Think about it before we fall

The coming U.S. retreat from global climate policy leadership, brings a reality: For much of the world, China already calls the shots. Beijing’s decades-long effort to dominate world clean energy economy is enabling it to make tight business alliances with governments in Africa, Asia and Latin America — without insisting on the labor and environmental safeguards the United States and European Union typically demand. Those countries, in turn, take China’s side in disputes with the U.S. and Europe over trade policies.

As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, promising to walk away from the Paris climate agreement, some diplomats at the U.N.-sponsored talks in Azerbaijan said they hope China will fill the void by championing steep cuts in greenhouse gas pollution. Trump also pledges to shred Biden administration clean energy policies that designed to weaken Chinese control of key technologies.

Biden will emerge as the best thing to happen to the US in decades. He had great policies in place, but the uninformed trump cult fell for the right wing media propaganda and we will lose because of it. The right wing media is controlled by billionaires who will become like Russia’s oligarchs. They will care less about the cult who support them…the cult will be left in the dust to try to pinch pennies and sadly will not have an opportunity to vote these charlatans out since there will no longer be real elections. Only the types of elections held in places like Russia and other eastern European countries. It’s so hard to believe that Americans are now electing fascist type dictatorships…think there will be many surprised cult followers but it will be too late. Sorry, Charlie!

Almost...

China can have those countries; let those who fall for the "Belt & Road" go.

USA dominance in AI, space, defense and nuclear tech will allow it to decouple from China and the Middle East, and Europe if needed (Africa and South America never matter) and reinvent its economy for domestic industry and climate mitigation. As the only safe place in the World for those with money, the USA will experience record inflow and the strong dollar will offset modest inflation (we can absorb the loss of cheap Chinese discretionary goods; and housing, childcare and health care inflation is domestic and detached from China ie separate problems and solutions).

Therefore those who think historical examples of protectionism apply confuse the USAs evolution with the fall of Rome or The British Empire, are hilariously mistaken. Neither had the USAs geographic advantages, and resources. AUKUS will protect the oceans, so regardless of the dumpster fire that engulfs Europe, the Middle East and Africa, we will be fine.

Will everyone else live in the 'Second World'? Yes. Not our problem.

If you let China have those countries idiot, we are surrounded - a hermit nation, like NOKO.

Hermit nation? That's why everyone else is trying to jump our borders and attend our schools?

The USA and its core allies will represent an island of prosperity and safety in a sea of refuse.

And, when none of your paranoid delusions happen, will you be comfortable coming back here and apologizing for being a MSNBC brainwashed dolt?
