A new multipolar world can be reached by Donald Trump by achieving harmony in Ukraine, stabilizing the Taiwan dispute, and then cutting protection investing in half, preventing a potential US debt crisis.
More than any of his successors, Trump has  , explained to , the people exactly what he means to do and why.  , The bewilderment with which Western officials and media have responded to Trump and his vital aides , does not stem from lack of clarity in Trump’s communication,  , but from neglect.  , America’s former clients have  , little , to , do  , in the new order.
The US-Russian agreements that brokered on February 18 in Saudi Arabia are expected to lead to a deal that extends beyond the Ukraine War.
” One of the first meetings I want to have ]is ] with President Xi]of] China and with President Putin of Russia and I want to say,’ let’s cut our military budget in half.  , We’re going to have them spend a lot less money and we’re going to spend a lot less , income,  , and I know they are going to accomplish it,'” Trump told investigators February 13.
Trump may enter the May 9 Moscow , 80th , celebration party of success in Europe, which Xi , Jinping may go. The Chinese website” Observer” ( guancha.cn )  , on February 19 speculates that Trump may convene a “new Yalta conference”, referring to the 1945 , meeting between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin , that sketched the postwar order. Russian state leaders have also made an appearance in Moscow regarding Trump.  ,
The government’s notes to writers February 18 at Mar-al-Lago provoked outraged , remark in conventional media.  ,” Today I heard , ]from Ukraine ]  ,,  ,’ Oh, we weren’t invited ‘]to Tuesday’s U. S. Russia talks ]. Well, you’ve been there for three years, you should have ended it ]in ] three years. You should have always started , it,  , you could have made a deal”.
Russia, to be sure,  , started the military conflict, Trump apparently referred to Zelensky’s abandonment of the Minsk II framework ( Russophone autonomy in a neutral, sovereign Ukraine ).  , Politico, the victim of tens of millions of dollars of grants from USAID, denounced Trump for “echoing the Kremlin”.
But Trump is unfazed.  ,” They were quite good”, he , said , at Mar-al-Lago , of , the debate with , Russia , in Saudi Arabia.  ,” Russia wants to do something. They want to quit the violent barbarianism”.
The historical allusion to the original Yalta is timely because it marked a catastrophe for the Central Europeans and East Germans who fell under Soviet rule. However, Germany’s Die Welt stated that the Great Powers may end war while the small people are relegated to the children’s board.  ,
The Cheshire cat , of , Alice in Wonderland , vanished , except , for its smile, and the British—whose then Prime Minister Boris Johnson , helped thwart peace negotiations in early 2022 – have disappeared except for their catty sense of humor.
The , Economist , pundit ,” Talleyrand”  , on February 19 deplores ,” the readiness with which much of the world has accepted the humiliation of Ukraine and its European friends. Where were the South Vietnamese present during the Paris peace negotiations? This pattern was established a long time ago. When the US finally started speaking with the Taliban, where were the Afghan puppet rulers? And now, what about the stalwart , Mr , Zelenskyy? Proxies are almost always treated , thus…. If , the Ukrainians are clever, they’ll quietly ask about applying for entry to the BRICS. Join the queue”.
A , three-way , summit , in Moscow , is far from certain. If it occurs, the agenda , will , look something like this:
1 ) A ceasefire in Ukraine with Russia in complete control of the territory it has already taken, including the majority of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as new elections in Ukraine that almost certainly would eliminate Zelensky. Given that the Europeans have too few deployable forces to cause trouble, and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has already stated that peacekeepers would not be protected by the mutual defense provisions of NATO treaties, some European or UK peacekeepers might be permitted.
2 )  , A rapid end to economic sanctions on Russia. Given that Trump prefers to sell US natural gas to Russia for roughly twice the price than to restore Russian supplies, whether gas supplies will be restored is a matter of negotiation.
3 )  , An agreement with China to stabilize the status of Taiwan. Although this would likely fall short of a new Shanghai Agreement  ( the 1972 treaty restored diplomatic relations between the US and China ), it would still be strong enough to win over both parties.
4 )  , The beginning of a nuclear arms negotiation on the scale of the Reagan-Gorbachev , agreement at Reykjavik in 1986.
” Observer” columnist Yan Mo on February 19 argues that Trump’s main objective in Taiwan is to bring onshore the knowhow of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company,  , which fabricates 90 % of the world’s advanced chips ( 4 nanometers and below ).
Noting Trump’s mention of a 100 % tariff on Taiwanese chip exports to the US, Yan writes:  ,” Trump , knows that it is meaningless to impose , tariffs , on , TSMC. After all, TSMC is in an absolute monopoly position….  , No matter , what tariff , is imposed, it will only be shared by customers.  , At present, the main buyers of TSMC’s advanced process chips are mostly American customers”.
What Trump intends, the Chinese columnist adds, is to force TSMC to set up several plants in the United States ( after years of delays, it is about to open one plant in Arizona ), or to merge TMSC with the struggling US chipmaker Intel, in effect acquiring TSMC’s technology.
From a national security standpoint, that is quite logical: The United States , does not want to depend on the People’s Republic of China for advanced chips in the event that Taiwan , were , absorbed into the mainland.  ,
The State Department last week deleted a phrase from its , Taiwan fact sheet , stating that the US does not support Taiwan’s independence. That is a bargaining move, the” Observer” columnist argues. ” The US State Department’s deletion of the statement , about’ not supporting Taiwan independence ‘ , is a negotiating posture , with respect , to , mainland , China”. If so, it is a clever negotiating move.
Vladimir Putin was forced out of the Kremlin in March 2022, when President Biden declared that the Russian economy would shrink by half  and that the unipolar world order would end.  , In October 2022, the United States imposed tech controls , that a , prominent , US analyst , dubbed” a new US policy of actively strangling large segments of the Chinese technology industry– strangling with an intent to kill”.
At the conclusion of the first Godfather film, Biden’s attempts to imitate Michael Corleone woefully failed. Russia ‘s , economy expanded rather than collapsed, and , out-produced , the combined NATO countries in arms, while China found workarounds to US controls, producing its own high-end chips and innovative AI systems.
On January 30th, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered the eulogy  for unipolarity, saying,” It’s not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power.” Unipolarity, he told , interviewer Megyn Kelly, “was an anomaly. You eventually would have a multipolar world, multi-great powers operating in various regions of the planet, despite the fact that it was a result of the Cold War’s end.
