What that actually looks like. The fall of America as the global hegemon means more war and competition for power in that vacuum. Unless global communism pops up over night and fills the void itself. Doubtful tho, I think
Now that you mentioned it it isn’t working for me either. I don’t know where else I’d find the image to reupload it but the gist is it’s a chart of the national hegemonic cycle of capitalism going from the Dutch to the British to the Americans with a list of the ensuing wars in the inter hegemonic periods. Point being the US is declining in power actively and that means we’ll soon see a power vacuum that has historically resulted in global wars
There’s this scenario in my mind in which Corbyn won in 2019, then ends up merked for doing huge infrastructure investment funded by Belt and Road (along the lines of the plot of A Very British Coup, where Harry Perkins works around the IMF’s sanctions for nuclear disarmament by loans from the International State Bank of Moscow).
I assume at some point western countries are going to have to realign out of necessity, and :cia: is gonna :party-sicko:
Unfortunately, the opposite is happening. The 5 Eyes bond is stronger than ever, and Germany appears to be trying to push the EU closer to the US as well even if France is trying to pull away. Plus Japan and India trying to posture against China and beg the US to help to do it.
Hopefully more countries will stop relying on the US as much as they do.
