The world has never been more susceptible to a single ruler

When you think about it, most countries have no real protection. The US props up so many of their allies from a defense standpoint.

There's really only a few legit militaries in existence. Yes, each of these is more powerful and harder to take down. But because it's more concentrated, if one attacked another and did cause one to fall it would a quick way to have a single source of power ruling the world. We used to have a much greater dispersion of power across countries.

The world is definitely moving toward a single ruler. Question is will it be China or America who rules the world? We could realistically see this in our lifetime.

If it's America we're less likely to see a complete breakdown of different countries, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that's where it was headed. If China was out of the picture and defeated you have to figure America may very well start moving toward adopting territories into itself and governing over them. It will start with the places that are f*cked up of course to justify it as helping. But as we absorb more we'll start getting the places like UK voluntarily being placed under our countries rules.

If China wins they'll just start f*cking everyone up now that America isn't here to protect anyone and this will all happen much more swiftly.

China isnt a threat.

They have a lot of ships and military but we only see whats on the outside.

Imagine the interior of their navy ships. Who is manning them? the rich kids or the poorest ones they can find? They really dont have much middle class so its the poorest conscripts.

I imagine the decks are full of chicken and goats in wire baskets and such. laundry everywhere. Sounds stereotypical but its probably close to the truth.

You cant just pour a bunch of money into a Navy without the heart and sole of the sailors being there to do the work. You wont get an effective fighting force.

Plus think of their tactics. They havent been in a bunch of major conflicts so they havent learned valuable war fighting lessons, especially naval lesson.

The old saying is something like you whoever rules the seas rules the world. thats 100% true.

Looks like we get to rule the world. now we just need to pick a good ruler.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

The US will fall apart soon and conflicts around the world that have been on a temporary pause will once again break out in full on war. Countries who have been utterly cucked will have revolutions that see their democracies over thrown, and the new leadership will rearm themselves.


No one with a good grasp of history and a healthy dose of common sense can see the current affairs as being stable. The fake "world peace" that has existed since WW2 will be running out of juice again soon, and every country will get hit with the brutal reality that they either fight or die. Some will not make the necessary preparations and they will just get steamrolled by the countries that DID prepare.

Everyone in America is fat, gay, medicated or a low IQ diversify reject. You are dreaming if you think we are churning out high quality recruits compared to China. We have a massive recruitment crisis currently.

They have 70M more men than they do women. The one thing they are not short of is people. They also dont lack industrial capacity.

The world is too interconnected, think every side has more than ever to lose so no one really wants to fuk with each other besides proxy chit and us vs them rhetoric

USA is addicted to goods and resources from every corner of the globe, and also using the USD to concentrate wealth and power back to the US
China is addicted to USA money and goods demand

RU exports energy chit and is invaluable to its economy
ME loves the demand from oil and the $$$ it has brought to certain nations

Don't see why anyone would want a large global conflict akin to the World Wars. Even the putins/xi's of the world aren't that dumb to throw it all away
