Some of my readers, public figures, respond to me by email every week. I don't usually do this, but since I took the time to write up a response that could stand on its own as an essay, I'd like to share it more widely.
Yes, I think it's both controlled demolition and emergent process, but I wanted to draw people away from those thoughts since they weren't useful for what I had to say.
I am familiar with the Promethean view, and I don't disagree that there is a "who" behind much of what we are seeing. The City of London's historical role in global finance and its use of Middle East conflict as a mechanism for control is well-documented by those who look closely enough.
Where I part ways—at least for the purpose of this essay—is that I see America and Britain as joined at the hip. They are not separate systems. They are the same machine, and that machine is breaking down.
My aim here was not to identify the puppet masters. It was to point at the bullet that everyone seems to be dodging: the debt. $39.2 trillion. $1.2 trillion in interest payments. A closed loop that has curdled into a trap. No matter who is holding the strings, the physics of the debt are the same. The system is inverting because the math no longer works.
America cannot afford the Donroe Doctrine. The Donroe Doctrine assumes America can afford it.
The essay's argument is not that the U.S. is strategically orchestrating a retreat. It is that the U.S. is being forced into one by constraints it can no longer ignore. The debt. The interest payments. The overextension. These are not choices. They are physics.
If Trump is using his "right brain," it may be because the left-brain maps no longer work. He is responding to reality rather than imposing a category onto it. But I would not mistake this for a coherent strategy. The Abraham Accords are a valiant attempt to build an orderly structure on the way out the door—but the door is closing whether Washington wants it to or not.
The system is inverting around us, and we are being pulled back to our own shores—not because we planned it, but because the math no longer allows us to stay. Trump is bringing the old American life back to America. He will make America a producer again, for sure, but he really has no choice. The old globalist order that the USA has thrived on—namely, the debt-backed dollar—is unsustainable. The Donroe Doctrine assumes we can still project power in our own backyard. The essay argues we cannot even afford that.
An interesting question you ask about Trump's brain. Does Trump display right-brain orientation in his speech and actions? I think the answer is both yes and no.
Yes, in the sense that Trump's rhetorical style—direct, blunt, rejecting of nuance—can appear "right-brain" in its anti-establishment, anti-bureaucratic posture. He is not interested in the left brain's carefully constructed categories, diplomatic niceties, or complex coalition maps. He speaks in visceral, intuitive terms. In that sense, he is a reaction against the left-brain establishment.
But no, if we use McGilchrist's framework carefully. The right brain is not just about bluntness or the deal. It is about seeing the whole, recognizing connections, and understanding living systems. It asks "What is actually happening?" rather than "What is the correct category?"
Trump's approach to Iran, trade, and alliances has been transactional, not systemic. He is not trying to understand the living system beneath the map—he is trying to impose a new set of deals on the old map. That is still a left-brain operation, just a different flavor of it.
So I would say this: Trump is a symptom of the left brain's collapse, not a representative of the right brain's emergence. The left brain's maps have failed, and he is the chaos that follows. But the right brain's reassertion—connection over control, living systems over dead maps—is something else entirely. That is not Trump. That is what comes after. Trump ushers it in. Trump is riding the wave, but he is not the wave itself.
Your thought that both India and China are primed for some kind of collapse or retreat from their current states as superpowers is a fascinating and provocative take, and I think you raise important points. But I would push back on a few things.
First, on oil depletion: You are right that West Asia's oil is finite, and that the region is at a turning point. But the essay's argument is not about the region's resources—it is about the region's reorientation. West Asia is pivoting to Asia not because it is running out of oil, but because the financial and trade architecture that once tied it to the West is crumbling. The petrodollar is breaking. The debt trap is closing. The region is looking east because that is where the capital, the trade, and the future are flowing. Oil depletion is a factor, but it is not the driver of the shift I am describing.
Second, on India and China: You may be right that both face internal challenges—debt, resource dependency, demographic pressures. But the essay does not claim that India or China are stable or permanent superpowers. It claims that they are the emerging centers of gravity in a multipolar world. Whether they collapse or retreat is an open question. What is not open is that the United States is no longer the sole architect of the global order. The system is pivoting around America, not with it.
Third, on the Emirati monuments: I take your point about societies near collapse producing grand monuments. The pyramids, the Roman Forum, the Taj Mahal—all built at the height of empires that eventually declined. But I would be careful not to mistake decadence for collapse. The Gulf states are diversifying their economies precisely because they see the writing on the wall. They are not ignoring oil depletion; they are preparing for it. Whether their preparations succeed is another question.
What I would say in closing is this: The essay is not a prediction of who will "win" or "collapse." It is a diagnosis of a pattern. The pattern is inversion. The United States has reached its extreme, and it is turning into its opposite. Whether India or China follow that path—or avoid it—remains to be seen. But the inversion is already here, and we are all living in it.
Thank you again for the thoughtful engagement. You are pushing me to think harder, and I appreciate it.
They're making the past predator class look bad so they can step in as the good guys.
It's just like in wrestling.
That's why they let Biden fumble around on stage numerous times for a while before helping him off.
That's why Trump is allowed to say crazy things. You would think they would have coached him later to not or threatened him and I'm not talking about the fake assasination attempts.
That's why Fauci is getting the blame (not the many others that also orchestrated con-vid).
A few years ago the WEF had a presentation on how to regain trust. They mentioned how people were disappointed in politicians and experts. Ok. But their solution was to double down on lying. You would think that in a publicised event they would have mentioned regaining trust by being honest, even if they were pretending. No, and it was also interesting that they had that James Bond villain, Klaus as their head man and now another predator perp.... Make the past management look bad.
That's why everything is so absurd these days.
So the next crop of the predator class can step in and save the day and regain our trust. But it'll fail because we're no longer tribalist and cheer for stupid teams.
Instead we cheer for the truth. Fuck tribalism and the group think that comes along with it. Only the obsolete still follow team sports when it comes to important things.
Rob, I appreciate the thoughtful comment. You're pointing at something a lot of people feel but struggle to articulate—the sense that we're being played, that the absurdity is deliberate, that there's a script behind the chaos. And I don't disagree with you.
There is a performance element to what we're seeing. The theater of it all—the fumbles, the blame-shifting, the carefully staged handoffs—does look like a wrestling script. And I think you're right that there are people who benefit from keeping us distracted, pointing fingers at others while positioning themselves as the saviors.
Where I might offer a slightly different lens is this: even if the theater is orchestrated, the debt is not.
$39.2 trillion. $1.2 trillion in annual interest payments. A closed loop that has curdled into a trap. That is not a script. That is math. And math doesn't care who is playing the good guy or the bad guy. It just runs its course.
So when I see the absurdity—Biden fumbling, Trump saying wild things, Fauci taking the blame while others slip away—I don't see a conspiracy. I see a system that is no longer coherent. The old categories are breaking down. The maps no longer match the territory. The absurdity is not just theater. It is collapse.
The WEF presentation you mention is telling. Their solution to regaining trust was to double down on lying. That is not a villain's plot. That is the left brain's last resort: when the map fails, impose it harder. It never works. It only accelerates the inversion.
You say the next crop of the predator class will step in and fail because we are no longer tribalist. I think you are right about that. We are waking up. The old loyalties are dissolving. But I would gently add this: the reason they will fail is not just because we are smarter or more awake. It is because the system itself is broken. No savior—good or bad—can fix a machine that has already inverted.
The debt is the bullet. The theater—the absurdity, the blame-shifting, the wrestling script—is noise. Important noise, maybe. But noise nonetheless.
Thank you for engaging. You are seeing something very real. I just think the answers are simpler and more terrifying than any script.
It will fail because the middle class is no longer "fed well" by the system that they defended since WW2.
That's why apartheid persisted.
That's why they supported the Vietnam war for so long.
That's why they supported the war of terror we waged due to 911.
And now with the economic system facing huge corrections, they will stop defending ridiculous shit like private health insurance, the crooked medical system / pharma, wall street retirement systems and finally embrace a more universal safety net just like they did during after the great depression.
Change always starts with the middle and upper classes because the poor/working class have little to no say in economics /politics throughout history.
Well, today we got a double dip with you including your response to a communication you share regularly with Jim Kunstler. You should know that it was a phrase or sentence that was attributed to you well over a year ago in one of Jim's columns that led me to you. I really found what you were quoted as saying of such interest that I looked you up and have been a subscriber ever since. I thank him for that. The analysis you presented today is a gift for understanding and preparation for dealing with the collapse that has already begun. The pure physics of it all no longer provides more time to extend and pretend. We are there, now. I think most thinking Americans those who can see are relieved and see the benefits of America coming home to take care of America. God bless you for acting as our thoughtful guide,
Thank you, Barbara. It means a lot to know that something I said—quoted by Jim over a year ago—led you here. You're a fantastic writer, by the way. If you ever want to write a guest post here, I welcome you with open arms.
You've written a better thesis than I did: "The pure physics of it all no longer provides more time to extend and pretend. We are there, now." Spot on!
Since the essay was getting too long, I had to cut some things I wish I'd kept. One was this: the square root of $40 trillion curiously took us back to 2002–2003, when the war on terror was just getting rolling. That's when we hit the square. Of course, you can find the square root of any number and speculate—but I just found that interesting.
And that period was something else, wasn't it? The dot-com bubble had just burst. Enron and WorldCom collapsed in accounting scandals that shattered trust in corporate America. The federal deficit was spiking. The Fed had cut rates to 1 percent—fueling the housing bubble that would eventually implode. Meanwhile, the country was reeling from 9/11, the War on Terror was ramping up, and we were heading into Iraq. The D.C. sniper attacks had everyone on edge. North Korea restarted its nuclear program. It felt like the world was coming apart at the seams.
Looking back, that was the tipping point. The system didn't stop. It intensified. It squared. And now we're living with the result.
I agree with you that there is relief in facing it. The pretending is exhausting. The extending is costly. Coming home—tending to what is ours, rather than policing the world—is the better move.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading. And thank you for the blessing. I do not take it lightly.
Another gem to put in the permanent file! "The square root of $40 trillion curiously took us back to 2002-2003 when the war on terror was just getting rolling" Talk about an undeniable factoid.

