Agenda 2030 and the long-term US plan for Global Hegemony?
From Cold War 1.0 to Cold War 2.0 + expanding the Globalist Empire in 13 easy steps.
I admit that am not always a particular fan of the medium term geopolitical predictions of Colonel Douglas Macgregor, but I definitely value his overall knowledge of history and warcraft.
In the video linked below, Macgregor repeated something that I heard him say before, and something that stuck into my mind:
“Battles won by soldiers, wars are won by logistics”
When I first heard Macgregor say this, my initial reaction was that that I wanted to look beyond “battles” and “wars,” and instead wanted to focus on ‘how is Global Hegemony won?’
What could be a road map for Global Hegemony, and who is making actual plans? The Collective West with its armed NATO wing in concert with the World Economic Forum and countless other NGOs and think tanks? Or China with its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)? Or perhaps a loose alliance of Russia, China, and “The Global South” united in the BRICS?
I know that perhaps a lot of “3D chess” supporters of the Global South, BRICS, and Russia/China do not want to hear this, but I personally think that the West/NATO is still in the driving seat, doing most of the planning/scheming, and that mostly Russia is merely reacting to events instead of making any long term strategic plan. China and India seem to be on the fence, trying to stay friendly with both sides (Russia versus the US/West) and seeing who will win.
There is always a danger in trying to make long term predictions and therefore of course I could be totally wrong, but here’s what I think a long term US/Western plan might look like.
Let’s first take a brief look and summarise the current geopolitical situation and any possible near term developments;
Europe: the European vassal states, united in NATO and the EU, are gradually being destroyed by a mix of Wokeism, self-imposed energy/commodity sanctions against Russia, huge debts, a huge strain on the social welfare system as a result of Europe being flooded by refugees and increasing unemployment, a weak Euro currency. These factors are a mix of self-imposed stupidity and USA-imposed stupidity.
Russia: is doing quite well economically at the moment but we must not forget that, traditionally speaking, wars usually lead to a spike in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) as a result of increasing government spending on the military. Long-term potential problems are that Russian’s population might become restless and unhappy as a result of being cut off from the Western world due to Western-imposed sanctions. Furthermore, let’s not forget that Russia is involved in a major military conflict and is becoming increasingly isolated (increasing anti-Russian pressure from Western NGOs in Armenia, Syria, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Central Asia). Sure, Russia’s pragmatic solutions to Western sanctions has proven that it does “not need the West” but don’t forget that Russia needs export markets. Less export markets (i.e. “demand”) with an equal “supply” of Russian commodities, leads to the few remaining export markets (China, India) being able to dictate lower prices for Russian commodities. Alternatively, Russia could reduce the supply of its commodities, but this would result in a slowdown of the Russian economy and lead to less tax and oil/gas revenue for the Russian State.
Asia: cracks have been continuing to appear in China’s bubble economy, and the election of Donald Trump is anything but good news for China. Also militarily, the West and China seem to be on a confrontation course, with NATO slowly trying to expand into Asia. Political turmoil continues in South Korea following an alleged coup d’état in December 2024, and the Western media is dramatising (with little to no evidence) the possibility of North Korean soldiers fighting side-by-side with Russia in the Ukraine Conflict.
USA: as I already predicted, so far the election of Donald Trump has spelled no good news for those who naively thought that Trump would introduce an era of peace, prosperity, and stability. Instead, as in 2016 The Donald has again hired a cabinet full of pro-Israel-anti-China warhawks and billionaires who are only interested in corporatism and introduction of a digital surveillance state. Trump’s naive fanbase (cheered on by PsyOps sites like X.com and ZeroHedge.com) continue to deny reality and portray Trump’s moves as “3D chess” and “Kamala would have been worse,” conveniently ignoring that a Trump Presidency will not mean any departure from the US Empire but merely a small change of course of how the US Empire is developing. Trump has already negated on his 'promise to “end the Ukrainian conflict in 24 hours even as president-elect” and has already increased the timeline one hundredfold by now suggesting that a solution might be reached after 100 days in office. Spoiler alert: puppet Trump and his Deep State puppeteers are not interested in solving the Ukraine conflict, but merely want to deescalate the Ukrainian proxy war against Russia such an extent so that it can be ‘managed’ by it’s weak European vassals without too much active involvement of the Big Brother America. This is because IMHO the US will focus on escalating another conflict in a different geographical theatre: Iran and/or Asia (Korean Peninsula, China, South China Sea). Even before the inauguration of Donald Trump, we’ve gone from “drain the swamp” and “Make America a Healthy Again,” to “let’s annex Greenland and Panama” and “let’s flood the US employment market with H-1B visa holders.” 🤡
You might say: “why are you so negative?” but I think it’s important to especially focus on potential problems, because so far I see most other geopolitical analysts almost exclusively focussing on positive aspects while reverting to wishful thinking and ignoring anything potentially negative.
