An Unannounced “Alliance” Is Changing the World

The world is changing rapidly. Power balances are being redrawn. Just 10–15 years ago, the United States, the European Union, Russia, China, India, Israel, and dozens of other countries were engaged in various alliances, partnerships, or rapprochements.

But in that short span of time, these alliances, partnerships, and rapprochements have fallen apart.

What has happened in the world?

The U.S.–Russia rapprochement has reversed. Any prospect of joint action was blocked. Harsh political clashes and mutual accusations ensued. Allegations surfaced that Putin had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections to help Trump win. U.S.–Russia relations collapsed.

Brexit and the Disintegration of the EU

Meanwhile, Brexit took the United Kingdom out of the European Union in 2020, tarnishing the EU’s once-promising image. Speculation began over whether the Union would face further exits and eventual disintegration.

The Ukraine War Shattered the “Crusader World”

The war between Russia and Ukraine, which began in 2022, struck like a bomb at the heart of the Western alliance. The conflict pushed the U.S. and Russia even further apart. Europe and the U.S. became hostile toward Moscow and imposed heavy sanctions.

Although belonging to different branches of Christianity—and at times acting with a shared “Crusader spirit”—the U.S., Europe, and Russia became bitter adversaries.

U.S.–Europe Relations and the Transatlantic Rift

When Russia was banned from selling oil and gas to Europe, Washington’s stance became: “I’m providing your security, and you’ll pay the price for it.” This left Europe facing a “the lesser of two evils” dilemma. Forced to bow to U.S. demands, European governments saw public discontent rise, driven by inflation and declining purchasing power. Transatlantic relations suffered a major loss of trust and credibility—and they will never be the same again. U.S.–Europe ties are rapidly unraveling.

The Collapse of U.S.–China Relations

The fortress of capitalism, the United States, once saw China as a cheap manufacturing hub, with thousands of major companies setting up operations there. This arrangement also suited Beijing’s politically socialist but economically capitalist system.

However, developments began to weaken the U.S. and European economies. In response, they launched economic wars. Seeking to undermine Beijing, Washington and its allies used Taiwan as leverage—but China refused to take the bait. Now the conflict continues in the form of tariff battles. The U.S.–Europe–China economic partnership has become a thing of the past.

U.S.–India Relations Turn Sour

The world’s most powerful country and its most populous nation were once close allies, often at Pakistan’s expense. Washington regularly pressured Islamabad, negatively impacting many aspects of the region.

India, under the now-toppled anti-Muslim Hasina regime, maintained close ties with Israel, Greece, Armenia, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

Then something changed. The U.S. and India began clashing more and more, drifting apart at a rapid pace. Recently, Washington has been showering praise on India’s chief rival and adversary, Pakistan. Pakistan’s Army Chief, Marshal Asim Munir, visited the U.S. for the second time in two months, delivering a bold message to both Washington and New Delhi: “If our country faces an existential threat, we will take half the world down with us.” This signaled a newfound confidence.

The End of Israel and Zionism

Until the October 7 Aqsa Flood operation, Israel was the spoiled child of the world, carefully protected everywhere. Palestinians were branded as terrorists by many states. But in the past 20 months, the picture has reversed.

Now, Israel is seen as a “genocidal terrorist,” and Palestine as the “oppressed defending its homeland.”

The vast international influence of Israel and Zionist capital—in finance, media, politics, intelligence, and economics—has proven useless.

All states except the U.S. are withdrawing their support for Israel, and Washington’s abandonment of it is only a matter of time. Zionism has become an ideology that disgusts humanity.

Destroying Gaza but still losing the war, Israel has gained nothing for itself or for Zionism. Its genocide in Gaza has backfired globally. After 20 months, it still cannot enter the tunnels, nor eliminate Hamas—a massive fiasco. Its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon and on Iran were acts of political suicide.

Finally, inciting Druze groups in Syria, bombing Damascus, and carrying out various other operations in the region have all worked against Israel and Zionism. There is no way for Israel to regain its reputation or recover its losses.

Was This All Coincidence or a Plan?

The West suspects the existence of an “unannounced global power center” that has planned and executed all these developments—but it cannot see it or define it.

Israel, the West’s “Mine Donkey”

The Western world, reluctant to burn its own hands, provokes and uses a small but psychologically dominant global elite of Jews as a front-line fighter—deliberately pushing Israel into ever more extreme brutality. How else can we explain why the West has stood so firmly behind Israel despite such atrocities?

The West is using this cursed society as an open “mine donkey.”

Judging by how rapidly Western countries are now aligning themselves as defenders of Palestine and opponents of Israel, it seems they have understood the “power center” driving this global transformation.

We are now trying to see and understand this worldwide change and transformation. Inevitably, the time will come when we all recognize this “power” or “strategy” that has thrown the world into chaos, only to rebuild it into a new order.

One might reasonably ask: “If such a center exists, why does it wait while thousands of innocent civilians and babies in Gaza are slaughtered every day?”

On the surface, this seems like a perfectly logical question. But states do not act emotionally, as individuals do. The shape of a move matters, but so does its timing.

A blow against Israel will not target only that artificial state—it will be the first domino to fall, setting off a chain reaction that topples many others. It seems that all the dominoes must be perfectly aligned before the first is struck. And it appears we are nearing that moment.
