Multiculturalism may well be our saviour, wresting us out from the straitjacket of our history, thrusting the old continent into an environment where other ethnicities, less cynical and more positive, will play a big role in its future.
Loretta Napoleoni

WHAT DOES THRUSTING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Thrust

Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's second and third laws. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system. The force applied on a surface in a direction perpendicular or normal to the surface is called thrust. Force, and thus thrust, is measured in the International System of Units as the newton, and represents the amount needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 metre per second squared. In mechanical engineering, force orthogonal to the main load is referred to as thrust.
