God\u2019s \u201cfirst shock\u201d is conceptual, but Trump\u2019s \u201cfirst shock\u201d is real. Like falling dominoes, it is delivering successive shocks across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United States\u2019 National Security Strategy (NSS) 2025 can be summed up in one phrase: a \u201cWestern Hemisphere-fortification strategy,\u201d choosing and concentrating on the western hemisphere. In that sense, it can also be called a \u201cgradual Eastern Hemisphere-abandonment strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, the imperialist camp is weakening while the anti-imperialist camp is strengthening, accelerating the full-scale escalation of World War 3. A powerful wind of strategic change is sweeping across the global balance of forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Tactical Cooperation by the Anti-imperialist Camp That Accelerate the Fragmentation of the Imperialist Camp<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump represents the US chauvinist forces. Because of the United States\u2019 standing in the world, the Trump faction also represents chauvinist political forces worldwide. In explaining the contradictions within the imperialist camp, the confrontational framework between so-called \u201cglobalists\u201d and so-called \u201cchauvinists\u201d is particularly useful for analyzing the current political situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the traditional political spectrum, globalists are primarily based on right-wing social democracy, while chauvinists are centered on conservative forces. This is one of the grounds on which globalists criticize chauvinists as fascists. However, globalists too are chauvinists in a broader sense. The neo-Nazis in Ukraine and the Zionists in Israel, operating in proxy wars under the direction of globalists, are quintessential political chauvinists\u2015fascists. Those who wage fascist wars by putting chauvinists at the forefront cannot themselves be free of chauvinism. Contrary to their name, globalists are the representative chauvinists and fascists of the present era. They have even, through cunning maneuvers, manipulated the social-democratic left into becoming a \u201cZionist left.\u201d The social-democratic right and globalists are making use of the opportunistic nature of the social-democratic left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At present, the mainstream of chauvinist and conservative forces opposes intervention in the war in Ukraine and shows a relatively pro-Russia tendency. In the United States, the conservative forces of Republican Party not only lack a fascist tradition, but have even pushed out the neoconservatives who represented the military\u2013industrial complex. The fact that the Republican Party appeals to the founding ideals of the United States, which include a spirit of independence, cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representative fascist policies include war against foreign states and persecution of foreign peoples. The former constitutes the highest level, while the latter represents the lowest level. Unlike during World War 2, in the current conditions of World War 3, the former is carried out by globalists centered on the social democratic right, while the latter is associated with chauvinists centered on conservative forces. While globalists are waging brutal wars against foreign states by putting neo-Nazis forward in Ukraine and Israeli Zionists in West Asia, chauvinists have not yet reached the level, within their own country, of persecuting foreign peoples by confining them to places like \u201cAuschwitz\u201d and brutally killing them. In short, the representative fascists of today are not chauvinists, but globalists. Even when the persecution of foreign peoples becomes the focus of the news coverage, one must never overlook the fact that the forces driving us to world war are globalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, chauvinists do not oppose war in principle; rather, they avoid and refrain from wars they do not desire. The reasons are that war results in the deaths of their own soldiers, entails enormous financial losses, and is judged to be difficult to win. If a war can be won and the scale of damage were limited, then\u2014as history has demonstrated\u2014they readily consent to war. Chauvinists are themselves a component of the imperialist camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, communist forces and other anti-imperialist forces cannot take these chauvinists as a driving force for anti-war peace movements or anti-imperialist, independent movements. In other words, neither a strategic united front nor even a tactical joint front can be formed with them. Unlike during World War 2, the forces that communist forces take as targets for tactical joint fronts are limited to those of the social-democratic left. Since today the social-democratic right is the core of the globalists, it cannot serve as an object of a tactical joint front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anti-imperialist forces including the communist forces can\u2019t form a tactical joint front with chauvinist and conservative forces, but they can engage in tactical cooperation with them. Tactical cooperation differs from the tactical joint front formed during World War 2 through agreements reached when representatives of the socialist Soviet Union met with representatives of the imperialist United States and Britain. Just as a strategic united front differs from a tactical joint front, so too does a tactical joint front differ from tactical cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tactical cooperation, in the sense of acting in step tactically, refers to a situation in which anti-imperialist forces and conservative chauvinists, for the purpose of isolating and striking more forcefully at their common enemy\u2014the globalists\u2014each direct the spearhead of their attacks toward the globalists, while restraining mutual attacks between the two forces. Through this tactical measure, communist and anti-imperialist forces can maximize the contradictions between globalists and chauvinists within the imperialist camp. Put simply, It leads our side to unite twofold while the enemy side is split in two, thereby producing an effect that is, arithmetically speaking, quadrupled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If one were to seek a comparable example of tactical cooperation in the experience of World War 2, one could point to Stalin\u2019s conclusion of the German\u2013Soviet Non-Aggression Pact and the Soviet\u2013Japanese Neutrality Pact with Germany and Japan respectively. The form of these arrangements as \u201ctreaties\u201d is ultimately not essential, as they were in fact abrogated through the treacherous actions of Germany and Japan. What mattered was that these tactical measures proved effective in redirecting Germany\u2019s main direction of attack toward Western Europe and another imperialist power, Britain, and Japan\u2019s main direction of attack toward Southeast Asia and another imperialist power, the United States. As a result, the imperialist camp was fragmented and weakened, while the socialist Soviet Union avoided a two-front assault from both the west and the east, gained time to strengthen its capacities, and turned this respite into a decisive opportunity to alter the course of the war. For reference, today there is no need to conclude agreements similar to past tactical treaties in order to pursue tactical cooperation. Making mutual agreement a precondition belongs not to tactical cooperation, but to a tactical joint front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tactical cooperation is the measure currently being employed in practice by Russia, China, and