In One Year the World has Changed

Introduction

In my previous articles in October 2024, Trump Win: Goodbye USA and Polarised World Order, in June 2025 An Uncertain World and in November 2025 Europeans, Ukraine Dilemma , I considered what the world would look like if a new USA Administration lead by Donald Trump were to be elected. Today when I read the following; “Trump lays bare his contempt for Europe in a blistering new “USA National Security Strategy” (NSS) document, I’m afraid that in general my articles reflect how in the past One Year the World has Changed.

USA Administration Domination

In the past Year and recently in particular, the new USA Administration and its leader, have dominated the world activities and the world order in a huge way, that is destabilizing the world functions over the past 80 years. This includes the USA itself and many major Countries, throughout the world. It appears that the USA is using its Financial and Military Muscle to Coerce Countries throughout the world to follow their demands or face retribution. This includes its close allies in Europe and around the world as well as the USA’s adversaries. No matter what world media outlets you look at they all refer to the USA Administration domination and its effects, every minute of every day.

Interfering Europe not Welcomed by the USA

The USA Administration have adopted a policy based upon the new National Security Strategy (NSS) which is based upon the USA’ Presidents Monro, ‘Monro Doctrine’ in 1823. It was primarily aimed at European Colonialism, Interference and Influence in the Americas in particular those South of the USA Border. It also gave the USA the right to intervene in those South of the Border Countries to reinforce the USA preeminence in the Western Hemisphere. Perhaps this explains the military build up, threatening Venezuela, who has a Dictatorial President that the USA dislikes.

USA Administration Disdain for Europeans

Why is the USA Administration’s Disdain (the feeling that someone or something is unworthy of one’s consideration or respect) for Europe? This Disdain is coming from the very top of the USA Administration and its NSS in a manner that Europe is being overrun by Non-European, Non-Whites, caused by immigration and because of this Europe faces quote: “civilization erasure.” There are many other criticisms by the USA of Europe that demeans the Europeans. At the same time there is no criticism of Russia by the USA Administration, who are trying to destabilise Europe and Ukraine. The Europeans form a major part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) which is also experiencing some strained relations with its major contributor, the USA.

Ukraine War has Solidified Europe

The majority of the major European Countries have come together since the Ukraine War started but especially in the last few months due to the Attitude and Actions by the USA Administration. As the Europeans are a major contributor of support for Ukraine, the recent ‘Ukraine, Russia Peace Talks’ have highlighted differences between the USA Administration and European Countries. First of all the USA Administration and Russia created a 28 point so called Peace Plan without consulting Ukraine and Europe. However, the Europeans backing Ukraine demanded that they were involved in reviewing the Peace Plan as it appeared to give Russia everything they demanded. This did not go down well with the USA Administration or Russia, who accused the Europeans of Interference in the USA Peace process. However, this did bring some unity within the ‘European NATO Block’ who recognised the Ukraine positive outcome was important to Europe as a whole. My views of the Ukraine War and the USA Administrations approach is highlighted in my article: ‘Europeans, Ukraine Dilemma’ dated November 2025.

Is Europe becoming Non-European?

One of the new USA’s NSS points is their somewhat over zealous claim that in about 20 years some European Countries in NATO populations will become Non-European. This mainly relates to European Immigration most of which are Islamic. It is suggested that those Countries will not support the ideals of the USA and NATO. First of all the average Islamic actual population in Europe is only 6% the same as the United Kingdom, however the public thinks its much higher which is due to the Islamic communities ‘Imposing’ their way of life on the 94% of the Non-Muslim population. Refer to my recent article: Great Britain and Islamic Fears November 2025. Secondly there are 3 NATO Countries with mainly Islamic populations, North Macedonia 30/50%, Albania 50/70% and Turkiye 90/95% the 2nd biggest Military Power in NATO. Therefore, this USA Administration claim that the majority of NATO European Countries will become Non-European and therefore will not support USA and NATO ideals appears to be unfounded.

USA Peace Plan is also a USA Commercial Plan

Ukraines top General Oleksandr Syrskyi said a “Just Peace” can only be achieved if fighting is halted along current front lines and then for negotiations to take place”. He also indicated that Ukraine will not give Russia Territory and its People which are still under Ukraines control. All parties want Peace but it must be a ‘Just Peace’ starting with a Cease Fire at current front line positions. Russia has stated NO CEASE FIRE and WE WILL TAKE TERRITORY BY FORCE if not given by Ukraine. Therefore with the amended USA Peace Plan, there is no possibility of an Agreement at present unless Russia is willing to compromise on some points for ending the War. The USA Administration want Peace in Ukraine as a matter of urgency, like the Europeans and Ukraine. However the USA see big Commercial Advantages with Russia and the invitation to re join the G7 Nations as part of a Post War USA Commercial Plan. This USA Commercial Plan appears to be driving the overall Peace Plan, which may not be in Ukraines or Europe’s best interest.

USA Far East Alliances in Preference to Europeans

As part of the USA NSS it is focusing on the Far East Alliances, such as India, Japan, South Korea, Philippines and Australia, whilst communicating with China regarding the South China Sea, Taiwan and USA China trade relationships. At the same time as we have discussed, a waning USA interest in European Alliances and the commitment to NATO, where USA military forces may be withdrawn and redeployed toward the USA and maybe the Far East.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that President Trump and his USA Administration have changed the world order over the past one year and it is likely to continue for at least another three years. I think that this is a wake up call to the whole world and especially Europe that the USA changing its priorities to benefit the USA in a ‘USA First’ policy, in all of its future activities. How this will manifest itself in the coming months and years only time and circumstances will tell. Its time for Europe which the USA says its a non-entity to assert itself in the world as a World Power without the USA.
