The whole this is in my opinion quite meandering, but does bring up some interesting points, although doesn't feel like it really goes anywhere with them.
Or are we to see a “Last Legion” of white men head off to fight for a regime that they know despises them just because the barbarians at the gates are even more unsavoury than the parasites within?
This seems to be the core point, so let's start here. I think the big assumption is that the current powers are doing anything but speed up the spread of the barbarians.
At the very least the smart move for Power to make now would be to lean into populism and make legitimate and coherent Western foreign policy. But that would assume we’re ruled by sane people.
See, the author knows what's going on, but doesn't quite reach.
My take is, when our own leaders are the ones leading the replacement charge against us, they are not only the enemy, but the closest enemy, with the most influence. We can whine about Russia, China, Iran, and the rest. The author is right that they aren't our friends. However, they don't have anywhere near as much influence over us as our own leaders do...and much of the power those foreign entities do have over us, they only hold because our own leaders let them, due to corruption or other issues.
So the whole idea that the current system needs to be propped up because other entities hate us doesn't really get off the ground for me, since most of the problems are filtering through them anyway. Powers on the other side of the globe will never have as much influence as the powers in our own countries. So if those powers in our own countries are our enemies, there's not much point defending them.
The most clear and present danger to us is our own governments. Propping those governments up and granting them legitimacy because other governments much further away also hate us doesn't make much sense at all.
Russia, Iran, and China will never genocide us, despite not being our friends or allies. Our own governments might are.
Agreed. I would rather let the federal government collapse and china try to invade - an honest and identifiable enemy is a hundred times easier to defeat than backstabbing from inside your own walls.

Let the tranny government fight the invaders, get rid of both when sufficiently weakened
