All the global powers are collapsing under the weight of their own domestic problems: corruption in Russia and China, wokeism, bureaucracy, and internal division in the US and Europe. And demographic decline is the elephant in the room.
I should have added “lack of leadership” in the US and Europe.
Sounds like something Gordon Chang would write.
Who is Gordon Chang? I’m not familiar with him.
We really don’t know much about China’s economic status and some of the Covid footage they put out was so obviously fake that it was clear it was meant to scare the comfy, brain-dead citizens of the West into quarantines and lock-downs.
Taiwan needs to be tough and rely on support from USA (and Japan) and they'll be fine.
Who’s doing the best? Islam. The only thing that’s stopping them is that they’re not as technologically advanced. But other than that, they have everything.
This writer is an idiot.
He thinks corruption in Chicomland has not been endemic and rampant for decades?
He unknowingly admits his ignorance and idiocy here: “ Xi Jinping has been dealing with more internal struggles than were previously let on.”
He is too stupid to have known anything.
Apparently Xi doesn’t understand the meaning of “Made in China.”
Welcome to the party, pal, your products suck!
Everyone in China is corrupt, from the Central Committee down to the fruit monger on the curb.
Worse than us, even.
And their age pyramid is the wrong shape.
islam suffers from islam.
Culturally, politically, economically, morally, technologically, socially, basically everything that matters, they’re in the bronze age at best. What little they are capable of is to co-opt western advances for their medieval cause. A large and dangerous bunch of wastrels incapable of managing any country well.
I was sure this would be the Bee… 🤔
I disagree. Islam tends to dominate. Their only weakness is that they are not as advanced when it comes to technology. That’s their achilles’ heel. Otherwise, they’re pretty much unstoppable.
Islam isn’t even a contender in this race. What Islam has is unbounded fervor in a misguided message, acouple of gripes, and loads of weapons from the discount bin at the five and dime.
They never had the necessary societal infrastructure for inventions and innovation.
So India will have to stand up to Islam.
The dark horse is Latin America.
Islam may have a simple message but it is clear. You have to submit to Islam.
LMAO!!! Water rockets! What a MAROON!
Lol.
True.
Hey Xi Jinping: Change your name to Yu Dum Duk.
