In a new edition of the book The Butterfly Effect, the professor says, Robert RussellHe spoke about the foreign policy that President Javier Miley seeks to promote, with an emphasis on full alignment with the United States and what that means in terms of “financially bailing out Argentina.”
Roberto Russell warned that Argentina was once again repeating historical patterns of strategic subordination. “This is the old Argentine idea that We have to save ourselves from someone’s hand“, he declared, casting doubt on the view that the United States could be the key to getting Argentina out of its structural crisis.
Javier Miley and the strong alliance with the United States and Israel
Likewise, he explained that, from the logic of some current political leaders, “for someone like Javier Miley and the kind of foreign policy he wants to promote, Obviously this was something that was not possible.“, referring to any proposal that is not strictly in line with the United States and Israel. “For their ideological connections, for their political project, for their economic project, The only thing that matters to him is the relationship with the United States and IsraelHe stressed that this is clear.
According to Russell, this vision assumes that “hand in hand with these people, especially the United States, Argentina is able to emerge from its crisis“, reproducing the same historical logic that led the country to depend on outside powers. “As Great Britain saved it, We were wrong in the context of World War II. Now enough, ready, the world is a world that tends to escalate competition, Argentina can go no furtherHe said: “We are going with the United States and that’s it.”
When analyzing the global scenario and the place that Argentina intends to occupy, he ignored the idea of expanding multipolarity. In this context, he highlighted: “I basically imagine Bipolar system. I don’t really like the idea of multipolarity.” He went deeper: “For me, the Pole is a superpower. The superpower is the one that owns everything“.
The field of multipolarity
For this reason, the specialist explained that many analyzes exaggerate in describing countries that do not have an integrated influence as “poles”: “Because if we start counting the poles because one of them stands out in one thing, but is weak in another, well, In fact, the world will always be multipolarEven in a time of unipolarity.”
In his interpretation of the emerging global order, he also warned against the loss of the importance of multilateral organizations. “Most likely the United Nations It becomes a very weak institution againHe commented that the organization’s strength came “in the context of unipolarity,” when the United States had no competitor capable of balancing its power.
