As has been pointed out here many times, the plan is to make us interdependent. The global village (that really isn’t). And right now that is becoming more obvious as the war grinds on. We once were fully self sufficient but as Arnold Toynbee said in 1931:

“We are at present working discreetly, with all our might, to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.”
