Brett Stevens has given his take on the Ukraine War, being a critic of modernity, both in the NATO Western form, and the illiberal Russian one. Both entities are versions of the New World Order, the main difference being that the West embraces wokeness, while the Russian Asiatic version, merging with the Chinese empire, keeps to traditionalism on the cultural plane. But both the West and the East are now Leftist in their fundamental foundation: “The militant left has seized control of the federal government, the news media, big tech, academia, Hollywood, the Democratic Party, most corporate boardrooms and even some of our top military leaders. The elites atop our nation’s institutions are working hard to redefine America and silence their opponents. They want to end the American experiment and replace it with a woke socialist utopia, and we are sitting around watching it happen.”
Both sides will advance tyranny in the world, but with different degrees of emphasis, and both paradigms are heading towards imminent collapse, he argues.
