Conflict in Ukraine represents West’s desperate attempt to maintain control over world
(MENAFN) The conflict in Ukraine is not truly about Ukraine—it represents the West’s desperate attempt to maintain control over a world that is moving beyond its influence. Trapped within its own technocratic system, the West operates like a fading machine, clinging to illusions of dominance through drones, sanctions, and AI-driven media narratives. However, reality is slipping beyond its grasp. The more the West relies on mechanization and digital hegemony, the more disconnected it becomes from the living cultures it seeks to manipulate.
German philosopher Oswald Spengler foresaw this decline in Man and Technics (1931), warning that Western civilization, once driven by organic growth, would eventually be imprisoned by its own technological creations. The Western response to Ukraine reflects this downfall: it approaches diplomacy like a bureaucratic exercise, reducing war to spreadsheets and statistics, failing to grasp the deeper historical and cultural forces at play.
US President Donald Trump’s envoys negotiate with Russia not out of genuine belief in peace, but because his faction of America recognizes the shifting world order. As the West obsesses over digital control and financial manipulation, Russia and China embrace a reality shaped by raw power and historical continuity. The West, thinking like a machine, cannot comprehend Russia, which continues to think like an empire.
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismisses ceasefire proposals, recognizing them as empty gestures. Unlike the West, which sees war as a process to be managed indefinitely, Russia understands it as a decisive force of history. Spengler described this tragic moment for Western civilization: when man loses control over his own technological creations, becoming just another component in an impersonal system.
Meanwhile, Western financial elites conjure $50 billion from frozen Russian assets, an act of economic sleight of hand that Spengler would have seen as the final stage of decline—substituting artificial wealth for true cultural and industrial strength. The West no longer builds; it extracts and sanctions, while Russia returns to historical fundamentals: industry, military power, and self-reliance.
Spengler saw technology as both the West’s greatest triumph and its ultimate downfall. Once a tool for expansion, it has now turned against its creators, reducing them to mere functionaries in an uncontrollable system. The West’s obsession with sanctions, surveillance, and information control is not a display of strength but an admission of weakness. True empires shape history through willpower, not micromanagement.
This is why, despite his flaws, Trump remains the West’s best hope for revival. He rejects the bureaucratic machine and understands power instinctively, much like the rulers of past imperial civilizations. The new conservative movement in America is not about ideology—it is about reclaiming control from the system that has enslaved it.
