We’re watching the world reset in real time.

This isn’t chaos.
It’s strategy.

Iran. China. India. The Middle East.
All moving at once.

Most people can’t see it yet.

 

 

ransomnote: Below are a few of my notes and some images from the video.

At the start of the video, Steger said that Trump's vision exceeds that of others and his strategies work because people can't even imagine what he intends so they can't fight its implementation. Trump thinks bigger than anyone else dares, he outflanks any effort to sabotage the deal. They can't sabotage a deal they can't even imagine exists.

I found the entire video interesting and took a few notes starting just past the halfway mark.

May 20, 2017 Trump went to Saudi Arabia where he spoke to 54 nations of the Muslim world at the Arab Islamic American Summit.

Trump told them that radical Islam had to be dealt with.

  

Three years later, President Trump launched the Abraham Accords.

   

Nine years after Trump's 2017 visit to Saudi Arabia, Hegseth signed an agreement on behalf of the US with Indonesian leadership. 

   

Indonesia's Strait of Malacca is transited by 50% of the world's shipping. The prior Indonesian president was in the room during Trump's 2017 speech in Saudi Arabia; the author notes this is 'one strategy, nine years in the making.'

Rubio addressed an important meeting in Washington between Israeli and Lebanese diplomats who were meeting for this first time since 1983. Rubio didn't open his remarks with talk about a ceasefire. Below, he outlined the purpose of the meeting.

 

After the meeting, the Israeli diplomat said the following.

France was not in the room. They are now seen by all sides as a negative influence. France responded to news of the meeting by ammouncing that France and Britain would hold a video conference regarding freedome of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, while the United States was running the actual blockade and engaging in broadscale regional diplomacy. Europe is becoming a global joke.

The Economist concluded their article about these events that they mark another nail in the coffin of the pretense of  'rules based order' or International Law.

Steger says The Economist is not wrong, they simply think it's a trajedy rather than a triumph. He points out that the 'rules based order' was not a neutral framework for global justice. He says its the specific post-war architecture built in London to manage Washington and the world after direct colonial control became untenable. The institutions, financial institutions and military alliances was sold as universal law when in fact it was built to preserve British methods in a new liberal form.

Steger notes that The Economist concedes defeat for now, but British think tank Chatham House is holding a conference during the 6 week Iranian war. The conference theme was 'Resiliance and Rivalry: Securing the transition in a fragile climate.' Steger lists over 200 oil projects  which sit blocked in British waters because of the Crown's green policies..

He says they can't see the Iran deal because they can't imagine the scope of the deal. They can't see the Muslim world reorganized because they spent 125 years sowing chaos in the Middle East.

"Consider the events of the past week."

Steger says this is isn't war, chaos and American demise. This is a grand restructuring of the world's strategic map according to American principles. 

The old international 'rules based order' crowd is increasiningly irrelevant.

ransomnote: I will add a thread below which I believe relates to Steger's video. As Trump is breaking Britain's hold on the world order, this seems to be the American Revolution 2.0. All the 'sky is falling' MSM coverage distracts from the fact that Trump laid the foundation for worldwide change starting with his first official visit to Saudi Arabia in 2017.  His actions regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz are not just guesswork - but finishing touches on a 10 year strategy.

Why not celebrate with the biggest 'state fair' in US History about which Trump War Room recently reposted on X? This will be the greatest Independence Day ever and it will therefore take 17 days to celebrate!!!

• Freedom 250 presents the Great American State Fair | All 56 states and territories. One massive, World’s Fair–scale takeover. June 25 – July 10, 2026. America’s biggest celebration of freedom. Don’t miss it.

"China was all set to control the ports at both ends of the canal."

Like they wanted to control the Panama Canal.

[Lizavetta]

Make no mistake. This marks the end of tightly integrated international trade.

Could you elaborate what you mean?

China was all set to control the ports at both ends of the canal.

Duh

It was strategic for them to gain leverage in our hemisphere by controlling all cargo going in and out of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America to the Pacific ocean.

As I said, it was mercantile, not military.

That is no different than Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

Nonsense. There is no other way to move that much oil. We do have sufficient port capacity to move material by rail.

Excellent post well done.

Except you left out AI and the benefit/destruction it will bring.

On the one hand you can get answers to questions that took days/weeks to dig out in seconds. But, on the other hand, who needs a lawyer for other than summarizing what AI has done in seconds. Same with a doctor. Tomorrows doctor will be in charge of summarizing what his medical AI has told him!! Same with so many other occupations from top to bottom of the employment ladder.

Its gonna get beddddyyy intuhwesting.

We can’t take CHina out of the equation. THey are building nuclear power plants as fast as we build drones. Eventually, their needs for crude oil will start going the other way. They also do wind,solar, many other forms of energy and dont have any green idiots gettin in their way.

Thanks for posting this video, I shared it widely.

This is 5D chess....a sweeping defeat of the Western European initiative for a socialist NWO reset that initiated the Russia / Ukraine war.Putin will be forced into a cease fire. China will be forced to join the international community as an equal honest participant, or fail economically. North Korea is under the deterrence gun from Japan itself.So is CHina.Iran? Well kit will be destroyed or converted to a nation of freedom.We wait.

The axis of power is no longer in Western Europe it is situated now in the Middle East’s levant and the Persian Gulf and it will bring the entire world into a period of peace and prosperity.

The NWO leaders are now little better than a socialist boys club of surrender monkeys.

For anyone that is still moaning about India’s purchase of Russian Oil... India is the strategic ally of the US, in what really matters. India is providing missiles to counteract China’s hegemony in the South China Sea to Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. Cry Harder ! ! !
