Western collapse thanks to militarism and the wish to dominate
It's all self-destructive. The West should join the world and become a good partner, not a dominator

On February 10, 2025, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Anthony Fatseas, who runs the WTFinance Channel on YouTube.
Interestingly, Anthony’s channel defines economy in a much broader, structural framework than most of the departments of ‘national economics.’ I would call it Real, social or cultural economics.
I urge you to watch it on YouTube rather than here - then you will see both how this is going viral and the - for me - profoundly heart-warming hundreds of comments.
Sadly, I cannot comment or thank all these good-hearted people because YouTube has cancelled me and I cannot even log in.
Once again, people prove how they want peace - while their governments don’t know what it is or how to achieve it because they are obsessed with confrontation, war-planning and militarism in service of the MIMAC, the Military-Industrial-Media-Academic Complex.

Thank you, Professor Oberg! This is what it sounds like when someone actually understands realpolitik and hegemonic stability. Stability doesn’t come from wishful thinking!! It comes from strong powers asserting order. As you say, empires rise and fall, but the ones that last are the ones that recognize geopolitical realities and act accordingly. China gets it with the Belt and Road Initiative and its firm hand in Xinjiang and Tibet. Russia understands it too. Ukraine, Chechnya, South Ossetia, and Transnistria aren’t about aggression, they’re about strategic recalibration, just like NATO’s expansion was never really about defense. The lesson is clear!! Weaker nations that resist dominant powers only invite instability. The world doesn’t run on ideals. It runs on power, and the nations that embrace that reality are the ones shaping the future and building lasting peace.
