Pic-rel explains why the US of A along with other Western countries could start wars anywhere in the world in 90s/00s and nobody was able to do anything about this, and now, in 2026, such trick is no longer possible. When the US launched war in Iraq in 2003, its debt was $6T (58% GDP), and there was nobody in the world to oppose this invasion or create problems for the US elsewhere: Russia was ruined by capitalistic transformation/Soviet Union collapse, while China was an economic dwarf producing plastic toys, and the US manufacturing was still strong.Today US debt is $39T (124% GDP), the country suffers from serious deindustrialisation, China is the biggest economy/industry in the world, while Russia projects pressure on countries like Ukraine/Bolanda ("Eastern NATO flank"). The Chinese can enable Iranians to produce millions missiles/drones decimating limited US hardware. They hold Americans by balls controlling rare earth and magnets needed for massive weapon production. Times changed along with balance of power. The US of A cant do whatever it wants anymore.

>>533693129>>533693353Ok. But China is bleeding out and Xi is on his last legs.
>>533697875The fact that in last few weeks like +90% of all posts recommended to me by Xs AI algorithms are "USA/Ukraine are winning, China/Russia are losing" means that situation must be really difficult for Mutts if they decided to increase number of shills and bots to such ridiculously high levels, oscilating around annoying spam xD
>>533698011>>533698011Nigga, I'm Chinese. My family and I already fled China because of all this.
>>533698011weird, 90% of the posts I see are the exact opposite.
>>533698235>because of all this.Because of what? The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. All my friends who come back here from their trips to China arrive with attitude that the West is already a 3rd world country in comparison xD
>>533698011Nigger almost every thread on /pol/ right fucking now is>American man are you demoralized yet?
>>533698818You should be demoralized after your own elites decided to poison you with modRNA/LNP bioweapon to gradually replace you with data centers. xD
>>533698989I imagine you just have some need to drag everyone down to your level, brown turd worlders never had any hope of being "moralized" to begin with.
>>533698011ah yes classicpic rel
