Susan Kokinda delves into the current geopolitical strategies of the Trump administration, challenging the post-war order.
Highlighting Trump’s distinct approach in Iran, Venezuela, and the Middle East, Susan argues that the President is not following the traditional Western imperial playbook but is instead crafting new alliances and promoting stability.
From Venezuela’s leadership relations to the intricate dynamics of the Middle East involving Gaza and the Muslim Brotherhood, this video outlines the President’s efforts to dismantle the old systems of chaos and war, while building a Board of Peace.
Additionally, the video explores the global reaction to these shifts, particularly by elites who mourn the end of their empire, as epitomized by Mark Carney’s New World Order speech.

Snapshots and Notes
Another event where too many are focused on the shells and not the shell game…
This time, with Canadian PM Mark Carney’s speech in China about the partnership between China and Canada, setting them both up well for the new world order.
“As you mentioned, mine is the first visit of a Canadian prime minister to China in nearly a decade.
“The world has changed much since that last visit, and I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the New World Order.”
Those getting flustered or triggered by Carney’s speech are watching the shells; Carney isn’t announcing a new empire.
He’s admitting the old one is dead by referring to the globalists as being ready - NOT the world.
The global elites are scrambling because they actually don’t have a new world order 2.0 to replace the old one.
All they can do is panic over the chaos the president is creating.
That’s their new narrative.
And the New York Times even devoted a massive amount of editorial space to this exact point just a few days ago.
But if you listen to Donald Trump, he’s very clear that he is doing the exact opposite.
He has explicitly rejected all of the previous administration’s addictions to regime change and instability.
Reporter: “You said the meeting went well, why align with Delphi Rodriguez and the remnants of the Maduro regime and not with Machado, who has the support of the Venezuelan people?”
President Trump: “Well, if you ever remember a place called Iraq where everybody was fired, every single person, the police, the generals, everybody was fired, and they ended up being ISIS.
“Instead of just getting down to business, they ended up being ISIS. So I remember that.”
It’s not just Venezuela where the President isn’t playing by the rules of the post-war order.
This week, the neocons were caught flat-footed when the President did not launch a military strike on Iran; no regime change today.
Trump Rejects the Chaos Playbook: Venezuela & Iran (02:22)
What President Trump is doing in Venezuela and the Mideast shows he is not playing by any new world order script, whether it’s a new one or an old one.
And the New York Times had to trot out a bunch of British-bred or trained analysts to mourn the collapse of their empire.
True to form, four of the five contributors to this virtual obituary to their system were trained at Oxford, Cambridge, and the London School of Economics.
The NYT had to go directly to the motherland to craft its new narrative.
That is what President Trump’s approach to Venezuela and Iran, not to mention Greenland, represents to the elites - proof that their post-war order is dying.
And while they’re wringing their hands, look at what President Trump is actually doing; look at the White House meeting with the Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Machado, where she gave President Trump her Nobel Peace Prize.
First, let’s remember the recent history of who’s gotten the Nobel Peace Prize, like Barack Obama, and you’ll have a pretty good hint of who’s deploying Machado, whatever her own intentions may be.
Now, it did take a good two weeks for her sponsors to wrangle a photo op with the President - but is President Trump jumping on the Machado bandwagon?
Well, first, before he met with Machado, he posted about a very productive meeting with the new Venezuelan leader, Gelsi Rodriguez.
And then he had this exchange with the press…
Reporter: “Why align with Gelsi Rodriguez and the remnants of the Maduro regime and not with Machado, who has the support of the Venezuelan people?”
President Trump: “Well, if you ever remember a place called Iraq where everybody was fired, every single person, the police, the generals, everybody was fired, and they ended up being ISIS, instead of just getting down to business, they ended up being ISIS.”
Our note: it was discovered late Sunday (18 -Jan) that the leadership of Iran had killed Arfan Soltani, the first protester arrested, not by hanging, but in his cell.
Reports on X.com indicate that the killing of protesters by the Khoemani is still ongoing.
President Trump made clear that what he is doing is about stability, not another regime change operation, which gets us to Iran.
Now, if you want to look at the chaos principle in full operation, look at the Middle East for the past 80 years.
The President talked about chaos in Iraq, but it holds just as tragically for Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and, very much, Palestine and Israel.
And, of course, Iran has been central to the imperial Great Game for more than a century.
From the British-French overthrow of the nationalist government of Mossadegh in 1953, with a big assist from the Dulles brothers, to the overthrow of the Shah in 1979.
And President Trump knows that replacing one British-manipulated regime with another isn’t going to help anybody.
So he’s not playing by their script, and that has left the neocons in a state of shock when Trump did not launch a military intervention into Iran.
Instead, he put out a truth that Iran had canceled the scheduled executions.
What actually went on in discussions in the White House is not known, and anyone making definitive claims is probably way over their (skis?).
But we do know that President Trump is not into attacking governments and bringing them down only to replace them with another brand of globalism, leading to further destabilization.
Reports that President Trump was focused on the actual outcome in Iran of a U.S. military intervention align with Trump's intentions.
And clearly, all of the President’s Arab allies in the region are acutely aware of what a destabilized Iran would mean and undoubtedly made that known.
The response of the war party to the lack of an immediate escalation into a new war was disappointment and shock, especially among people like Lindsey Graham.
Graham immediately hopped on a plane to strategize with Bibi Netanyahu, whose desire to escalate against Iran is legendary, a desire that has been outflanked by the President on more than one occasion.
