Middles For The End

The Herald of the Emperor of the West calls his banners!

Several days after the previous timely post on the Princes and Emperors of the World, the GOD-EMPEROR TRUMP is leaving no room for misinterpretation, having despatched his trusted aide - and pinnacle exemplar of American robotics and artificial super-intelligence Marco Rubio - to proclaim an unapologetic pursuit of (national) power for his mostly-Western Team Bleue subjects partners. Once more mirroring his coeval Hóngdì of the East Xi out of genuine regard, the Holy Caesar's message sought too a Great Rejuvenation of Western civilization and awakening towards a new Golden Dawn, including explicit praise for past hegemons such as Alexander, Julius and Charl The Man.

On his hosts, appreciation for founding (Athenian) democratic principles and values was fittingly given, which would firstly involve restricting the electorate to adult Real Men™ of adequate testosterone (to the approval of the Secretary of the God of War), and the restoration of serfdom amongst other cultural revivals. It could also be remembered that democratic Athens might be considered a progenitor of the "might makes right" doctrine, from the Melian Dialogue in which they informed their fellow Greek victims that they needed their city-state for their own ends, and so they could either submit or die. This by the way closely relates to the Thucydides Trap repeatedly brought up by President Xi, who likely knows what's up too.

One can at least appreciate the Athenians for not attempting to add insult to injury by hallucinating bullshit justifications towards morality (unlike near-contemporary Europeans), a virtue also amply demonstrated by Herald Rubio, who openly urged the embrace of that earlier ethos of exploration (then) dominance and conquest, to "maintain their place at the head of the world". This is no less than what one would expect of a True Emperor, and as the cycle begins anew, it may be interesting to watch who prevails this age: the GOD-EMPEROR of the West, in charisma and strategy unmatched? Hóngdì of the East, latest of that inscrutable line of Chinese dynasts? The Tsar of the North, already reconstituting the Rodina? Possibly a Maharaja of the South, whose numbers are flourishing anew? Or some other aberration of mortal due, to write a fresh legend?

One must say that the European Parliament already erecting a statue of TRUMP - that explicitly references him as King and Emperor, what more in a fusion of Rubens and Michelangelo - may be a little fawning, but I guess it's never too early to get a headstart on the avant-garde flattery. Thankfully, the Euros have, as with Iran, modestly concealed the GOD-EMPEROR's considerable member (though with the Freudian unconscious reflected in the length of the pole that GEOTUS is wielding), which could otherwise have led to much discomfort and feelings of inadequacy for the diplomats prowling those halls; that could have some Excellencies engage in exotic exercises, import questionable pills or even arrange for risky cosmetic surgeries, all of which would not be clearly beneficial to the European Union's core missions. So, thank you too, Europe!

By the way, there were also numerous comments as to why the artist depicted TRUMP being carried by Gandhi of all people, but one supposes that old habits die hard for the Europeans...

But one reckons Europe could do with some levity given their current troubles, with France and Germany (or is the fixed phrase "Germany and France"?) apparently finally working up the courage to apply trade tools against Team Rouge leaders China (because reducing the trade deficit is suddenly critical now, what with the U.S. Imperial Tariffs redirecting exports as previously explained), which has had China of course threaten retaliation. Having also recognized Great America's energy squeeze "blackmail", some of the Europeans such as the French have been considering a "middle power approach" to counter the Great Powers, as recently proposed by the Canadian Prime Minister, but specifically warned against in no uncertain terms by the representative of the American God of War.

It most probably won't work, sadly for them.



Translation: The Prince went up against the Emperors; but in terms of long-term strategy, he had no answer to Xi and China's production plans. Then on military power, in front of the peerless GOD-EMPEROR TRUMP, he did not even dare to raise his hand - where then does all that hot air about challenging for leadership and victory come from?

For the more detailed explanation, we would need to return to the original Liberation Day Imperial Tariffs from May of last year, and while the analysis on this blog has not been much repeated in mainstream channels, one believes that the passage of time has shown it to be essentially true. To repeat, the tariff numbers did not matter, and GEOTUS TRUMP raising his edict with the European Union and China heading the list - before all the other nations - was simply an open challenge to the whole world. The question was: will you bend the knee, accept the unilateral tariffs, and in doing so support the existing international order?

And to expand on the setup, the GOD-EMPEROR TRUMP then graciously gave all other countries a full three months to consider their response (justified, given the average pace of European bureaucracy), instead of picking them off one at a time as he well could have (but which would have been beneath his status). If any or all of them wanted to rebel against Great America, this was clearly the time - middle powers, small powers, other so-called Great Powers - they were all free to scheme and plot and form coalitions against the Orange Plague for ninety long days, present a united front, and stand up against the Emperor of the West and say, you are not the Boss of us, we will not accede to your Imperial Tariffs, we deny you!

Well, as we soon found out, almost all of them bent the knee eventually. Xi did not (and underlined his credentials by gathering his own entourage some weeks after GOD-EMPEROR TRUMP had formally received his Princes of the West), and so the Emperor acknowledged him as a peer. Europe (and most others) did, so he helped them back to their feet following ancient tradition - but this relationship of course brings with it its own obligations, ones that thus far have not been honoured by those of the Old Continent - a serious breach of protocol!



Just an intermission before the discussion continues...
