You’re not wrong, but there is arguably more nuance there. This becomes clear if we zoom out a bit more. Forget the Western unipolar outlook, forget the US is the Center of the world assumption. The unipolar world is dead. This propaganda machine and oligarchical financial establishment has largely destroyed itself by destroying its own population. They are presiding over a hoard of zombie banks, staring into a hundred trillion dollar financial black hole, and running a painfully bloated and corrupt military. The more the Western oligarchical establishment tries to encircle Russia and China and try to subvert these nations, the more they will expend the very little free energy they have left. The military is completely bloated and overextended. Their domestic industrial and manufacturing base is gone. Meanwhile, China has lifted 600,000 people out of poverty. That’s not a minor detail in the world stare gif situation. But again, for the average Western-centric viewpoint, these strategic sea-changes are completely lost on them. They believe US and European unipolar dominance is like a law of nature or something. They couldn’t be more wrong. So the emergence of a new Eurasian economic paradigm, overtaking the last 3000+ years of Trans-Atlantic cantered civilization is a new reality. Most people in the West don’t even know how to think about this, especially the ruling and “expert” class. Have you looked at the leaders of the Western military powers. General Milley? These guys are total incompetent jarheads. They are dangerous, but most of that dangerous comes from their incompetence, the belief among some that the Us can win a first strike or limited nuclear war against China or Russia. The Eurasian powers have largely rejected this decrepit speculative Trans-Atlantic system. Despite whatever individual problems countries like Russia and China have, they are not suicidal and they are committed to the survival of their nations and populations. Those running the current American system are if anything intent on dismantling the US, and European nations. They are committed to a new technocratic feudal age where in the words of Klaus Schwab, “you will own nothing and you will be happy.” These powers have spent their lives trying to dismantle the US industrial and scientific base, but the Eurasian nations have largely done the opposite. So don’t kid yourself, the Western establishment is in big trouble, and nothing short of outright fascism will allow them to control the situation for much longer. And a million things could go wrong there.
