There are many players who want to see the downfall of the U.S. and I can't say that I blame them. We have abused our power. By the same token China, India, Russia, etc. have nothing to recommend them either. If they haven't had outright mass death related to their policies and totalitarian governance, they have an awful caste system of racism that is being brought to the U.S. through unfettered immigration. These BRICS nations will work together to gain a foothold, but history tells me that won't last once they get it. There will always be a leader or country that will want more... more wealth, more resources, more POWER.

Excellent essay, as usual. One thing that stood out to me is the reversal of roles by Russia (USSR) and the US over the last 5 decades or so. Joe Biden’s presidency is emblematic of the status of US hegemony...corrupt, servile, forgetful to the point of embarrassment, and devoid of discipline or honor.
