Maybe “the West” no longer exists. There’s just the US and then there’s Europe, and each of them is doing their own thing.
That’s true, I should have thought about Canada and other allies of the West (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, maybe others).
I guess the US was the lynchpin that held “the West” together. Without good leadership from them, then I guess the world is as Mark Carney described: the US doing its own thing, and then a bunch of “middle powers”, who should act together, if they want better outcomes when dealing with the big powers.
It’s mostly just the EU and Canada who are the good guys at this point. Everyone else is going full on fascism.
Oh the EU is going full fascism in some spots too.