the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea against the United States. Since the war in Ukraine, these principal anti-imperialist states have consistently designated the globalists within the imperialist camp as their main target of attack, while engaging in tactical cooperation with the chauvinists. Just as, during World War 2, communist and anti-fascist forces worldwide understood and took note of the Soviet Union\u2019s tactical joint front and tactical treaties, so today communist and anti-imperialist forces around the world must also pay close attention to the tactical cooperation measures being undertaken by the three anti-imperialist states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. The Intensification of Contradictions within the Imperialist Camp<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the emergence of the Trump administration, conflicts between globalists and chauvinists have intensified by the day. These conflicts are serious enough to spill beyond the economic and political spheres into military clashes in the form of civil wars and territorial disputes. The contradictions between globalists and chauvinists are deepening across multiple dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, upon taking office, the Trump administration immediately launched an unprecedented \u201ctariff war.\u201d Its primary targets were its \u201callied nations,\u201d whose ruling forces are, for the most part, globalists and right-wing social democrats. At The Hague NATO summit in June 2025, the Trump administration pressured European Union member states to raise their defense spending to as much as 5 percent of GDP. This amounted to a bombshell declaration that the United States no longer intends to remain actively engaged in NATO. By attaching the modifier \u201cgradual,\u201d the Trump administration\u2019s intention\u2014essentially to disengage from the war in Ukraine and from NATO activities\u2014was clearly conveyed to the European Union and NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, Trump maintained a consistently cordial atmosphere in his August meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska and in his October meeting with Xi Jinping in the \u2018Republic of Korea (ROK).\u2019 This dual and contradictory posture\u2014quarreling intensely with allies within the imperialist camp while instead seeking friendly relations with rival states of the anti-imperialist camp\u2014clearly illustrates the political position and pragmatic judgment of the Trump faction and US chauvinists within the imperialist camp. This pattern of the Trump administration remained consistent throughout both its first and second term. For the Trump faction and US chauvinists, the primary enemy\u2014the main threat to their very existence\u2014is the globalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, chauvinists refer to globalists as the \u201cdeep state\u201d and regard them as the primary target for liquidation. The antagonistic contradiction between US chauvinists and globalists has not changed even once from the Trump\u2019s first-term inaugural address to the present second term and has continued to worsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After declaring at the Washington NATO Summit in July 2024 that the political preparations for the \u201cPacificization of NATO\u201d had been completed, and while its military preparations were being carried forward through joint military exercises such as \u201cFreedom Edge,\u201d \u201cRIMPAC,\u201d and \u201cUlchi Freedom Shield\u201d from June to August of that year, on July 13, a would-be assassin\u2019s bullet grazed Trump\u2019s ear. At the time, globalists were openly inciting calls for Trump\u2019s removal. Although the assassination attempt on Trump ended in failure, the assassination attempt on \u201cLittle Trump,\u201d Charlie Kirk, in September 2025, did not fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film \u201cCivil War,\u201d produced by globalists, depicts a president who attempts to secure a third term\u2014clearly modeled on Trump\u2014only to be shot dead in the White House amid a civil war. As can be seen from Putin\u2019s experience, there is more than one method by which a third term can be carried through constitutionally. At present, Trump appears prepared, if circumstances demand it, to declare martial law. That the contradiction between chauvinists and globalists within the United States is escalating toward civil war is now a widely known fact, to the extent that it is reported even in mainstream media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti that occurred in Minneapolis respectively on January 7 and January 24, 2026, are provoking mass public outrage surpassing that of the death of George Floyd on May 20, 2025. It would not be surprising for Barack Obama to step forward and incite anti-government protests. Obama is universally known as one of the principal leaders of globalists. Trump has always pointed to Obama as the power behind Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The so called \u201cEpstein list\u201d was raised by chauvinists as a weapon to attack globalists. The recent unfolding \u201cpot calling the kettle black\u201d controversy ultimately serves only to intensify the deadly conflict between these two forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contradiction between the United States and the European Union is deepening further as a result of Washington\u2019s Western Hemisphere centered strategy. The Western Hemisphere consists of the Americas plus Greenland. Strictly speaking, the Western Hemisphere also includes Iceland, and encompasses everything west of the vertical line running through the Greenwich Observatory in Britain. The territorial ambitions of the United States will never stop at Greenland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At present, the Trump administration has, in Central and South America, abducted the president of Venezuela, which constitutes a \u201clinchpin\u201d, and plundered its oil, while in the north it is concentrating on bringing Greenland under US ownership and on turning Canada into the 51st state of the United States. It is no coincidence that immediately after carrying out \u201cAbsolute Resolve Operation\u201d on January 3, the Trump administration revealed its desire to possess Greenland, and then went on to threaten that if the Canadian government were to conclude an agreement with China, it would impose 100 percent tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among these issues, the Greenland question in particular is severely provoking the European Union. As Trump himself has suggested, if a military option were taken and an armed clash were to occur with the European Union, the collective-defense nature of NATO would make the dissolution of NATO unavoidable. As is well known, the dissolution of NATO would signify an irreversible split and a catastrophic collapse within the imperialist camp. If the imperialist camp were to become this divided and weakened, it would be absolutely impossible for it to wage a world war against the anti-imperialist camp. In an already-begun world war, the defeat of the imperialist camp would then become as clear as day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Precisely because the danger is so great, the United States and the European Union reached a temporary stopgap agreement at the Davos Forum. This is because the United States, which is militarily threatening Iran, needs to put its conflicts with the EU on hold. Merely in exchange for the rhetoric of excluding military options, the United States\u2019 military and economic dominance over Greenland has grown even stronger. Seizing Greenland has been a long-held ambition of US imperialism and is the most significant