The Papier-Mâché Trophy: How We Lost the Cold War Flat Out.

 

Part 1: The "End of History" Hangover

If you still have a bottle of champagne saved in your china cabinet to one day toast the free world's great victory over communism in 1991—pour it down the toilet. It turned to vinegar a long time ago, just as toxic as the illusions of Washington analysts who spent decades jerking off to charts of global democratization.

I have a highly uncomfortable spoiler for you, the kind that usually gives liberal democracy zealots a nervous tic: The US lost the Cold War. What we mistook for a deafening triumph and Fukuyama's "end of history" for thirty years was the greatest geopolitical hallucination ever recorded. We stood on the pedestal, draped in medals, while the enemy quietly hauled the furniture out of our house and bought off the judges.

What we are facing today is not a sudden crisis. It’s the logical metastasis of a tumor the West decided to treat with a band-aid and IMF loans. Trump and his ruthless MAGA sledgehammer didn't just appear out of nowhere—it is the belated survival instinct of a civilization that suddenly realized it's about to be eaten alive.

But let's rewind the tape. Right back to the exact moment when everything went south.

A Change of Signboard Instead of Capitulation

In August 1991, the red flag was lowered over the kremlin. The Western public wept with joy. Washington pundits tripped over each other writing dissertations on how the totalitarian monster had collapsed under the weight of its own inefficiency.

What touching naivety.

There was no collapse. It was a brilliantly executed managed transformation. The soviet nomenclature and the kgb thugs simply realized that Marxism-Leninism was no longer selling. The ideological ballast was thrown overboard along with their party cards. The tough guys from the Lubyanka just changed the signboard. They took off their drab party suits, squeezed into bespoke Brioni jackets, and turned the state into a giant mafia corporation with a nuclear umbrella.

They didn't surrender. They just privatized the gas station, keeping the most important thing for themselves—the nuclear arsenal that guaranteed their absolute immunity, and their agent networks all over the world. The "young democracy" in russia was nothing more than a smokescreen. Behind it, there was a feverish rush to funnel assets offshore and integrate stolen billions into the bloodstream of the West—into London and Wall Street.

The Hamburger as a Symbol of Geopolitical Blindness

The generation of 90s politicians—Clinton, Bush Sr., and European leaders—proved completely, professionally unfit to face this hybrid mutation.

Their logic was staggeringly pathetic:

1️⃣ Since a McDonald's opened in moscow, it means they are ours now. 2️⃣ Since they drink Coca-Cola and wear blue jeans, the evil empire is dead. 3️⃣ If the bear started eating hamburgers, he automatically becomes a vegetarian.

They patronizingly patted a perpetually drunk Yeltsin on the shoulder, wrote IMF checks, and bought tickets to their own geopolitical slaughterhouse with idiotic smiles on their faces, genuinely believing they were integrating russia into the civilized world. Western leaders were playing checkers by the rules of honest diplomacy, while the chekist mutants were playing 3D chess using marked cards and stolen cash.

No one bothered to notice that the foundation of the authoritarian state remained completely intact. The biomass, accustomed to a firm hand, was simply waiting to be offered a new idol. And putin, a gray moth from a St. Petersburg alleyway, turned out to be the perfect candidate for the role of restorer.

While We Slept: The Birth of a New Axis

The main tragedy of the 90s and 2000s is that the conflict never actually disappeared; it just retreated into the shadows.

While the US joyfully tried on the cap of the global policeman, spending trillions of dollars chasing bearded men through Afghan caves, and trying to build democracy in places where democracy literally meant the right to stone your neighbor to death—the real enemies were bulking up.

🔥 The kremlin methodically, dollar by dollar, bought up European elites, hooking the Old World on the oil and gas needle (we’ll talk about this phenomenon of "Schroederization" separately; the level of cynicism there breaks right through the stratosphere). 🔥 And right behind moscow's back, quietly and without unnecessary noise, China picked up the fallen red banner. Beijing cold-bloodedly dissected the corpse of the soviet economy, drew its conclusions, and then used the endless greed of Western corporations to embed itself into the global system, evolving into an absolute, full-spectrum predator.

