The Western world has become a gangster film

'Civilisational decline happens slowly at first, and then all at once.' Allister Heath today. He is right.

He blames welfarism, egalitarianism and statism in Europe. 

He does not blame Netanyahu, whom he supports.

After what Trump is guilty of in Gaza why should people be shocked by Venezuela, Greenland, piracy on the high seas or anything else he does?

Because they were misled by the media into thinking Gaza was self-defence. 

The Western public, like Macbeth, have supped full with horrors but unlike for Macbeth the horrors have largely been hidden from them by the media.

Biden was even more guilty than Trump, because he paid for and justified 15 months of Gaza - but Trump is not just complicit in Netanyahu's crimes. He wants to compete with Netanyahu in his contempt for international law ..... and for decency. 

Netanyahu is the West's great enemy because he is corrupting Western elites and because Western countries will now share the guilt for Israel's actions. 

Previously the UK and other Western European countries (Germany the exception) carefully did not choose sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict. That is all gone.

Since Maduro was kidnapped (a word BBC journalists are instructed not to use) I keep reading conservative journalists who rightly railed at Russia for her illegal invasion of Ukraine now saying of course international law never meant much.

The wider world will have its revenge. It has started already. 

It started on September 11, 2001, in fact, or before.

The anti-American forces everywhere will be powerfully reinforced. 

Even the Eskimos hate Trump now.

In Latin America there will be a backlash but the most important backlash will be among young Americans.