achievement that Trump\u2019s forces and the Republican Party can showcase to win the November midterm elections. The level of mutual distrust between the United States and the EU has already crossed the point of no return. The EU is well aware of the consequences that the dispute with the United States over Greenland will lead to. This is one of the reasons why the EU is seriously considering a NATO without the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. The Unity and Strengthening of the Anti-Imperialist Camp and the Accelerated Full-Scale Escalation of World War 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Greenland issue intensified contradictions between the United States and the European Union, the Venezuela issue has heightened the contradictions between US imperialism and the anti-imperialist camp. The former contributes to the division within the imperialist camp, while the latter contributes to the unity of the anti-imperialist camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration claims that its abduction of Venezuela\u2019s legitimate President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro is \u201claw enforcement,\u201d but everyone except the Trump faction recognizes that it is a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law. In response, the Trump administration has gone as far as to withdraw from UN agencies and even openly proposing complete withdrawal from the UN itself, along with the creation of an \u201canother UN.\u201d This indicates that the Venezuela issue is also amplifying contradictions within the imperialist camp. In fact, other heads of imperialist states, including France\u2019s Emmanuel Macron, have publicly denounced Trump\u2019s abduction of Maduro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump forces regard Venezuela as a country that must be firmly seized under the strategy of the \u2018fortification of the Western Hemisphere.\u2019 While abducting President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, whose commitment to the ideologies and principles of anti-imperialist independence and people\u2019s democracy is steadfast, Trump is focusing on controlling Venezuela\u2019s crude oil reserves\u2014the largest reserve in the world\u2014to achieve the goal of lowering oil prices, a key task for winning the November midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rodriguez government, which succeeded the Maduro government, is faced with the difficult task of defending national sovereignty while simultaneously conducting negotiations with the United States. A situation similar to the experiences of China and Vietnam following the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe is recurring in Venezuela today. Balancing principles and flexibility is always a crucial yet difficult task. Now, more than ever, international solidarity in support of Venezuela\u2019s Bolivarian Revolution is of paramount importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that the United States is controlling not only Venezuelan crude oil but also Iranian crude oil constitutes the most serious threat to China, whose largest oil imports come from Iran. If the United States can control the oil of these two countries and manipulate international oil prices, this would also deal a significant blow to Russia. For this reason, it is only natural that China maintains an unusually high level of vigilance regarding United States- and Israel-led attempts at a \u201ccolor revolution\u201d in Iran and supports Iran more strongly than ever. Since the operation \u201cAbsolute Resolve\u201d was carried out after the appearance of a US nuclear carrier strike group in the Caribbean, the deployment of a US nuclear carrier strike group to the waters near Iran in the Indian Ocean is, without a doubt, a highly perilous military adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran is a military power, distinct from both Venezuela and Syria. As a missile power, Iran can, at any moment, devastate US bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and eastern Saudi Arabia in an instant using various missiles and drones. In retaliation for the US assassination of Qasem Soleimani on January 3, 2020, Iran struck US military bases in Iraq. Similarly, when the United States bombed Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025, Iran retaliated by targeting US bases in Qatar with missiles. Israel now lacks sufficient missiles to maintain high-, medium-, and low-altitude defense systems, and the United States, with its constrained production capacity, cannot replenish the missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, a ballistic missile strike by Iran could instantly pulverize US military bases in West Asia (the Middle East) and Israel. In the process, even Saudi Arabia\u2019s largest oil facilities in the Eastern Province, including Aramco, could catch fire. This is why countries such as Saudi Arabia have declared that they will not cooperate with any US attack on Iran. Nevertheless, a US nuclear carrier strike group has entered the waters near Iran, and US naval forces are gathering one after another. The world has recently witnessed what kind of attack Venezuela suffered after US naval forces gathered in the Caribbean at the end of last year. Iran is now maintaining the highest level of vigilance and is prepared even for a \u2018regional war.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the United States eventually dares to launch a war against Iran, it will expand into a conflict involving not only West Asia but also its allies\u2014a world war. World War 3, which began with the war in Ukraine in February 2022, will escalate into a full-scale war through an all-out war in Iran. This is a scenario that the Trump administration and US chauvinists, fully aware of the enormous human and financial consequences of war, do not desire. While we must prepare for the worst-case scenario of war, the full-scale outbreak of World War 3 is more likely to occur in East Asia than in West Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that the United States has decided to focus on the Western Hemisphere in response to the power shifts of the multipolar era\u2014branding this policy as the \u201cTrump Corollary\u201d and \u201cNeo-Monroeism (Donroeism)\u201d and releasing the National Defense Strategy (NDS) 2026 following the NSS 2025\u2014it is rational for China and the DPRK to interpret this policy shift as a \u201cNew Acheson Line.\u201d In other words, it is understood that the United States, fearing a full-scale war with nuclear missile superpowers like China and the DPRK, has effectively abandoned Taiwan and the \u2018Republic of Korea\u2019 and retreated from the \u201cFirst Island Chain\u201d to the \u201cSecond Island Chain.