The Dominance-or-Bust Strategy Explained

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom dives deep into the unprecedented era of global disruption we're all witnessing. With Trump's dramatic pivot from peacemaker to power broker, the rules of world order are being rewritten right before our eyes. Tom breaks down how America's shifting strategies—from military posturing over Greenland to aggressive moves in Venezuela and Iran—reflect a high-stakes "dominance or bust" approach that could either solidify American prosperity or push us closer to economic instability and global conflict.

You'll hear how the breakdown of the liberal world order, runaway inflation, and growing inequality have set the stage for a populist surge, with Trump acting as both a product and agent of this chaos. Tom explores the historical patterns behind today's dangers, like Thucydides Trap, and what it means for the rivalry between the U.S. and China. Most importantly, he’ll guide you through what all these seismic changes could mean for your finances and future—and why, even when times seem rigged and uncertain, you can still win if you know how to play the game.

Get ready for a no-nonsense, eye-opening look at power, politics, and how to navigate a world where only the paranoid survive. Let's get into it.
