The global elite depend upon constant fear from “enemies,” both real and constructed, in order to manipulate governments into actions of the elite's choosing. They will invest in both sides of a conflict so that regardless of which side wins, they still make money/power. The global elite cannot propagate so long as the world is in a general state of homeostasis, hence the Fabian Socialists notion of “order out of chaos.” The world has been in series of global conflicts since at least 1912, and the elites' power has increased exponentially. Any version of nationalism, esp Trump's version of nationalism that explicitly rejects globalism, is a tremendous threat because he is essentially proposing a US policy of noninterference in world affairs while turning toward strengthening America at home. Everything Trump is proposing to do is essentially anti-globalism, which is why they are doing everything they can to destroy him; and the main thing right now is the obsession with Russia as our latest existential threat.

Let's get crazy here
What if big business like McDonald's regarded every rival and competitor as an enemy? Lots of time and energy wasted on defending your product and turf

But no, some genius decided to exert control by franchising and dividing up the market for fast cheap burgers and fries under his brand

Spread the product, maintain the brand, divide the turf/ market, share the wealth with those willing to buy in and live by the rules

What if world relations are reset in a business model. Not the political models

Define the product as stability ( if not peace) and the factors that secure stability ... ( tyranny and oppression and exploitation not being those factors)
Maybe not one brand anymore - US democracy term has been so abused as to lose credibility with a lot of the world so stop thinking about imposing it by force and treachery ( which is the abuse part) - maybe be different brands for Middle East Russia and Asia but not necessarily bad brands if they meet the product specs - stop think of alt brands as enemies

Now divide the turf and agree on the rules - again must not go against the principles of the product

Now define common goals where the franchises work together and otherwise, let them manage their own turf

While assuring no treachery of course
Or your turf gets new management that supports the product

Let MBA’s loose on the world, not politicians!

Just being a bit ridiculously out of the box here!
