Douglas Macgregor provides it in his latest article at American Conservative:
The War for Globalism in Ukraine
Washington’s proxy war in Ukraine is the globalist scheme to transcend the continuity of history, culture, and geography embodied in the nation-state.
I’m willing to accept Macgregor’s tracing of America’s allegiance to “globalism” to the presidency of former Rhodes scholar Clinton.
During the 1999 Kosovo air campaign, President Bill Clinton told Americans, “That’s what this Kosovo thing is all about.… It’s globalism versus tribalism.”
In 1999 very few Americans paid attention to Clinton’s remarks. Kosovo was yet another conflict on someone else’s soil with little or no relevance to daily life in America. …
The term “globalism” has since evolved to mean much more than free trade and comity between nations. Today, the Western nation-state and the nationalism it inspires are condemned by globalists as the sources of prejudice, exclusivism, and war. In retrospect, Clinton’s use of the term “globalism” is in continuity with the Biden administration’s proxy war against Russia.
I think it’s fair to say that today’s “globalism” is basically the extension of Classical Liberalism to the world. Classical Liberalism came about as a way to supposedly put the wars of religion behind Western man. Globalism aspires to put all particularisms behind global man. That Classical Liberalism is a type of religion that spreads war everywhere it goes eludes its devotees.
To Washington’s contemporary ruling political class, globalism involves more than purchasing products manufactured by cheap labor in non-Western countries. Washington-led globalism now promises the dissolution of traditional political and social forms of human organization—national governments, borders, identities, cultures—and replaces them with a world of consumers united only by their dependence on amorphous corporations, unaccountable non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and supra-national institutions.
Put another way, globalism is now synonymous with the progressive left’s view of the postwar liberal international security order that must expand to survive. Washington’s proxy war in Ukraine is the globalist scheme to transcend the continuity of history, culture, and geography embodied in the nation-state, to homogenize disparate peoples in the process of assimilating rapid social and technological change. ...
You can see from this why the Rules-Based Order must replace International Law. International Law is simply the law of nations, the traditional law that governs interactions between sovereign nations. Globalism rejects and seeks to supplant the very notion of sovereign nations and to merge formerly independent states into an order that is based on the new rules set by the globalist elite.
And therein lies the problem. Nations and their peoples do not evolve in a vacuum, nor do they surrender their existence without a fight.
These points should alert Washington to the fact that its proxy war for globalism in Ukraine involves national identity, a dynamic force that stirs the deepest human emotions. Yet it is not just two kinds of nationalism, Ukrainian and Russian, rooted in language, culture, and history, that are in conflict. Washington’s brand of globalism, dressed in the guise of NATO expansion, directly challenges Russian national identity and culture. It is Russia’s unique geographic role in linking European and Asian civilization, as well as its Orthodox Christian culture—a belief system enshrined in Russia’s current state ideology, foreign, and security policy—that are imperiled.
...
Statements by the U.S. Secretaries of Defense and State that Washington wants to “weaken” Russia make it clear that Washington’s allegedly benevolent “rules-based order” is of no benefit to Russia. In fact, the statements simply confirm in Russian minds the belief that the U.S. is a co-belligerent in Ukraine’s war for NATO expansion.
My Father and I thought GHW Bush a One Worlder and worried about GW who turned out to be just as bad. GW was a big let down as it was hoped at the time he'd stop the flow to China, instead he helped them more then Obama opened the flood gates. We've been greatly ill-served.
