i think one of the many things the architects of the multipolar nwo are doing is to make the nation states so interdependent on each other, to make it really hard for any one country to be self sufficient. and to dismantle this system peacefully, through negotiations. look no further than brexit.
eg, destroy production in the us and shift it to china, energy from russia to the eu, the silk road, foreign investments all over, the imf, wb, wto, etc are like straitjacket on a sovereignty of nations.