Remember, this is all taking place in a world where Donald Trump has upended the post-war system of regime change, and where Mark Carney has to pontificate about a new world order in Beijing.
Look at how the president is applying this same approach to the rest of the Mideast.
President Trump, unlike so many of his critics, inside and outside of MAGA, knows that you can’t solve the longstanding conflicts in the Mideast through a series of binary choices.
It’s not a question of being pro or anti-Israel or pro or anti-Muslim.
Those binary choices have been set up by the British and weaponized for decades, until now.
Neutralizing Britain’s Mideast Weapons: The Brotherhood & The Zionists (07:32)
Let’s look at how President Trump is moving to neutralize Britain’s primary binaries, the Muslim Brotherhood and the hardcore Zionist element, epitomized by Bibi Netanyahu.
Here’s how it’s played out in recent days…
First, we have the headlines about the new Gaza phase two plan.
But what’s kind of flown beneath the radar screen is also how President Trump and allies are moving against the Muslim Brotherhood.
First, let’s turn to Gaza - on January 15th, President Trump announced that we’ve officially entered phase two of his 20-point comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflicts.
Here’s what the MAGA faction, which insists that Trump has sold out to the Jews, won’t tell you.
Trump is not following Netanyahu’s playbook; he’s writing his own.
Look at who’s involved in this peace plan.
The new national committee for the administration of Gaza is a technocratic government that will govern during the transition, and it’s led by a Palestinian, not an Israeli-approved administrator or someone from Netanyahu’s coalition.
And look at the partners that Trump has brought in…
His Truth Social Post says explicitly, with the support of Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, we will secure a comprehensive demilitarization agreement with Hamas.
Turkey and Qatar, let that sink in - these are not Netanyahu’s friends.
Remember back in September: Israel carried out a strike in Qatar to attack the Hamas delegation on its way to these negotiations.
Yet Trump is building his Board of Peace with these exact countries at the table.
The Board will be structured with Trump at the top, alongside representatives from Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, and the UAE, as well as Europeans, including the British.
The President continues to make clear to Israel, it’s we and these countries that I’ve chosen that will take care of Hamas, not you.
Here’s what he said...
So, why is Sir Tony Blair on the Board?
Well, that is a good question.
Whether it’s a case of keeping your enemies close or leveraging Blair’s extensive Arab ties for specific tasks, the President clearly has a plan and it’s not Tony Blair’s.
But there’s another layer to this story that almost no one is discussing.
While the headlines focus on the obvious players, Trump and his team are quietly moving against the real infrastructure of regional destabilization, the Muslim Brotherhood.
On January 13th, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the designation of the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanese chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.
This isn’t symbolic, this is surgical.
Rubio stated clearly that the United States will use all available tools to deprive these Muslim Brotherhood chapters of the resources to engage in or support terrorism.
And simultaneously, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant announced the Treasury will cut off these organizations from the global financial system.
Now here’s where it gets really interesting regarding Britain.
The UAE just announced it will cut funding for citizens who want to study in the United Kingdom out of fear that their Emirati students could be radicalized by Muslim Brotherhood Islamists in Britain.
Think about that.
An Arab Muslim nation now views a European nation as a dangerous Islamist radicalization hotspot.
And that’s not my analysis, that’s the UAE’s.
So this British operation is being exposed and rolled up.
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, has been the vehicle through which British imperial interests have manipulated the Middle East for nearly a century.
And through there, they’ve spawned manifold terrorist groups, fomented coups, and destabilized governments from Cairo to Damascus.
And this brings us to Egypt.
On January 16th, President Trump sent a personal letter to Egyptian President el-Sisi, thanking him for his mediating role between Israel and Hamas.
He has also invited el-Sisi to serve on the Board of Peace, although the Egyptian president hasn’t yet accepted.
Why el-Sisi?
Because Egypt has been ground zero for the Muslim Brotherhood fight.
El-Sisi came to power in 2014 by removing the Muslim Brotherhood’s President Mohammad Morsi, one of the first Arab Spring operations that Barack Obama supported.
And el-Sisi banned the Muslim Brotherhood as an organization.
So he’s not learning about this threat from a briefing book, he’s lived it.
And President Trump, by bringing el-Sisi to the table as a partner, is placing the man who actually defeated the Brotherhood in a central role.
That’s not a coincidence, that’s strategy.
So what’s the real picture here?
Whether we’re looking at Venezuela, Iran, Gaza, or the Muslim Brotherhood, the pattern is unmistakable.
President Trump is not following the old imperial playbook of regime change through chaos.
He’s not letting Netanyahu dictate terms that serve endless conflict.
He’s not allowing the British-connected Muslim Brotherhood networks to continue operating with impunity.
Instead, he’s building something new, a Board of Peace with a Palestinian technocrat and Egyptian, Turkish, Qatari, and UAE diplomats at the table, a financial and legal offensive against the Muslim Brotherhood that cuts off the infrastructure of destabilization.
Now, remember what Mark Carney admitted back in October at APEC, that the rules-based order is over and now he wants to create a new one?
Remember what those British-bred analysts lamented about in the New York Times, that Trump has ended 80 years of global control?
Well, they’re not wrong, but what they call destruction and chaos, we call liberation.
Liberation against a modern imperial system.
We’re at a historic branching point.
The old order created war, chaos, and permanent enemies, while keeping the empire in control.
What Trump is building with sovereign nations as real partners and shared economic benefits is a mortal threat to that empire.
And he’s going to deliver that message again at Davos, so stay tuned.
