There is a blizzard of half-baked media analysis, uninformed reaction, and blatant coverup being spread all over “social media” regarding discussions among world leaders who have convened in Davos, Switzerland this week for the annual World Economic Forum. The carefully choreographed stage show of powerbrokers, such as BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink, and Canadian Prime Minister and former Bank of England head Mark Carney, would have you believe that a genuine exchange of ideas is unfolding. The reality is that it is an exercise in, not control, but loss of control by the self-doomed leaders of the trans-Atlantic financial elite, whose thinking is trapped within the containment of the City of London’s imperial geopolitics.

While many wigs were justifiably flipped by President Donald Trump’s speech at the Davos Summit, and his insistence that the U.S. has a right to take whatever territory it deems necessary to ensure its national security—including Venezuela, Greenland, and other sovereign countries—the accelerating physical collapse of the bankrupt NATO enterprise was the real cause for concern. Russia, besides having in effect won the “Ukraine” military conflict on the battlefield, has also already demonstrated, to anyone paying attention, that their Burevestnik nuclear powered missile has practically unlimited range, and can be directed wherever it needs to be, such as over the South Pole. This means that the Trump Golden Dome project, if it were intended to be defensive against Russian capabilities, is Dean On Arrival.

Other capabilities, such as the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, or the Poseidon unmanned underwater drone, far exceed any of the nuclear capabilities of the West. And if the Golden Dome is to be combined with other offensive capabilities to attack Russia or China, then we are in a new arms race to thermonuclear Hell. That is a Hell which can erupt far before the Golden Dome would even be built—if it can be built, given the wreckage which is the United States economy, let alone that of the largely-de-industrialized Europe.

What is not discussed or even acknowledged by either President Trump or the other world leaders at Davos is the underlying bankruptcy of the financial system. An orderly bankruptcy reorganization of that system is the only solution. We must take action such as that which American President Franklin D. Roosevelt took with the Glass-Steagall banking separation act; we need the policies composed by American economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche to return to a Hamiltonian credit system where productive credit is issued to restart the physical economy.

But the critical first task in the effort to return the world to a system of international law, is to establish a new, international security and development architecture, where the United States would return to an identity coherent with its founding principles, and join hands with the nations of the Global Majority. The International Peace Coalition, initiated by Helga Zepp-LaRouche and which meets every Friday, along with the Executive Intelligence Review, which hosted an extraordinary roundtable discussion on Jan. 12, “The Attack on Venezuela and How to Bring the World Back From the Brink,” are vehicles that can provide humanity with the tools to organize and change policy.
