Promethean Overview Mike Steger explains how Trump’s move on Iran fits into a larger strategy that could reshape globalization and the future of world power. Mike Steger Mar 14, 2026 For decades, the world has operated under the system of globalization — multinational corporations, international institutions, and a global economy built on cheap labor, financial dominance, and constant geopolitical tension.But what if that system is now beginning to unravel?In this week’s Promethean Overview, Mike Steger examines the strategy behind President Trump’s move on Iran and how it may fit into a much larger effort to dismantle the globalization model that has shaped the world for the past forty years.Rather than viewing recent events as isolated conflicts, this analysis looks at how multiple geopolitical shifts may be connected as part of a broader strategic transformation.This episode explores how major developments are unfolding across five key regions:The Middle East and the global energy chokepointChina and the future structure of global tradeRussia and the potential end of the long-running “Great Game”The Americas and a revived Monroe DoctrineThe United States and the return of the American SystemTaken together, these developments point toward what Mike calls “The Great Change” — a possible shift away from the era of globalization and toward a world organized around strong, sovereign nations focused on development, production, and national prosperity.Watch the full breakdown above to see how these regions connect into a single global strategy.Chapters00:00 — Trump, Iran, and the “Great Change”00:43 — The globalist era: managed decline & corporate control02:33 — The Middle East chokepoint (energy, shipping, leverage)03:13 — Divide-and-conquer: Brotherhood, Israel, permanent war logic04:30 — October 7th as a disruption of normalization & development05:21 — China and the economic reset after globalization06:40 — Fair trade vs. Cold War: what the squeeze is meant to do08:08 — Russia and ending the Great Game10:47 — The Americas: Monroe Doctrine, cartels, and border strategy12:35 — Hamilton’s American System & re-industrialization14:39 — Final call: rebuilding nation-states & civilizational confidence Author Mike joined LaRouche’s last campaign for President in 2002.
