The end goal is one world government. Cut back on the weed and alcohol. Keep studying.
I think there are some major drivers in global politics that should be clarified / simplified down to their basic element(s) -- call me out of you think any of these are bs - or if you can think of others
1) The New World Order is a stated goal for multiple successive US Presidents since the Big Bush - also, at least 2 popes have slathered over the emergence of the HOLY ONE WORLD BUREAUCRACY ....so I believe them. I think this is a real driver for many power-types --- I also think it will come with something like an attempt at "one world religion"
2) China - I believe they see history in centuries and see the subset of the US Dollar as a way to return to Asian dominance while also becoming a MAJOR factor in the international system that's still developing (they've commented on that last bit and reeffirmed their desire to see us all using international political organs etc)......too bad their political prisoners don't get the same freewill choice about THEIR organs -- also "New Silk Road"
3) Russia -- I think Putin seems himself like a Peter the Great or perhaps even Ivan the Terrible. Whereas the latter shed the 150+ year yoke of the Monglol khans - Putin may see himself as one of the few opponents to the NWO (if true, then I support him 100%)......
4) Arab Caliphate - not just ISIS but I think also Erdogan in Turkey to some extent -- and others (Iran? Pakistan?) see the possibility of a new Caliphate to replace the one they had for a while after Mohammed the Head Pirate. My dates may be off a bit but I believe their Abbyssid dynasty continued into the 10th century after Mo-Killing himself ravaged and massacred in the 6th century .....
5) Break away liberty movements - these will pop up everywhere in the coming decade I think. You've seen it with the election of Trump - also the National Front Movement in France, Scotland wanting to break away from the UK, UK wanting to break away from Europe and North Carolina basketball wanting to break away from all NCAA rules on classes.......Philippines and others have lodged some type off 'new direction' as well -- interesting to see how this coalesces
6) BRICS - they're still aligning as if they expect the dollar to go POOOP any second
7) Das Vatican - I think this Pope isn't what he sells himself as -- but to each their own -- I think they miss the Pope Leo III days where they can just cram a crown down on a kings ahead and MAKE THEM the strong man to protect them (Ala Charlemagne) ..... I think this Pope leads a very strong effort to continue the "united religions initiative" that was started back in the 90's.......I also think he seeks to get involved with the Peace efforts in the land formerly known as Israel.....
8) UK Football -- 8 wins ---- this WILL happen
