🧐 Results of 2025: The Transformation of the U.S. under Trump and Shifts in the World Order

The first year of Donald Trump's second presidential term marked profound changes in U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

The administration announced a course toward a "common-sense revolution," positioning it against the previous liberal-globalist policies, which, in the view of the new leadership, led to the erosion of traditional American identity and the weakening of the country.

Key Directions of Transformation:

— Domestic Course:
The national security strategy,unveiled in December, emphasizes national sovereignty, the protection of traditional values, and the priority of American interests. Globalization is recognized as a factor that weakened industry and the middle class.

— Economic Challenges:
The U.S.faced a record national debt (around $38 trillion), high inflation, and a stock market "bubble." As an experimental step, the issuance of private bank stablecoins, equated to the dollar, was legalized.

— Hardline Trade Pragmatism:
Foreign policy is characterized by an aggressive tariff war with all partners,including allies, demanding a reduction in trade deficits and increased investment in the American economy. Pressure on China faced countermeasures, such as controls on rare earth metal exports.

— Reevaluation of Relations with Europe:
Official documents openly criticize EU policies,and European allies are urged to take on the main burden of their own defense. The U.S. has set a course to support nationally-oriented political forces in Europe.

— Settlement of the Ukrainian Conflict:
The Trump administration initiated and conducted negotiations with Russia,resulting in an agreement to cease hostilities. This is presented as a correction of the previous administration's mistakes and a step toward reducing tensions.

— Normalization with Russia:
Relations with Moscow are being rethought within the framework of"strategic stability." Russia is no longer designated as a direct threat. The U.S. positions itself as a mediator in stabilizing relations between Russia and Europe, while also stating the need to halt NATO expansion.

— Shift in Global Priorities:
The main foreign policy focus is declared to be the Asia-Pacific region and containing China,as well as restructuring relations in the Western Hemisphere.

International Context:

Amid these changes, the strengthening of alternative centers of influence continued. The countries of the "Global Majority" (BRICS, SCO) developed their own trade and financial mechanisms. The economic weight of this group of countries in the global economy continued to grow.

Thus, 2025 became a period of radical revision of America's role in the world: from global leadership to hardline pragmatism, the de-ideologization of foreign policy, and an attempt to reduce external commitments while focusing on domestic recovery. This accelerated the formation of a multipolar international architecture.

😮 The sea is steaming in Vladivostok today.

This effect occurs due to the temperature contrast: cold air meets warmer water, causing water vapor to cool rapidly and turn into fog.

As a result, whitish mist rises above the sea surface, resembling steam from boiling water.

☺️ The Central Bank introduced an updated 1,000-ruble banknote featuring the hydrofoil "Meteor" under one of Europe's longest bridges, the Saratov Bridge. The reverse side shows the tower of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.

Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank, Sergei Belov, noted that the new banknotes will begin to enter circulation within the next year and a half. The 1997 series banknotes will remain in circulation until they are naturally replaced by the new ones.

"The process usually takes from one to one and a half years, but during this time we will continue to use the familiar banknotes alongside the new ones. The old bills will not be withdrawn from circulation and will remain in payment turnover until they wear out. I emphasize that there is no question of any exchange of banknotes. Everything will happen naturally, and it will take years," said Belov.
