I wonder if all the insane stuff is allowed to play out, it could possibly create enough pain globally that everyone except the US gathers and starts working together better and cooperating, cutting the bullshit, and working to enshrine systems that are resistant to all the gaping flaws he’s exposed with his bottomless corruption and evil conduct

    think he’s accelerating the decline of the US empire. And I think a new multipolar world with China taking on a leading role will emerge shortly. Within a few years at latest.

    Thinking of geopolitics as a polarity is a way to make a complex subject more digestible, however when it’s examined against actual history its highly reductive.

    Even when the world was less complicated and communist nations weren’t a hodgepodge of mixed markets, nothing was delineated so cleanly into something as simple as multipolarism.

    Democratic capitalist nations still overthrew emerging capitalist democracies, communist nations still went to war with other communist nations. I think it’s a bit optimistic to believe that political and economic instability inexplicably births unity.
