For many years \u2014 for decades \u2014 we lived inside a grand narrative that claimed the world, despite its contradictions, was slowly moving toward a more just, more humane, more law-governed order.<\/p>\n

A narrative that said democracy, human rights, and international law were no longer just slogans, but had become the \u201crules of the game\u201d governing relations between states \u2014 rules that restrain power and grant the weak a minimum level of protection.<\/p>\n

What we are witnessing today is not a temporary crisis in that system, but its full exposure.<\/p>\n

This article is not an attack on the West, nor a defense of the East, nor nostalgia for an old order, nor a justification of a new tyranny. It is an attempt to understand how the illusion collapsed, and how the global order shifted from one that claimed values to one that openly proclaims power \u2014 from moral hypocrisy to naked brutality.<\/p>\n

The rise of Donald Trump was a revealing moment \u2014 not because he created this reality, but because he said it and acted it openly, without shame and without apology.<\/p>\n

What came after Trump is even more dangerous: a world without reference points, without red lines, without comforting illusions.<\/p>\n

In this article, I do not ask: Who is at fault?
I ask the harder question: What remains of the global order? And where is humanity heading?<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you, Trump<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For you removed the veil from many eyes and minds \u2014 the eyes of na\u00efve politicians who long believed in democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, defended them, and paid personal prices for their positions, assuming that the world, despite its stumbles, was moving in a broadly moral direction.<\/p>\n

We knew \u2014 or pretended not to know \u2014 from British, French, and European colonialism in the Middle East, to China, to Africa, to the Americas and Australia: from direct occupation to economic colonialism, from control of energy and wealth through \u201cmodern\u201d means, to erasing countries from maps, to exterminating entire peoples, to planting traitorous rulers in most of the world.<\/p>\n

All of this was in front of us.
But we closed our eyes \u2014 sometimes out of good faith, sometimes out of na\u00efvet\u00e9, and sometimes \u2014 let us be honest \u2014 out of fear.<\/p>\n

Until you arrived.<\/p>\n

You did not beautify. You did not hide. You did not pretend.
You said out loud what they used to say in secret.
You did openly what they used to do in the shadows.<\/p>\n

You were clear \u2014 in your cruelty, in your political vulgarity, in your bigotry, in your naked materialism, in your immorality, and in your pride in all of it.<\/p>\n

Then came the peak: the kidnapping of a head of state, open talk of annexing and occupying other countries, the tearing up of everything the United States once claimed about free trade, the shameless cancellation of international agreements, and blatant racism inside America itself \u2014 deporting citizens, hunting others, arresting people simply on suspicion.<\/p>\n

There was no more pretense.
There was no more mask.<\/p>\n

I imagine \u2014 in fact, I am nearly certain \u2014 that the model of assassinating leaders and kidnapping presidents will be reproduced elsewhere, now that \u201cthe leader of the free world\u201d has given the green light.<\/p>\n

And I imagine that authoritarian rulers in the Global South will grow more brutal, more confident, and more free \u2014 as long as their role model, Mr. Trump, the new global thug, has granted permission.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Netanyahu will undoubtedly remain your favored leader, because when crimes are committed in the name of power, they become policy \u2014 and when they are committed in the name of an ally, they become virtue.<\/p>\n

I am, by nature, an optimist. But what I see today is dangerous and disturbing.
We are witnessing an explicit return to the law of the jungle: no law, no restraints, no governing values \u2014 not even moral hypocrisy to soften the ugliness.<\/p>\n

So yes, thank you, Trump \u2014 not because you did the right thing, but because you exposed the lie completely, tore off the mask, and forced the world to see itself in the mirror without makeup.<\/p>\n

International law was never truly just \u2014 but it claimed to be.
And that claim, however weak, was a restraint on power, a space for protest, and a minimum degree of order.<\/p>\n

Today, that claim is over.
Violating the law is no longer the exception \u2014 it is the rule.
Sovereignty is no longer a principle \u2014 it is a temporary privilege granted and withdrawn by great powers.<\/p>\n

The law has not been abolished \u2014 it has been emptied of meaning.
It is used when it serves the powerful, ignored when it restricts them, and reinterpreted when it exposes them.<\/p>\n

Thus the world has shifted from a system where weapons were (at least formally) subject to law, to one where law is rewritten according to the balance of weapons.<\/p>\n

\n

The collapse of democracy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Democracy did not fall because it failed.
It fell because it was used without ethics.<\/p>\n

It was transformed from a human value into a political weapon \u2014 raised against enemies and buried when it comes to allies.<\/p>\n

Repressive regimes are tolerated, peoples are condemned, elections are celebrated here and demonized there.
The standard is no longer the will of the people, but the location of the state on the geopolitical map.<\/p>\n

Thus democracy lost its meaning \u2014 for those oppressed in its name, for those defrauded in its name, and by those who created it and deceived us about its sustainability.<\/p>\n

When the small tyrant sees that the big tyrant is not held accountable, his last traces of hesitation disappear.
Repression no longer needs rhetoric.
Arrest no longer needs justification.
Corruption no longer needs denial.<\/p>\n

The deal is clear: loyalty in exchange for immunity, silence in exchange for survival \u2014 globally and locally.<\/p>\n

Thus tyranny enters a new phase: tyranny without anxiety, without fear, without even hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

\n

The economy of the jungle: the end of \u201cethical globalization\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Globalization did not fall because it was unjust \u2014 but because it pretended to be ethical.<\/p>\n

When free trade conflicted with the interests of the powerful, it collapsed instantly.<\/p>\n

Sanctions are no longer political tools \u2014 they are weapons of mass starvation.
Markets are no longer open \u2014 they are fully politicized.<\/p>\n

The economy is no longer a field of competition \u2014 it is a battlefield without visible blood.<\/p>\n

\n

Israel as the exposed model of the new order<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Israel is no longer an exception within the global system \u2014 it has become its clearest model.<\/p>\n

Occupation without apology.
Killing without accountability.
Turning the victim into the criminal and the criminal into the victim.<\/p>\n

What used to be done with shame is now done with confidence.
What used to require justification now requires none.<\/p>\n

When occupation becomes the model, some states are no longer exceptions \u2014 they are the system\u2019s most honest expression.<\/p>\n

Occupation without apology.
Killing without accountability.<\/p>\n

\n

We are not living in chaos.
We are living in a new order being formed \u2014 one without shared values, without binding law, without comforting illusions.<\/p>\n

The question is no longer: Will the world return to what it was?
But rather: Can humanity build a more just system without lies?<\/p>\n

This article offers no answer.
But it refuses to be complicit through silence.<\/p>\n

A final word:<\/strong>
The danger is not in the fall of the illusion \u2014
it is in becoming accustomed to ugliness after it has been exposed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13425,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13424\/revisions\/13425"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
