Then explain why no nation can form a narrative to describe ISIS, after 17 years, being wiped out.
Bump my thread comrades
ISIS is a narrative that is arguably irrelevant. And anyway the USA can only do as much as other nations let them - 10 years ago they marched into Iraq, Could they do that today? No.
15* years ago
perception of time is wrong in my mind
@fannybandit where are you from?
No one is marching anywhere currently due to ISIS being wiped out.
ISIS was the greatest threat to the world.
No it isn't
Yes, it isn't.
It was.
The greatest threat to the USA is China.
It never was
I don't see China and the US militaristically fighting.
Look, you may have been told the USA rules the world
its not factual anymore
it was 10 years ago
not anymore
geopolitics has shifted so far since then
I base mine on militaristic capabilities and strategic placement.
and when the USA finally realises they're not number 1 thats when the danger arises.
I base mine on my International Relations lecturer
who arguably knows more.
Tbh China ruled the world now
No China doesn't, there is no clear ruler.
They are already colonizing Africa
If China ruled the world, explain this...
That doesn't give them an edge over the USA or Russia or the EU
This is real politics.
The geopolitical stage is anarchy.
there is no clear ruler.
Yes, I agree.
However, pieces are moving on the chess-board.
It used to be the USA from the end of the coldwar until the Syrian civil war
now we are at a point in geopolitics where theres no country who could be said to be the only superpower
The question isn't "who's in control?".
The question is "who's gaining control?".
According to military activity, the United States is winning.
