China is now the world’s largest economy; measured in nominal GDP, it is the second largest, projected to surpass the US within the next few years. BRICS has overtaken the G7 in terms of economic size, and China is fast catching up in terms of science and technology. However, the fact is that the US still retains military hegemony, with its 800 overseas military bases and its extensive deployment of troops and weapons around the world.
Under the current US regime, is the possibility/probability that other states will push for and accomplish the closing of US military bases on their soil? Will it happen, if they do?
Depends on the state lol, I would be really interested in Oceania where it is really impossible for the US to offer anything better than China, and they can’t refuel stuff efficiently that far anyways. At some point the US has to accept the political loss and close some of these bases up due to the logistical burden
I hope you are correct, because USA seems to never encountered the term, “pyrrhic victory.”
USA does its best to hand Pyrrhic victories to the global south countries when it can’t win (and it keeps forgetting it can’t) because decimating development - be it agriculture, industries, culture, or the infrastructure and functions of the state- reinforces the dependency relationship the first world relies on for sustenance
They’re doing it on home soil now too. My curiosity is on edge, because the liberals seem better armed with more bodies to feed the machine than leftists, but rn inertia carries the battle.
Yes, it’s starting to come home! I honestly don’t know what to expect since I refuse to follow DC or state politics in the US in depth most of the time, it takes up everyone’s whole viewport. Then I try to get a better angle and the best I have is a Swede with a hyperfixation on the Sengoku period of Japan. I am truly lost I just know something worse + even funnier is around the corner
What in tarnation is this something related to Bill Kristol
It’s definitely going to be epic
