the UN might well be just another false-flagged innocent panel.
i believe it's the rich who want to sell out the citizens to their desires to stay safe from the citizens.
force them to start jogging and drinking alcohol and watching TV again by outlawing smoking.
then turn the citizens into cannon fodder to be used in that war, that might well be along the lines of the map you just posted

then again, anyone can tell any story, produce a map to support that story, and claim "that's what's really going on".
so while your story seems plausible and straight from the heart, it might well *not* be what's really going on.
all one can really do is see the signs of the upcoming regional wars, and work hard to prevent those from happening, or if they do happen, work hard to limit their scope and casualties.
