China compromised. It eschewed de-dollarization to continue a dollar based export economy under the more liberal faction (Li Qiang…)
Russia compromised. It seems the same happens with liberal faction overtaking the war economy faction
And to be caught pants down with that Ukrainians drone attack
Iran compromised. The Sunni coalition and Amrikkka surround it and its allies like eagles while Israel bombs it with little reprecussion, with Baathists and nearly Hezbollah neutralized.
That isn’t to say their war is lost but that there’s no salvation from them outside, anytime soon 
All the while, creeps back in this petty pace of life, fascism in the full flesh, in the west.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Edit: I could be wrong but I don’t wanna be disappointed at this point
It is. But i think the actual inflection point is being able to take on and defeat the US (and whatever other regional us ally) military head on with a high degree of certainty. Because with the current behavior of the US a more aggresive china leveraging its economic and industrial and financial superiority will very likely lead to a military confrontation. So chinese superiority must also be concrete in military capabilities as well. At least as far as tech and force generation and supperiority in SEA and up to Guam. Its likely that the US cant be kicked out of asia and Chinas backyard, and the reality of power in the erea cant permanently be changed to Chinas favor to a significant degree unless the US embarrassiny loses the war they or taiwn will start.
That inflection point based on current trends most likely will happen within the next 7-8 years. I personaly wait for a china that has completed its current energy and military revolution and then judge its assertiveness or lack ther off regarding the US empire.