The "end of history" turned out to be just a smoke break before the real brawl. And when we finally woke up, it turned out that our institutions had rotted, our allies had grown fat and forgotten how to fight, and the enemy was sitting right in our living room.

That is exactly why today we see what we see. Trump is not a 'glitch in the system' and not a populist whim. It is the doctrine of 'Civilizational Realism' in action, an emergency resuscitation via electroshock. It is the cold, hard realization: if the Empire does not start burning out the metastases with the sledgehammer of 'Hard Sovereignty', it will simply be devoured.

But to understand how America reached the point of needing such brutal surgery, we need to look even deeper. Back to the times when Truman and Kennedy allowed the first fatal cracks in the foundation of our security.

Part 2: The First Cracks in the Foundation

In part one, we dissected why the West's 1991 triumph was just a massive geopolitical hallucination masking an elegant mutation of kremlin chekists. But if you think things only went south after the soviet union collapsed, you are dead wrong. The foundation of our global dominance started crumbling long before Yeltsin danced his famous drunken jig.

The first fatal cracks appeared back when the architects of the post-war world order were alive, full of vigor, and religiously believed in the infallibility of their doctrines. Let's talk about how America, at the absolute peak of its power, managed to hand over Asia, agree to a bloody tie, and let the enemy set up shop right in its underbelly.

1949: How Washington Gifted a Billion-Strong Market to the Red Dragon

The famous 1947 Truman Doctrine sounded beautiful and bombastic: the free peoples of the world look to us; we are obligated to support those resisting attempted subjugation. Sounds like a toast that makes you want to stand up and salute.

But just two years later, this doctrine failed spectacularly on the most crucial, massive front.

In 1949, the US made a blunder we are still paying for today—literally every day, whether we are buying a gadget or reading the news about the latest escalation around Taiwan. America "lost China."

While smart men in expensive suits sat in Washington drawing lines on maps to contain the soviet union in Europe, over in Asia, Mao Zedong was methodically finishing off Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang. The American establishment, lulled to sleep by its own nuclear monopoly (which, by the way, ended that same year in '49), looked at the Chinese civil war with a sort of squeamish detachment. Corruption within the ranks of their allies seemed like a good enough excuse to wash their hands of the whole mess.

As a result, the most populous country in the world, a colossal market, and a strategic foothold in Asia were handed over to the communists practically for free. This wasn't just losing a battle. This was surrendering an entire continent.

The reaction of the Truman generation was predictably hysterical. Instead of admitting the catastrophic failure of their own analytics and intelligence, Washington devolved into paralysis and a paranoid witch hunt. McCarthyism became an excellent smokescreen: it was much easier to look for spies in the State Department and Hollywood than to admit you had just hand-crafted a monster that, a few decades later, would start buying up your economy at the root.

1950–1953: The Bloody Tie in Korea and the Castration of Generals

Having lost China, Washington didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat from its brow before soviet puppets from the north crossed the 38th parallel in Korea in 1950. And this is where the American elite committed its second conceptual blunder—it decided that in an existential war, you could play for a "tie."

Instead of declaring war and annihilating the threat, the intellectuals in the Oval Office dubbed it a "UN police action." General Douglas MacArthur, a man with the instincts of a true apex predator, demanded the strikes be carried over into Chinese territory to finish the job, even if it meant using nuclear weapons. He understood what Trump has finally realized today: you don't negotiate with totalitarian regimes; you smash them back to the Stone Age with a sledgehammer.

But what did Truman do? He got scared. Scared of moscow, scared of World War III, scared of the abrasive MacArthur—and disgracefully fired the only general who wanted to, and could, win.

We are still choking on the results of this bureaucratic cowardice today. America settled for the status quo. We voluntarily left the psychopathic communist monarchy of the Kims on the world map, which today stamps out nuclear warheads and sends cannon fodder to fight against the West. In 1953, moscow and Beijing learned a crucial lesson: America is afraid of total victory. All it takes is spilling a little American blood, and the politicians in Washington will come running themselves to sign an armistice.

1959: Bearded Romantics and Missiles Off Florida

If the loss of China and the shameful tie in Korea were strategic earthquakes on the other side of the world, the events that unfolded a few years later became a slap in the face that left America’s ears ringing.

