Incorruptibility Urbic et Orbi

 I would like to offer a personal reflection – it could be characterized as a reflection by analogy – on a socio-political phenomenon that is taking place on a wide scale and which, if it were to occur within our national borders, the restoration of the status quo ante would be, in addition to being painful and long-lasting, doubtful.

Introductory, as a first digression, in the current period of time, the harbinger of what Graham Allison described as Thucydides' Trap is taking place in the American continental complex, but indirectly, through the so-called third field, where Venezuela dominates as a proxy competitor (on the Monroe Doctrine - American operation Absolute Resolve - 03/01/2026). The rebirth and establishment of American omnidirectional hard power, especially with regard to its foreign policy, has become indisputably evident, under the presidency of Donald Trump.

At this point, a second digression, I interpreted the transfer of captured President Nicolás Maduro aboard the American warship USS Iwo Jima as a symbolic parallel, of both strategic and psychological superiority, with the raising of the American flag, in February 1945, on Mount Suribachi on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima, where Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph was taken.

Moving slowly to our main topic, beyond the global hard power emanating from the dominant Western actor, namely the USA, and as we could say, regarding the United States itself, in contrast to this power, a megatrend of racial, religious, cultural and identity alteration is taking place in the Western world, from within, masked by the innocence of a lymphatic equality in the current historical time of inclusive frenzy. This megatrend of existential decay, which is diffused at the level of a geopolitical supersystem, is being unthinkably tolerated, by a multitude of Western political actors, as a required purgatory test of atonement, fueled by a kind of Western guilt syndrome.

Coming to the main topic, without going into an analysis of the objective purpose of the political-religious dynamics of Islam in third countries or the more general religious interpretation of geopolitics, I refer to the involvement and promotion of actors of different races and religions in political and social positions. Dominant examples of this are the mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani (sworn in on 01/01/2026, first term) and the mayor of London Sadiq Khan (sworn in on 07/05/2024, third term). Let us not forget that both the USA and Britain, in addition to being crucial pillars of Western defense and economic power, are, among other things, also cradles of Western soft power. In fact, any culturally and socially diverse additions to the Western edifice, especially within the USA and Britain, which enjoy the support of applied communism and the left, exert structural pressures, in the form of dominoes, on other nation-states as well.

In an era where geographical distances have been annihilated under the dominant form of cyberspace, the differentiation of internal and external events and issues is hazy, everything is interconnected and overlapping, like a geopolitical quantum entanglement, with the so-called fifth phalanx in full swing, aiming to normalize the respective internal vulnerabilities.

In this case, a third digression, one might wonder if the citizens of New York have erased from their memory the burdensome day of 9/11.^th September 11, 2001. The answer is no, but the current (global) political-social construction flourished (and continues) within a range of accepted views, which were based (and continue) on the viability of the theories of the culture of "Woke-ism". Of course, the USA, especially under the presidency of Donald Trump, appears to have the necessary resilience dynamics to recover quickly and internally, as they have strong mechanisms for absorbing vulnerabilities. Of course, this does not apply to all states.

Concluding and reaching the final desired conclusion, as is evident from the very favorable nature of the international system and its actors, and as Greece is a small state of reduced sovereign power, we must, without being hindered by fictitiously reprehensible sentiments, preserve, first and foremost, while there is still time, our national constitution, which entails internal strength and security, as if the balance is disrupted, through the dissolution of the identity and cultural constitution, we will enter a point of no return (event horizon).
