I have recently moved from predicting China's over throwing US as world leader to accepting it as something that happened - about 2016.

This perception helps a great deal. US stupid adventures in Syria with ISIS or in Kiev can be seen as actions of a loser not an idiot. Denial explains US behaviour much better than naivety (and we already know that the US acts solely with their eye on next weeks domestic opinion polls, not on next years).

Name calling is the act of a man being defeated, not a man still fighting.

MAGA was an admission of defeat dressed up as a refusal to acknowledge it.

Globalism (sacking US workers to replace them with Chinese workers while increasing the profits for US elites) accelerated the process and meant no one till Trump dared say what was happening.

The smart option - take 2nd place in a multipolar "rules based" world next to a benign China was not an option for American politicians and "diplomats". Actually I think that was right, the US is incapable of acting as a No 2 country, and by the time it has adjusted to a junior role it will be No 3 or 4.

The United States government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli political Action Committee.

Jewish Corruption in Ukraine . . . by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.

❝. . . the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.❞

Yes, Godfree. I was aware of these terrible truths before I came across you. And there really is not much to be done until the ruling oligarchies actually fall. Dangerous to tell the truth.
