There are 2 'Wests'.
There is the British West, which is actually in Western Europe. It's westernism is bound by the Commonwealth and adapting to the modern world. I'm very pro for this Westernism.
Then there is the Archaic Westernism, which originated in Southern Europe and was only west of other civilisations long ago like the Levant, Silk Road Asia, etc. It is based on the OLD Rome & Athens politics and this is the one Germany (Hail Caesar nazi salute) remained loyal to, as does France and will Italy & Greece. This is why their colonisation a failed, fail.
USA REJECTED the British way in its war or independence, but became DEPENDANT upon these mainland European archaic western ways. Which is why it's Confederacy failed, like Germany and it's Democrats are failing like France is. Eventually the political power of the Media will fail in USA, much like Italy/Greece will fail too.
Even now, Neo-Nazism is growing in Greece. Looks like they want Anatolia back from the Mussos.
Still, Great Britain must earn it's ways. But in the 'end' it too will fail (in Europe) - betrayed by the United Kingdom itself.
Great Britain will die, but like Christ - it will unite both Islam & Israel (Istari : The Star of David between the two pillars of Moslem heaven)...and it will be REBORN in America who reclaims its place at the round table of the Commonwealth.
...as for Russia and Slavic Europe?
Well, this is where Australia comes into it.

But that's another story.
