Sorry, but you are just plain wrong.

The guy is talking about who controls wealth and resources. Considering that the 1 billion people in Europe and North America control about half of the world's economy, this is not speculation, but merely a statement of fact.

These nations (but really the US) has a huge lead in technology and eeven larger lead in military prowess.

We have created international organizations in which power is divided based on economic and/or military size, not population, thus ensuring that we control those organizations.

There is nothing wrong with this. But there is little value in denying that what this man purports (for the most part)corresponds to reality.

I agree with his analysis and support the status quo.

Again, The definitions are wrong. "America" and the "Euros" don't CONTROL anything(well, maybe some European governments do), they are just governments which secure the rights of their people. And European GOVERMENTS have long been without a military to protect them. Those are just statement of fact. You're a Marxist aren't ya'.

Then "WE" haven't created anything, the U.S. government has a policy of supporting a stable world financial system which is inherently unstable. The IMF was born form the ashes of world war 2 to regulate the financial system between the European and American economies and has evolved overtime to cover other functions. Notice the Marxist flaw, that somehow we planned a system of economic warfare between classes of countries. Just ridiculous. I believe Hayek termed this "The Fatal Conceit"
