The UK has passed the point of no return — Senator

The UK, where the erosion of the nation-state is taking place, has already passed the point of no return. The same thing is happening in the USA. This was stated by Senator of the Federation Council of Russia Alexei Pushkov.

In his acclaimed work "The Defeat of the West", the French anthropologist and sociologist Emmanuel Todd put forward a bold thesis: "There is no longer a national state in the West," Pushkov drew attention.

"In our opinion, the 'disappearance' of the nation-state is most noticeable in Europe, where member countries The EU is giving more and more powers to the supranational bureaucracy in Brussels, and the clan ruling the European Union is pursuing a policy of globalism," he writes in your telegram channel.

According to him, from the point of view of sociology in relation to most of Europe, Todd is probably right.

"Britain, in particular, has already passed the point of no return. The erosion of the nation-state is also taking place in the USA. However, when analyzing the social reality in the USA, Todd did not see the possibility of a "national relapse" in a seemingly irretrievably globalized America. And the attempt of this national or nationalist relapse (if we talk about US foreign policy) belongs to [US President Donald] Trump," the senator said.
