What Will the Future Look Like in the ‘New World Order?’

JOHN MEARSHEIMER

Donald Trump believes that U.S. economic and military might are all he needs to become a benign dictator and achieve unilateral control over America’s allies — what will the effects of this policy be?

John Mearsheimer, the renowned scholar, author and R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to contextualize what Trump’s political missions mean through the lens of history.

“Things like soft power, things like international institutions, international law, allies, they’re just not important to [Trump],” Mearsheimer says. “[Trump] thinks that U.S. economic might and U.S. military might are all he needs to basically be a benign dictator and act unilaterally and get what he wants around the world.”

With this thinking, there are real threats to the world order, Mearsheimer argues, especially Europe and East Asia. In Europe, Trump’s disregard for international law and alliances, such as NATO, alarms a leadership class that has always relied on American security guarantees. In East Asia, China’s dominance and lack of adherence to the Western imperial status quo may become a flashpoint similar to that in Europe before World War I.

“For the first time in our history, we face a serious problem in East Asia. Imperial Japan was not that big a problem… China is a completely different story. This is a formidable power. Really, we’ve never seen anything like this when you look at the key building blocks of military power, the size of the population, the wealth, the ability to develop sophisticated technologies better than we do.”

OFF SHORE OIL DRILLING IN SAN DIEGO?

RICHARD CHARTER

Call us with questions or comments at 619-790-KNSJ (5675)

Richard Charter spent much of his early childhood growing up among the tidepools of the Northern California coast. He currently directs the Local Government OCS Coordination Program, a project of the County of Santa Cruz, continuing four decades of professional dedication to protecting fragile marine ecosystems. Richard engaged with four Administrations in Washington and multiple Members of Congress to maintain the bipartisan 27-year annual renewal of the offshore drilling moratorium that long protected the U.S. Atlantic and Pacific coasts as well as Florida’s Gulf Coast and Panhandle from expanded offshore oil and gas leasing.

Richard coordinated the local government support leading to the designation of California’s Greater Farallones, Cordell Bank, Channel Islands, and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries and helped secure a declaration of permanent protection from offshore drilling for Alaska’s fishery-rich Bristol Bay in 2015.

Richard is currently working to coordinate local government and public responses to the current Trump Five-Year Offshore Drilling Plan, to protect California’s Marine Sanctuaries, and to address the emerging global threat posed by seabed mining. He is co-producer of the award-winning documentary film on seabed mining, “Defend the Deep”, which can be viewed online at http://TheDeepMovie.org

For those wishing to participate in the current campaign to protect the California Coast from offshore drilling, his project’s website is http://SaveMyCoast.org
