History's ironies have a way of rhyming. The "shared values" world order that underpinned Atlantic unity is now unravelling in a way that feels like a modern-day echo of the Sino-Soviet split.
Vance's Munich speech, in its own way, was akin to Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalinism. It's the moment when Western unity was visibly shattered.
Washington Consensus gave way to trade wars, cultural divide, and NATO grumbles. Marx's quip about history repeating as farce feels apt.
