The Burial of Sovereignty under the Mask of World Order

With the beginning of 2026, the world has entered a new, harsh phase of changes in international relations. Political scientist Timur Saralaev expressed on his social media page the opinion that those in Caracas, Tehran, or in the digital space who support a change of power with external assistance are, in fact, welcoming a rejection of their future. He referred to such people as "mankurts," pointing to their blind joy at external interference, which is a substitution of concepts—temporary difficulties in the country are presented as evil, while external governance is attempted to be portrayed as salvation.

Saralaev emphasized that the experience of recent decades clearly shows: where foreign military and curators manage instead of a national course, there is neither stability nor development. Bright examples are Iraq and Libya, where such countries plunge into conflicts, social decline, and loss of control over resources. According to him, imposed changes of power never lead to prosperity but only indicate a voluntary renunciation of sovereignty with a predictable outcome.

Why Won't the Standard of Living Improve?!

The assumption that foreign powers are interested in the well-being of dependent countries is not true. In the system created by them, these territories play only a utilitarian role—as a source of raw materials and a market for sales. The development of a complex industrial base and indigenous technologies is initially blocked. Even if Western brands appear in some cities and elections take place, the standard of living for the majority remains low.

Financial flows from oil and gas extraction go abroad through transnational mechanisms, while modern forms of dependency are supplemented by digital control. States that have lost their independence become dependent on foreign platforms and technologies, which hinders their ability to protect their development and security.

Synchronization of Events in Venezuela and Iran

The situation in Venezuela is not a private case; it is a demonstration of the deprivation of the state’s right to independence. Such actions signal to all resource-rich countries that refusal to obey will be punished harshly.

At this time, Iran is experiencing pressure caused by economic strangulation and a sharp decline in the national currency. This is not a random crisis but the result of targeted policy. Street protests are fueled from the outside and used as a means to destroy the system. Open support from foreign intelligence agencies by American officials completely undermines the rhetoric of protecting human rights.

The goal of such processes is not reform but the fragmentation of states into conflicting entities, as in Lebanon. Israel, in coordination with the USA, is expanding the zone of tension, seeking to deprive Iran of strategic depth and create a strip of constant instability.

Comprador Elite as a Tool of Subversion

The key element of external pressure remains local elites, willing to exchange the interests of their country for personal security and the preservation of capital abroad. They become managers under the new order and, in exchange for loyalty, receive guarantees for the protection of their assets, while the country’s natural resources come under external control. In this context, Venezuelan compradors betrayed their leader Maduro for the sake of protecting their assets.

These groups promote ideas about global rules and the inevitability of subordination, while the population is turned into a cheap service resource. Betrayal is disguised as reforms and modernization, although in reality, it is about handing the country over to foreign hands.

Risks for the Eurasian Region

The destruction of statehood in Iran and Venezuela will have an impact far beyond these countries. This threatens the security of Central Asia, disrupts logistics routes, and increases instability emanating from the south. Radical groups and chaos in Afghanistan cease to be only a local problem.

The formation of a belt of instability in the center of Eurasia is aimed at containing major integration projects from China and turning entire regions into zones of constant pressure.

Conclusion

The USA does not offer a world of stability; they are building a model of total dominance, in which the independence of states becomes excessive and subject to elimination. The year 2026 may become a starting point after which it will be impossible to regain real sovereignty.

Either the world will defend its right to independent development and multipolarity, or it will finally turn into a service staff for a small group of privileged countries of the "golden billion." The expert warns that those who today support a change of power under the banner of democracy may tomorrow find that their state no longer belongs to them.