1959. Cuba. A group of bearded guys in olive fatigues overthrows the Batista regime. And once again, American analytics showcase miraculous short-sightedness. The CIA scratched their heads for a long time, trying to figure out: is Fidel Castro just an eccentric nationalist with a left-wing slant, or is he a hardcore Marxist? While they were writing their reports, Castro made a choice that permanently altered the geopolitical map of the hemisphere.

The US, swept up in playing the global superpower game, somehow missed the emergence of a soviet outpost just 90 miles off its own coast. It’s like building an impenetrable fortress, installing state-of-the-art security systems, and then acting surprised to discover a bunch of thugs with flamethrowers have been living in your basement for a year.

The Cuban Revolution exposed the total impotence of the "containment" doctrine when faced with an asymmetrical threat. America didn't know how to respond to the hybrid methods of the era. A direct military invasion (the Bay of Pigs fiasco) turned into a humiliating debacle that only solidified Castro's grip.

And then came the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Yes, Kennedy is widely praised for pulling the world back from the brink of the nuclear abyss. But let's be cynical realists: the sheer fact that soviet missiles ended up in Cuba was a colossal failure of American strategy. The evil empire, without firing a single shot, managed to put a gun to Washington's head.

The myth that the West controlled the situation suffered a deep fracture. It became clear that alliance systems and bombastic speeches at the UN do not work if the enemy is willing to act brazenly, asymmetrically, and completely outside the rules.

These three blunders—surrendering China, cowardice in Korea, and the rise of red Cuba—became the first symptoms of a disease that corroded the West for decades. A disease called geopolitical blindness and a severe allergic reaction to making tough, non-linear decisions.

It is exactly these mistakes, multiplied by the cowardice of subsequent generations of politicians, that led us to the chaos we now have to bulldoze away with the MAGA machine. But we’ll dig into that, and how America voluntarily raised the premier sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East, in the next part of our autopsy.

Part 3: Burning Continents and Bearded Fanatics

We’ve already figured out how the Truman and Kennedy generation missed China, agreed to a bloody tie in Korea, and allowed the soviets to drag missiles into Cuba. But if in the 50s and 60s America at least tried to flex its muscles, in the 70s the Western elite decided that geopolitics was too crude and retreated into philosophical musings about human rights.

It was during this decade that the foundation was laid for the global hell we live in today. Let's look at how the West, with its own perfectly manicured hands, surrendered three continents, destroyed its allies, and raised the sponsors of global terrorism.

1979: Carter, Sniveling, and the Surrender of Iran

By the late 70s, Jimmy Carter sat in the White House—a man with a perhaps beautiful soul, but a completely atrophied predator instinct. Meanwhile, a crisis was brewing in Tehran: the US-loyal Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was rapidly losing control of the country.

Was the Shah a harsh authoritarian leader? Absolutely. But he was our son of a bitch. He kept Islamic radicals in check, pumped oil to the West, and was the main counterweight to soviet influence in the region.

What did the Carter administration do when the Shah's throne began to totter? Instead of sending a carrier strike group and helping an ally grind the rebellion into the pavement, Washington started wringing its hands and sniveling. State Department emissaries lectured the Shah on the importance of democratic reforms, while mobs of fanatics on the streets of Tehran were already burning American flags.

As a result, America simply surrendered its key ally. The Shah fled, and from his Parisian exile (oh, the irony: Europe carefully sheltered the future executioner), Ayatollah Khomeini made a triumphant return. Secular authoritarianism was replaced by an aggressive theocracy whose main national idea became the destruction of the United States.

Then came the seizure of the American embassy—444 days of absolute, crystal-clear humiliation of a global superpower. Bearded fanatics wiped their feet on American pride, and Carter wrote protest notes in response. The surrender of Iran marked the birth of systemic state terrorism. America itself unleashed a virus into the world that later mutated into Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

Latin America: How the West Surrendered the Jungle

While the Islamic threat was being born in the Middle East, moscow was methodically taking over the Third World.

In Latin America, soviet instructors were molding the region into a staging ground to strike at America's soft underbelly. Nicaragua fell to the Sandinistas in 1979. Washington tried to fight back (sponsoring the likes of the Contras), but did so with such inconsistency and so much looking over its shoulder at the left-wing press that it elicited nothing but mockery in moscow. The evil empire acted brazenly, while America constantly apologized for trying to defend its own borders.

