I agree. What we're seeing is a “dead cat bounce” after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the triumph of (admittedly fascistic) capitalism in China. There will be bumps in the road caused by countries that no longer are important to the Cold War and that have some extra cash (Venezuela, Iran, et al), but most of the world, especially the larger countries, see that capitalism and democracy are the way to go, even those that seem resistant now. Most everyone here seems very worried about the Muslims in Europe or the leftists in South America or that little mutant in North Korea. Those are comparable to Cubans in Angola or Communists in Greece. We no longer have 20,000 nuclear warheads on the ready to launch in our direction, and those countries that seem to be a threat now would fold in a two-day real war if they ever started anything. The world is getting richer and richer, fewer people are starving or going to gulags, and everyone is online. The end of the world is a long ways away. Not saying that there might not be a couple of hits here and there, but our future's so bright, we've got to wear shades.
