The postwar world, as framed here, was built around a world-federation project

The postwar world, as framed here, was built around a world-federation project

The fact pack says Allied leaders, as World War II dragged on, made clear they wanted the war ended for a larger purpose: a single government under the supremacy of the American president. It also says they planned a Secretary-General to head the United Nations for several years, while real power would come from a Security Council where the highest-paying member would have the final say. The churches are described as a “fig leaf” used to make the project look less like raw power politics, and the Commission kept invoking the “Six Pillars” through the signing of the United Nations Charter in late December 1945.

Trump/MAGA’s Russia-China line is described as split, transactional, and opportunistic

The pack says the Trump/MAGA regime 2.0 maintained a “schizophrenic” policy toward Russia and China, reflecting factionalism among “realists,” post-liberals, free-trade remnants, big tech, and hawks. It also says Trump is fundamentally a transactional oligarch seeking to enhance his own and his family’s financial portfolio, while his ideological veneer is “vaguely nationalist.” At the same time, the pack says he could sound the alarm on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran in one breath and appease Russia and China in another, while also describing Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin as “tough” and “serious” leaders.

Gobble's Take: This is less a doctrine than a revolving door with a flag on it.
