I'd agree with alot of your sentiments but there are a few things you're forgetting.

1. China's debt to GDP is 280%, which is why companies like tencent are looking for outside investment but since the global economy is going debt wise as well, their investments and currency are going to be hit by inflation. When that happens, the physical assets they have will be worth a whole lot more. Which also brings up what happens to assets in foreign countries if they can't protect those from a starving local populace.

2. Russia's in a weird place. They're still seeking to influence their neighbors and such but Putin is 68 which I know is a decade behind Biden but there were rumors of him having Parkinson's last year, this rumor could be spread by America as it was mostly reported only on western outlets but he is getting up there in age and as a result, his successor will have to fight off contenders that are probably backed by the west to gain control of Russia. Russia still has alot of untapped natural resources that globalists would love to import the 3rd world to exploit. I foresee internal conflict rather than expansion in the future, Navalny was just the first casualty of challenging Putin.

3. Taiwan is even more fiercely independent than ever. Their first female PM, yes I know don't tell Impossible1, was re-elected in 2020 and on both her inauguration addresses stated that they would never be "one country, two system", because one only needs to look at Hong Kong to see how well that turns out. As a result, they upped their Defense spending to 8% of GDP and have been constructing native Defense industries with attention to ship building and aircraft manufacturing so they don't have to rely on US imports and support. They've been doing this since 2017 and are seeing results now.

4. The Middle-East is always a mess. You've got national, ethnic, religious and political lines to consider and any group you deal with will have 3 of these traits and hate other groups who share even similar traits of their own. Israel is a parasite that absorbed the might of the US, Iran threatened Israel with developing nukes unless paid off by the US, both Turkey and the Saudi's just bought US equipment because they can. What I can say is that there is no regional dominant power is exactly how Israel wants it. If Iran became the dominant power, you'd have a Shia dominant country with Turkey and Saudi being Sunni and they wouldn't like that. If Saudi's went on strong, Iran wouldn't like that and nukes might follow.

5. America is at trouble on the homefront, derisive propaganda will do that and China's exploration of funding that propaganda left by the cracks the old USSR channels left shouldn't be understated. They're proving effective at crippling the military with things like Women in the forces and pregnancy flight-suits. We all know it's BS but they'll do it anyway because they're funded to do it. Their tech edge though, especially at Darpa, I think will still last. America's edge is what gives it it's strength and the MIC will do anything to justify it's spending, look how much they blew on the F-35 program for instance. The Japanese back around Christmas passed a 5 trillion yen defense bill focused on native aircraft production and long range missiles, with a focus on ASM emplacements on Okinawa. I'm thinking that Japan, Taiwan and SK saw the writing on the wall with Trump, he pushed hard for them to pay for their fair share of money for defense items so they switched to producing their own. SK in particular is already spending billions because of NK, so there's a delicate balance of China on one side and these there regional powers on the other. India has also boosted it's defense spending to almost $50B, with $3B being spent on arm supplies on their recent skirmish back in July.

6. America is in for a downturn. The Fed printed $7 billion dollars in 6 months and with an already weak dollar, it's just wasting ink at this point. Most people's financial advise recently has been keep money in for 6 months then pull everything out, cause it won't get better and I think that's what people are waiting for, that first panic sell to see everything crash.

7. Trump was a stop gap. He couldn't get the $6B he needed for his wall yet somehow found $30B to send to Israel in "Military Aid". I'm still deciding if he was a Kaiser, fugging forget the name of the german sociologist that projected the term but back in the 40s, his book said that people would naturally draw to Kaisers, populist leaders who at least projected the traits that would make people follow him instead of a democratic party as faith in institutions waned. I think he framed himself that way but in the end he wasn't very effective at real change.

3. Taiwan is even more fiercely independent than ever. Their first female PM, yes I know don't tell Impossible1, was re-elected in 2020 and on both her inauguration addresses stated that they would never be "one country, two system", because one only needs to look at Hong Kong to see how well that turns out. As a result, they upped their Defense spending to 8% of GDP and have been constructing native Defense industries with attention to ship building and aircraft manufacturing so they don't have to rely on US imports and support. They've been doing this since 2017 and are seeing results now. 4.The Middle-East is always a mess. You've got national, ethnic, religious and political lines to consider and any group you deal with will have 3 of these traits and hate other groups who share even similar traits of their own. Israel is a parasite that absorbed the might of the US, Iran threatened Israel with developing nukes unless paid off by the US, both Turkey and the Saudi's just bought US equipment because they can. What I can say is that there is no regional dominant power is exactly how Israel wants it. If Iran became the dominant power, you'd have a Shia dominant country with Turkey and Saudi being Sunni and they wouldn't like that. If Saudi's went on strong, Iran wouldn't like that and nukes might follow.
4. America is at trouble on the homefront, derisive propaganda will do that and China's exploration of funding that propaganda left by the cracks the old USSR channels left shouldn't be understated. They're proving effective at crippling the military with things like Women in the forces and pregnancy flightsuits. We all know it's BS but they'll do it anyway because they're funded to do it. Their tech edge though, especially at Darpa, I think will still last. America's edge is what gives it it's strength and the MIC will do anything to justify it's spending, look how much they blew on the F-35 program for instance. The Japanese back around Christmas passed a 5 trillion yen defense bill focused on native aircraft production and long range missiles, with a focus on ASM emplacements on Okinawa. I'm thinking that Japan, Taiwan and SK saw the wrighting on the wall with Trump, he pushed hard for them to pay for their fair share of money for defense items so they switched to producing their own. SK in particular is already spending billions because of NK, so there's a delicate balance of China on one side and these there regional powers on the other. India has also boosted it's defense spending to almost $50B, with $3B being spent on arm supplies on their recent skirmish back in July.
5. America is in for a downturn. The Fed printed $7 billion dollars in 6 months and with an already weak dollar, it's just wasting ink at this point. Most people's financial advise recently has been keep money in for 6 months then pull everything out, cause it won't get better and I think that's what people are waiting for, that first panic sell to see everything crash.
6. Trump as a stop gap He couldn't get the $6B he needed for his wall yet somehow found $30B to send to Israel in "Military Aid". I'm still deciding if he was a Kaiser, fugging forget the name of the german sociologist that projected the term but back in the 40s, his book said that people would naturally draw to Kaisers, populist leaders who at least projected the traits that would make people follow him instead of a democratic party as faith in institutions waned. I think he framed himself that way but in the end he wasn't very effective at abjecting rea
