It was.

2018-03-26 19:58:43 UTC  

The greatest threat to the USA is China.

2018-03-26 19:58:45 UTC  

It never was

2018-03-26 19:58:59 UTC  

I don't see China and the US militaristically fighting.

2018-03-26 19:59:16 UTC  

Look, you may have been told the USA rules the world

2018-03-26 19:59:19 UTC  

its not factual anymore

2018-03-26 19:59:22 UTC  

it was 10 years ago

2018-03-26 19:59:24 UTC  

not anymore

2018-03-26 19:59:31 UTC  

geopolitics has shifted so far since then

2018-03-26 19:59:33 UTC  

I can form my own assessment.

2018-03-26 19:59:47 UTC  

I base mine on militaristic capabilities and strategic placement.

2018-03-26 19:59:48 UTC  

and when the USA finally realises they're not number 1 thats when the danger arises.

2018-03-26 19:59:57 UTC  

I base mine on my International Relations lecturer

2018-03-26 20:00:01 UTC  

who arguably knows more.

2018-03-26 20:00:05 UTC  

Tbh China ruled the world now

2018-03-26 20:00:18 UTC  

No China doesn't, there is no clear ruler.

2018-03-26 20:00:42 UTC  

They are already colonizing Africa

2018-03-26 20:00:56 UTC  

If China ruled the world, explain this...

2018-03-26 20:01:03 UTC  

That doesn't give them an edge over the USA or Russia or the EU

2018-03-26 20:01:09 UTC  

This is real politics.

2018-03-26 20:01:11 UTC  

The geopolitical stage is anarchy.

2018-03-26 20:01:17 UTC  

there is no clear ruler.

2018-03-26 20:01:27 UTC  

Yes, I agree.

2018-03-26 20:01:43 UTC  

However, pieces are moving on the chess-board.

2018-03-26 20:01:43 UTC  

It used to be the USA from the end of the coldwar until the Syrian civil war

2018-03-26 20:01:57 UTC  

now we are at a point in geopolitics where theres no country who could be said to be the only superpower

2018-03-26 20:02:07 UTC  

The question isn't "who's in control?".

2018-03-26 20:02:21 UTC  

The question is "who's gaining control?".

2018-03-26 20:02:46 UTC  

According to military activity, the United States is winning.

2018-03-26 20:02:52 UTC  

China is rising, Russia is resurging and the EU and US are declining

2018-03-26 20:02:52 UTC  

Military activity is real politics.

2018-03-26 20:03:06 UTC  

China doesn't look like they're rising.

2018-03-26 20:03:16 UTC  

The US military is doing what they do best.

2018-03-26 20:03:26 UTC  

Putting dictators in their place.

2018-03-26 20:03:46 UTC  

Ok well I lent you my expertise in world politics

2018-03-26 20:03:49 UTC  

take with it what you will

2018-03-26 20:03:51 UTC  

i gotta shoot

2018-03-26 20:03:59 UTC  

It's not your expertise.

2018-03-26 20:04:09 UTC  

It's someone else's.

2018-03-26 20:04:13 UTC
