"Regionalization” is the transition from a world of stable prices and consistent growth to one of rising costs of living where the threat of global famine is real.

The breakdown of an economic order framed by just-in-time supply chains requires a rethink of trade networks and relationships. Geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan addresses these issues and more in his new book “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization.”

Zeihan joins Real Vision’s Maggie Lake to talk about the implications of this transition, including the end of China’s time as a great power and the perpetuation of the U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency. "

Finland joins NATO in historic shift, Russia threatens 'counter-measures'
April 4, 2023
By Anne Kauranen and Andrew Gray

Finland ends military non-alignment adhered to since 1945
NATO accession spurred by Russia's invasion of Ukraine
Finland has made dangerous historical mistake, Russia says
HELSINKI/BRUSSELS, April 4 (Reuters) -

"Finland formally joined NATO on Tuesday, its flag unfurling outside the military bloc's Brussels headquarters, in a historic policy shift brought on by Russia's invasion of Ukraine that drew a threat from Moscow of "counter-measures."

Finland's accession, ending seven decades of military non-alignment, roughly doubles the length of the border the North Atlantic Treaty Organization shares with Russia and bolsters its eastern flank as the war in Ukraine grinds on with no resolution in sight.

Finland's flag - a blue cross on a white background - was hoisted alongside those of the alliance's 30 other members as a military band played in bright spring sunshine.

"For almost 75 years, this great alliance has shielded our nations and continues to do so today," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg declared at the ceremony. "But war has returned to Europe and Finland has decided to join NATO and be part of the world's most successful alliance."

Stoltenberg earlier noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin had cited opposition to NATO's eastward enlargement as one justification for invading Ukraine.

"He is getting exactly the opposite... Finland today, and soon also Sweden will become a full-fledged member of the alliance," Stoltenberg said.

Finnish President Saul Niinisto said Finland's most significant contribution to NATO's common deterrence and defence would be to defend its own territory. There is still significant work to be done to coordinate this with NATO, he said.

"It is a great day for Finland and I want to say that it is an important day for NATO," Niinisto said at a joint news conference with Stoltenberg.

The Kremlin said Russia would be forced to take "counter-measures." Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said Finland's accession raised the risk of the Ukraine conflict escalating further.

In dropping non-alignment, Russia's Foreign Ministry said, Finland was committing a dangerous historical mistake that would fray relations with Moscow and undo its status as a confidence-building presence in the Baltic Sea and Europe at large.

"This is now a thing of the past. Finland has become one of the small members of (NATO) that doesn't decide anything, losing its special voice in international affairs. We are sure that history will judge this hasty step," a ministry statement said.

Russia said on Monday it would strengthen its military capacity in its west and northwest in response to Finland joining NATO.

Ukraine hailed Finland's step.

"I congratulate all the people of Finland," President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his evening address. "Russian aggression clearly proves that only collective guarantees, only preventive guarantees, can be reliable."

END TO MILITARY NON-ALIGNMENT
Finland's era of strategic non-alignment began after the country repelled an attempted Soviet invasion during World War Two and opted to maintain friendly relations with neighbouring Russia.

But the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 prompted Finns to seek security under NATO's collective defence pact, which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all.

Since the end of the Cold War three decades ago, Moscow has watched successive waves of NATO enlargement, and the issue was contentious even before the invasion of Ukraine.

NATO has repeatedly stressed that it is solely a defensive alliance and does not threaten Russia. Moscow says the funnelling of heavy weaponry to Ukraine by NATO countries since the war began proves the West is bent on destroying Russia.

Finland's accession brings NATO significant military capabilities. It is one of the few European countries to have retained a conscription army through decades of peace, wary of Russia next door. Finland's ground, naval and air forces are all trained and equipped with one primary aim - to repel any Russian attack.

In Finland, people said their country's entry into NATO made them feel more secure.

In Virolahti, near the Russian border, retired combat engineer Ilkka Lansivaara, 70 - whose father was an air force pilot in World War Two - had hung a NATO flag from the side of his house. "It's a special day for Finland. Now we have power also behind us, not just our own forces."

