The Great Game once defined the 19th-century struggle between the British and Russian Empires for control of Central Asia. Today, it’s a global contest for power, resources, and strategic influence—this time between the U.S., China, Russia, and other rising players. The game has returned, but the rules have changed.
Trump understands what many still ignore—energy is power. Unlike his predecessors, he sees energy dominance as the foundation of economic strength and global influence. His vision isn’t just about oil—it’s about securing all U.S. energy resources: oil, gas, coal, nuclear, pipelines, refineries, AI. His push for Greenland, Panama, Canada, and Gaza isn’t random; it’s about territory as energy leverage, a strategic play for control in a world where power will be dictated by resource access.
