I'll address only a few points:

Point 1: Left vs Right

- Trump / Right-wing at this point in history is pro-freedom.

- Left-wing at this point in time is now pro-war, pro-censorship, anti-democratic.

Why the anomaly? Because the Deep State (civil service and others) are behind that shift towards consolidation of power, and it was easier to remove freedom than to coopt it.

Point 2: Great Powers

- I don't trust China, Russia, or the US. More power blocs weakens each of the Great Powers which is positive for citizens in those countries. At least in the sense that citizens in those Great Power countries won't go to war with each other, barring new alliances, in which case we're back to the era around WW1, and we know how that ended.

Point 3: Individual Safety

Escape to South or Central America is because nobody is interested in attacking it. That's personal safety in the event of war, and knowing that the idea of a real war (something outside of Ukraine) is not on most people's radar scope.

Point 4: Lending

Lending should always be for-profit. Meaning that those capital resources can be loaned domestically instead of to poor countries. So it's now an option of better your own citizens by investing in domestic needs, or take a long-term view and better your citizens by making smart investments that can be repaid.

There's no reason for any Lending Country to detriment its own citizens (not the US, China, EU, or anyone else), and impoverish itself.

At the same time it makes sense for Lending Countries to build their military in order to back their loans. China is doing exactly that (look at the rate of growth of China’s military and its international lending).

I know you will say China hasn't been aggressive. My response is "yet". I would have the same response for any Great Power. That's me being an ultra-realist.
