The death of the main anti-Soviet American strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski, who saw in global processes a global confrontation, a "great game" between the USSR and the British Empire, coincided with the historic divorce between Europe and America. Angela Merkel, after unsuccessful negotiations with Donald Trump, admitted that in the global world, a moment has come when the EU can and should rely only on itself in the fight against Russia's aggression, global warming and collective security on the continent. Although Trump has not publicly renounced the US's international obligations to Europe, his reluctance to confirm them in public speeches is an important geopolitical signal, Marketologist, Master of Entrepreneurship in Social and Solidary Economics of the University of Lyon, on the NG portal, Andrei Fedotov.

Today there is a historical event, which will necessarily be cited by many politicians, historians, analysts of political processes in the future. The European Union remains the only center of liberal, democratic thought, while the US is slipping into isolationism, and China, Russia, and Turkey are trying to subordinate the global economy to national governments.

The election of Emmanuel Macron in France was a trump card for Angela Merkel, who found a good ally in the new French government, which you can rely on without fear. Today, the political elite of Germany and France faces a serious challenge: to offer a new vision of the development of Europe that will strengthen the union, give its members reasons to continue to hold on to their membership and promote European values ??in national politics.

"First America" ??- instead of strengthening the economic basis of the United States, it became a slogan for its rejection of global leadership. Unwillingness to solve world problems and be a part of everything that happens on world markets is a new reality, decentralization of the world scale. What trends can this lead to:.

Destruction of the Russia-NATO tension line. The curtailment of the policy, which several decades ago was a key element of Zbigniew Brzezinski's strategy, is knocking out from the hands of the Russians the main map of the global enemy, which is almost "at the gate".

Strengthening of France, which against the backdrop of American leadership and the policy of "following" in the EU in recent years has been closed exclusively on domestic issues. Today Emmanuel Macron becomes one of the key world politicians, from whose decisions world security, economic stability and unity of European countries will depend.

New Economic Doctrine "Made in China". The Chinese are already actively building themselves a logistic web that should form the basis of their economic leadership. I think all of us will very soon feel significant changes in global trade, which will be a symbol of weak America and strong China.

Although, of course, the map of the United States of America has not yet been played to the end. Donald Trump may well decide to keep the agreements on global warming and confirm the US readiness to implement Article 5 of the NATO agreement, or within a few months the political storm may end with the impeachment of the president, which will lead to the presidency of Mike Pens, a conservative Republican who will unfold the emerging trends by 180 degrees.

Anyway, President Trump's first trip abroad only strengthened the feeling that the global peace that we knew will soon be in for serious upheavals for which it is not necessary to start the Third World War. It may well be that Trump's policy will allow "letting off steam" from authoritarian leaders like Putin and Erdogan to remind humanity once again that the main evolution is not on the battlefields but with the help of scientific progress and new economic models of doing business.