It’s the negative things you’ve ignored that eventually end up biting you in the ass, not the positive things that you have consistently overhyped. 😉 Additionally, once you’ve identified negative aspects, you might be able to address them.
Now let’s look at the potential future developments of US Global Hegemony.
I think that the US Empire might develop in the following steps, starting at the current situation I described above;
The US is economically destroying the EU (high energy prices due to sanctions against Russia, blowing up 3 of 4 Nord Stream Pipelines, flooding Europe with refugees as a result from US foreign wars), whilst at the same time provoking internal divisions and conflicts. (Ukraine, Kosovo, Serbia, Baltic States, Transnistria)
Simultaneously, the US under Trump will be slowly rebuilding its manufacturing base and trying to reverse the Woke/DEI PsyOp. (also see my article about the July 2024 RAND Corporation Report, and how the RAND Corporation is pleading for a stronger national cohesion)
Wokeism and DEI will be allowed to continue for a little while in the EU, allowing more wars, chaos, division, and destruction. Apart from some smaller EU political parties who do not have absolute majorities and thus will not be able to make any real changes, there is no strong political or economic force in the EU that can offer a similar approach that Trump can offer of reversing Wokeism and bring back European jobs. To the contrary: no matter how much wishful thinking you engage in, the majority of the political forces in Europe are still determined to destroy the EU with ‘Green’ Agendas, importing social welfare recipients (“migrants” and “refugees” resulting from US regime change wars), lavish spending on the Ukrainian military, and driving energy prices through the roof which ruins any European economic competitive advantage.
The EU will ‘inherit’ the Ukrainian Conflict from the US and United Kingdom. Of course Trump will keep some military and financial aid flowing towards Kiev, but most money will be spent on different geopolitical projects such as Israel/Iran and the Pacific Rim region. The EU will be financially squeezed even more by requiring to keep propping up the Zelensky
GovernmentCIA/MI6 Regime, and as a result the Ukrainian Conflict will effectively be frozen without having to make any concessions (hint: sanctions) to Russia.Result: the EU will (as always) be 10-20 years behind political, social and economic developments in US and torn apart by wars and internal division. To quote former Russian Prime Minister Viktor Cherdomyrdin cynical: "We wanted the best, but it turned out as always." (Хотели как лучше, а получилось как всегда) This seems to be very valid for the EU these days…
Next up will be the economic destruction of China’s manufacturing capacity through a combination of initially a trade war, and then perhaps followed by some kind of false flag/provocation similar to how Russia was deliberately provoked with Ukraine. In Asia there are enough geopolitically unstable zones where this might be achieved: Myanmar, the Korean Peninsula, the South China Sea, or Taiwan come to mind.
Why China? China is the global production facility, and US needs to once again become a production facility to replace the broken Western consumer/debt-based financial system. The US urgently needs those manufacturing jobs back that it ‘exported’ to China since the 1990’s and Deng Xiaoping’s opening up of the Chinese economy. Therefore: destroy China.
While Europe is being destroyed and preparations for a trade war against China are made, simultaneously Russia is being weakened with sanctions targeting the Russian middle and upper classes who 1) are most likely to rebel against Putin because they want to return to their cushy pre-sanctions lifestyle and 2) they are mostly ideologically and economically aligned with the West. The ultimate target is of course Regime Change, but whether or not this target is immediately achieved is not so important…yet. Similar to Syria (the West started to ramp up sanctions and regime change operations against Bashar Al-Assad in 2011!), the West has plenty of time and unfortunately Western NGOs already had many decades (basically since 1990) to infiltrate Russian society. Its only 10 years ago that Vladimir Putin started to reign in Western NGOs, but the woke leftwing liberal culture can still be found in every major Russian city, and it will take a lot of time and effort to reverse the effects and replace the ‘Soros Jugend’ with a more conservatively oriented generation. Sanctions and political subversion work slowly, and in Syria (a country already was an international pariah state under the rule of Bashar’s father, Hafez al-Assad) it took 13 years to bring down Assad. Russia is a much wealthier country than Syria and, until recently, much more internationally oriented, thus these sanctions and political subversions have a much bigger impact on society.
Once international and geopolitical chaos has been widespread enough, a window opens to reset the US-based financial system. Klaus Schwab was right about ‘zee greet Rezet’ but he is just a German Neonazi puppet and he was wrong about the timing. He spoke too soon. Reality is that the enormous mountain of Western debt needs to be wiped out because all exponential systems eventually collapse, the broken US PetroDollar system needs to be replaced with a new currency, either CBDCs/Bitcoin-Tether-USDT/SDRs (Special Drawing Rights, the ‘currency’ of the International Monetary Fund), and for the sake of the Western oligarchs and the Western population, a Social Credit System (SCS) + Universal Basic Income (UBI) will probably be thrown in. International & geopolitical chaos is needed to block Russia, China and any other larger ambitious geopolitical player from being able to also use this window of opportunity to seize power and shape the economic and geopolitical future in their image, so the EU, Russia and China need to be ‘engaged’ and ‘kept busy’ with a combination of wars, famines, Wokeism, regime change, political instability, and an economic depression. Furthermore, international & geopolitical chaos serves as a great excuse for US politicians to ‘sell’ the idea that people’s pensions and savings will be wiped out, and this will then be sugarcoated with “it’s Russia’s/China’s fault’ and ‘don’t worry about your wiped out savings and pensions, here is some free UBI money, you only need to say “yes” to a SCS.’
