We argue Iran signals a historic shift from NATO/EU order toward U.S., China, Russia, India cooperation, linking Trump's strategy to Western Christian civilization's revival and Artemis II's lunar mission.
Tony Papert and Bruce Director host a Promethean Action strategic overview arguing that the Iran military operation signals a historic reorganization of world politics and economics, away from a transatlantic NATO/EU-centered order and toward cooperation among major “continental powers” such as the U.S., China, Russia, and India. Director contends President Trump is using force to pursue peace by breaking what he describes as British imperial leverage in the Middle East tied to oil and post-1971 financial shifts, and he cites behind-the-scenes diplomacy involving Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and China, as well as prospects for expanded U.S.–Russia economic projects. Papert links this outlook to a revival of Western Christian civilization and highlights Artemis II’s April 1 launch window, framing the crewed lunar-orbit mission as a cultural turning point recalling Apollo 8 and its Genesis reading, noting astronaut Victor Glover’s stated motivation: “for the glory of God.”
