CHAPTER

Allegiance and Power Dynamics in Global Politics

This chapter explores the allegiance of political leaders to oligarchic interests rather than their citizens' welfare, drawing parallels between countries like Russia, the U.S., and Mexico. It critiques the pervasive influence of money in politics and the illusion of democratic choice, suggesting that global power dynamics are often rigged like a sports game. The discussion further examines the implications of nationalism and the actions of global elites, highlighting the interconnected nature of conflicts and governance across nations.
