Ten years ago globalization reached its zenith. While the US hollowed its industrial base, China strategically made inroads throughout the world. What you just wrote made me think how the world will look in five years. The US has suffered a series of embarrassments in LATAM this year, unthinkable a couple of years ago, and the all powerful embargoes seems to only work on Cuba. I never thought Venezuela would recover as it currently is. Could be temporarily, it’ll be interesting what the Brics outcome will be. Jeffrey Sachs is right on point.
Good article Roger. The West only does tactics and not strategy and seem to be at something of a loss as to how to cope with the world that their tactics have ushered in.
Western fanboys boast that the forever wars cost the US and Eu very little but I beg to differ, they have cost the West it's reputation for competence and fair-mindedness and this is irreplaceable, worth more than gold. No-one outside the West trusts them anymore and that is huge, with ramifications that will last for decades.
The US and Isrealhell can't see the whole picture. They behave like rabid unthinking animals. The only vision the West has is them being the King of the Hill. Germany let the US blow up their energy source (probably helped them) and the rest started crumbling for sure after the sanctions on Russia and they most likely didn't object to the 20 or so sanctions on China Congress just approved. The US is destroying the EU and they don't care. We're saying "Bring your industry here." we even steal whole industries from other countries.
If it's anything to go by, my far right brother, a lifelong staunch supporter of the USA, said in a conversation we had recently: Once upon a time when the communists were chanting "Americans Butchers of the Earth", I used to laugh at them. Well,...they were right. (we're from Greece, there's a strong communist party there, and this has been one of their main slogans since the 60s)

If he can see it, everyone can.
People are waking up indeed

I like the RoW and RIC acronyms! Seems sustainable strategies executed steadily will eventually win over the thuggish tactics of the global minority ⏳
