    I generally agree, past two years have shown that no rational thinking is involved in making these decisions, and there’s an utter inability to learn from mistakes on display. They just keep doubling down without doing any retrospection or analysis of why they continue to fail. I do think there’s a question of social cohesion in the west that’s worth considering. The economic war with Russia has already created massive economic damage for western countries, and we’re starting to see a lot of unrest brewing. The crash that will be caused by an economic war with China could act as a catalyst for the unrest to break out into outright political violence that could start toppling western regimes.

      they may be eroding the foundations of their empire with this unthinking shit, but the line’s still going up, isnt it? at least in the US.

      so i dont think they are able to see the mistakes yet.