Betrayal in Africa: The Murder of Rhodesia and South Africa

But if the US at least simulated resistance in Latin America, in Africa the West committed an act of outright geopolitical suicide.

In the 70s, the soviets threw a literal safari on the continent. Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia—one country after another fell into the hands of pro-soviet Marxist regimes. The kremlin, without a shred of embarrassment, airlifted thousands of Cuban mercenaries and tons of weapons there.

And what was the "free world" doing? It was busy destroying its own allies—Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa.

Ian Smith's Rhodesia was an effective, economically successful state with the strongest army in the region, successfully grinding pro-soviet terrorists into dust. But to Western liberals, Rhodesia was a "racist regime." So London, along with Washington, choked Rhodesia with brutal sanctions, forcing the handover of power to the Marxist Robert Mugabe. The result is well known: what was once the breadbasket of Africa turned into a destitute, starving hellhole with hyperinflation, completely loyal to the anti-Western axis.

The exact same scenario was executed against South Africa. Instead of supporting Pretoria—the only industrially developed, anti-communist bastion in southern Africa that controlled vital sea lanes—the West joined the soviet boycott campaign. Europe and the US dismantled with their own hands the very regime that protected their interests, handing over a fabulously wealthy country to the ANC (African National Congress), which had been funded and trained by the kgb for decades.

The Lone Island of Sanity: Israel Against Everyone

Against the backdrop of this total Western capitulation, the only state that refused to play a rigged game of giveaway was Israel.

In 1973 (the Yom Kippur War), Israel faced an existential threat: soviet weapons in the hands of Arab coalitions threatened to push the Jews into the sea. And Israel survived. It survived not thanks to the UN or European diplomacy. It survived thanks to its brutal, non-linear will to live and its readiness to kill those who came to kill them.

But look at Europe's reaction. Instead of supporting the only outpost of civilization in the Middle East, the Old World got scared of the Arab oil embargo. European elites began pandering to terrorists, opening PLO representative offices, and lecturing Israel on the disproportionate use of force.

This schizophrenia continues to this day. Europe, softened by left-wing discourse, has spent decades trying to tie Israel's hands, not understanding (or not wanting to understand) that if Jerusalem falls, Paris and London will be next in line.

The 1970s became the decade when the West proved to its enemies: we can be beaten, we can be blackmailed with oil, entire continents can be taken from us. We will write indignant resolutions, strangle our own allies, and beg for negotiations. We didn't lose the Cold War on the battlefields—we lost it in the minds of our politicians.

But the most interesting part was yet to come. The period when Europe decided to sell itself to the chekists for cheap gas. Welcome to the era of "Schroederization."

Part 4: A Glimmer of Will and the Era of "Schroederization"

In the previous parts, we dissected the history of how the West spent decades surrendering its positions: we handed China over to Mao, let soviet missiles into Cuba, surrendered Africa, and cultivated Islamic radicalism in Iran. It seemed that by the late 70s, the free world was simply tired of living and was prepping for a voluntary capitulation to moscow.

But in the 1980s, something happened that historians would later call the "conservative revolution," and the chekists would call their absolute worst nightmare. For a brief historical moment, politicians with the instincts of true apex predators took power in the US and the UK.

The Cowboy and the Iron Lady: How to Talk to the Evil Empire

Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were the exact polar opposites of the soft-hearted idealists of the 70s. They didn't believe in "détente," didn't want peaceful coexistence with the GULAG, and had absolutely no intention of apologizing for Western values.

Reagan did something that sent the Washington establishment into a collective swoon: he called things by their proper names. He publicly christened the USSR the "Evil Empire." To European diplomats, who had spent years getting used to licking kremlin boots in exchange for gas contracts, this sounded like outright sacrilege.

What did this pair do? They flipped the switch to a full-court press. 1️⃣ The Arms Race: Reagan launched the SDI program ("Star Wars"). It didn't matter whether it was a bluff or not—the soviet economy, held together by duct tape, a prayer, and oil prices, gave itself a hernia trying to respond. 2️⃣ Backing Anti-Communists: They started arming the Afghan mujahideen, turning Afghanistan into a bleeding, gaping wound for the soviet army (yes, this caused massive blowback later, but tactically, the mission was executed flawlessly). 3️⃣ Economic Strangulation: The US struck a deal with the Saudis to crash global oil prices. The soviet budget completely imploded.

