Pandemic/COVID and US/IRAN War Aim to Disrupt Economy

Earlier today, I was drawing connections between COVID-19, the United States, Israel, and Iran. In my view, both the pandemic response and subsequent geopolitical tensions appear interconnected on a global scale.

The United States contributes about 22% of WHO’s funding, which gives it significant influence. I believe this influence played a role when WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic in March 2020. The declaration impacted the global economy, disrupted daily life for ordinary people, and increased public focus on mortality rates. Some argue that death reporting during the pandemic received more attention compared to previous years.

Later, in February 2026, the US initiated conflict with Iran, citing concerns over uranium enrichment and nuclear proliferation as a threat to global security. The war continued for months with limited negotiations.

From this, I conclude that major economies and global institutions are heavily influenced by a few powerful states, particularly the United States.

The United States of America no longer sponsors the WHO that is a big blow to the WHO as we have seen the effect of that decision on how the current break of Ebola virus is been handled, the world health organisation was really benefiting from the United States of America sponsorship and all that ended because the US felt fowl play in how the world health organisation handled the COVID 19 situation so for sure the United States felt who was being manipulated by another country so not everything is influenced by the United States of America.

I will say that powerful countries definitely has more influence in global affairs, but the important thing let's just separate influence from total control and major world events usually involves alot of factors, actors and interests and not just one institution or country. Most times decisions by international organisations can align with the nations that are powerful, but that don't mean that everything is well coordinated secretly. That's why evidence and critical thinking is very important whenever we do analyze complex global events.

From this, I conclude that major economies and global institutions are heavily influenced by a few powerful states, particularly the United States.

Aside the influence illustrated about the US government over the COVID-19 pandemic that disrupted the global economy to the severe nature of economy depression, the US had already been at the topmost of the influencing the global economy and geopolitics significantly as they are also the world power.
They aslo maintains a robust global military and international affairs.

So with all these being pointed out and undoubted, the US dominates major factors of the global systems.

They handles covid badly and in view of the worlds state, i'm more in favor of letting diseases run its course,
which would make human kind stronger although lesser in numbers.
