Fantastic article. What I like about it is the author gives the history of how the story has and is unfolding. Thanks for posting it.
The bottom line is that America since World War II, when we were on top, has lost significant power and influence in the world. Time changes the picture and China is stepping up to the plate to take her place on the world stage.
IMO what is going to be interesting going forward is how Trump deals with the Chinese/Russia partnership. They are clearly colluding against the U.S. to gain more influence as this article suggests. I personally think we're going to see war come into the picture at some point with the U.S. going against another major player. History has shown that power change usually comes in the form of economic failure resulting into war. Something none of us want to see, but none the less, probably becomes inevitable.
The article mentioned Kissinger and his dealings with Saudi Arabia/petro dollar, etc.
Have you noticed in the news that since Trump became President that he's had several meetings already with Kissinger. He was there just this last week. I'd love to be a fly on the wall to hear what they're talking about.
