In 1979, the Carter Administration extended formal diplomatic recognition to [[File:Cball-China.png]] the People's Republic of China now under the leadership of [[File:DengXiaoping.png]] Deng Xiaoping, for the first time, which led to a boom in trade between the two countries and even began a military partnership motivated by shared opposition to [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] Soviet and [[File:Hochi.png]] Vietnamese influence in South and South East Asia. Carter ended the policy of detente with the Soviet Union and began a period of military build-up, started a grain embargo, and initiated Operation Cyclone a decade-long expensive [[File:CIA.png]] CIA program that provided aid to [[File:Jihad.png]] mujahideen rebels in [[File:Cball-DRAfghanistan.png]] Afghanistan, in coordination with [[File:Cball-Pakistan.png]] Pakistan, [[File:Cball-Saudi.png]] Saudi Arabia, China, Israel, among other countries. |

The end of Carter's presidency was marked by the Iran hostage crisis, which began in 1979 during the Islamic Revolution when a group of [[File:Cball-Iran.png]] Iranians in support of [[File:Khom.png]] Ruhollah Khomeini stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took 66 Americans captive. While Carter vowed to secure the release of the hostages he refused the Iranians' demand for the return of the former leader of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi who lived in exile in the US. In an attempt to rescue the hostages, Carter launched Operation Eagle Claw in April 1980 which ended in disaster and the death of eight US soldiers and badly damaged Carter's reputation as a whole. US-Iran negotiations continued until an agreement was reached in January 1981. In return for releasing the 52 captives, Iran accepted over $7 billion in monetary compensation and the unfreezing of Iranian assets in the US. |

Jimmy Carter continues to enjoy an active political life after his presidency ended in 1981. In 1982, he founded the Carter Center, a non-governmental and non-profit organization with the purpose of advancing human rights and alleviating human suffering, in more than 80 countries. Among these efforts has been the contribution of the Carter Center working alongside the WHO to the near-eradication of Guinea worm disease. |

The Hungarian-American billionaire is notorious for Open Society Foundations (OSF) a grantmaking network founded and chaired by George Soros, himself. OSF is active in over 30 countries and financially supports civil society groups around the world, with a stated aim of advancing [[File:Krit.png]] justice, education, public health and [[File:Mediastocracy flair.png]] independent media. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s during the fall of communism, OSF played an important role helping various [[File:PostSoviet.png]] Eastern European countries transition from communist dictatorship to [[File:Cap.png]] free-market capitalism and [[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] liberal democracy. OSF lucrative activities across the world have gotten Soros into several feuds with various [[File:Sec.png]] dictators and strongmen such [[File:Mahathir.png]] Mahathir Mohamad in [[File:Cball-Malaysia.png]] Malaysia, [[File:FIDESZ.png]] Viktor Orban in [[File:Cball-Hungary.png]] Hungary, [[File: Erdoğanism.png]] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in [[File:ROT.png]] Turkey, [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] Xi Jinping in [[File:Cball-China.png]] China, [[File:Tatmadaw.png]] Min Aung Hlaing in [[File:Cball-Myanmar.png]] Myanmar, among countless other’s who accuse him of fomenting regime change on behalf of “Globalist Elites.” |

Carl Bildt is mostly known for his stances on foreign policy. He has constantly been a champion of European Integration, seeing the nation-state as an outdated concept and during his premiership negotiated Sweden's membership in [[File:Cball-EU.png]] the European Union. Like most Swedish right-wing politicians he's a strong supporter of NATO and has long called for Sweden to join the alliance. Yet he has come under scrutiny for his time as a mediator during the Yugoslav Wars when he opposed NATO intervention against the Bosnian Serb forces during the ongoing genocide against Bosnian Muslims, due to alleged business ties in the region. |

In 2000, Bildt joined Lundin Energy's board of directors, a company with oil interests in [[File:Cball-Ethiopia.png]] Ethiopia and [[File:Cball-Sudan.png]] Sudan. His 7 years at Lundin Energy made him a multimillionaire and has been accused of profiting from and being complicit in the crimes against humanity committed by [[File:NCP(Sudan).png]] Omar al-Bashir's dictatorship in Sudan.

While formerly highly regarded by fellow Moderate Party members for moving Sweden to the economic right and representing the country in the international area, Bildt's reputation within his own party has declined significantly in recent times. This is due to his [[File:AntiNation.png]] anti-nationalist and [[File:Antipop.png]] anti-populist views and his opposition to the Moderate Party's recent collaboration with the anti-immigrant [[File:SwedenDem.png]] Sweden Democrats due to growing [[File:Islamophobia.png]] Islamophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment within Swedish society. Bildt may be the sole member of his party who still supports a two-state solution to the [[File:Zio.png]] Israel/[[File: Cball-Palestine.png]] Palestine Conflict as most of the Moderate Party fully supports Israel's annexation of remaining Palestinian territories and his outspoken criticism of Israel has led to multiple accusations of [[File:Anti-Semitic.png]] anti-semitism. Bildt, unlike most Swedish politicians also supports maintaining diplomatic ties with [[File:Cball-Iran.png]] Iran and [[File:Cball-China.png]] China despite Sweden's less than stellar relations with the respective countries. |
