The New World Order Is Here, And America Isn't Part Of It
The age of American centrality in Asian affairs is over.
The architecture of American power, built painstakingly over seventy-five years, has been abandoned. This will be remembered as the moment when America's Pacific century came to an end.
Great read.
Former partners have concluded - with the speed of realpolitik pragmatism - that they cannot build their futures on the foundation of an emotionally unstable, shifting, petty, and small-minded American administration.
America's position in the global hierarchy isn't guaranteed. It can be lost with stunning rapidity when an economically illiterate con artist and a cadre of ideologues are drunk at the wheel.
Given the current direction of American politics, it's a good thing the loss of influence is happening faster than anybody expected.
thank goodness
