True. China,Russia, Japan & Korea taking over buying African resources. Bye bye American pie, drive your chevy to the levie but the levie was dry (levie=tariff)
add to this, how many Americans now root for the US to fail and for maga to be eradicated? Our energies will be directed internally.
What was the US will spend the next 10-30 years trying to recover - or going in full maga and becoming an extremely violent 3rd world culture
China plays the long game. America’s retreat from the world stage has provided China with an unprecedented opportunity to increase its influence and importance around the world.
Importance in what, exactly? Authoritarian AI? Dystopian technologies like social credit? Bullying neighbors? Cyber and industrial espionage? Repression of ethnic and religious minorities? Supporting Russia? All the things a fascist Europe would crave.
In an odd way and perhaps this is my optimistic nature trying to find a green shoot. But in an odd way the American tantrum and dissemblement of its role on global stage may as this article suggests provide other countries a chance to carry the ball and take weight of international responsibilities
Countries like China really are deeply intertwined in human history. As is India. And of course European nations. America is being a toddler right now. Maybe other nations and historic civilizations can pick up the weight the USA has carried a lot of for awhile. Still concerned will b problem tho
Who is bombing Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon? Who destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan? Who is threatening to destroy Iran? Who is trying to invade Canada and Greenland? Who is trying to take the Panama Canal and pay $0 fees for their ships to go through? Xi is that you?
Yeah, I know the US has done a ton of fucked up shit. Doesn’t make China’s treatment of the Uyghurs any less disgusting. I can call out both. Also fuck Trump obviously
The UN has been to China and dismissed all those claims about the Uyghurs, it was written by a German who never set his foot in China and published by Asia Free Radio which is sponsored by US government! I’m not saying China is perfect but there is a lot o propaganda against non Western nations!
Ah yes, the old 'it’s all Western propaganda' card. Funny how leaked Chinese documents, satellite imagery, and survivor stories all coordinated their lies, right?
But he did write the book on ‘How to make the deal’. I think he forgot to read it though. Other countries will start trading with each other and we’ll be in the dark. Another bankruptcy. Our country.

There is Trump’s legacy.

And the Russians are so relieved.
Trump plays right into the hands of America’s enemies.
He must have missed that class.
