Carney warned of a “global rupture” as the post–Cold War order breaks down. Susan Kokinda argues Trump just proved him right — cracking Iran after 47 years, handing Syria the Hezbollah job over Israel, and letting a broke Europe pay for its own war.
Ahead of the G7 in Evian, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned of a “global rupture” as the post–Cold War rules-based order breaks down — a claim Susan Kokinda argues was underscored by Donald Trump’s summit remarks suggesting Syria should handle Hezbollah if Israel cannot without “killing everyone else,” and criticizing Israel’s actions in Lebanon. The episode contends Trump’s approach reflects a sovereignty-based foreign policy that bypasses imperial proxies and multilateral institutions — seen in direct engagement with “the full spectrum” of the Iranian system to secure an Iran memorandum of understanding, and in prioritizing Gulf leaders over G7 counterparts. The real target, Susan argues, is dismantling the “terror premium” on oil tied to Strait of Hormuz threats. Meanwhile Europe’s Ukraine pledges look unfunded — with Britain’s defense leadership resigning over money — fueling Carney’s alarm.
