In the realm of geo-politics there is a much adieu about consensus, multilateralism and unilateralism all in relation to global hegemonic power of the United States of America. The EU has been looked at as a viable competitor to the National Interests of America. If Charles Kupchan is correct then that moniker may fade.
How that will work for or against American National Interests is something I am not sure about. Russia still wants to be a World Player, so there might be some designs to offer alliances to European nations that do not like America. It is not unheard of in Europe's history. Russia has allied itself with Britain against France in the Napoleonic Wars. Russia has allied itself with Germany off and on in both WWI and WWII. If Europe fragments along nationalistic lines, the only thing that might unite them is a growing dislike for Mohammedan immigrants.
It will be interesting how the International political game of National Interests will play out. Who will align with who and what role Islamofascism will play in those alignments? Remember the Appeasers may try a hook-up with Islamofascists merely for oil. Oil is the principle economy cog internationally at the present.
But if oil/petroleum dependence is lessened by inventive alternatives, then what will happen? So many roads to choose; the end in mind is to far away to make the rational choice on the road to travel.

As a Christian you no doubt are aware of the prophecy in Revelation that shows the Nations making war on religion.
Revelation 17:16 16 And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.
So in terms of geopolitics we see the nations turning their anger on religion. In America we see that the judiciary is pre-occupied with seeing to it that God is not a part of public life. In many public places today God or Jesus cannot be represented. This is called politically correctness. America and its allies are waging a war on terror which is in effect a war on Islam, or will shortly become one. The Anglo/American alliance, often identified as Christian in its underpinnings is making war on Islam. In the west, the gadfly that is organized religion, will be abolished or seriously hamstrung by judicial fiat; ie. making public worship illegal because of the trouble it apparently causes. In the east and elsewhere religion will be abolished by force, because culturally this is more expedient.
What are your thoughts on that?
I think it is complicated, however I tend to follow your way of thinking. I suspect the eventual revelation of the anti-Christ will be that person perceived to solve the problems between Mohammedans, Judaism and what is left of Christianity (Western liberalism predominating the future).
Yes. That makes sense.
We shall see.
