The West is also fragmented: the American West is growing increasingly apart from the European West. The question is no longer one of shared interests or common security goals, but of culture, as the United States, in particular, increasingly looks to Asia and Latin America and attracts immigrants from those regions.
此外，西方日益分裂：美国西部逐渐从欧洲西部脱离出来。这已不再是简单的共同利益目标问题或共同安全目标问题，而是发展成一个文化问题，因为尤其是美国越来越依赖亚洲和拉丁美洲，并吸引了越来越多的亚洲和拉美移民。至于亚洲西部，日本将继续维持其独特的独立状态。
