The world outside of Europe, Australia, and North America is preparing for the transition. They know it's coming, and they aren't holding back on their anti-Western remarks.

The US and private businesses control the global banking system, agricultural machinery and food supplies, energy resources, and countless other products, but they do not produce much domestically.

As nations seek sovereignty, they nationalize their resources, denying the US access to unlimited profits and goods. Historically, this approach failed, but things have changed, and no one trusts the US.

My fear is that the US will use everything up its sleeve to maintain power and wealth, and this will hurt all of us. Hopefully, I'm wrong, but the US has repeatedly shown the world how far it will go to assert dominance.
