I believe I read a Chinese article or maybe it was Russian. Anyways they were talking about reversal of roles for China and the US, a need for the US to retreat inward with politics like Trump’s, um paleocon isolationists (well professed politics, actual politics of course is more complicated but just having that kind of thinking in the air and popular with the hogs can cause movement eventually) rather than neo-con interventionists and contrasting it to China’s increasing turn away from insular stance towards an outwards, global one. And that if the US didn’t adopt such a stance it would mean horrible conflict.

Basically that the best thing for the US and world is for people to come to power who are willing to take our toys and go home and build a wall and peer out from behind it. Rather than the Biden/J. Sullivan/Bolton/Pomeo types who are trying desperately to preserve empire and are willing to do anything. Who cannot imagine and may not be able to accept a world without US hegemony and domination and may be tempted to burn the whole thing down to prevent it or at least run around pouring lots of gas and tossing off plenty of lit matches.
