Ladies and gentlemen, the pace of political time today closely resembles the pace of technological development. It is much faster than our capacity to realize the changes. Are we ready? The answer is - categorically not. But we will adapt. In addition, at the moment, in addition to the partnership between the USA and Europe, a large part of the traditional political ideologies of the Old Continent are also collapsing.
This is what Svetoslav Ivanov commented on "120 minutes" on bTV.
Trumpism cannot be copied and transferred directly to the European stage. Europeans are neither so divided, nor do they need someone to constantly tell them that he wants to make them "great again". Because in the minds of Europeans, whether in the eastern or western part of the continent, there is a genetically transmitted self-confidence from generation to generation, of belonging to a culture and history much older than the "New World", created in this way precisely by Europeans - both the USA, and Canada, and South America. When this happened, the countries here were already 1000 years old, with a written history that is even older.
In this sense, the main postulate of Trumpism as a source of belief that "you will be great again", can be very difficult to replicate in Europe, because it is based primarily on economic aspirations associated with a falling standard of living and the death of the "American Dream". In Eastern Europe, however, this standard has never existed - the emergence of the middle class here is a process with a relatively short history. And in the West, they remember the devastation of the great world wars, caused precisely by the obsession with grandeur and domination over others. In this sense, we do not accept that large countries can rule smaller ones.
