It's inarguable that the world is in flux. What is arguable is what it will look like when it's all said and done. Will the 195 recognized countries remain the same as they are now, in the same continental configuration, or will the land mass be reformed into new man-made models? Like the breakdown in the dystopian novel, 1984.
There's a lot of different ideas floating about with a lot of different competing allegiances at play. Will it be a one world order with a centralized power structure or a federation of state entities?
One thing is certain, IMHO, that whatever may become of this world wide upheaval, it will most probably be a New World Order.
There is a certain component of the nascent order that's becoming obvious to me, and perhaps to you as well, and that is the role of billionaires in this theoretical world realignment. The new administration that is about to take power here in the US is loaded with billionaires and near billionaires. As is the world, writ large.
