If the Neocons and the Chicago Boys hadn't backstabbed the Russians after the Wall came down, then it would be the US, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Russia uniting economically to keep China at bay.

I'm so glad that US leadership is based on a meritocratic system, i.e. the best and the brightest from the Ivies and similar. Or rather the dim bulbs with the best connections from once great institutions of learning.

Our future is certainly not bright. Imagine three more generations of non merit based hirings.
We already can’t build the Naval ships necessary, and can’t fill military staffing.

I would have preferred live in a country during its ascendancy…

been stating this for a long time

North America/Russia/Japan working together could have easily contained the Chinese and the rest of the world and kept them where they would never be a threat