People in the Russian city of St. Petersburg, only about 150 km (93 miles) from the Finnish border, said Finland would make problems for itself by joining NATO.

"We used to consider it a brotherly country of the capitalist world, the closest to us in spirit, in ... mutually beneficial economic relations," said Nikolai, a St. Petersburg resident. "But now we'll consider it as a state that is unfriendly to us."

Finland and its neighbour Sweden applied together last year to join NATO, but Sweden's application has been held up by NATO members Turkey and Hungary.

Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstroem told reporters it was Stockholm's ambition to become a member at the NATO summit in Vilnius in July.

Turkey says Stockholm harbours members of what Ankara considers terrorist groups - which Sweden denies - and has demanded their extradition as a step toward ratification.

Hungary cites grievances over Swedish criticism of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's record on democracy and rule of law."

"When the International Monetary Fund (IMF) releases its least optimistic report in the last 50 years, alarm bells should go off for everyone. IMF's projected global economic growth for the next year is 2.8%, and for the next five years is only 3%. The scariest part is that these numbers are likely overly optimistic."

Wolff Responds: "Globalization Unmasked" Dated September 24, 2025

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=QpY4xQk9_8I

0:01 Welcome and introduction to the theme: globalization unmasked.

0:11 The different meanings and associations of globalization, from MAGA denunciations to melting pot ideals.

1:17 Framing globalization as a tool used in the U.S. over the past 40–50 years.

1:41 The 1970s chosen as a turning point for globalization’s expansion.

1:55 Technological advances (internet, jet engines) made global communication and travel possible.

2:58 Corporate leaders see an opportunity to reduce costs.

3:05 Workers had fought for higher wages through unions and strikes, especially from 1945–1975.

3:36 U.S. prosperity after WWII, profits enabled rising wages but employers resented them.

4:29 By the 1970s, recovery of Germany and Japan created strong competition.

5:06 Consumers in the U.S. embraced Volkswagens, Toyotas, and other imports.

6:05 U.S. companies unprepared for competition after decades without rivals.

6:29 Employers adopt three strategies to cut wages: automation, moving production overseas, and importing low-wage immigrant labor for jobs that could not move.

7:36 Motivated by profit, companies relocate abroad, paying far less than American wages.

8:44 Question raised: what happens to the communities left behind?

9:42 Factory closures devastate towns; laid-off workers find no alternatives.

10:14 Those left behind—particularly Christian white males—become economically bitter.

11:09 A half-century of decline for these groups, fueling MAGA anger.

11:35 Historical resistance to “runaway shops,” but moves abroad were driven by employers.

12:07 Capitalism responds to backlash by promoting globalization as an uplifting idea.

13:03 Globalization framed as efficiency and multicultural unity, with promises of cheaper goods.

13:36 Reality: globalization masked devastation of communities, job loss, and opioid crises.

14:25 Anger grows; globalization now seen as negative.

15:16 Shift to subsidies and nationalism: paying corporations to return to the U.S.

15:49 MAGA rhetoric reframes this as “America first,” with tariffs and trade wars.

16:14 Nationalism as another veneer, no different from globalization.

16:41 Trump’s theatrics around DEI, immigration, and America first contrasted with reality.

17:14 Corporate subsidies lead to automation, not mass rehiring of workers.

18:11 Closing warning: don’t be fooled by these cycles of rhetoric—capitalist employers still prioritize profit.

18:15 Appeal to share the video and support production costs.

Globalization may have experienced a temporary setback following the election of Donald Trump, but its momentum remains unstoppable. Numerous factors will continue to accelerate this process. One easily understood example would be the disclosure of extraterrestrial life. Whom would humanity trust to represent Earth’s interests, who should speak on behalf of Earth? Would it be the President of the United States, China, Russia, a European leader, or a South American representative? Unfortunately, the default position would be to turn to the United Nations. After the initial shock, there would be a collective call for a unified global government. Under this disclosure scenario, most people on Earth would be clamouring for a One World Government. Various real or perceived crises, whether economic, environmental, or geopolitical, could and would prompt most of the world population to eagerly accept global governance.

Here is a fun and most likely a very accurate thought - For those with biblical perspectives, this moment could be seen as the point at which the antichrist emerges.
