I will agree to attribute some cunning to both Trump and Putin, but I believe that much of this process activates itself.
To some degree Russia and North America (Greater), are natural allies, not competitors. If you can think in multiple dimensions this becomes obvious. The friction with NATO is that their map of reality is outdated by centuries.

Is it possible that the root of political science claims is to produce white collar jobs for people who paid for an education and do not want a real job?

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:
It is amusing to see historical projections in time about concepts of a future. For instance people in the 1920's speculating on what the 21st century might look like.
But I have been thinking about one feature of robots. So perhaps I will be seen as silly some century in the future if I am noticed at all.
While it is important to consider the productivity amplification that may come from Humanoid Robots, here I am considering the cultural effects.
I will call both humans and humanoid robots "Actors". Only because they can each act on society both physically and verbally.

Melania Trump pitched a vision of the future in which robots serve as educators who teach students about philosophy and art.
So, the robots may be able to communicate in multiple languages.
If it would come true that 2 out of 3 actors in Greater North American Societies would be humanoid robots, then I expect that language issues may be reduced. I myself am only 1/2 Scandinavian by genetics. I have a friend who told me that on a trip to Quebec the people there were very rude and refused to speak English which made it hard. I do understand the historical reasons. However, it does seem rather nasty to do this to someone who really is not English at all. But victim testimonies are not my purpose here.
If 2/3 of actors are multilingual, then in all areas of Greater North America, it will become very much easier to navigate in places where you do not know the language.
Your major activities being finding lodging, shopping, restaurants and so on, the issue of mono-linguistic cultures will not be nearly as much as it might be now.
If I understand how Optimus might work, you might take one with you when traveling, or your Optimus software may be able to manifest itself into a machine at a location where you have traveled to.

I am less certain about the "Vinegar" problem. Verbal and Violent rulers of limited use.
It is my opinion that language in humans first elevates the human race, but later sets up a predator and prey process that devolves the human race to rulers and producers.
Nature having taught humans how to efficiently manipulate objects, along the way they develop community and language. This then allows enough power to then create a civilization. After that however, you develop a specialized ruling class that avoids being productive as that requires effort and some endurance of discomfort.
The "Vinegars" emerge, and thereafter they keep trying to reduce the wealth of the productive people and keep trying to increase their "Vinegar" individuals in a society.
I think the curious thing is how much a Monarchy and Socialism resemble each other in the end.
I think we can see this in Europe. "The new boss, the same as the old boss".
Having said that I want it understood that I do not consider Elon Musk or President Trump to be Vinegars at all. Far from it. Very productive people.
I am not about jealousy of success, or I hope not to be.
America and Mexico are somewhat shed of the old Monarch Vinegars, but even so we suffer the emergence of similar kinds. But we have better chances than I think Western Europe and Canada have. The middle East is even more dammed than that, I fear.
The question is Humanoid Robot Actors with excellent verbal skills; how will this effect the Vinegar process?
Unlike a male Vinegar, they likely will NOT have the evolutionary compulsion to kill other males and mate with their women. And I presume that they will not have the same urges to avoid discomfort and toil. Unlike humans such robots might feel things, but could block unpleasant things. The females Vinegars ever hypergamous, will deplete the genetics and memes for productive behaviors in a society and ultimately put the human race back into the stone age outhouse, in my opinion.
The glorification of dominance is satanic in its nature in my opinion and is toxic to capabili9ties in the human race I think
The robots may displace the Vinegars to some extent.
I remains to be seen what actually happens, perhaps I will live to see a bit of it.