Reagan and Thatcher didn't want to negotiate. They wanted to win. And it was exactly this brief period of hard, uncompromising force that led to the collapse of the soviet colossus in 1991.

But what happened next? Next, the West made the most shameful, pathetic mistake in its history. Instead of finishing off the beast, purging the chekist archives, and carrying out full-scale lustration, Western elites decided the bear had become a vegetarian and started doing business with it.

The Era of Great Political Prostitution: The Phenomenon of "Schroederization"

The generation of Clinton, Blair, Chirac, and Merkel proved entirely unworthy of Reagan and Thatcher's legacy. They joyfully declared the "end of history," gutted their military budgets, and rushed headlong into cashing in.

Meanwhile, the chekists, having dumped the ideological dead weight of the communist party, changed into expensive bespoke suits and realized something truly genius: why threaten Europe with tanks when you can just BUY it?

Thus began an era that political scientists coyly refer to as "interdependence," but which we will call exactly what it was—an era of total political prostitution, or "Schroederization."

The ultimate symbol of this moral freefall was Gerhard Schroeder—the Chancellor of Germany, the locomotive of the European economy. A man who rammed through the construction of a gas pipeline bypassing Eastern Europe, hooked his own country on the russian gas needle, and upon leaving office, immediately slid into an executive armchair at gazprom. And he was far from the only one.

The kremlin methodically, dollar by dirty dollar, bought up the Western establishment: 🔥 Energy Blackmail: Europe voluntarily murdered its own nuclear and coal energy sectors (shoutout to the eco-activists generously sponsored by moscow), replacing them with cheap russian gas. By 2020, Germany's dependence on russia had become critical. 🔥 Londongrad: The British capital mutated into a giant laundromat for dirty chekist billions. russian oligarchs bought up premier league soccer clubs, Mayfair real estate, and peerages. British counterintelligence wrote alarming reports, but politicians looked the other way—money doesn't stink, even when it's soaked in blood. 🔥 French Cynicism: Paris kept supplying moscow with advanced military tech (thermal imagers, avionics) even after the invasion of Georgia in 2008 and the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

The Needle You Can't Get Off Of

While America spent the 2000s burning through trillions, chasing bearded men through the caves of Afghanistan and trying to build democracy in Iraq, putin was quietly building his new Empire.

Europe went completely soft. Politicians began to view moscow not as an existential threat, but as a moody, yet very rich, business partner. "They won't attack because it's not economically viable," European analysts chanted like a mantra right up until February 2022.

They judged the chekist mafia by their own standards. They thought putin was interested in stock dividends, but he was interested in an empire.

The papier-mâché trophy the West glued together for itself in 1991 finally crumbled into dust. Nurtured by Western money and tech, fattened up by European cowardice and American blindness, the monster returned. And not alone, but in an alliance with China and Iran—the very Axis of Evil that we ourselves had so carefully cultivated over the preceding decades.

We reached the point of absolute geopolitical bankruptcy. The moment when the old rules stopped working entirely, and diplomacy turned into pathetic bleating. It is precisely at this point in history that the MAGA sledgehammer was required.

In the final part of our autopsy, we will talk about how America finally woke up and shifted to the Doctrine of "Hard Sovereignty."

Part 5: The MAGA Sledgehammer and a Brutal Reconquista

Over the previous four parts, we conducted an autopsy on Western geopolitical blindness. We saw how generations of politicians, starting in the 1940s, methodically surrendered the globe: they missed China, chickened out over Cuba, gave up Africa, grew Islamic terror in Iran, and finally, during the era of "Schroederization," simply sold Europe to the chekists for cheap gas.

By the 2020s, the situation went critical. The Axis of Evil (moscow, Beijing, Tehran) stopped hiding. They openly laughed at the UN, bought Western politicians wholesale, and prepped for a final redivision of the world. The good old liberal rules-based order turned into a suicide club where everyone politely smiled while their throats were being slit.