Once the EU has been destroyed and the financial system has been completely reset, the BuildBackBetter phase can start, and Klaus Schwab and his bunch of Western-backed Globalists, Royalties, and Oligarchs can enter the stage. This phase will be very similar to the post-WW2 scenario where in 1944 the financial system was recalibrated in Bretton Woods and in 1948 the Marshall Plan was launched to rebuild a completely destroyed Europe. The European economic recovery really took off after the Marshall Aid arrived, and Western Europe was flooded with American goods bought with American Marshall Plan money: machinery, cars, airplanes, refrigerators, Coca Cola, radios…you name it! This symbiotic relationship in turn fuelled a massive economical boom in the US which lasted many decades, until finally Stagflation, the Oil Crisis, Richard Nixon ending the convertibility of US Dollars into gold, and the effects of the Vietnam War, ended it in the early-mid 1970’s.
At this stage, we’ve completely come full circle: from a Cold War 1.0 to a Cold War 2.0.
a) Europe and the US will be economically and militarily aligned,
b) a new Iron Curtain 2.0 will have been built between Europe and Russia, just a bit more to the east than last time
c) Russia (as with the former Soviet Union) and China will be excluded from the New Western Economic System.
NATO might be expanded to some Asian Pacific countries such as Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand
Basically we will roughly go towards a George Orwell 1984 World;
a) Oceania = US + Europe + Japan + Australia/New Zealand
b) Eurasia = Russia + perhaps some Central Asian countries + the biggest part of Ukraine
c) Eastasia = China + perhaps Taiwan + some parts of the Korean Peninsula, + Myanmar.
Timeframe: I dunno… I wrote 2030 in the title, but 5 years seems quite ambitions.
Disclaimers and potential plot twists: lots!
Russia, India and China are of course not going to roll over and accept this lying down, but the big question is: can they provide a viable economic and ideological alternative to US Global Hegemony?
In my humble opinion, you need at least 3 essential factors for global hegemony;
any popular and acceptable consumerist and lifestyle ideology that resonates with a large part of the global population: from Coca Cola and Rock & Roll in the 1950’s and Yuppies in the 1990’s, to the Tech-driven-Wokeism-Consumerism in the 2020’s. What it is doesn't really matter. What matters is that (similar to how Madonna kept on ‘reinventing’ herself) these lifestyle ideologies continuously give businesses the opportunity to come up with new products, and thus entice consumers to keep on buying.
a worldwide financial system (i.e. a World Reserve Currency) that you control: a gold standard when you own the most gold or the US PetroDollar when the you own the US dollar printing press and have the Saudis in your back pocket. With this worldwide financial system the hegemony can do 4 vital things;
a) control natural resources worldwide
b) facilitate credit for manufacturing/producers
c) facilitate credit for consumers
d) pay for the army. (see below)
a sophisticated army to enforce the two points above.
Quite honestly, I don’t really see Russia or China providing a clear alternative to the points above, especially point 1.
Yes, perhaps one day Russia and China can (re)introduce a gold standard (most probably backing their CBDCs with gold) and replace the US PetroDollar, which IMHO is the Achilles Heel of the Western/US Global Hegemony). With this World Reserve Currency they can 1) weaken funding for the US military global presence, and 2) expand their own military dominance.
However, when it comes to point 1, I don’t yet see Russia or China coming up with a viable lifestyle ideology that will (analogous to the consumerism in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World) keep the world population happy and obedient, while simultaneously dominating international trade and keeping businesses prosperous.
Let me know what I missed and where I might be wrong.
👉 As a bit of an experiment to gauge the supposed “popularity” and “adoption rate” of Bitcoin/cryptos (of which I’m also deeply skeptical, see my article here 😉), I’ve set up a BTC wallet for donations.
If you have some spare Bitcoins-Satoshis lying around, even if it’s just $0,01 worth, then please consider sending some BTC Satoshis my way. Many thanks, it’s much appreciated!

I am not knowledgeable enough to say whether you are right or wrong or if you missed anything, but I do know that Empire builders and their minions create a hell of a lot of havoc in this world. I would say that human beings need to stop competing for who will dominate the entire world and take care of their business at home. The extension of the attention to the war theater is destroying our planet's eco-system and is in no way justifiable. War is a crime against humanity and if these players insist on keeping the "Killing Train" going, then they care not about humanity or this planet. Human beings are supposed to be above the animals, but they are the only species on this planet that build munitions to kill other people and destroy habitats. It's insane and makes no sense to me.