\u201d Consequently, analyses are increasing that the \u201cTerritorial Integrity\u201d\u2014the long-cherished aspiration of China and the DPRK\u2014is now imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, as a response to the US military pressure on Venezuela and its attempted \u201cColor Revolution\u201d in Iran, China urgently conducted a three-day encirclement exercise around Taiwan from December 29 to 31, 2025, like a final rehearsal. There are also unconfirmed reports that the Chinese leadership convened a meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee immediately after the January 3 incident to impose financial, oil, and logistical sanctions against the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately after the Venezuela incident broke out, the DPRK carried out a test launch of the \u201cHwasong-11Ma\u201d new-type hypersonic missile on January 4. It is reported that this missile will be equipped on nuclear-powered submarines in the future. Russia, in light of these various events, also took action on January 8 by striking Europe\u2019s largest gas storage facility, located in Western Ukraine, with the \u201cOreshnik\u201d hypersonic missile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is by no means a coincidence that the DPRK and Russia launched hypersonic missiles\u2014the weapons most feared by the United States, the EU, and NATO. If World War 3 were to escalate in full-scale, the DPRK and Russia could easily suppress their opponents using these formidable hypersonic missiles even without tactical nuclear weapons. The same applies to China. Naturally, if the war situation becomes unfavorable, they could also equip these missiles with tactical nuclear warheads. The \u201cselection and focus\u201d content outlined in the NSS 2025 and NDS 2026 should be interpreted as the result of the Trump administration\u2019s serious deliberation on these realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US imperialism\u2019s abduction of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro in Venezuela and its attempted \u201cColor Revolution\u201d in Iran are extraordinarily accelerating the awakening and solidarity of not only anti-imperialist nations and forces in Latin America but also the anti-imperialist camp on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as the fascists in 1936 drew arrows of aggression from Spain toward France, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe, the imperialism of 2026 is mapping out its direction of attack from Venezuela toward Cuba, Central America, and South America. Identifying Cuba as the next target after Venezuela in Central America, the United States is suffocating the Cuban economy by thoroughly blockading oil import lines from Venezuela and Russia. Just as the International Brigades shouted the slogan \u201c\u00a1No Pasar\u00e1n!\u201d in Spain, we must do the same in Venezuela today. If Venezuela\u2019s Bolivarian Revolution collapses, a domino effect of counter-revolution\u2014a turbulent surge of the \u201cBlue Tide\u201d\u2014will sweep across Central and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If China and the DPRK in East Asia quit the policy of \u201cStrategic Patience\u201d and decide to carry out the wars in Taiwan and the \u2018ROK\u2019, it will inevitably force a shift in the \u201cStrategic Patience\u201d policies of Russia and Iran. The full-scale outbreak of World War 3 is highly likely to begin in the East Asian theater, which will completely transform the landscape of local and regional wars on a global scale. In West Asia, the \u201cAxis of Resistance\u201d will expand, and it will be Israel\u2014not Iran\u2014that suffers a decisive blow; meanwhile, a domino effect of revolution will sweep across Latin America, bringing a \u201cRed Tide\u201d that surpasses the \u201cPink Tide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following its predetermined conclusion, the United States will respond by intervening moderately in the Eastern Hemisphere while gradually retreating, yet it will struggle desperately to maintain its hegemony in the Western Hemisphere at all costs. While the United States may describe this as an \u201corderly retreat,\u201d but in reality, US troops deployed around the world will be reduced to prisoners of the anti-imperialist forces resulting in a total catastrophe for the United States. The United States will attempt to save at least the Western Hemisphere as outlined in NSS 2025, but it will be unable to reverse the already tilted tide. In the end, justice will prevail; by the final blow of the anti-imperialist camp, Latin America will become the graveyard of US imperialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump does not truly understand what he has committed. Since he still believes the United States is a superpower and is obsessed with arrogance, committing acts of violence, how could any rational thinking be possible for him? Even now, the only way for Trump and his forces to prolong their political lives is to first stop intervening in the affairs of the Eastern Hemisphere\u2014specifically, by withdrawing the US military bases scattered across the Eastern Hemisphere and permanently expelling aircraft carrier strike groups, which are nothing more than prey for hypersonic missiles, from the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, they must realize as soon as possible how foolish and reckless the plan to seize control of Mexico and other Latin American nations is\u2014a strategy based on the fortification of the Western Hemisphere that runs counter to the era of anti-imperialist independence and people\u2019s democracy. And they must immediately cease all military provocations and economic plunder. Otherwise, the US chauvinists will ultimately be denounced as just \u201canother Deep State\u201d and will follow in the footsteps of the perishing Globalists toward destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump forces and the US chauvinists must see the prevailing trend correctly and immediately stop their reckless behavior of acting as an \u201cinternational gangster,\u201d going beyond the role of an \u201cinternational police.\u201d As history and reality prove, the masters of this world are the people. Any action that turns the people of the United States and the rest of humanity into enemies will only return as a boomerang. The conclusion of the domino effect that began with the Trump administration is a world where the people become the true masters\u2014it is revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"dom-spa\" class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Spanish]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Los Domin\u00f3s de Trump<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stephen Cho | Organizador de la Plataforma Mundial Antiimperialista<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El mundo est\u00e1 sumido en la confusi\u00f3n por un efecto domin\u00f3 que comenz\u00f3 con Donald Trump.

Al explicar las contradicciones dentro del campo imperialista, el marco de confrontaci\u00f3n entre los llamados \u201cglobalistas\u201d y los llamados \u201cchovinistas\u201d es particularmente \u00fatil para analizar la situaci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica actual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dentro del espectro pol\u00edtico tradicional, los globalistas se basan principalmente en la socialdemocracia de derecha, mientras que los chovinistas se centran en fuerzas conservadoras. Esta es una de las razones por las que los globalistas critican a los chovinistas como fascistas. Sin embargo, los globalistas tambi\u00e9n son chovinistas en un sentido m\u00e1s amplio. Los neonazis en Ucrania y los sionistas en Israel, que operan en guerras proxy bajo la direcci\u00f3n de los globalistas, son chovinistas pol\u00edticos por excelencia\u2014fascistas. Quienes libran guerras fascistas poniendo a los chovinistas al frente no pueden ellos mismos estar libres de chovinismo. Contrariamente a su nombre, los globalistas son los chovinistas y fascistas representativos de la \u00e9poca actual. Incluso, mediante maniobras astutas, han manipulado a la izquierda socialdem\u00f3crata para convertirla en una \u201cizquierda sionista\u201d. La socialdemocracia de derecha y los globalistas se aprovechan de la naturaleza oportunista de la izquierda socialdem\u00f3crata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En la actualidad, la corriente principal de las fuerzas chovinistas y conservadoras se opone a la intervenci\u00f3n en la guerra de Ucrania y muestra una tendencia relativamente prorrusa. En Estados Unidos, las fuerzas conservadoras del Partido Republicano no solo carecen de una tradici\u00f3n fascista, sino que incluso han desplazado a los neoconservadores que representaban