Gregory Copley discusses the “trigger of the fear pandemic” which has initiated an all-out and amorphous total war between the U.S., China, and the rest of the world. He explains how the historical cycle is now coming to a close, where we’ve reached peak wealth and demographics. We have entered an era characterized by the death or end of democracy and the Westphalian nation-state model. He sees the possible re-emergence of the British Empire in CANZUK, a disintegrating EU, and a flailing attempt by Erdogan to create a Neo-Ottoman Empire as we enter a time of global fluctuation and possibly a new age of empires.
