The West's Place in the World After the Loss of Hegemony
Discussion: The Valdai Club
Western global hegemony and the rules-based international order are over.
The world is entering a post-Western era not only because of the rise of China, India, and other powers, but also because of the disintegration of the Western community itself, writes Gabor Stier for the 22nd Annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.
President Donald Trump's second term has accelerated the rift between the United States and its key allies, completely undermining the trust that has underpinned the international system of governance since World War II.

Linh Dinh at Postcards from the End.
Leaving my room, I decided, with some reservation, to revisit Salt Water, that temple to narcissism where the beautiful enough come to take endless selfies. Opening the door, I saw no unclaimed seat, so it’s back to Pato’s Bingsu. Hobbling here, I grinned and snapped my fingers at a hobbling dog, but he didn’t dare come near. Unlike Turkish ones, Vietnamese strays tend to flee from humans. Around 2AM, two others had fled from me. We were but three dark forms caught on a trafficless, thus silent, street, with nothing else stirring for at least a hundred yards in any direction. Large puddles from a recent rain reflected on this universe and life in general.

Michael Hudson, Prof Wolff: Cascading Policy Failures Undermine Empire
….. for me to explain how going off the gold standard essentially enabled the United States to fund its balance-of-payments deficit, meaning its military spending abroad, by pumping dollars into the global economy and having these dollars end up in foreign central banks and be recycled.
Well, what that means is that America’s whole military spending for the last fifty years depends upon the dollarization system in other countries, using dollars as their monetary reserves in place of gold, and instead of their own currencies. That means that, as they move away from the dollars, there’s no way that the United States can finance its eight hundred military bases abroad and its military spending.

Pakistan Says Trump’s Gaza Plan Differs From What Arab and Muslim Leaders Approved
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan is not the same that was approved by leaders of Arab and Muslim countries, including Pakistan.
“This is not our document,” Dar told reporters at a press conference in Islamabad. He explained that Pakistan and its allies had demanded several key points that were missing. “There are some key areas that we want covered …

Tucker Carlson and Jeffrey Sachs: Speeding Toward World War Three
Tucker Carlson is not our normal reading around here, but there was something really interesting in what is a sincere effort in his monologue, to explain certain issues. He does a good job of explaining, or rather asking the questions, of the US relationship with Zionist-israel. But more interesting, is this:

Unsustainable Toasts
Linh Dinh at Postcards from the End.
Since we’re well into America’s Golden Age, as bestowed, unleashed and unfurled by the greatest American ever, Donald Trump, this bit of fake news must be undoubtedly pushed by pathologically lying liberals, Socialists, Communists and cross-dressing freaks, “A growing crisis is silently unfolding in agriculture. Farmers are 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population. With mounting financial stress, that number could be on the rise this year.” So what if it’s published in Farm Journal Magazine on 9/17/25? Kenya-born Obama, Lying Hillary or Jimmy Kimmel probably paid them.

Expect A Huge Fuss About The October 7 Anniversary As The World Turns Against Israel
Caitlin Johnstone
Israel apologists are probably going to make a much, much bigger deal about the second October 7 anniversary than they did about the first anniversary, because they kind of have to. The world is turning against Israel in unprecedented ways in 2025, and yelling about October 7 is all they’ve got left.
The hasbarists are going to be so obnoxious. They’ll be babbling about Hamas beheading babies and then cooking the beheaded babies in the oven and then having sex with the beheaded babies and then eating the beheaded babies and then playing soccer with the baby heads while singing about how much they love Adolf Hitler.

Mr Putin’s response to Prof Marandi’s Gaza and Palestine question (formal trannoscript)
The Russian formal trannoscript on Vladimir Putin’s Valdai speech (4 hours including questions), is proceeding apace and we will hopefully see the trannoscript complete today. Again, every Tom, Dick and Harry are in the process of announcing what Putin said, do their own translations, and sometimes I know full well that in cases, he never said what is already appearing on sloganeering. The other problem is that people take the pieces that they are interested in only, and they lose the context. The context was How to do this Mulitpolar world thing and where are we? I intend to pull that out of the massive speech over the next day or two, for this very important context.
As Prof. Marandi’s question was a very important one, let’s take a look at it, from the formal trannoscript.

Hamas Statement Update (+ Update on the ground)
For those who did not follow, we've been here <em>six times</em> before in the previous two years. The Hamas Statement is relatively the same as the previous Hamas Statements. The Bibi Netanyahu gyrations are similar to the previous gyrations.
As usual, no matter what Trump says, Netanyahu is reneging. First, Netanyahu has not accepted the Plan. Second, when Trump said the shooting was to stop, it actually increased over the past number of hours. We've seen this <em>six times</em> before.

Analysis of President Putin's Valdai Speech : From Trannoscript - shifting global power dynamics
As an analytical framework and contextualization, I extracted and organized all the paragraphs and sub-paragraphs that directly address the concepts of multipolarity, polycentrism, and the end of Western hegemony, but in President Putin's own words. For this exercise, paragraphs purely about Ukraine or other tangential topics were left out, unless they directly reference the multipolarity theme. The goal is to give us a sharply focused dataset to work with.
