On a broader level, geopolitical manoeuvring involving heads of state such as Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and their influence over figures such as J.D. Vance, would strain global alliances. If Trump’s administration continues to pursue reactive, conflict-driven policies in Ukraine and the Middle East, the impact could extend well beyond his term, especially if unforeseen events such as illness or other causes end his presidency within months. With the US economy seriously headed for hyperinflation, a successor like Vance could lack either the means or the will to wage costly wars that will change global dynamics in unpredictable ways.
If nations respond with resistance or new alliances, tensions could escalate further. In such turbulent times, the wisdom lies in turning inward, strengthening relationships with aligned family members and trusted friends, and being as independent as possible. For at least the next three to eight years, this will need to be a priority. Ask yourself: What is my vision of stability by 2028 and further to 2033? How can I project harmony? How can I make a meaningful contribution? What unique skills can I offer to support others?
