The US hasn't won a war in a long time. It's a paper tiger, always was. Even dollar bombing is losing its potency as printer goes brrr and Bitcoin replaces it in reserves and treasuries. And it's cultural capital is similarly debased. COVID-19 revealed all this with sparkling clarity. China wins. Better get used to being Chinese vassal states. Lockdowns are priming us for it, so when they are relieved, we'll be much closer to a totalitarian state than we were a year ago. Western liberal democracy, 1945-2020.
