Wholeheartedly agree with both of you. I'd rather have a world order based on trade, diplomacy, mutual trust and long term partnerships. That'd be a win-win for everyone in my opinion but it's not where we are now and I'm not sure where we're headed.

Agreed. I have family in Europe, Brazil, and Canada. In an ideal scenario, all of the real players would learn to work together. The US wouldn’t be bullying rare earth minerals out of Ukraine or acting aggressively towards Greenland, South America, Canada, etc., with the other nuclear superpowers working in cooperation. Putin would eventually be driven out of Russia, and the unified European market experiment would grow into a global market with free circulation of both goods and people.
Cheap energy, cheap food, cheap commodities, top-notch global R&D, independence from US Big Tech, Big Finance, Big Pharma, and technofeudalism. A partnership with BRICS countries, Australia, Canada, and others would guarantee strategic resources. Meanwhile, the US and Israeli governments could shove their world-destabilisation agendas up their arses.
It would be a great timeline to be part of.