It was exactly at this point of absolute geopolitical bankruptcy that the MAGA phenomenon emerged.

The Hysteria Around the Hat: Who Actually Invented MAGA

European intellectuals and the left-wing press love to paint Trump and the MAGA movement as a mob of petulant populists who accidentally broke a beautiful system. What a monstrously stupid, historically illiterate take.

For those who faint at the sight of a red hat, I have bad news: open Wikipedia. Trump didn't even invent the slogan. The phrase "Let’s Make America Great Again" was first used by Ronald Reagan in his 1980 presidential campaign—the exact same Reagan who later drove a wooden stake through the heart of the soviet economy. And in 1992, the "Make America Great Again" slogan was happily co-opted by Democrat Bill Clinton.

The desire to make your country great, strong, and untouchable to its enemies is an absolutely normal, baseline instinct of any sane national leader. We have our own blood-soaked equivalent: "Ukraine Above All!" ("Україна понад усе!"). And it carries the exact same meaning: uniting citizens for the survival of the nation and the ruthless annihilation of those who came to kill us.

You Don't Like Trump? That's Your Personal Problem

Let's get one simple thing straight. You don't like Trump? His manners, his tweets, his complexion, or his ego annoy you? That is exclusively your personal problem.

He is not your relative, not your husband, and not your next-door neighbor for you to love him. Geopolitics has no room for emotions and adolescent grudges.

Many today have already forgotten the kind of degrading, venomous criticism Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher faced in their time. The liberal press of the 80s painted them as cartoonish maniacs, dim-witted radicals who were just about to unleash a nuclear holocaust. Today, those two are the unattainable gold standard of political will, idols prayed to even by their former critics.

Only history gets to decide who was right and who was a pathetic coward. Every world leader has their specific historical mission. Trump, with his doctrine of "Civilizational Realism" and "Hard Sovereignty," didn't come to be liked. He came to smash a rotten system.

2026: The Reconquista Begins in the Western Hemisphere

The US stopped playing the role of the "benevolent hegemon" paying out of pocket to defend fattened-up European allies while writing protest notes in response to being spit in the face. You want the American umbrella to protect you? Pay 5% of your GDP for defense. You don't want to? Defend yourselves when russian tanks knock on your door.

But the main difference between Trump and the politicians of the "end of history" era is the readiness to use actual force. Trump launched the Reconquista.

🔥 The Blockade of Cuba: In 2026, Washington, tired of watching Beijing and moscow turn the Island of Freedom into their own intelligence base, imposed a brutal naval blockade. No negotiations. Either China and russia remove their radars from there, or the island gets bombed back to the Stone Age. 🔥 Operation in Venezuela: The situation with the Maduro regime, which sat on the bayonets of Cuban intelligence and russian PMCs, was resolved surgically. Instead of more useless sanctions, the US executed a hard, non-linear special op to decapitate the cartel's leadership. It was a crystal-clear signal to the rest of the world: America no longer negotiates with leftist dictatorships in its own underbelly. It burns them out.

"Midnight Hammer": The End of the Iranian Fairytale

But the heaviest blow of the MAGA sledgehammer is currently suspended over the Middle East.

Trump shut down the circus of endless "nuclear deals." In 2026, the Pentagon finalized preparations for Operation "Midnight Hammer"—a plan for the direct, kinetic destruction of Iran's nuclear potential. This isn't a war for democracy. It’s the sanitary logging of a diseased forest. Israel finally received not just "expressions of support," but a green light and heavy bunker-buster bombs. The Axis of Evil began to crack at the seams.

Epilogue: The End Justifies the Means

We must all have only one goal in our sights right now: the total collapse of russia and putting China firmly in its place. We need to knock the teeth out of dictatorial regimes so hard that they can't even dream of global leadership, let alone redrawing borders.

Will Trump succeed? Will he see his Reconquista through to the end? Only the immediate future will tell.

But there is one thing we know for an absolute fact, and these five articles are the ironclad proof of it: all previous generations of Western politicians squandered the Cold War in the most pathetic way imaginable. And if today we do not start smashing the enemy with a sledgehammer, completely disregarding the "rules of polite society," tomorrow we simply won't have a place to live.

End of series.
