What Comes Next? Predicting the World’s Future by Studying U.S. Power and Global Reactions History does not repeat exactly, but it rhymes . When we observe the long arc of U.S. foreign policy—from Cold War coups to modern military interventions—a clear pattern emerges. Power is projected in the name of stability, but the world responds, adapts, and eventually resists . So the real question is not what will the U.S. do next? The real question is: What will the world do with the U.S.? 1. The Pattern We Cannot Ignore Across decades, the same cycle appears: A country asserts independence (economic, political, ideological) The U.S. perceives a threat to strategic or economic interests Pressure follows — sanctions, covert action, proxy war, or direct force Short-term “success” is claimed Long-term instability, resentment, and blowback emerge This pattern occurred in Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Latin America , and more recently in West Asia and Latin America...

The Hidden Side of U.S. Power: From Cold War Coups to Modern Military Strikes For decades, U.S. foreign policy has been taught in classrooms around the world as a mix of idealism and global leadership — supporting democracy, defending freedom, and upholding global order. Yet, when we look closer at both history and recent events, another pattern emerges: realpolitik, strategic domination, and deep human costs . This story isn’t just about the past — it’s about today. 1. Historical Interventions — Democracy Undermined From the early Cold War onward, the U.S. often acted not just to stop Communism but to protect political influence and economic interests : 🔹 1953 — Iran (Operation Ajax) The CIA overthrew Prime Minister Mossadegh after he nationalized oil. This restored the Shah and sowed seeds of hatred that exploded in the 1979 Iranian Revolution. 🔹 1954 — Guatemala A U.S.-backed coup against President Árbenz to protect corporate interests (United Fruit).
