Every once in a while, the “cheese-eating surrender monkeys” produce a genius of rare quality. That person is Alain de Benoist. De Benoist is clear-eyed about the present and future and worth a listen.
A leading figure in the French New Right, de Benoist described to Breizh-info.com the resurgence of Donald Trump’s power as a major geopolitical upheaval, second only in his lifetime to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. He suggests this would lay bare Europe’s strategic weaknesses and ideological inconsistencies, underscoring its diminishing influence as the United States redefines its role in the world.
This article explores de Benoist’s ideas, the implications of Trump’s foreign policy, the fate of the transatlantic alliance, and what Europe’s leaders fail to grasp about power in the modern world.
