Just about any country or entity that rejects globalism will inevitably have ties with Russia's ruling class, which has also rejected globalism.
That is fine, though. Russia's oligarchy belongs to Russia alone. It is not a supra-national class, therefore it uses its influence not to subvert the interests of America or Britain, but the interests of the globalist class.
As far as the whole accusing the right-wing of fascism thing; I have never been one of those people for one, and the other thing is that conservatives do the same thing.
Actually that very book (
Liberal Fascism) was written in response to liberal use of the epithet 'fascist' to silence conservatives in the culture wars. Conservatives did not begin to use it until after they began losing said culture war. Jonah Goldberg's ideas are really a rehashing of John Talbot's, a liberal philosopher who believed that the far-right and the far-left are basically the same thing, an essentially totalitarian assault on free markets and open societies. Hannah Arendt and Karl Popper were also proponents of similar ideas.
Goldberg simply identified the people who are ruining civil society: left-wing progressivists who allow themselves to be co-opted by corporate interests in exchange for institutional influence. This kind co-operation between civil society, corporations, and the state is quite similar to the older definition of fascism as co-operation between the classes.
Interestingly enough there is a whole order of conspiracy theory about the recapitulation of fascism in the Judaeo-Masonic New World Order, or the polity frequently identified with the globalist empire of the Atlantic powers. People like to dismiss out of hand Alex Jones, but there are a lot of disturbing things potentially occurring in the military science community, in technological statecraft, biogenetic engineering/eugenics, etc., that he frequently brings attention to. The occult dimension of the globalist project isn't really that different from some of the more modestly esoteric doctrines of Nazism, particularly the belief in universal spiritual renewal through a new hierarchal social order.
Maybe the Americans and British just didn't want the Germans beating them to the punch?
She will not sign TPP into law.
Let's be honest, this is something that only wine moms believe.
There's a hint of desperation in Hillary's flip-flop on the TPP, which is difficult to trust when Obama is doing everything that he can to push it through.
The TPP is viewed by the Western political class as necessary to maintain a very large economic and military empire to restrain the Russians and Chinese. They don't view the Cold War as having ended with the fall of Communism, but as something that will only be resolved in the full liberal-democratic development of Russia and China. Since both Russia and China have rejected the globalist consensus while also exploiting it, a need has emerged for liberal nations to collectively protect their interests from the Eurasian Question, which is a kind of multi-polarity in the world caused by an overall decline in growth.
