Each element involved in the neutering of the aggressive instincts of the collective west plays its part in the devastating effect we see occurring currently in regard to the long-held near absolute dominion the collective west has enjoyed for generations.
Where the near dominion the collective west has held over the world looked at all shaky in the past it brought out its array of weapons from threats to bribes to blackmail to outright attacks using military might. Now the political elites of the U.S. have become weaker, partially due to massive overspending but also due to failed regime change operations, the overreach we have seen in regard to Ukraine including the stealing from Russians that has taken place.
Along with the factors noted above there is also the rank idiocy of those who have held the levers of power in the USA since 9/11 and this especially has taken its toll. The unaligned nations and even those who appeared to be firmly aligned with the West have, since 9/11 have primarily taken note of three things:
The USA along with those aligned with it acted extremely recklessly in attacking numerous nations in the Middle East and the catastrophic results of those attacks are undeniable.
The nations in question can no longer trust that the USA will treat them well and never treat them as it does those others that cross it.
The nations in question now see an alternative source of great influence that can take the place of the USA being a far safer option that is unlikely to get turned against them as they now fear the USA may do.
The ‘safer option’ figures above all others, China. If China had not risen to where it is now it is impossible to see how the changes seen now could occur. Russia has a strong economy but it cannot compare to that of China. China provides the nations now migrating from being in league with the West to joining BRICS and beginning to drop the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency, with an obvious healthy backbone that can be relied upon.
China is crucial to all that is going on right now in regard to nations abandoning both long-held western hegemony and the U.S. dollar. In addition to being a safe haven from the overbearing and perpetually aggressive power of the West China is also playing a huge part in further diminishing the influence of the USA economically.
China is not only facilitating the migration of nations from the US/U/EU orbit it is also serving to unify them under an economic umbrella. Those who can now safely emerge from under the American thumb due to the unstoppable rise of the economies of the global south and Eurasia will see the economies of the west decline as theirs rise. And this latter factor will diminish the ability of the U.S. warmongers to project power and this will serve to steadily quarantine them.
In outline only this is how things will go if present trends continue and it appears now that the process is unstoppable. Each factor comprises a virtual cycle toward a rebalancing both of economic power and power of influence. This cannot help but lead inevitably to a truly multipolar world where the western nations become simply one of many, neither exceptional nor superior and unable to have either the power or influence to bully, threaten or insist upon its will being done.
The era of western belligerence, of genocidal, racist, colonialist and imperialist modes of arrogant insistence of superiority will be over. The new powers now inexorably rising to take the place of the US/UK/EU in terms of influence show no intent to duplicate the behaviour of their predecessors but instead display a desire to share power, to create agreement based on shared interests, to emphasise trade in a spirit of mutual tolerance. The nations of the collective west, predominantly the US/UK/EU, will of course be invited to relinquish its past and to embrace the spirit of mutually-beneficial tolerance that they had fought so foolishly. In time they will be seen to move from their neutered state to being at one in a global family of nations. A true world civilisation where agreement, not aggression is the prevailing rule then becomes a real possibility.
