So the reality of a trump presidency is setting in and I’m starting to think of the historical transitions of “world powers”. As a hegemon, the US emerged as a world power as a victor in WW1, WW2, and the cold war, all of which were violent conflicts. Now, the US falters as China emerges as their respective philosophies on government play out.
Is there any way the US passes the baton to China in a peaceful manner?
What does that mean for us in the near future?
How’s your Saturday night?
I thought about that, but I think that that’s in a different category than the USSR’s dissolution.
Yeah definitely Yugoslavia was in the Balkens not Eastern Europe, and non aligned movement not Warsaw Pact. It’s more like if China broke apart and there was a restoration of “liberal democracy” and oligarchs etc, then Vietnam broke out in a Civil War due to US meddling economically, politically and covertly.
