I see this "new world order " term thrown around a lot .Have a broad brush look at what actually is the case .

clearly China is rising in significance and is already a very imortant and powerful country in the world which is the single biggest factor

russia used to have a GDP about 10% that of China but likel about 8 or 9 % now ....russia is no longer a very significant economy in the world and is losing power
these - whether we like them or not - are two facts

certainly China will begin to gain some power as the US loses some
perhaps India may gain some power too , remains to be seen , Presently of the order of double the GDP of russia and a lot less than Germany

so if you want to talk about a new world order (NWO) - that is what it is looking like at this moment
asia rising , russia falling and US losing total hegemony

the problem I have with the term NWO though is that conspiracy theorists and US haters use it to try and predict things there is no evidence of - because they WANT it to be
You people - you are free to hate the US but my message to you is to be realistic and honest about what the world situation actually is and NOT MAKE THINGS UP BECAUSE YOU'D LIKE THEM TO HAPPEN
The US will still be the leader of democratic nations for the forseeable future and the reasnably united EU countries and UK have significant power also.
there will be strong competition with China

THAT , in a nutshell , is the fairly predictable NWO .... in reality ...not in dreams .
(very rough and those with a brain may wish to improve and embellish )

I certainly don’t hate the USA or its people, tangs.

I’m struggling to find any relevant conspiracy theories to follow, most of the conspiracy theories I used to believe in are now factual.

I do have issues with the US being seen as the leader of the democratic nation’s, their position has always been “self interest” first and second.
Their foreign policies over the decade’s since WW2 have been responsible for a large part of the military conflicts since then with very limited success or positive outcomes for any of these countries that they have “helped”.

If we look at their democratic process and consider who they have elected to run their country over this century, it would appear to most that their voter’s are a bit “challenged” or their system is “very flawed”.
Just look at their present Potus and the previous one, Joe and Donald was their best on offer.
How reassuring is that?
It is no wonder that many people think that there is the possibility of a small group of elites that are manipulating the democratic process in the USA and many other western countries.
