 Global leaders are dreaming of a US-free world order. 

Do they stand a chance?

Guardian 2/22/26

"The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, inspired a wave of enthusiastic nodding among the cosmopolitan crowd gathered in Davos last month when he took to the podium and proclaimed that the world order underwritten by the United States, which prevailed in the west throughout the postwar era, was over."

(You are about to witness that first hand 

when things get going with Iran here shortly.)

"The organizing principle that emerged from the ashes of the second world war, that interdependence would promote world peace by knitting nations’ interests together in a drive for common security and prosperity, no longer works. The US blew it up.'

(Been saying so a long time as well.)

"Donald Trump came to believe that every other country treated the US as a chump, free riding on its security guarantee and abusing its open market – no matter that the United States set most of the rules underpinning the postwar architecture, and broke them when it suited its interests, or that the rules enabled an era of remarkable American prosperity."

“Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited,” he said. 

(Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney

Have begun?

Its more like what they have always done.)

“You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”

"German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, opened the Munich Security Conference arguing that “the international order based on rights and rules is currently being destroyed”. He warned that the “leadership claim of the US is being challenged, perhaps already lost”.

(Who are we to say anything to anybody else about anything, 

when we got that going on right here? 

And George Floyd and a whole list of others...

And no I do not hate this country.

I HATE WHAT IT HAS BECOME.)

"The report prepared for the gathering in Munich articulated well the general feeling of America’s (erstwhile) friends. “For generations, US allies were not just able to rely on American power but on a broadly shared understanding of the principles underpinning the international order,” it noted. Washington has betrayed that understanding. “As a result, more than 80 years after construction began, the US-led post-1945 international order is now under destruction.”

"But if the old order is behind us, what comes next? Is it possible to create an alternative order that’s liberal, multilateral, rules-based and resilient enough to withstand pressure from the US and China as they struggle for supremacy?"

"Carney posited the choice thus: 

“Compete with each other for favor, 

or combine to create 

a third path 

with impact.”

Bible verses that should have been 

cross-referenced...

Daniel 7:24

And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Revelation 16:19

19 And the great city 

(Earth)

was divided into three parts,

 and the cities of the nations fell: 

and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, 

to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
