I believe we're dealing with a power structure that is essentially a massive empire at its peak, that is simply lying about its nature. I call it the Zionist-Globalist empire.
Israel is just the capital province, Tel-Aviv is what Rome would be in the Roman Empire, no more and no less. The United States, Russia, all of the EU and of course countries like Canada and Australia are just provinces. Small countries that are technically still sovereign from the direct control of this empire have to largely play along anyway because they share the planet with a great empire, which in 21st century makes them all neighbors. Ukraine and Iran are being attacked in large part exactly because they're daring to assert their sovereignty against this power structure. China seems to be another player capable of acting independently and having a bit of a spat with the Zionist empire but it's also very evil and pragmatic so it's still avoiding open conflict where bargaining and lies would suffice. But the question of who controls the production of computer chips in Taiwan will still have to be answered.