al complejo militar-industrial. El hecho de que el Partido Republicano apele a los ideales fundacionales de Estados Unidos, que incluyen un esp\u00edritu de independencia, no puede ignorarse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las pol\u00edticas fascistas representativas incluyen la guerra contra Estados extranjeros y la persecuci\u00f3n de pueblos extranjeros. La primera constituye el nivel m\u00e1s alto, mientras que la segunda representa el nivel m\u00e1s bajo. A diferencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en las condiciones actuales de la Tercera Guerra Mundial, la primera la llevan a cabo los globalistas, centrados en la socialdemocracia de derecha, mientras que la segunda se asocia a los chovinistas, centrados en las fuerzas conservadoras. Mientras los globalistas libran guerras brutales contra Estados extranjeros poniendo a neonazis al frente en Ucrania y a sionistas israel\u00edes en Asia Occidental, los chovinistas a\u00fan no han llegado al nivel de perseguir a pueblos extranjeros dentro de su propio pa\u00eds confin\u00e1ndolos en lugares como \u201cAuschwitz\u201d y asesin\u00e1ndolos brutalmente. En s\u00edntesis, los fascistas representativos de hoy no son los chovinistas, sino los globalistas. Incluso cuando la persecuci\u00f3n de pueblos extranjeros se convierte en el foco de la cobertura medi\u00e1tica, nunca debe pasarse por alto el hecho de que las fuerzas que ejecutan e impulsan una guerra mundial son los globalistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al mismo tiempo, los chovinistas no se oponen a la guerra en principio; m\u00e1s bien evitan y se abstienen de las guerras que no desean. Las razones son que la guerra provoca la muerte de sus propios soldados, implica enormes p\u00e9rdidas financieras y se juzga dif\u00edcil de ganar. Si una guerra pudiera ganarse y el nivel de da\u00f1os fuera limitado, entonces\u2014como ha demostrado la historia\u2014consentir\u00edan gustosamente en ella en cualquier momento. Los chovinistas son en s\u00ed mismos un componente del campo imperialista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por esta raz\u00f3n, las fuerzas comunistas y otras fuerzas antiimperialistas no pueden tomar a estos chovinistas como fuerza motriz de movimientos pacifistas contra la guerra o de movimientos antiimperialistas e independentistas. En otras palabras, no puede formarse con ellos ni un frente unido estrat\u00e9gico ni siquiera un frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico. A diferencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las fuerzas que las fuerzas comunistas toman hoy como objetivo de frentes conjuntos t\u00e1cticos se limitan a las de la izquierda socialdem\u00f3crata. Puesto que hoy la socialdemocracia de derecha es el n\u00facleo de los globalistas, no puede servir como objeto de un frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las fuerzas antiimperialistas, incluidas las fuerzas comunistas, no pueden formar un frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico con las fuerzas chovinistas y conservadoras, pero s\u00ed pueden entablar cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica con ellas. La cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica difiere del frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico formado durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial mediante acuerdos alcanzados cuando representantes de la Uni\u00f3n Sovi\u00e9tica socialista se reunieron con representantes de los Estados imperialistas de Estados Unidos y Gran Breta\u00f1a. As\u00ed como un frente unido estrat\u00e9gico difiere de un frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico, tambi\u00e9n un frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico difiere de la cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica, en el sentido de actuar al un\u00edsono en el plano t\u00e1ctico, se refiere a una situaci\u00f3n en la que las fuerzas antiimperialistas y los chovinistas conservadores, con el prop\u00f3sito de aislar y golpear con mayor fuerza a su enemigo com\u00fan\u2014los globalistas\u2014, dirigen cada uno la punta de lanza de sus ataques hacia los globalistas, mientras refrenan los ataques mutuos entre ambas fuerzas. Mediante esta medida t\u00e1ctica, las fuerzas comunistas y antiimperialistas pueden maximizar las contradicciones entre globalistas y chovinistas dentro del campo imperialista. En t\u00e9rminos simples, conduce a que nuestro lado se una por partida doble mientras el lado enemigo se divide en dos, produciendo un efecto que, aritm\u00e9ticamente hablando, se cuadruplica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si se buscara un ejemplo comparable de cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica en la experiencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, podr\u00eda se\u00f1alarse la conclusi\u00f3n por Stalin del Pacto Germano\u2013Sovi\u00e9tico de No Agresi\u00f3n y del Pacto de Neutralidad Sovi\u00e9tico\u2013Japon\u00e9s con Alemania y Jap\u00f3n, respectivamente. La forma de estos arreglos como \u201ctratados\u201d no es, en \u00faltima instancia, esencial, pues de hecho fueron anulados por las acciones traicioneras de Alemania y Jap\u00f3n. Lo que import\u00f3 fue que estas medidas t\u00e1cticas demostraron ser efectivas para redirigir la direcci\u00f3n principal del ataque de Alemania hacia Europa Occidental y otra potencia imperialista, Gran Breta\u00f1a, y la direcci\u00f3n principal del ataque de Jap\u00f3n hacia el Sudeste Asi\u00e1tico y otra potencia imperialista, Estados Unidos. Como resultado, el campo imperialista se fragment\u00f3 y debilit\u00f3, mientras la Uni\u00f3n Sovi\u00e9tica socialista evit\u00f3 un asalto en dos frentes desde el oeste y el este, gan\u00f3 tiempo para fortalecer sus capacidades y convirti\u00f3 ese respiro en una oportunidad decisiva para alterar el curso de la guerra. Como referencia, hoy no es necesario concluir acuerdos similares a aquellos tratados t\u00e1cticos del pasado para impulsar la cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica. Hacer del acuerdo mutuo una condici\u00f3n previa no corresponde a la cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica, sino a un frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica es la medida que actualmente emplean en la pr\u00e1ctica Rusia, China y la Rep\u00fablica Popular Democr\u00e1tica de Corea contra Estados Unidos. Desde la guerra en Ucrania, estos Estados antiimperialistas principales han designado de manera consistente a los globalistas dentro del campo imperialista como su principal objetivo de ataque, al tiempo que entablan cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica con los chovinistas. As\u00ed como, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las fuerzas comunistas y antifascistas de todo el mundo comprendieron y tomaron nota del frente conjunto t\u00e1ctico y de los tratados t\u00e1cticos de la Uni\u00f3n Sovi\u00e9tica, hoy las fuerzas comunistas y antiimperialistas de todo el mundo tambi\u00e9n deben prestar estrecha atenci\u00f3n a las medidas de cooperaci\u00f3n t\u00e1ctica que est\u00e1n llevando a cabo los tres Estados antiimperialistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. La intensificaci\u00f3n de las contradicciones dentro del campo imperialista<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desde el surgimiento de la administraci\u00f3n Trump, los conflictos entre globalistas y chovinistas se han intensificado d\u00eda tras d\u00eda. Estos conflictos son lo suficientemente graves como para desbordarse m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las esferas econ\u00f3mica y pol\u00edtica hacia choques militares en forma de guerras civiles y disputas territoriales. Las contradicciones entre globalistas y chovinistas se