Wertz connects this to Lyndon LaRouche’s longstanding “new Bretton Woods” and “Four Powers” proposals, cites Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko’s comments on the Core Five’s significance, and argues the idea is reflected in President Trump’s creation of a UN-supported “Board of Peace” mechanism for conflict resolution beyond Gaza, noting many European allies and most Five Eyes members refused to join while Russia, China, India, and Japan were invited. He discusses Marco Rubio’s Munich Security Conference speech defending Western Christian civilization and criticizing Europe’s malaise, and he reviews themes he attributes to the Trump administration’s strategy documents: rejecting globalism, prioritizing national sovereignty, ending deindustrialization and net-zero policies, seeking a cessation of hostilities in Ukraine to restore strategic stability with Russia, resisting EU transnational regulation, and limiting NATO expansion. Wertz also references a Bloomberg report on a Russian “Dmitriev Package” memo describing potential U.S.–Russia understandings on the dollar system, energy policy (including nuclear), and broader stabilization, and he highlights Hamiltonian economics and the American System (Hamilton, Henry C. Carey, Friedrich List) as the economic foundation for a great-power peace-through-development approach, emphasizing the political stakes of U.S. midterms for sustaining this agenda.
