Many parts of the USSR were still third world level living conditions

Yeah

Siberia etc

The whole eastern part of Russia, and even many parts of the smaller SSRs below the RSFSR

Siberia isn't possible to civilize

Turks always try to be nomads

I think the US will split up

Some states might just leave

Yakuts and Altais aren't exactly possible to be civilized

I think US will fall but not soon

I think the next world power is unfortunately China

Already is

Given how poorly they handled corona, them being the #1 superpower is terrifying

A Outwardly Focused China is a menace

considering how easily it spread, they handled it pretty good

China very well could crash with the USA

@Enigmatic★Chromatic Oh it is

Right now they're very hevaily dependent on us

Guess what happened?

I mean they are already outwardly focused in Africa and most of Asia despite having it in their white paper that they have no interest in global hegemony

China's economy getting shanked made our economy worse too

Mississippi is planning to unite all southern states into a military alliance

I’m not joking

@21ooAB source?

I don't really care for China at all, but I would wager the USA would have handled Corona even more poorly

Democrats would do something completely retarded, Republicans would deny it

If Coronavirus started in the US

Basically, they are inviting 7 states into an interstate compact

I agree Asami

This could expand to other states

This is the proposed 8 state alliance

Probably not, we're reaching the average age of most empires, so is many other nations. So collapse seems very probable for many other nations around the same time or very close together maybe ~5-10 years of each one. But I'm not a geopolitical expert

in some ways the NATO and the UN are obsolete and the only way the US has any say in geopolitics.
the EU is a local power in Europe and China is taking over Asia and Africa.
That said if the US falls the EU will fall as well.

China also has the 16+1 in the EU

In other words basically extends its empire into eastern europe

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

- Should The US attempt to make a peace deal with the Taliban? If so what should the conditions be?

Yes

Yeah, let’s get out of there.

No, continue the way we are going and eventually nuke them.
