Michael Hudson: The US Plan to Divide the World | Russia, China & Europe's Decline

Economist Michael Hudson examines the emerging global struggle between the United States, Russia, and China as the world's major powers seek to reshape the international order through competing spheres of influence. Is a modern version of the Yalta Conference taking shape, with global superpowers negotiating a new geopolitical balance? This analysis explores how American foreign policy could reshape Europe's economic future, deepen its dependence on the United States, and accelerate the decline of European industrial power. As Russia and China strengthen their economic relationships outside the West, Europe faces growing challenges to its industrial competitiveness, strategic autonomy, and position in the global economy. Discover the key geopolitical and economic issues discussed in this analysis: 🌍 A New Yalta Agreement? — How the United States, Russia, and China could reshape the global balance of power through competing spheres of influence. 🇺🇸 American Hegemony — Washington's strategic interests in Europe, Japan, and the Middle East, and the implications for its allies. 🇪🇺 Europe's Economic Decline — How geopolitical tensions, energy costs, industrial competition, and economic dependency could affect European prosperity and manufacturing. 🇷🇺 Russia's Strategic Pivot — Why Russia is strengthening economic relationships beyond European markets and how this affects Europe's geopolitical position. 🇨🇳 China and the Multipolar World — China's expanding global role and the transformation of international economic relationships. ⚖️ The Decline of Western Hegemony — Whether the traditional US-led international order is giving way to a more multipolar world. 🔥 Political Backlash in Europe — How economic pressures, public dissatisfaction, and foreign policy decisions could reshape European politics. Michael Hudson's perspective offers a critical examination of the relationship between geopolitics, international finance, industrial policy, and global economic power. The discussion raises fundamental questions about European sovereignty, the future of the transatlantic alliance, and the changing balance of power between the world's major economies. Will Europe remain dependent on American strategic and economic interests, or will the emerging multipolar world create new opportunities for European independence?
