Donald Trump Jr.'s statement about the "military-industrial complex" seeking to trigger World War III is a classic example of a modern conspiracy theory that distorts the historical concept introduced by President Eisenhower. By connecting real events (arms deliveries to Ukraine) with a fictional, malicious plan, this narrative serves specific political goals: it presents Trump as the sole guarantor of peace, deprecates opponents as puppets of the "deep state," and undermines trust in public institutions. It's a characteristic example of simplifying complex geopolitical processes to the level of a simple conspiracy, fitting into a broader trend of populist anti-establishment rhetoric.

An analysis of the assumptions of Project 2025, prepared by the Heritage Foundation and conservative political circles, and their potential impact on American federal institutions and climate policy after Donald Trump's victory. I focus on changes in key agencies that could affect the fight against climate change and the geopolitical implications of limiting USAID's role, which could strengthen the influence of Russia and China.