profundizan en m\u00faltiples dimensiones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Primero, al asumir el cargo, la administraci\u00f3n Trump lanz\u00f3 de inmediato una \u201cguerra arancelaria\u201d sin precedentes. Sus principales objetivos fueron sus \u201cnaciones aliadas\u201d, cuyas fuerzas gobernantes son, en su mayor\u00eda, globalistas y socialdem\u00f3cratas de derecha. En la cumbre de la OTAN de La Haya en junio de 2025, la administraci\u00f3n Trump presion\u00f3 a los Estados miembros de la Uni\u00f3n Europea para que elevaran su gasto de defensa hasta el 5 por ciento del PIB. Esto equivali\u00f3 a una declaraci\u00f3n-bomba de que Estados Unidos ya no pretende seguir comprometido activamente con la OTAN. Al a\u00f1adir el modificador \u201cgradual\u201d, la intenci\u00f3n de la administraci\u00f3n Trump\u2014esencialmente, retirarse de la guerra en Ucrania y de las actividades de la OTAN\u2014qued\u00f3 claramente transmitida a la Uni\u00f3n Europea y a la OTAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En contraste, Trump mantuvo una atm\u00f3sfera consistentemente cordial en su reuni\u00f3n de agosto con Vladimir Putin en Alaska y en su reuni\u00f3n de octubre con Xi Jinping en la \u2018Rep\u00fablica de Corea (ROK)\u2019. Esta postura dual y contradictoria\u2014pelear intensamente con aliados dentro del campo imperialista mientras busca relaciones amistosas con Estados rivales del campo antiimperialista\u2014ilustra claramente la posici\u00f3n pol\u00edtica y el juicio pragm\u00e1tico de la facci\u00f3n de Trump y del chovinismo estadounidense dentro del campo imperialista. Este patr\u00f3n de la administraci\u00f3n Trump se mantuvo consistente a lo largo de su primer y segundo mandato. Para la facci\u00f3n de Trump y el chovinismo estadounidense, el enemigo principal\u2014la amenaza principal para su propia existencia\u2014son los globalistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En Estados Unidos, los chovinistas se refieren a los globalistas como el \u201cEstado profundo\u201d y los consideran el objetivo principal de liquidaci\u00f3n. La contradicci\u00f3n antag\u00f3nica entre el chovinismo estadounidense y los globalistas no ha cambiado ni una sola vez desde el discurso inaugural del primer mandato de Trump hasta el actual segundo mandato, y ha seguido agrav\u00e1ndose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despu\u00e9s de declarar en la cumbre de la OTAN en Washington en julio de 2024 que los preparativos pol\u00edticos para la \u201cPacificaci\u00f3n de la OTAN\u201d hab\u00edan sido completados, y mientras sus preparativos militares avanzaban mediante ejercicios conjuntos como \u201cFreedom Edge\u201d, \u201cRIMPAC\u201d y \u201cUlchi Freedom Shield\u201d entre junio y agosto de ese a\u00f1o, el 13 de julio una bala de un aspirante a asesino roz\u00f3 la oreja de Trump. En ese momento, los globalistas incitaban abiertamente llamados a la destituci\u00f3n de Trump. Aunque el intento de asesinato contra Trump termin\u00f3 en fracaso, el intento de asesinato contra el \u201cpeque\u00f1o Trump\u201d, Charlie Kirk, en septiembre de 2025, no fracas\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La pel\u00edcula \u201cCivil War\u201d, producida por globalistas, retrata a un presidente que intenta asegurarse un tercer mandato\u2014claramente modelado en Trump\u2014solo para ser abatido a tiros en la Casa Blanca en medio de una guerra civil. Como puede verse por la experiencia de Putin, hay m\u00e1s de un m\u00e9todo por el cual un tercer mandato puede llevarse adelante constitucionalmente. En la actualidad, Trump parece preparado, si las circunstancias lo exigen, para declarar la ley marcial. Que la contradicci\u00f3n entre chovinistas y globalistas dentro de Estados Unidos se est\u00e1 escalando hacia una guerra civil es ahora un hecho ampliamente conocido, hasta el punto de ser reportado incluso en los medios dominantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los asesinatos de Renee Good y Alex Pretti ocurridos en Minneapolis el 7 y el 24 de enero de 2026, respectivamente, est\u00e1n provocando una indignaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica masiva que supera la causada por la muerte de George Floyd el 20 de mayo de 2025. No ser\u00eda sorprendente que Barack Obama diera un paso al frente e incitara protestas antigubernamentales. Obama es universalmente conocido como uno de los principales l\u00edderes de los globalistas. Trump siempre ha se\u00f1alado a Obama como la fuerza detr\u00e1s de Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La llamada \u201clista Epstein\u201d fue presentada por los chovinistas como un arma para atacar a los globalistas. La reciente controversia, que se desarrolla bajo la forma de \u201cel sart\u00e9n le dice al cazo\u201d, en \u00faltima instancia solo sirve para intensificar el conflicto mortal entre estas dos fuerzas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La contradicci\u00f3n entre Estados Unidos y la Uni\u00f3n Europea se profundiza a\u00fan m\u00e1s como resultado de la estrategia centrada en el Hemisferio Occidental de Washington. El Hemisferio Occidental consiste en las Am\u00e9ricas m\u00e1s Groenlandia. En sentido estricto, el Hemisferio Occidental tambi\u00e9n incluye Islandia, y abarca todo lo que est\u00e1 al oeste de la l\u00ednea vertical que pasa por el Observatorio de Greenwich en Gran Breta\u00f1a. Las ambiciones territoriales de Estados Unidos nunca se detendr\u00e1n en Groenlandia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En la actualidad, la administraci\u00f3n Trump, en Centro y Sudam\u00e9rica, ha secuestrado al presidente de Venezuela, que constituye una \u201cpieza clave\u201d, y ha saqueado su petr\u00f3leo, mientras que en el norte se concentra en poner a Groenlandia bajo propiedad estadounidense y en convertir a Canad\u00e1 en el estado 51 de Estados Unidos. No es casualidad que inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de llevar a cabo la \u201cOperaci\u00f3n Absolute Resolve\u201d el 3 de enero, la administraci\u00f3n Trump revelara su deseo de poseer Groenlandia y luego amenazara con imponer aranceles del 100 por ciento si el gobierno canadiense firmaba un acuerdo con China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entre estos asuntos, la cuesti\u00f3n de Groenlandia en particular est\u00e1 provocando severamente a la Uni\u00f3n Europea. Como el propio Trump ha sugerido, si se adoptara una opci\u00f3n militar y ocurriera un choque armado con la Uni\u00f3n Europea, el car\u00e1cter de defensa colectiva de la OTAN har\u00eda inevitable la disoluci\u00f3n de la OTAN. Como es bien sabido, la disoluci\u00f3n de la OTAN significar\u00eda una ruptura irreversible y un colapso catastr\u00f3fico dentro del campo imperialista. Si el campo imperialista quedara as\u00ed dividido y debilitado, le ser\u00eda absolutamente imposible librar una guerra mundial contra el campo antiimperialista. En una guerra mundial ya iniciada, la derrota del campo imperialista se volver\u00eda entonces evidente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Precisamente porque el peligro es tan grande, Estados Unidos y la Uni\u00f3n Europea alcanzaron un acuerdo temporal de emergencia en el Foro de Davos. Esto se debe a que Estados Unidos, que amenaza militarmente a Ir\u00e1n, necesita poner en pausa sus conflictos con la UE. A cambio meramente de la ret\u00f3rica de excluir opciones militares, el dominio militar y econ\u00f3mico de Estados Unidos sobre Groenlandia se ha vuelto a\u00fan m\u00e1s fuerte. Apoderarse de Groenlandia ha sido una ambici\u00f3n de larga data del imperialismo estadounidense y es el logro m\u00e1s significativo que las fuerzas de Trump y el Partido Republicano pueden exhibir para ganar las elecciones de mitad de mandato de noviembre. El