    Is the state of geopolitics under going a significant change in the last few months?

    • Xi isn’t talking to Biden. US diplomats are chasing down Chinese counterparts to even get basic courtesy.
    • China improved the Suadi/Iranian relationship.
    • Ukraine is trying to get China to talk more about their peace plan.
    • The German chancellor came to the US to say the US didn’t bomb Nord Stream 2.
    • The winter doesn’t seem harsh enough to have turned the tides in Europe
    • 7 countries in Africa are in revolt
    • Workers are rioting in France
    • US rail workers were stopped from striking
    • Credit Suisse got acquired as part of the financial destabilization that started with SVB
    • US capital is going on strike as hundreds of thousands of workers have lost their jobs at tech companies
    • Finland is joining NATO
    • Russia is planning to move nukes to Belarus
    • Japan is discussing arming itself
    • 200+ Chinese billionaires are no longer billionaires
    • Germany is having nationwide transit strikes
    • More international deals are being made in currency other than USD
    • China is outpacing the US in high tech
    • The US is committing to building hypersonic missiles, years after its opponents have
    • Mass shootings in the US are way up this year for the 3rd year in a row

    It feels like in the last few months, things have been accelerating. I’m seeing symptoms, signals, and shifts in the above list. It feels like before the year is out we may have one of those weeks where decades happen.

    Am I missing something? Am I seeing something?
