I have often wondered if China has not pulled a page out of history to wage a war of revenge and of course to become the next super power. During the opium wars of course the drug just devastated China and then led to the Century of humiliation.
Our very bottom is going to throw off any kind of avg. Reason being is the drug epidemic and just the amount of homeless we have from it. Not to mention a good part of our drug problem also comes from towns shutting down here in America when jobs got shipped to China.
I believe China is using phenethyl in the same way that Britain used opium. I think they are taking a page out of history their own history that led to the century of humiliation.
Also did not help that Clinton negotiated a bilateral trade agreement with China and pushed for them to be a member of the WTO. His reasoning was that it would lead to us exporting more to them. This in turn would lead to job growth with no fear of losing jobs here from the new demand of our exports. He also declared it would shrink our deficit with China. Not to mention he also believed that it would influence China to change their form of government. The US-China relations act he signed was a absolute failure.
We have a lot of poor and can be traced to loss of jobs then the depression that sets in that leads to people coping by abusing substances. Focusing on America should be our only path going forward. Charity should begin at home we have spent the wealth of our country on the world so that they would love us. That has failed royally time to focus on our country and our people.
We used to be the largest manufacturer in the world now 80% of our jobs are in the service industry. Our largest employer is Walmart followed by Yum brands which owns Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC and other restaurants. McDonalds is also amongst our top ten employers. Yea we traded higher wage jobs for service jobs the lowest of wages. Which now we have our own politicians selling us out by bringing in illegals to take the service jobs.
I can only hope that Trump and anyone after him succeeds in making America about American people again.

One of the most depressing things one can do is take a drive through the heart of Gary, Indiana, it really is something to see. Certainly the politicians severely underestimated the ability of China to develop the way that it did.
I agree with your post, however I think my view is in line with Mearshiemer's theory of offensive realism .... America will do what it takes to preserve its hegemony.
The other question can China rise peacefully and the USA decline peacefully?
History supports conflict as the pattern.
The USA has seriously faltered in putting its people first, sad but true, Vance is a much scarier proposition....to me, DT is all over the map and I am no longer convinced he is able to deal with the "swamp" ... "blob" ... 'the security state."

That is our current political climate. This what we are fighting over one side wants to keep the empire and their globalist plans. While one side wants to back off and focus on here at home. Crooked politician's on both sides have gotten wealthy from public service because they keep voting for militarization. Then taking the knowledge of their votes and committees to do a little insider trading in the market.
I like Vance and also like his best friend Vivek Ramaswamy. So I am hoping for a ticket like that in 4 years but we will see. I believe we are gonna see the rise of Europe come from all of this. Germany is taking the reins and stepping up. They since the 2nd World War have been timid to build up their military with the history of WW1 and WW2 following them.
With the US looking to take a back seat especially in Ukraine. Germany is now spending more on their defense department and ramping up production. They already took their past local currency the Deutsche Mark and made it the Euro. Which is used European Union wide. So I believe we just may see Europe rise out of this under a German lead. If so may also see a rise of a North America Union, and other unions built on geographical locations. Based on shared military and economic goals of individual geographical areas.
Yeah that is biblical as well and even goes to understanding prophecy. The last superpower is always replaced after conflict. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. So we see it in the bible and also in secular history the new superpower comes after conflict with the prior.

Possibly. At the very least God is allowing a depraved man leeway for now.
"Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty." Proverbs 22:16
"Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate; for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them." Proverbs 22:22-23.

Yes, God is giving these ones who speak evil of dignities leeway for awhile
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

One has to wonder about this new modern "conservatism" where a pastor recently noted that his the congregation becomes annoyed if he preaches about helping the poor and less fortunate.
I tend to think God is letting Christians reap what they sow for falling for the lies of John Darby and C. I. Scofield.
