Which Version of Global Dominance Appears Ready to Absorb All Others

in response to reader comment: Nightmares of the Red Terror in the Background of Attacks Reveal Shadows of Things to Come

Ironies upon ironies; does this latest conflagration reveal a circumstance that no one yet sees is developing; that the combined power for full global control is not yet accumulated and struggles to achieve that superiorty are to continue until such power is achieved?
That being the case, does anyone dare allow the Iranian Islamc Regime into the nuclear club, giving them the window of opportunity to tell everyone else to worship Islam.
But Islam has its own issues; after nearly fifteen hundred years, no appearance of their superiority is seen either.
And here, after a shorted sighted attempt from the last century, a Red revival, Russian style, is underway and potentially, this will keep the globe occupied for another six or seven years, like last century; futility abounds.
Dare we neglect the dragon empire, of whose dominance there have been many versions; yet there is limited evidence they will be able to achieve the superiority they desire; by all evidence they are older than the others, but never did they extend beyond their own fears; thus the wall.
Then there are the other minor autocracies of history, such as the Turkiye quasi-caliphate ambitions of empire; there does not fail for the lack of trying, even as they tussle for the remnants of the Greater Syrian (Assyrian) former areas of conquest.
But, then, there is that annoying little patch of territory that was promised to Abraham, Israel. Does Israel finally get free from all the desires of all the other nations that have tried to make Jerusalem their own?
The timing of that is approaching; we'll see how long it takes Russia to get to Galilee, won't we.
