Double-edged sword is a good way to put it. It should go without saying that the globalist end-state does not involve strong, sovereign nation-states; at a certain point these get in the way, and are phased out via pauperization, immigration, engineered civil turmoil, and enmeshment in transnational agreements and institutions, such as the TPP. At that point it is not anymore the national mind or the national will being debauched, but the national body being devoured.
