makes them act more and more crisis. (I think this legitimacy crisis is also one reason for the Ukraine support. As the Ukrainian elites are by far the most pro EU elites in the whole block.)
In my view, the observable trend today is segmentation: Russia has become economically separated from the West and is attempting to limit the presence of US tech platforms; China have developed independent tech infrastructure and seeking to reduce reliance on the US dollar; Iran have cut itself off from the global internet; and a technological divide between the EU and the US.
It remains unclear what the resulting configuration will be: who will survive this turmoil, who will prevail, and who will be subordinated but it is already clear that the narrative of globalism has come to an end on a global scale; nobody aspires global governance any longer.
