What he said really does not sound that bad or damning. If you read the transcript. It’s just the truth. He talking influence through out the world, based on what other countries are doing. China for instance. China has, what? 2 billion people? And they have changed over the years from a pure communist country to one that is a hybrid of communism and capitalism. Is there anyone here that doesn’t think it is inevitable that China takes over the #1 spot economically? Hell, it’s just scale.
He’s not talking Social decline which is a whole nother thing.
From what I read he’s not talking badly of the United States. For once.....
The west transplanted technology and factories whole sale into a backwards country. The Chinese didn’t do it , we did it . Stupidly so.
