It's the world dude. Were you figuring on a change?

We are born into a condition of animus of one toward and among others. The best we can do is try to rise to a nobler disposition, which is an individual endeavor, even though organizations are usually founded upon noble principles. The entities you are worried about have their own agendas, which for the most part are far less favorable than those of the US. The closer you get to a struggle just to survive, the more unsavory the circumstances. The US at least has a regard for human rights and responsibilities and is checked accordingly. The US also has a vision of growth and prosperity which tends to improve the conditions for all involved.

"What is the end game?"

Everyone suffers, everyone struggles to improve their circumstance, some prosper, some don't, some act beneficently toward others, some don't, we all die... power shifts, empires rise and fall.

"What happens if/when "we win" and control the entire world?"

Its a myth, no one wins, no one controls the world.

The height of empowerment obtained by the USA was probably between 1950 and 1980, which would not have been extended that long without the rise of the information technology industry. Since then, fogettabottit. We survived as a power on our reputation as guardians of the free world until around the turn of the century, but now we have lost even that. We are going broke, our society is wrought with division and degradation, our leaders are selling us out and in any event, they are viewed as weak and relatively inconsequential by the rest of the world. We are heavily indebted to the world's economic powers, which comes with more than just an economic obligation.