Thanks, Barbara. It keeps me sharp and reminds me I'm not just shouting into a void. :) And frankly, you just have smart comments and interesting things to say.
I don't have any permanent file, other than my head—but yes, isn't it striking? Makes one wonder if there isn't something more to that little formula. If there is, I guarantee you I'll figure it out. ;)
' Mohammed Soliman’s declaration is not a prediction—it is a diagnosis. The old order, built on American power and the petrodollar, has been destroyed by strategic overreach and systemic decay. '
Sorry ! .... but you're both wrong, it's the Olde Anglo/Dutch (American Globalist) Empires that President Trump is tearing down. Why do you think that everyone of the old deep state guard from bushy 1 to obama are all 100% against President Trump.
You need to watch Barbara Boyd of Promethean Action today to find out what really is going on. Her short 13 minute video should at least awaken some sort of curiosity in you, to find out what really is going on.
Thanks for the comment—I appreciate you taking the time to engage.
I've watched Susan Kokinda, and I think she offers a valuable lens. The Promethean view asks an important question: "Who is behind this?" I don't dismiss that.
Where I part ways—at least for this essay—is in my focus. The Promethean view looks for the who. I look at the what.
The Promethean view sees Trump as the cause of the old order's destruction. I see him as a symptom—the visible expression of a system that had already reached its limit. The debt was the bullet long before he pulled the trigger. Inversion does not pause for regime change. It does not care who holds the Oval Office. It is a pattern, not a conspiracy.
Let's say Trump gets exactly what he wants. He tears down the old Anglo-Dutch globalist empire—the petrodollar system, the alliances, the postwar architecture. What happens to America in the process?
The dollar loses reserve status. Foreign demand for U.S. Treasuries collapses. Borrowing costs skyrocket. The $1.2 trillion annual interest payment explodes. The debt trap tightens. The "exorbitant privilege" of printing the world's reserve currency ends. The U.S. becomes like any other indebted country—forced to tighten, cut, and contract.
Alliances fray. NATO, the UN, the Bretton Woods institutions weaken or dissolve. China and Russia fill the vacuum. The Middle East reorders itself without U.S. oversight. Iran gains leverage. The Strait of Hormuz tilts toward Iranian control. This is not stability. It is fragmentation.
Domestically, the social safety net frays. Payments to Social Security, Medicare, veterans, and military families could be delayed or reduced. Political polarization intensifies. The left blames Trump. The right blames the deep state. Neither side has a plan for what comes next.
Bringing production home sounds noble. But doing so while the global financial system is in chaos, while allies are alienated, while the debt is exploding—this is not a pivot. It is a crash landing.
What is left if Trump gets exactly what he wants?
A country with $39.2 trillion in debt. A dollar no longer backed by the world's demand for oil. A military footprint that can no longer be sustained. Allies who have moved on. Adversaries who have filled the vacuum. A population promised salvation but handed collapse instead.
This is not a smooth transition. It is not a peaceful restructuring. It is inversion—the extreme turning into its opposite.
The question is not whether Trump will tear down the old order. The question is whether anything coherent will remain when he is done. We shall see.
Thank you for the recommendation. I haven't watched Barbara Boyd yet, but I will. And thank you for reading.

