It’s not one government. That it seems naturally emerging, or connected to particular administration in the USA, or something like that, - these are all not important. Only what really happens, which has been constant over many years with all US administrations, UK governments, EU countries’ political situations.
It’s a very slow and gradual transition, because, well, faster transitions lead to more resistance. It happens all over the “western” world. It happens simultaneously with development of mass-scale autonomous weapons. Both are made more dangerous by having intelligence on any possible adversary on the whole planet. It happens in preparation for WWIII which the “western” world will start. Yes, I’m crazy, discard this all you want.
