“The Pentagon's New Map: War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century is a 2004 book by Thomas P.M. Barnett. In it he outlined a global strategy which is so cold and cruel it made my hair stand on end when I read it. Barnett described the world in a simplistic binary fashion. He said that the correct way to view the world was not as nations with borders but as two distinct regions, the GAP and the CORE.

If we live in the GAP we have two choices: Die or migrate.

If we live in the CORE we have NO choices: We accept immigration, poverty and debt.

If we view global events through that lens, we can easily see why certain places in the Gap are stressed with colour revolutions, wars or sanctions and others left to rot in poverty or smashed to a pulp by extreme weather. We can see how the Core is being deliberately over-stressed with out-of-control immigration and constantly increasing debt.

The map and further info can be found secluded within this episode of my latest novel:
