Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson: This Could Break NATO: Trump, Rutte, and Europe’s Last Stand
Published 1 month ago
Description
At Davos 2026, analysts dissect how U.S. geopolitical moves—like targeting Greenland and pushing a “rules-based order”—mask a deeper economic agenda: preserving dollar hegemony and blocking Eurasian integration. Trump’s “peace” rhetoric is seen as a pretext for military-economic control, while Europe grapples with subordination or resistance. The real global shift lies in the rise of China’s state-capitalist model, outpacing Western economies in key sectors like EVs. Meanwhile, grassroots movements—from Minneapolis to France—signal growing domestic unrest and rejection of neoliberal orthodoxy. The discussion underscores a tectonic realignment: anti-colonial sentiment, labor revolts, and the failure of U.S.-led unipolarity.
