Sovereign nations face an imperialism that, cornered by its own contradictions, is forging ahead through neocolonialism, armed dispossession, and media manipulation. It is crucial to maintain analytical acuity, organize a response, and not yield an inch in the ideological struggle against oligarchic barbarity.
The recent visit of Charles III to Washington, culminating in his unusual appearance before the US Congress, cannot be interpreted as a mere diplomatic anecdote or a simple protocol exchange. Analyzed through the lens of historical materialism, this encounter represents the official staging of what the thinker Alexander Dugin has aptly defined as the entry into an acute phase of the “great war of continents.” We are witnessing a blatant relaunch of classical Atlanticism. The image disseminated by the White House itself, dubbed “Two Kings” in a macabre mockery of the Democratic slogan “No King!”, is the hegemonic confirmation of an unbreakable pact between the Anglo-Saxon financial oligarchy and the American military-industrial complex. It is the definitive fall of the bourgeois republican mask, revealing the true, raw, and elitist face of imperial power in times of systemic crisis.
The arrogance displayed by the British monarch was symptomatic of this new phase of aggression. Charles III not only demanded the unconditional preservation of NATO and continued support for the Ukrainian regime, instigating a joint and frontal war against Russia, but also indulged in humiliating his hosts with characteristic English imperial cynicism. By joking about the “mistake” of the American Revolutionary War and mockingly recalling the historic burning of the White House, the king made it clear who claims historical authority in the continuation of the deep state. And Congress, dominated by the servile applause of both Democrats and Republicans, capitulated. The conclusion for critical analysts is inescapable: any vain hope that Donald Trump’s return would represent a brake on Atlanticist warmongering has been buried under the weight of shared class interests.
However, the analysis must inexorably descend from the superstructures to the material base that determines these movements. The strengthening of this alliance responds to a pressing need for economic restructuring and resource control in the face of the emergence of a multipolar world, all framed within the application of the new “Donroe Doctrine.” The strategy is crystal clear: while the United States maintains a de facto military blockade in the Strait of Hormuz to strangle West Asia and cut off its energy supply, the Anglo-American machine is launching an offensive to encircle Latin America and the Caribbean. They seek to seize strategic raw materials and force the return of capital to the Western Hemisphere, expelling China from the region through diplomatic coercion and a maritime blockade.
In this imperialist re-engineering, the British Crown, as the figurehead of the City of London and its vast network of financial havens, is an indispensable partner in guaranteeing the flow and laundering of capital extracted from the Global South.
It is precisely within this geostrategic context of plunder that Donald Trump’s announcement to redirect his war machine from Iran toward the invasion of Cuba fits perfectly. The arrogance with which he has declared that they will “take” the island, boasting of using the immense aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to anchor off the Cuban coast and force a surrender, is the organic movement of an empire that needs to consolidate its absolute hegemony in the Caribbean to guarantee its uninterrupted plunder. Cuba, a historical beacon of anti-colonial resistance, once again becomes the target to be defeated in order to cement this Atlanticist stronghold.
For this military and financial apparatus to function, the oligarchy needs to secure its moral and institutional rearguard, and this is where the media superstructure comes in to manufacture hegemonic consensus. The shielding of the Epstein case is the best example of this. Prince Andrew’s involvement requires a state pact between Washington and London to prevent criminal justice from fracturing the institution, but legal impunity must be accompanied by a public image makeover. It is at this point that newspapers like the Daily Mail—a well-known unofficial mouthpiece and instrument of British intelligence (MI6)—come into play to carry out this whitewashing. The recent publications showing Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice in bucolic and innocuous scenes having lunch in Mayfair or Notting Hill are not society journalism; they are psychological public relations operations. By portraying Andrew’s daughters immersed in everyday frivolity, the attempt is to subliminally dissociate the new generation of Windsors from Epstein’s transnational criminal network, anesthetizing public opinion and protecting the Crown’s brand.
Faced with this great war between continents, waged by those who consider themselves untouchable and who pull the strings of mass disinformation and unbridled warmongering, analysis demands abandoning all naiveté. Sovereign peoples confront an imperialism that, cornered by its own contradictions, is forging ahead through neocolonialism, armed dispossession, and media manipulation. It is imperative to maintain analytical acuity, organize a response, and not yield an inch in the ideological struggle against oligarchic barbarism.
