Corporate interests are always primary.

This is so fucking funny. The absurdity of this. Scale it down...

Pretend each country is one person. Russia is beating the shit out of Ukraine, taking their belongings back from him. The rest of the world disapproves, so they all refuse to allow Russia to sell anything and make money.

But then.... the USA and some others start getting really hungry. Ukraine is nearly dead, Russia is stomping his gay face in.... but USA is really hungry. So USA meekly taps the Russia Chad on the shoulder, interrupting his righteous beating, and says "Hey... we'll buy food from you. BUT NOTHING ELSE, YOU MONSTER! WE HATE YOU AND WILL RUIN YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO OUR FAGGOT, UKRAINE! So... you only take rubles now, right? Here ya go."

That's what is happening here, just scaled way up.

The sanctions regime is collapsing.

Bottom line, you cannot establish global government by force. None were ever strong enough to do it.

Cooperation is required, and cooperation requires discussion and agreement.

What we have now is disagreement.

We are now returning to cold war status between the global superpowers, and so far nobody knows what the end product of that is going to look like. So you could say that what is happening now is they are just setting up some new boundaries for a new multi polar global system.

Remember, during the previous cold war, we still traded stuff like food. America sold grain every year to both Russia and China, because Communists can't grow enough food to feed themselves. Now capitalist Russia is a major food exporter.

Global government is still possible, but a new agreement will be required. Euro dominated globalism is finished.

They're Gung-ho for sanctions that hurt regular people, but sanctions that might make the ruling class share in the sacrifice are out of the question.
