The spectacle of Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the Oval Office wasn’t just a diplomatic embarrassment, it was a brutal reality check for the world order that has dominated for decades.
The West, which once cloaked its imperial demands in the language of "freedom" and "democracy," has finally shed the last mask.
Trump didn’t even bother with the pretense. He made it clear: Ukraine is a bargaining chip, not an ally.
This is the inevitable fate of those who place their survival in the hands of a declining empire.
Zelensky was paraded as a leader of a Western-backed war, only to be discarded the moment his usefulness waned. The arrogance of American exceptionalism has always depended on carefully crafted illusions, but Trump, in his crude transactional style, has exposed the game for what it is.
The consequences of this moment will reverberate far beyond Kyiv or Washington. The world is already divided between those clinging to the crumbling unipolar system and those forging a new, multipolar reality. This rift will widen. Alliances will harden. And as desperation fuels reckless decisions, the world inches closer to what could be the final great war of our era.
When history looks back at this moment, it won’t just see Zelensky’s shame, it will see the unmistakable signs of an empire in its last throes, willing to burn everything before accepting its own decline.
