This is one election where the fate of the Liberal world order will be decided irrespective of which side wins the mandate. The Democrat Party has reduced itself to become the passive placeholder for Anarcho-Communists and Islamist Radicals hell-bent on upending the very foundations of Civilisation as we know it from the ground up. Bloody visions of Civil War, Genocide, Brutal Purges, Secession and the break up of the American Union have saturated the social media space on both sides of the Political divide, digging up the ghosts that the world thought were exorcised in the unforgettable and diabolic theatres of war during the 20th century. If it was Totalitarianism, Communism and Nazism then, today it is a Liberalism gone rogue that is fast emerging as the enemy of all that we hold dear. The above article shies away from telling us the real story except terming the current build-up as shocking and unprecedented, leaving the rest to our imagination. Moreover, the suborning of and the clean vertical split in the Security Establishment like the FBI, CIA, NSC, the Armed Forces etc by forces inimical to the Democratic routines of the Free World, lends a frightening dimension to this supercharged atmosphere, with the inevitable possibility of an ideologically-captured Military Apparatus sweeping triumphantly over the surging waters of the Atlantic to fulfill that century-old project of dividing up the rest of the world in Iron Curtains. With China coming out of a Century of Humiliation and Turkey resurrecting dreams of Re-establishing the Ottoman Caliphate, using Armenia as the staging ground for honing the forgotten arts of Mass Massacre and Genocide; with Taiwan helplessly waiting for that inevitable clash of arms with the Mainland and a Pakistan in the throes of a possible implosion; and with Russia casting it’s sinister shadows over the Middle-East and Afghanistan, the last thing the world needed was the overnight disappearance of the restraining influence on International affairs by the reigning Superpower, USA, in the event of it’s possible collapse in the coming days and months.
India would do well to heed the lessons gleaned from the events of the last one year leading up to the present moment of existential uncertainty in the US. A local variant of those same destabilising ideological and fundamentalist forces operate within our borders and within our polity, too, like a putative Nation within a Nation, stalking like that Proverbial Beast which is sure it’s Time has come to mount a latter-day enactment of those Barbarians at the Gates of Rome.