Well….maybe not all. Because those trillions continue to mount. And Lincoln was right: You can’t fool all of the people all of time. BUT… you can apparently do it for a very VERY long time.
And then something wicked this way comes, picked thumbs or not.

The debt is to finance capital, including foreign nations like China and Japan.
Now that they're a big stakeholder, they have America under sword of damocles.

Domestically, the social safety net frays. Payments to Social Security, Medicare, veterans, and military families could be delayed or reduced. Political polarization intensifies. The left blames Trump. The right blames the deep state. Neither side has a plan for what comes next.
Bringing production home sounds noble. But doing so while the global financial system is in chaos, while allies are alienated, while the debt is exploding—this is not a pivot. It is a crash landing.
What is left if Trump gets exactly what he wants?
A country with $39.2 trillion in debt. A dollar no longer backed by the world's demand for oil. A military footprint that can no longer be sustained. Allies who have moved on. Adversaries who have filled the vacuum. A population promised salvation but handed collapse instead.
This is not a smooth transition. It is not a peaceful restructuring. It is inversion—the extreme turning into its opposite.
The question is not whether Trump will tear down the old order. The question is whether anything coherent will remain when he is done. We shall see.
Thank you for the recommendation. I haven't watched Barbara Boyd yet, but I will. And thank you for reading.
This says it all:

Well….maybe not all. Because those trillions continue to mount. And Lincoln was right: You can’t fool all of the people all of time. BUT… you can apparently do it for a very VERY long time.
And then something wicked this way comes, picked thumbs or not.
