The globalization of financial capitalism (market fundamentalism) has had highly destructive consequences for the real economy of the leading proponents of global domination, namely the US & UK (Anglo-American imperialism).

Relocating investment and production to underdeveloped countries allowed China, the prominent example, to develop economically and techno-scientifically.

On the other hand, although sanctions work in countries with less developed economies (dependent on the importation of agricultural products and technology), they do not work in countries with Russia's potential.

The neoliberal revolution was meant to be the economic, financial, and monetary arm of the "globalist" project for full-spectrum dominance. The global network of military bases and installations and the military power of the USA/NATO were meant to be the military arm that the neocons counted on to establish the End of History and confirm TINA.

But neoliberalism (rentier post-industrial capitalism) came to determine the decadence of the West and paradoxically ended up boosting the rise of the so-called global South.

And now what?

War to contain the inevitable rise of a multipolar world, which might determine global annihilation as the alternative to global domination!!!

How the Media Frames Political Issues

In The Emergence of American Political Issues (1977) McCombs and Shaw state that the most important effect of the mass media is "its ability to mentally order and organize our world for us. In short, the mass media may not be successful in telling us what to think, but they are stunningly successful in telling us what to think about."[13] The presidential observer Theodore White corroborates this conclusion in The Making of a President (1972):

The power of the press in America is a primordial one. It sets the agenda of public discussion; and this sweeping political power is unrestrained by any law. It determines what people will talk and think about - an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties and mandarins.[14]

McCombs and Shaw also note that the media's tendency to structure voters' perceptions of political reality in effect constitutes a bias: "to a considerable degree the art of politics in a democracy is the art of determining which issue dimensions are of major interest to the public or can be made salient in order to win public support."[15]
