In a nutshell, the whole global leadership is a shitshow just like the average people are since the rise of the cell phone era. The longterm thinking, the 'geopolitics', the civilizational narratives are falling apart and falling apart fast with the clowns of the global leaders, as we just witnessed in Davos 2026.
The global leadership is a joke after the Fall of the Soviet Union in early 90s because the dreaded threat was removed and it was 'The End of History' per a famous quote by a Japanese guy in early 90s. But history never dies even if one narrative dies.
As to your quoted post, you are right. The regional countries are getting really tired of the blackmail or at least confused: The clowns sitting in Washington who make the 180 degrees opposite polices where one President makes the JCPOA while the other dismantles years of hard work barely a few years later shows nothing but a degradation of a nation, of a decline. So much so for the virtues of 'democracy' and the vaunted 'checks and balances', and for the 'institutionalized' thinking in America. The jokers sitting in Washington since the Fall of the Soviet Union are smug, jokers getting literally blowjobs and fondling women and more worried about their media appearances then being serious leaders. Makes even Bush senior like some Plato in comparison.