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:
This post like the previous one is my opinions with ideas borrowed from better minds than my own.
There is the idea of "When the Student is ready, the Teacher will appear".
This will be like tutoring, I expect. Something that commoners cannot afford for the most part. Commoners are the main source of value in human activity, with the exception of people like Elon Musk, and President Trump. (Oh, I bet you love me).
Teh Prussian Classroom was adopted by the American school system for reasons of economic efficiency. That is at that time it was not that bad of a decision. But at this time a greater emphasis on capability might be important. If 2/3rds of the humanoid and human actors were to be robots, then their will be the "Human Time" and "Robot Time". That is if robots can be active around the clock, then they may have different tasks based on human sleep patterns.
Presuming any humans still live, then during the day robots that did other tasks may in many cases interact with children, while they would be awake. And here you have the case where teaching can be at the rate suitable to the individual student or perhaps small groups of similar level students.
Perhaps everyone would be in a "Special Class".
"Trailer Park" kids that matured early could be kept separate from those with a longer childhood. And persons with aptitude for certain things could have those developed, but also those with impediments to certain skills could be given more time and effort to "Catch-Up" in those things.
The Schoolmarms will get a butt kicking. Also, the same for their male equivalent.
Thoe whole idea of stigma might only apply to those who refuse to try.
The feeding of egos, and the stigma of failure put to classes and grades, probably not a worthy way to evaluate the worth of a person.
Anyway, some sort of shift is probable, I expect.

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:
Peter Zeihan video. Different perspective. His focus is economics and trade. He's American, living in Colorado.
He talks about Russian oil exports, saying Ukraine attacked Russian export on the Baltic Sea and recently on the Black Sea. This may be a detail that doesn't matter, but Ukraine attacked Russian exports from the Black Sea first, and recently attacked the Baltic. And Ukraine attacked Russian oil refineries first; because they produce gasoline and diesel that fuel tanks, military trucks, and jet fuel for aircraft. And oil exports fund 70% of Russia's military. Bottom line: Russian exports will be significantly reduced permanently.
Second half of the video: US navy attacked an Iranian tanker ship off the coast of Sri Lanka. A large one, 2 million barrel capacity. 3,500km (2,200 miles) from the Persian Gulf. Basically, the United States is transitioning to a privateer navy. This is a formal break with everything that has allowed globalization to work to this point. It is now American policy, and only a question of who the Americans are going to target. He doesn't expect the Americans are going to be alone in doing this. This breaks down global agriculture, global energy, and global manufacturing. If you're dependant on any of those 3 sectors, you need to look at your parts or your inputs, and where your customers are. If they're in zones where there's a hostile navy, you need to just write that off. That includes everything in Persian Gulf, China, Black Sea, and Baltic. That is HARDLY an exhaustive list.

What a curious a turn. This may put Arabs, China, Japan, Korea, Ukraine, and the USA on the same side. We were a bit harsh with Ukraine, it seems true to me.
The Arabs and Greater North America (USA, Venezuela, Canada, Guyana) as the new OPEC servicing East Asia that makes stuff for those with Oil and Gas money.
Russia off in the shadows? Still selling to China, etc. IF Russia were smart it could offer weapons to the Arabs also, and screw Iran.

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:
This post might go along with the just previous one in my selfish opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS3z2qvp4yA

Iran War Winners and Losers: North American Energy || Peter Zeihan
Zeihan on Geopolitics
I will venture some of my own questionable analysis.
It is a "Conspiracy" theory of mine that two processes may have been in operation, somewhat propagated by alien powers.
1) Keep the USA down. De-industrialize it, and make it a falling empire.
2) Keep Alberta and Saschachawan down. Prevent them from acquiring too much financial and therefore political power within Canada.
As pirates go, I think I am rather benevolent. My thinking is to let the container called Canada do what it will inside of it's own container. IF there is a Canada, then that is OK, if there are plural Canada's that is also OK, with me.
I only bring this up because the moment is precious. Here Mark Carney apparently, if I should believe the materials I read, is a "Green Deamon" in league with sinister forces global. He is said to be a globalist financial wizard.
So, due to history, most of Canada Oil will be mostly under the USA umbrella for now. I do wonder if the restriction on exporting crude does not block the export of refined product, what American fuel prices will be.
Now Canada has some choices. If they can overcome the B.C. (China? British?) promoted blockade, and pump mass amounts of Western oil to the pacific, then financial power goes in the direction of the west. Unless the east can confiscate more of it.
For America, Canada western oil going though B.C. to the pacific, is not a loss. If Alverta gets rich they are likely to buy things from us. And cold-blooded thinking says that if we had to we could do military actions of blockade. (If Canada became a colony of some alien empire).
Other oil and gas of the Americas, such as Brazil and Argentina, might draw lots of money into the Americas as well.
This is just my cold analysis of reality. Good chances new factors will alter it later on.
