It's becoming clearer by the day that the Western rules based order now “understands that its days as an hegemonic power are over. They understand its end is not decades away or even years away.
Their fear of losing control is palpable. They also know that they can't assert themselves militarily and weaponising the dollar is a law of rapidly diminishing returns.
Their arrogance, ignorance and stupidity will continue to dominate their actions for now because acceptance of the new reality is quite something else.”
