THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND THE WAR IN UKRAINE

The struggle for Ukraine began three decades ago.

In 1990, after the victory in the Cold War, the then American President George H. W. Bush proclaimed a New World Order: The core of this new order was that the U.S. wanted to maintain and expand the dominance it had won in the world at that time.

Charles Krauthammer, a leading commentator on international affairs, has spoken of the "unipolar moment," that is, the unique opportunity for the United States to lead the world alone. Francis Fukuyama has written of the "end of history" because American values of democracy and capitalism have fully prevailed. Hillary Clinton then confirmed this stance years later when she said, "The time for spheres of interest is over," and probably meant the rest of the world. For the USA still maintained 800 military bases worldwide.