nivel de desconfianza mutua entre Estados Unidos y la UE ya ha cruzado el punto de no retorno. La UE es plenamente consciente de las consecuencias a las que conducir\u00e1 la disputa con Estados Unidos sobre Groenlandia. Esta es una de las razones por las que la UE est\u00e1 considerando seriamente una OTAN sin Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. La unidad y el fortalecimiento del campo antiimperialista y la aceleraci\u00f3n de la escalada plena de la Tercera Guerra Mundial<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si la cuesti\u00f3n de Groenlandia intensific\u00f3 las contradicciones entre Estados Unidos y la Uni\u00f3n Europea, la cuesti\u00f3n de Venezuela ha elevado las contradicciones entre el imperialismo estadounidense y el campo antiimperialista. La primera contribuye a la divisi\u00f3n dentro del campo imperialista, mientras que la segunda contribuye a la unidad del campo antiimperialista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La administraci\u00f3n Trump afirma que su secuestro del presidente leg\u00edtimo de Venezuela, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, es \u201caplicaci\u00f3n de la ley\u201d, pero todos excepto la facci\u00f3n de Trump reconocen que se trata de una violaci\u00f3n flagrante de la Carta de la ONU y del derecho internacional. En respuesta, la administraci\u00f3n Trump ha llegado al extremo de retirarse de agencias de la ONU e incluso proponer abiertamente la retirada total de la ONU, junto con la creaci\u00f3n de \u201cotra ONU\u201d. Esto indica que la cuesti\u00f3n de Venezuela tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 amplificando las contradicciones dentro del campo imperialista. De hecho, otros jefes de Estados imperialistas, incluido Emmanuel Macron de Francia, han denunciado p\u00fablicamente el secuestro de Maduro por parte de Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las fuerzas de Trump consideran a Venezuela un pa\u00eds que debe ser firmemente asegurado bajo la estrategia de \u201cfortificaci\u00f3n del Hemisferio Occidental\u201d. Mientras secuestra al presidente Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, cuya adhesi\u00f3n a las ideolog\u00edas y principios de la independencia antiimperialista y la democracia popular es firme, Trump se centra en controlar las reservas de crudo de Venezuela\u2014las mayores del mundo\u2014para lograr el objetivo de reducir los precios del petr\u00f3leo, una tarea clave para ganar las elecciones de mitad de mandato de noviembre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El gobierno de Rodr\u00edguez, que sucedi\u00f3 al gobierno de Maduro, enfrenta la dif\u00edcil tarea de defender la soberan\u00eda nacional y, al mismo tiempo, llevar a cabo negociaciones con Estados Unidos. Una situaci\u00f3n similar a las experiencias de China y Vietnam tras el colapso de la Uni\u00f3n Sovi\u00e9tica y Europa del Este se repite hoy en Venezuela. Equilibrar principios y flexibilidad siempre es una tarea crucial y dif\u00edcil. Ahora, m\u00e1s que nunca, la solidaridad internacional en apoyo a la Revoluci\u00f3n Bolivariana de Venezuela es de suma importancia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El hecho de que Estados Unidos controle no solo el crudo venezolano sino tambi\u00e9n el crudo iran\u00ed constituye la amenaza m\u00e1s seria para China, cuyas mayores importaciones de petr\u00f3leo provienen de Ir\u00e1n. Si Estados Unidos puede controlar el petr\u00f3leo de estos dos pa\u00edses y manipular los precios internacionales del petr\u00f3leo, esto tambi\u00e9n asestar\u00eda un golpe significativo a Rusia. Por esta raz\u00f3n, es natural que China mantenga un nivel inusualmente alto de vigilancia respecto de los intentos liderados por Estados Unidos e Israel de una \u201crevoluci\u00f3n de color\u201d en Ir\u00e1n y apoye a Ir\u00e1n m\u00e1s firmemente que nunca. Dado que la operaci\u00f3n \u201cAbsolute Resolve\u201d se llev\u00f3 a cabo despu\u00e9s de la aparici\u00f3n de un grupo de ataque de portaaviones nucleares estadounidense en el Caribe, el despliegue de un grupo de ataque de portaaviones nucleares estadounidense en aguas cercanas a Ir\u00e1n en el Oc\u00e9ano \u00cdndico es, sin duda, una aventura militar altamente peligrosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ir\u00e1n es una potencia militar, distinta tanto de Venezuela como de Siria. Como potencia misil\u00edstica, Ir\u00e1n puede, en cualquier momento, devastar bases estadounidenses en Irak, Kuwait, Catar, los Emiratos \u00c1rabes Unidos y el este de Arabia Saudita en un instante utilizando diversos misiles y drones. En represalia por el asesinato por parte de Estados Unidos de Qasem Soleimani el 3 de enero de 2020, Ir\u00e1n atac\u00f3 bases militares estadounidenses en Irak. De igual modo, cuando Estados Unidos bombarde\u00f3 instalaciones nucleares iran\u00edes en junio de 2025, Ir\u00e1n respondi\u00f3 atacando con misiles bases estadounidenses en Catar. Israel carece ahora de misiles suficientes para sostener sistemas de defensa de alta, media y baja altitud, y Estados Unidos, con su capacidad de producci\u00f3n limitada, no puede reponer los misiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En otras palabras, un ataque con misiles bal\u00edsticos por parte de Ir\u00e1n podr\u00eda pulverizar instant\u00e1neamente bases militares estadounidenses en Asia Occidental (Oriente Medio) e Israel. En el proceso, incluso las mayores instalaciones petroleras de Arabia Saudita en la Provincia Oriental, incluido Aramco, podr\u00edan incendiarse. Por eso pa\u00edses como Arabia Saudita han declarado que no cooperar\u00e1n con ning\u00fan ataque estadounidense contra Ir\u00e1n. Sin embargo, un grupo de ataque de portaaviones nucleares estadounidense ha entrado en aguas cercanas a Ir\u00e1n, y fuerzas navales estadounidenses se est\u00e1n concentrando una tras otra. El mundo ha presenciado recientemente qu\u00e9 tipo de ataque sufri\u00f3 Venezuela despu\u00e9s de que fuerzas navales estadounidenses se reunieran en el Caribe a finales del a\u00f1o pasado. Ir\u00e1n mantiene ahora el m\u00e1ximo nivel de vigilancia y est\u00e1 preparado incluso para una \u201cguerra regional\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si Estados Unidos finalmente se atreve a lanzar una guerra contra Ir\u00e1n, se expandir\u00e1 a un conflicto que involucrar\u00e1 no solo a Asia Occidental sino tambi\u00e9n a sus aliados\u2014una guerra mundial. La Tercera Guerra Mundial, que comenz\u00f3 con la guerra en Ucrania en febrero de 2022, escalar\u00e1 a una guerra total mediante una guerra a gran escala en Ir\u00e1n. Este es un escenario que la administraci\u00f3n Trump y los chovinistas estadounidenses, plenamente conscientes de las enormes consecuencias humanas y financieras de la guerra, no desean. Si bien debemos prepararnos para el peor escenario de guerra, es m\u00e1s probable que el estallido pleno de la Tercera Guerra Mundial ocurra en Asia Oriental que en Asia Occidental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dado que Estados Unidos ha decidido concentrarse en el Hemisferio Occidental en respuesta a los cambios de poder de la era multipolar\u2014etiquetando esta pol\u00edtica como el \u201cCorolario Trump\u201d y el \u201cNeo-Monro\u00edsmo (Donroe\u00edsmo)\u201d y publicando la Estrategia de Defensa Nacional (NDS) 2026 tras la NSS 2025\u2014, es racional que China y la RPDC interpreten este giro como una \u201cNueva L\u00ednea Acheson\u201d. En otras palabras, se entiende que Estados Unidos, temiendo una guerra a gran escala con superpotencias nucleares y misil\u00edsticas como China y la RPDC, ha abandonado de hecho a Taiw\u00e1n y a la \u2018Rep\u00fablica de Corea\u2019 y se ha replegado desde la \u201cPrimera Cadena de Islas\u201d hacia la \u201cSegunda Cadena de Islas\u201d. En