Professor Wolff will present four key points that reveal the emergence of a new Cold War the U.S. has embarked upon in response to the rise of global alliances from which it is being excluded and that challenge the near century-old American economic dominance.
I. The Old Cold War Targeted Communism in the West and the USSR as its Source
II. The New Cold War Targets China and the BRICS
III. Trump/Musk Target the US Working Class and its Allies
IV. Europe’s Decline Deepens
