Third pole
Whether from the secretions of reality depending on interests and alignments, or as a result of conflict between two or more parties, the Americans were able, after their success in the folds of the Cold War and its details and results in 1990, to impose themselves and those with them, whether they were allies or tools, by controlling them as one pole on the global political scene, taking advantage of what is available. They have gains, markets, privileges, and the imposition of the dollar currency as the most powerful global currency in circulation.
The emergence of China as a competing second economic power after the United States, Russia's recovery of part of its power, and their collision, individually or collectively, with American policies, and their rejection of American exclusivity and dominance, reinforced the emergence or gradual restoration of them as the second pole in the face of the United States and Britain, and those with them.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine strengthened the state of sorting and alignment, and almost marked the beginning of the next political scene, a return to the presence and politics of the two poles, and a gradual end to the hegemony of the American one pole.
The French President's statements following his visit to Beijing indicate the emergence of a European pole that lies between the two poles, and are almost tangible premises that express independent positions, and a desire to move away from American hegemony, without falling under Sino-Russian hegemony, i.e. not replacing the American-British pole with the Russian-Chinese pole. Rather, it is an independent policy that heralds the birth of a third pole led by France with Germany.
Germany has the capabilities to liberate itself from American hegemony as a result of World War II, which defeated Germany, or the outcome of the Cold War, which defeated Russia and its socialist camp in 1990.
Germany has a productive economic capacity that puts it in the position of the third economic country in the world after the United States and China, and it also occupies the first political position in Europe, but it does not have the military capacity that matches its economic superiority and its political position, and for this reason it allocated an amount of one hundred billion euros last year as a financial advance to build its national army And it is in the process of allocating another hundred billion this year and the next so that it will be prepared for the day of its liberation, or rather its independence and restoration of its sovereignty on 1/1/2025, with the end of the period of sanctions imposed on it since its defeat in World War II, and thus Germany will be the owner of its power: economic, political and military And then it will get rid of Washington's hegemony, and move towards its independent decisions, and remove the American bases from its lands.
Germany and France will constitute the third pole, and there is no doubt that strong countries will walk with them and towards them, and take refuge in them, in the face of the domination of a pole or the singularity of a pole, which creates a balanced outcome in the world, more than what prevails today, as what Washington did in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen And in other countries, this was done by an American decision, albeit with the desire, push, and incitement of the Israeli colony.
French President Emmanuel Macron's statements that "Europe should pursue a policy independent of the United States and China, and cease subordination to Washington" do not require clever extraction or diligence in guesswork, as he talks about the continent's "strategic independence" for Europe from the United States, and he says so. Combined with the development of the first gradual steps when it deals with steps to reduce Europe's dependence on American weapons, energy sources, the US dollar, or other steps of political, economic or military action, moving away from the issues of the collision of the two poles, and not taking sides with one against the other, as it is. The case is in Ukraine, Taiwan, or any other sharp, explosive headline.
The Arabs and Palestine will be the first to benefit and be the first to support, and had it not been for Saudi Arabia's early reading of these trends, it would not have responded to the Chinese initiative to restore Saudi-Iranian relations, and to work for the continuation of the cease-fire and the renewal of the armistice in Yemen.
