  • I’m starting to think that the US is being consistently 10 years behind where they should be.

    • They should have pushed for Ukraine into NATO by 2004, not 2014, Russia was much weaker then.
    • They should have decoupled from China by 2014, not now. China was much more dependent on the US and the rapid industrialization and initiatives like BRICS and the BRI under Xi Jinping where a paper note.
    • They would have probably had more success in pushing Iran out since they were much weaker under sanctions.
    • In the case of Venezuela? With the huge migratory flows after the oil sanctions and Venezuela’s hyper inflation, as well as the right wing wave in the region, the US could have tried an overt invasion campaign and would have likely succeeded.

    Now, I think none of those countries are as weak as 10 years ago. In fact ALL of them are in their relative peaks.