consecuencia, aumentan los an\u00e1lisis de que la \u201cIntegridad Territorial\u201d\u2014la aspiraci\u00f3n largamente acariciada de China y la RPDC\u2014es ahora inminente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De hecho, como respuesta a la presi\u00f3n militar estadounidense sobre Venezuela y a su intento de \u201crevoluci\u00f3n de color\u201d en Ir\u00e1n, China realiz\u00f3 con urgencia un ejercicio de cerco de tres d\u00edas alrededor de Taiw\u00e1n del 29 al 31 de diciembre de 2025, como un ensayo final. Tambi\u00e9n hay informes no confirmados de que la dirigencia china convoc\u00f3 una reuni\u00f3n del Comit\u00e9 Permanente del Bur\u00f3 Pol\u00edtico inmediatamente despu\u00e9s del incidente del 3 de enero para imponer sanciones financieras, petroleras y log\u00edsticas contra Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de que estallara el incidente de Venezuela, la RPDC llev\u00f3 a cabo el 4 de enero un lanzamiento de prueba del nuevo misil hipers\u00f3nico \u201cHwasong-11Ma\u201d. Se informa que este misil ser\u00e1 equipado en submarinos de propulsi\u00f3n nuclear en el futuro. Rusia, a la luz de estos diversos acontecimientos, tambi\u00e9n actu\u00f3 el 8 de enero atacando con el misil hipers\u00f3nico \u201cOreshnik\u201d la mayor instalaci\u00f3n de almacenamiento de gas de Europa, ubicada en el oeste de Ucrania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No es en absoluto una coincidencia que la RPDC y Rusia lanzaran misiles hipers\u00f3nicos\u2014las armas m\u00e1s temidas por Estados Unidos, la UE y la OTAN. Si la Tercera Guerra Mundial escalara plenamente, la RPDC y Rusia podr\u00edan suprimir f\u00e1cilmente a sus oponentes con estos formidables misiles hipers\u00f3nicos incluso sin armas nucleares t\u00e1cticas. Lo mismo se aplica a China. Naturalmente, si la situaci\u00f3n b\u00e9lica se vuelve desfavorable, tambi\u00e9n podr\u00edan equipar estos misiles con ojivas nucleares t\u00e1cticas. El contenido de \u201cselecci\u00f3n y concentraci\u00f3n\u201d delineado en la NSS 2025 y la NDS 2026 debe interpretarse como el resultado de la seria deliberaci\u00f3n de la administraci\u00f3n Trump sobre estas realidades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El secuestro por el imperialismo estadounidense del presidente Nicol\u00e1s Maduro en Venezuela y su intento de \u201crevoluci\u00f3n de color\u201d en Ir\u00e1n est\u00e1n acelerando extraordinariamente el despertar y la solidaridad no solo de naciones y fuerzas antiimperialistas en Am\u00e9rica Latina sino tambi\u00e9n del campo antiimperialista a escala global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As\u00ed como los fascistas en 1936 trazaron flechas de agresi\u00f3n desde Espa\u00f1a hacia Francia, Europa Occidental y Europa Oriental, el imperialismo de 2026 est\u00e1 trazando su direcci\u00f3n de ataque desde Venezuela hacia Cuba, Centroam\u00e9rica y Sudam\u00e9rica. Al identificar a Cuba como el siguiente objetivo despu\u00e9s de Venezuela en Centroam\u00e9rica, Estados Unidos asfixia la econom\u00eda cubana bloqueando a fondo las l\u00edneas de importaci\u00f3n de petr\u00f3leo desde Venezuela y Rusia. As\u00ed como las Brigadas Internacionales gritaron la consigna \u201c\u00a1No pasar\u00e1n!\u201d en Espa\u00f1a, debemos hacer lo mismo en Venezuela hoy. Si la Revoluci\u00f3n Bolivariana de Venezuela colapsa, un efecto domin\u00f3 de contrarrevoluci\u00f3n\u2014un turbulento avance de la \u201cmarea azul\u201d\u2014barrer\u00e1 Centro y Sudam\u00e9rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si China y la RPDC en Asia Oriental abandonan la pol\u00edtica de \u201cpaciencia estrat\u00e9gica\u201d y deciden llevar a cabo las guerras en Taiw\u00e1n y la \u2018ROK\u2019, ello forzar\u00e1 inevitablemente un cambio en las pol\u00edticas de \u201cpaciencia estrat\u00e9gica\u201d de Rusia e Ir\u00e1n. Es altamente probable que el estallido pleno de la Tercera Guerra Mundial comience en el teatro de Asia Oriental, lo que transformar\u00e1 por completo el panorama de guerras locales y regionales a escala global. En Asia Occidental, el \u201cEje de la Resistencia\u201d se expandir\u00e1 y ser\u00e1 Israel\u2014no Ir\u00e1n\u2014quien reciba un golpe decisivo; mientras tanto, un efecto domin\u00f3 de revoluci\u00f3n barrer\u00e1 Am\u00e9rica Latina, trayendo una \u201cmarea roja\u201d que supere la \u201cmarea rosa\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siguiendo su conclusi\u00f3n predeterminada, Estados Unidos responder\u00e1 interviniendo moderadamente en el Hemisferio Oriental mientras se repliega gradualmente, pero luchar\u00e1 desesperadamente por mantener su hegemon\u00eda en el Hemisferio Occidental a toda costa. Aunque Estados Unidos pueda describir esto como una \u201cretirada ordenada\u201d, en realidad las tropas estadounidenses desplegadas por el mundo se ver\u00e1n reducidas a prisioneros de las fuerzas antiimperialistas, lo que supondr\u00e1 una cat\u00e1strofe total para Estados Unidos. Estados Unidos intentar\u00e1 salvar al menos el Hemisferio Occidental tal como se describe en la NSS 2025, pero no podr\u00e1 revertir la marea ya inclinada. Al final, la justicia prevalecer\u00e1; con el golpe final del campo antiimperialista, Am\u00e9rica Latina se convertir\u00e1 en el cementerio del imperialismo estadounidense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump no comprende realmente lo que ha cometido. Puesto que a\u00fan cree que Estados Unidos es una superpotencia y est\u00e1 obsesionado con la arrogancia, cometiendo actos de violencia, \u00bfc\u00f3mo podr\u00eda ser posible para \u00e9l un pensamiento racional? Incluso ahora, la \u00fanica manera para Trump y sus fuerzas de prolongar su vida pol\u00edtica es primero dejar de intervenir en los asuntos del Hemisferio Oriental\u2014en particular, retirando las bases militares estadounidenses dispersas por el Hemisferio Oriental y expulsando permanentemente de la regi\u00f3n a los grupos de ataque de portaaviones, que no son m\u00e1s que presas de los misiles hipers\u00f3nicos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adem\u00e1s, deben darse cuenta lo antes posible de lo necio e imprudente que es el plan de apoderarse de M\u00e9xico y otras naciones latinoamericanas\u2014una estrategia basada en la fortificaci\u00f3n del Hemisferio Occidental que va en contra de la era de la independencia antiimperialista y la democracia popular. Y deben cesar de inmediato todas las provocaciones militares y el saqueo econ\u00f3mico. De lo contrario, los chovinistas estadounidenses terminar\u00e1n siendo denunciados como \u201cotro Estado profundo\u201d y seguir\u00e1n los pasos de los Globalistas agonizantes hacia la destrucci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las fuerzas de Trump y los chovinistas estadounidenses deben ver correctamente la tendencia predominante e interrumpir de inmediato su conducta temeraria de actuar como un \u201cg\u00e1nster internacional\u201d, yendo m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del papel de \u201cpolic\u00eda internacional\u201d. Como demuestran la historia y la realidad, los due\u00f1os de este mundo son los pueblos. Cualquier acci\u00f3n que convierta en enemigos al pueblo de Estados Unidos y al resto de la humanidad solo regresar\u00e1 como un bumer\u00e1n que golpea el propio cuello. El fin del efecto domin\u00f3 que comenz\u00f3 con la administraci\u00f3n Trump es un mundo en el que el pueblo se convierta en el verdadero due\u00f1o\u2014es revoluci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English\u00a0\/\u00a0Spanish [English] Trump\u2019s Dominoes Stephen Cho | Coordinator of the Korean International Forum and Organizer of the World Anti-imperialist Platform The world is in turmoil due to the domino effect that began with Donald Trump.
