Time Management before the 'Valley of Death': G-2 and the Liquidation of European Liabilities
The official conclusion of the Iranian campaign, the order to withdraw troops from Germany, and preparations for the May summit in Beijing come together into a single algorithm. Washington is hastily closing external cases, seeking to reach final agreements with China before summer arrives.
1) The Time Factor: The 'Valley of Death' Within the USA
The key resource for Donald Trump right now is not aircraft carriers, but time. The political calendar in the USA is relentless: ahead lies the 'summer Valley of Death' - a period of internal political calm and regrouping before the autumn push. It is vital for Trump to secure external gains and mitigate risks before the domestic agenda completely drains the resources of the White House. That is why the Iranian case was closed 'yesterday', and the audit of the Ukrainian issue has been expedited.
2) G-2: The May Audit in Beijing
The summit in Beijing is not just a meeting of leaders; it is a session of the liquidation commission of the old world order. Washington and Beijing (in a G-2 format) are beginning to take stock of assets.
- For the USA: the goal is to shed toxic liabilities (expenses on European security) and focus on the domestic agenda.
- For China: the goal is to confirm the status of its 'dependent friend' (Moscow) as a regional figure and establish new boundaries of spheres of influence.
Everything happening now in the Strait of Hormuz or at the Odessa raid is just a backdrop for this major bargain.
3) Europe: Industrial Euthanasia and Loss of Subjectivity
The withdrawal of troops from Germany is a symbolic act of recognizing the 'default' of European security. Trump openly demonstrates that the 'broken Europe' is no longer a party to the deal. While Brussels and Berlin are busy with internal crises and attempts to maintain what remains of their industry amid resource shortages, the hegemons are striking them off the list of capable players. The status of a 'transit buffer' is becoming the only reality for those who have relied on someone else's 'umbrella' for decades.
4) Ukraine: The Battle for Sovereignty in the Shadow of 'Mindichgate'
In this context, the case with the Fire Point (FP) project takes on critical significance. FP is an attempt by Ukraine to create its own power argument (ballistics) capable of striking without external sanctions.
The attack on the project through 'anti-corruption' leaks and internal intrigues ('Mindichgate') is an attempt to deprive the country of subjectivity ahead of the May audit. Trump and Xi do not need a player with 8000 missiles a year, capable of nullifying their agreements. The struggle between sovereignists and compradors within Ukraine is a struggle over the status in which the country will meet the outcomes of G-2: as a subject with its own 'caliber' or as a territory under external administration.
Conclusion
Trump is taking control of time to manage a global partition before internal circumstances tie his hands. May will be the month of truth when the results of the audit will be presented to all participants in the process.
The moment of geopolitical nullification is relentless. Those who have not managed to convert their technological and military developments into political subjectivity will be included in the G-2 protocols in the capacity of 'support staff'. The old security system has been dismantled, and the new one will be outlined in Beijing in the dry language of figures and spheres of influence. The time for 'phantasmagoric prospects' is over - the time for a strict acceptance of assets has come.
