What concerns me a lot is our hubris. We stomp all over the world as if we own
the place, and I think we don't quite understand how much of a threat we appear
to be to Russia and China. We've been accustomed to thinking that we are the
world, that our ideas, our actions are the new-normal and the world really
should follow our example.
We turn entire continents upside down, have reshaped Europe, and we think we're
going to get away with this? Russia is going to sit idly by as a new Western
Fascism emerges? China is just going to sit by?
Our belief that we are the only game in town is all we've got left. We're a
spent civilisation, and a new power is seeing the emerging vacuum.
