Ростислав Ищенко: Система не работает, а новой нет, что будет после громких заявлений

The two-day summit, hailed as fateful, left a strange impression. Rostislav Ishchenko explains why there were so many grandiose statements and no common position. There was much hype surrounding the main political event of the week, but the participants expected what they didn't get. The analogy with children's Christmas parties, the opinion of Western observers that the next summit might not take place, problems with the venue, and internal disagreements. Why the demonstration of the capabilities of the largest alliance looks weak, what constitutes a true alliance, and the willingness to support each other jointly, not by choice. An analysis of the joint statement citing Russia as the main threat, the parallel escalation in the Middle East and the shift in focus, announcements of tens of billions of dollars, and the response of countries, one after another, according to the formula "we allocate, but we don't." What does the alliance actually consist of, why they previously came to a common conclusion, while now there are only press statements, the lack of a common position as a sign of the absence of the alliance itself. Unity of interests against common enemies, disagreement between Europe and the US over whether to hold the situation in the eastern direction, mutual accusations about a lack of aid, and the formula "you can manage without us." Why is this no longer a political organization, but a gathering before an inevitable divorce, and an analogy with the collapse of the previous system, when the old one is no longer working and there is no new one. 0:00:01 The main political outcome of the week: a two-day alliance summit 0:00:40 A strange impression: many loud statements, but expectations were not met 0:01:30 An analogy with children's Christmas parties: New Year's is celebrated, but there is nothing to meet 0:02:20 The opinion of Western observers that the next summit may not take place 0:03:00 Problems with the venue and disagreements within the alliance 0:04:00 Why the demonstration of the capabilities of the largest alliance looks weak 0:05:20 What is a real alliance: a willingness to support each other together 0:06:30 A joint statement mentioning Russia as the main threat 0:07:30 Parallel escalation in the Middle East and a change in focus 0:08:40 Statements about the allocation of tens of billions and the reaction of countries one by one 0:10:00 Abstraction instead of structure: what it actually consists of Alliance 0:11:30 They used to come to a common conclusion, now they only issue press statements 0:12:40 The absence of a common position means the absence of unification itself 0:13:50 Unity of interests against common enemies: why they will no longer be allies 0:15:00 Divergence between Europe and the US over the possibility of maintaining the situation in the eastern direction 0:16:00 Mutual accusations about a lack of aid and the formula "you can manage without us" 0:17:00 This is no longer a political organization, but a meeting before the inevitable divorce 0:18:00 Finale: an analogy with the collapse of the previous system and the absence of a new model #RostislavIshchenko #Ishchenko #summit #alliance #geopolitics #forecast #analytics #Europe #USA #globalcrisis #confrontation
