Still the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry pile
This is the Triffin Dilemma at work, US has been sacrificed structurally to keep the global system afloat, which just delays an even bigger catastrophe.
Stands to reason it takes decades for the natsec apparatus to respond and turn it around, amidst powerful globalist forces resisting it.
USA cannot even fight a war now without Chinas nod of approval. China has won the trade war and dominates global trade in manufactured goods and commodities.
The USA and its deluded US Exceptionalists cling to their exceptional privilege ignorant of the fact that all their financial engineering is built upon an edifice that is crumbling. If the GFC did not treach you anything then you need a bigger collapse to wake up.
Meanwhile China is building the Post US hegemony trade payments rails and institutions are such changes are best done incrementally and not suddenly. Saudis, Iran, Russia and all the other BRICS nations are preparing for post SWIFT trade payments on Chinese based protocols like mBridge.
USA cannot any longer enforce its will anymore via sustained military force because it lacks the supply of rare earths essential to modern warfare.
Game over Uncle Sam. Silence.
So big, so beautiful and so rich, yet under recession for so long!
I think I can totally object this take sitting in India.
