There was a hypothesis proposed a number of years ago that a mono-polar world is inherently unstable. A second great power keeps the other “honest” to a degree and limits the scope of corruption. It doesn’t stop it entirely mind you, but it has to at least maintain the appearance of integrity or expose its vulnerability. Any world where only one great power exists, must eventually collapse under the weight of internal corruption.
2026 is not the year of the lord, but of the devil make no mistake.
Gangsters are in control, which is not cool even though you might think it is. It’s not. Gangsters are parasites, making things more expensive.
Kill the gangsters.
This feels a lot like the collapse of the USSR. Like, yeah, shit wasn’t necessarily great before, but what comes after is worse.

Looks like the hypothesis had some merit.
