So.
Putin won.
(waits for howls of objection and indignation and songs of the International, and Hope and Star Wars and Shit.)
Nothing is ever OVER, but Nov 6 2024 appears to be the most Agincourt event of my life time. Bigger than 9/11, bigger than the challenger exploding, bigger than Obamacare, bigger than a Black President...it will affect the lives of everyone in America whether they like it or not. Hell, it affects the definition of what America will be. It is the moment when we went from being a Republic to the Trumpian Dynasty. Whether that is a Dynasty of One or a malfunctioning inbred line of Ivanka / Donald force bred babies (Her body his choice....)
The point being, this isnt just AMERICA going away, but the very IDEA of America.
No one has tried an Athenian democracy since Athens for a reason. America is going to be the poster child of why the Republic is a shit idea. Oh I mean sure I can be wrong, but for purposes of this post, Putin got what he wanted.
The world is going to become a series of spheres of influence. Turning back the clock to the 19th century. Europe will become a power. BRICS is all about regional powers and spheres of influence. Indeed, South America would do well to start eyeing Brazil....or get nukes. India already controls the countries around it and China will without the US to protect its allies like South Korea. Japan may be a surprise contender.
Ironically, the one power that may fail in this world order is Russia; the Sick Man at the Table, America as it was is gone but it still has the largest military on the planet and a total collapse of the economy wont make that go away over night (But we'll discuss that in a new post). The important thing to understand about all of this is that fascist countries dont cooperate with each other unless its against a common enemy, and with the implosion of the United States (which will soon own Greenland btw since last I check Denmark doesnt have nukes), is that Climate cooperation is impossible. I mean they might want to; even try, Russia and China pay lip service to it and strategically do things to improve their image but since image doesnt matter any more and all truth is propoganda, then the cold war mentality that let China invest in EV's and moving away from Coal might not be there.
Which means we all die.
This event will hallmark the likely death of all life on Earth. Thank a Republican.
