Safe, fast, cheap global movement of goods will soon be only a memory, and at the same time, the world's demographics will continue aging -- with ever-fewer young people to fill workforces and pay taxes (along with other demographic problems). That combination, plus other factors, will disrupt every nation -- a process which has already begun.
America will be better positioned than almost anywhere else -- as it has been for the past 150 years or more -- but the disruptions will still be serious even there.
The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan
Interested in an intelligent, well-sourced look at the world as different from the mainstream view as Q is from CRT? Zeihan, also author of The Accidental Superpower: The Next Generation of American Preeminence and the Coming Global Disorder, is an author you shouldn't miss.
From the book's Amazon page:
2019 was the last great year for the world economy. For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Globe-spanning supply chains are only possible with the protection of the U.S. Navy. The American dollar underpins internationalized energy and financial markets. Complex, innovative industries were created to satisfy American consumers. American security policy forced warring nations to lay down their arms. Billions of people have been fed and educated as the American-led trade system spread across the globe. All of this was artificial. All this was temporary. All this is ending.
I want everyone to look through the lens where they are able to differentiate "America" which the world perceives mostly as the government, military, corporates and financial system, and "Americans" which comprises of the people of America.
People, especially outside the US, do not differentiate between the two, and hence most arguments such as "American is great" vs "America is evil" happens.
As defined, "America" comprising of the government, military, corporates and financial systems is one of the most evil forces in the history of mankind.
"Americans" on the other hand are one of the most benign and powerful positive force, again in the history of mankind.
It is very important for everyone to acknowledge these two points - both Americans and people from the rest of the world. There is no Great Awakening, until these two points are acknowledged.
The reason why I don't particularly like reading articles like the OP, even though its chock full of information thats invaluable, is because its very much looking at the picture from inside the matrix - at the vantage of the executives, who can understand what is going on, but dont understand why or who is causing it (since they themselves are agents of this cause, its very hard to see from outside).
They still believe that the whole world has the structure it has organically. For example every one of these statements below assume the world view that every country was free to come up with actions they chose, and they chose these particular actions.

or this
The truth is, none of the countries had any ounce of true autonomy, and if they made any choices not in line with the goals of the Cabal, they would be punished one way or another. So where the author sees the whole world organically forming themselves into the way they are, I see a whole world carefully managed from the shadows to be formed into exactly how they are now.
As long as you can always keep this in mind, that the viewpoint is written from inside the matrix, you can still gain value from this.
I personally stopped celebrating any entity, no matter what kind of progress it caused in any part of the world, because its not benign progress.
The only people I celebrate and truly thank are the red blooded Americans and their love for freedom and liberty and their guns, which is the only thing that has kept the whole world alive up to this point. Everything else is an illusion.
Hard agree, except that in addition to thanking just freedom-loving Americans, I would add freedom-loving patriots from every country in the world.
This is a great comment. Thank you.
I want that also and have always seen things that way -- I believe most (sane) Americans (and probably most foreigners) do as well. During the Vietnam war, anti-war protests became HUGE and it was clear that people weren't protesting against the American public but rather against the few who set policy (and were thus responsible for the horrors of the war). From https://www.history.com/topics/vietnam-war/vietnam-war-protests :
I believe that Americans not only love their "freedom and liberty and their guns" but also have a sense of brotherhood and compassion for their fellow man, and that even with the corruption within our institutions, American policies aimed at letting other nations participate fully in the global economy -- which vastly improved the lives of millions, pulling over a BILLION people up out of subsistence-level poverty beginning after WWII -- were largely the result of that widespread sense of brotherhood that the American public has manifested since the Revolution.
I can't quantify that and it's possible I'm giving this dynamic more weight than it deserves, but I have to say, reading Zeihan's The End of the World is Just the Beginning has strengthened my sense that America, both as a nation and as a collection of human beings, is really the keystone in moving Mankind away from evil and towards both freedom and compassion. This has been opposed and somewhat hidden by the Cabal's ever-stronger influence, but THAT, finally, is coming to an end; the dismantling has already begun.
Your leaving out freedom loving Christians that built and modeled this nation on God’s wisdom. They literally came sealing religious freedom with a plan to make a new society that offered it.
