“Britain’s former PM shows there’s no price to be paid for engineering mass slaughter in the service of western empire. Which is why those crimes not only continue, but grow in scale”

Denmark’s long and difficult reckoning with America’s abandonment.

Since the end of the Cold War, the Scandinavian kingdom pursued a ‘super-Atlanticist’ strategy in hopes that the US would come to its aid when needed.

Now, trust between Washington and Copenhagen has been broken.

"Europe’s Schmittians are thus split between those, like Sellner, who have pan-European ambitions, and those whose primary point of reference remains the nation-state. On top of that, there is the conundrum of how to respond to American interference in Europe. Yes, AfD politicians welcomed J. D. Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference, but they understand that the pursuit of the American national interest will come at Europe’s — and thus Germany’s — expense. Washington clearly does not abide by the principle of nonintervention it enforces in its own so-called backyard.

Embracing Schmitt’s theory of great spaces does not, in fact, help to resolve any of these matters. Ultimately, there was always a tension in Schmitt’s thought. He argued for equality between great spaces but also envisioned an eternal battle between land powers like Germany and sea powers like Britain and the United States — a life-or-death struggle he ardently wanted Germany and its continental European sphere to win. It is in this contradiction, which can be found too in the Right’s simultaneous embrace of ethnopluralism and white supremacism, that the Schmittians remain caught.

It is thus unclear how Germany’s most recent infatuation with Schmitt’s order of great spaces will translate into political practice. Whether it is the far-right or centrist Schmittians who end up running the show, the likely outcome is not territorial annexation but economic hegemony. The result may be a return to the 2010s, when the centrist Schmittian Herfried Münkler played a key role in promoting German hegemony — as the Greeks remember all too well. Indeed, during that period, Münkler advised Wolfgang Schäuble, the conservative architect of externally imposed austerity and the federal debt brake."

In the USA, the War of 1812 has been seen as a triumph for the young republic, with Andrew Jackson's victory at the Battle of New Orleans setting the US commander on the road to national pre-eminence, ensuring the independence from European powers of the US itself, and igniting in the hearts of the US citizenry a patriotic flame that has never since been entirely extinguished.

Cooler heads note that the as far as the UK and the US were concerned, the provisions of the 1814 Treaty of Ghent restored the status quo ante. Any "decisive victory" of the US figured more in the American imagination rather than the military realities.

The US stamp from the Cold War era does its best to combine a celebration of the US victory at New Orleans with an assurance of the Atlantic alliance with the sometime enemy.

In other parts of North America....

@kim_harding who knew having a PM prostrate before big capital would prostrate himself before the big Capitol?

I suspect that some British are thinking of Trump as an unpleasant but temporary interlude; normal service , they imagine, will be restored in 2028.

This belief is wholly misguided. As Alexander Hurst points out,
Trump has now made it impossible for other countries to rely on the USA, and this breakdown in trust is irreversible for the foreseeable future, no matter who is president.
