Are economic and political tides turning away from America and toward China

[shockedcanadian]

I never would have thought I would say this but clearly America has been emulating the wrong nations for a long time. Post WWII the U.S built closer relations with Britian in particular, but, it was a bad decision long term. Europe may be moving towards China more rapidly than predicted. It isn't imperial.overreach, it is becoming too much, domestically at like; like the nations you once rejected. China absolutely loves this.since such nations are in sharp decline. .Don't say I didn't warn you Are economic and political tides turning away from America and toward China? It is interesting that one of the most widely studied treatises on war in the world’s military academies today was written by a Chinese general who lived 27 centuries ago. The best-known quotation from “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) is, “[The] supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting,” but there are many other maxims that should merit the interest of those who would divine the intentions of China and contrast the strategy of that country with that of the United States. Of particular relevance is,“Who wishes to win must first consider the cost” and its corollary, “There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged war.” ,................
The United States, again like its British forebear, has long been able to exert extraordinary global leverage owing to the immense might of its economy, whereas until quite recently, China — never in modern times a wealthy or economically dominant nation — has been more cautious, preferring to rattle its sabers rather than use them.

Now, at the very moment when China’s economic and military might is surging and its global influence rapidly expanding, the United States is increasingly being weighed down by the cumulative effect of prolonged war and weakened by what British historian Paul Kennedy described in 1987 as “imperial overstretch.”

China wants to trade. We want to enact war. It's not going to be a hard decision for countries to decide trade is better than war.

Russia dragged the world in and China is helping to fund it. They are returnng the favor with the strategy that Reagan successfu!ly employed. Europe has to put up or they will be in trouble. The greater issue is your domestic policies IMO and how you moved away from what you once were.

Absolutely!!
With the help of leftist democrats.

When we imposed sanctions against Russia and basically shut them out of the global economy, other countries began to take note of how effective the sanctions were. Worse, we have the ability to sanction countries that try to get around our sanctions.

Weaponizing our economic power made other countries realize that we can weaponize that against them too. Other countries can't become as big and powerful as the United States, but they can make bigger and more powerful allies. I think the whole sanctions thing made countries realize that they in an ideal world, they'd have not just one powerful trading partner/political ally, but two and then pivot between them and deal with whoever can help them the most.

Solutions to how to make America great again:

1. Keep provoking conflicts between countries around the world, so more US arms sold. Yeah, more profits!
2. Keep printing more money, so no more financial uncertainty. lol.
3. Keep imposing sanctions on countries that are against Americanism( or that support China ) & keep freezing or seizing their assets( if possible ).

Yeah, make US moneyocracy great again! lol.

This is it.

America looks at Africa and sees savages in grass huts, China looks at Africa and see future customers and is working to ensure that happens.

China is using their own version of the Marsall plan while wisely using countries like Russia, N Korea, S America.etc to create problems for the U.S. Europe as lwzys is flakey but greatly losing faith in the U.S. They are a much older country while too many of us in the West remain barbarians, their traditional name for us.

What a sanctimonious and patronising person you are .
A veritable pea brain , imagining that people did not forecast the present situation decades ago .
If you had a worthwhile IQ and a real investigative ability you would look at how the US was influenced by others post WW2 and how it has been
infiltrated .
Not America's so called outward stance which has never gone further than attempted military conquest, and latterly by proxy , because the US military is franky useless with no wins since a few little islands in the pacific 80 years ago.

Did your teachers always refer to you as "special"? You sure are certain of the knowledge you convey...
