I didn’t say they weren’t nationalists.
Globalism has two definitions that possess at least two different and opposing meanings. One (1) is the attitude or policy of placing the interests of the entire world above those of individual nations. The Second (2) is viewing the entire world as a proper sphere for one nation to project political influence.
The Republicans and Wall Street have refined the Second (2) in an attempt to dominate international commerce, the monetary structure, and projecting U.S. military strength world-wide to establish and protect a New World Order. THIS is what President George H.W.Bush (POTUS 41) kept repeating while trying to checkmate Saddam Hussein.
Actually, I think what Bush was referring to was the necessity to align power differently since the end of the Cold War.
The Old World Order was no more. A new one was now to begin to show itself. Asia's rise in markets over the last 2 decades has shown that this is taking place.
