Johnson. Hawk or Dove?

 Johnson. Hawk or Dove? Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Although the presence of an ambassador as the future Trumpist envoy has generated alarm among the analysts of the inner circle and some specialists, the truth is that -with all that risk-, there are also probabilities that Mexico will maintain its sovereignty and capacity to govern to a minimum. The North American military interventions have been multiple, although, with the exception of the loss of half of the national territory in the 19th century; afterwards, there have not been conflicts in the same proportion. It is true that many conservative groups would be delighted with a military intervention by the United States in Mexico; however, this would be unthinkable in the immediate scenarios because, it has been pointed out in the perspective of authors as ambivalent as Pablo González Casanova, George Friedman and Samuel Huntington, the most probable thing is that North America will lose a war against the many Mexicos. The...

The Mexican Hispanic Right is Strengthening

 The Mexican Hispanic Right  is Strengthening Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Geopolitics is increasing its degree of uncertainty and there are various events that support the perspective of such estrangement. However, it is worth reflecting on the strategies of the Mexican right regarding the economic division of blocks that is coming. Although the meetings in Argentina and Spain may promote different right-wing approaches, in reality, geopolitics marks that the pro-American right and the Hispanic right are separating or, at least, have different strategies. For example, it is worth highlighting that the European Union and Mercosur have made an economic agreement that deepens their relations. This should also be interpreted as the tacit recognition of the exclusion of Europeans in North America as Donald Trump has maintained. CPAC and Neos pose severe differences with Anglo-Saxon culture and liberalism. The pro-Yankee right is stagnating in the political processes of our cou...

Trump and the reconstruction of the multipolar balance

 Trump and the reconstruction of the multipolar balance Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The appearance of the Russian weapon Oreshnik represents the recognition of the importance of weapons of mass destruction for geopolitical control. The balance that developed during the Cold War can be reestablished by Donald Trump if the coexistence of multiple civilizations is implemented in a mandatory manner. The failure of liberal capitalist democracy and modernity implies that, outside the United States, the values ​​of Western culture do not find fertile ground. There are different and multiple modernities, even evidence that modernity will fail in certain societies. Therefore, globalization must be slowed down, adjusted to the historical speeds of each society. Oreshnik resurrects the fear of nuclear cataclysm, that is, the extermination of large proportions of humanity. Not only does fear correspond to the type of weapons that Russia can produce but also to the response of its adversar...

Donald Trump's Political Class

 Donald Trump's Political Class Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Cowboys, engineers and warriors are considered the paradigms of American empiricism according to George Friedman; this is how the characters that Donald Trump has called to integrate into his presidential administration can be classified. Of course, it is difficult to describe the approximately twenty thousand subjects that Trumpism is including to mobilize the governmental elephant; in addition, it is also important to consider the groups of Christian nationalism that play a preponderant role in resuming the MAGA-Heritage agenda in 2028 and being the replacement of the silent WASP majority that has positioned itself as the compass of the Republican electorate. Just as in Mexico the technocratic-neoliberal group has been displaced by the popular nationalist current, in the United States Trumpism has been identified with the nationalist and hegemonic perspectives that seek the regeneration of American ideals in the fac...

Latinos for Donald Trump

 Latinos for Donald Trump Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Some of the aspects that have been established in the electoral analysis after Donald Trump's victory are manifested in the hypothetical Latino vote for the Republicans. Some critics consider that the preferences of various Hispanic American groups living in the United States for Trumpism imply errors of consideration similar to self-sabotage or suicide. However, it is also true that there is an old Hispanic tendency for the Republicans since Nixon and Reagan that, because of its shame, in some cases, is not wanted to be noticed and much less studied. The anti-Castroites of Miami have their reasons for preferring the Republicans; but there are other causes and thoughts. Beyond the idea of ​​closing the door or removing the ladder, authors such as Samuel Huntington expose data and situations that allow us to notice changes in Hispanic American culture as well as a bumpy process of assimilation to the United States by Latinos...

Eduardo Verástegui and the Maga in México

 Eduardo Verástegui and the MAGA in Mexico Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Christian nationalism in our country is related to the pro-Yankee right. The latter is represented by Eduardo Verástegui and the project of Republican Mexico, both ideas rose with few followers and a weak electoral effect in the last electoral process. The efforts could not reach the legal threshold at the national and local level. However, Christian nationalism and republican identification are persistent. There is a possibility that Eduardo Verástegui will become a channel of intermediation with Donald Trump; however, for the Mexican right to remain close to this element, it is important to identify the goals of Trumpism and if there are still conditions for the scheme proposed by the pro-Yankee right in the last elections in our country. Republican Mexico and Verástegui supposed a strategy of incorporation into the United States that linked the dollarization of the country, the fight against drug traffic...

Morena and political liberalization

Morena and political liberalization  Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero  Although there is talk of a change of regime in our country, the transfuguism or migration of PRI and PAN members to Morena predominates, and with it, the survival of the old regime. José Antonio Crespo proposed in his analyses during the PAN presidential alternation that the Mexican transition was characterized mainly by political liberalization rather than by a deepening of democracy and consolidation. Liberalization was controlled by the revolutionary coalition and, given the facts of the judicial reform, it can be said that the hypothesis proposed by Crespo is valid. It seems that revolutionary nationalism never lost control of the political and economic changes in the country and, even now, it regains power to return the legal framework to the meager rules prior to perestroika and glasnot that neoliberalism meant. The supreme power in the country is represented by Morena; or whatever that means. It is ...
