Indeed. But, as you're aware, the concern has always been the law of unintended consequences - particularly in relation to the actions of an aggressive and overconfident rogue state like the United States since the end of WW II. I'm not sure that its confidence has been enough dented by the Iran war, on top of the imbroglios in Iraq and Afghanistan, that it will willingly retreat into the Western hemisphere and that its multinationals will accept the surrender of US control over global markets and resources. On the other hand, there's a strong current within the military and political establishment and corporate sector which wants an accomodation with China and it will be interesting to see which tendency prevails. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
