Wars Are Sinking the 2030 Agenda
Peter Kopa, Prague, February 8, 2026
Davos’s 2030 Agenda in Decline
At the same time, advocates of the so-called 2030 Agenda and the Davos Forum’s globalist project are watching with concern as their narrative loses legitimacy and meaning in the eyes of a public that perceives transnational elites as increasingly out of touch with people’s real needs.
The succession of wars, energy crises, inflationary shocks, and financial turmoil calls into question the dream of a technocratic and homogeneous “New World Order,” based on the deindustrialization of Europe, digital control, and strict fiscal discipline. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s return to the White House and his contacts with Moscow introduce a factor of uncertainty for these elites, who see some of their most ambitious projects in jeopardy.
The War in Ukraine

The international situation simply continues to worsen, and, in reality, an escalation could occur at any moment. Brussels would like to spend astronomical sums on armaments. This poses an immediate threat to monetary stability and social welfare. And what will happen when they take all our cash away? Will we be left completely defenseless? Will the “gold boom” continue to rise?
Kyiv continues to demonstrate a capacity for resistance and counterattack that time and again thwarts Russia’s plans for a quick victory. Russian missiles and drones continue to systematically strike Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, exacerbating the suffering of the population, especially in the middle of winter. Despite this, Ukrainian authorities refuse to accept a ceasefire that would freeze the current front line, because they view it as a de facto capitulation and an invitation to future aggression. The price of this stance is extremely high: thousands more deaths, a partially devastated country, and an economy in ruins.
European Incitement to War

In this context, the warmongering governments in Brussels, London, Berlin, and Paris refuse to consider a surrender or capitulation by Ukraine, because they have staked all their political, military, and financial capital on this conflict. They consider that any negotiation acknowledging Russian territorial gains would be a strategic defeat for Europe and NATO, which is why they continue to approve new packages of arms and military aid. But by prolonging the conflict indefinitely, they open the door to an unpredictable military escalation between Europe and Russia, at a time when European public opinion is growing increasingly weary of the economic, social, and human cost of the war. It is estimated that some fifty thousand soldiers are killed each month on both sides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOrZCrJ3ZuQ
In many European capitals, citizens are taking to the streets to protest against the shipment of weapons, increased military spending, and the decline in living standards.
However, the current democratic system lacks effective legal and institutional tools to curb the warmongering inertia of governments that hide behind commitments to NATO, decisions already made at the European Union level, and a supposed “Western unity” against Russia. This widens the rift between the people and their elites, fueling distrust in institutions and the rise of political forces that promise peace, sovereignty, and a change of course.
Middle East
At the same time, covert operations by U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies in the Middle East, particularly in Iran, are on the rise. The goal is to bring about regime change in Tehran. Despite the partial failures of some of these operations and the Iranian authorities’ ability to thwart sabotage and plots, the hardline factions of the U.S. and Israeli establishments have not given up on weakening or overthrowing the Iranian government. In this vein, economic sanctions, cyberattacks, and covert actions remain the preferred tools, with the constant risk of a miscalculation leading to open conflict in the Persian Gulf.
Greenland
As if all this were not enough, Washington has revived its interest in Greenland, a strategic territory in the Arctic under Danish sovereignty, claiming that control over it is vital to U.S. security in the face of Russia and China. President Trump has once again stated that he intends to “get Greenland one way or another,” and his administration is exploring ways to increase the U.S. military, economic, and political presence on the island. In Brussels and several European capitals, this pressure on the territory of a NATO member is creating additional tensions and fueling the debate over the extent to which Europe can continue to align itself unreservedly with Washington’s geostrategic objectives.
Trump and Putin
Trump has indicated that he wants to redesign the global security architecture, proposing new approaches to direct negotiations with Russia and China and expressing his desire to end the conflict in Ukraine within a relatively short timeframe. In this context, initiatives such as a hypothetical “World Peace Council” where former adversaries could sit together, at least temporarily, constitute a direct challenge to the logic of power poles that has dominated recent decades. The mere fact of putting them on the agenda reinforces the sense that the old liberal-Western order is entering a phase of profound reconfiguration.
All of this makes the international situation more volatile and dangerous. Brussels and several European capitals are announcing plans to increase military spending to levels not seen since the Cold War, justifying this by the need for deterrence against Russia and greater strategic autonomy. These astronomical military budgets directly threaten monetary stability, increase public debt, and reduce funding for social policies, pensions, and essential public services. The question that arises is clear: to what extent will European citizens accept sacrificing their well-being and social rights to sustain an arms race whose end no one can foresee?
Digital Money and the Flight to Gold
In this scenario, concerns are also growing about the future of physical money in the face of the rise of digital currencies, which would allow for total control over transactions and people’s behavior. If cash disappears, many fear they will be left completely defenseless against arbitrary account freezes, internal financial sanctions, and social credit systems disguised as “technological innovation” or the “fight against terrorism and money laundering.” The boom in gold and other safe-haven assets reflects precisely this mistrust: millions of savers are seeking to protect themselves from inflation, financial bubbles, and unprecedented monetary control.
Humanity finds itself, once again, at a historic crossroads. Either the logic of permanent war, closed blocs, states of emergency, and total financial control prevails, or the people force their leaders to open a path toward peace, cooperation, and respect for the sovereignty of nations and individuals. The outcome of this struggle, which is already being waged in the streets, at the ballot box, in the markets, and on social media, will determine the kind of world in which future generations will live.
