    Thanks for the advice, which is really useful for both the minority and the majority.

    It’s too late for resilient supply chains when China is dominant across many strategically important industries.

      That’s our own fault

    The reality is that the United States is no longer going to remain at a first world level. This man is telling you that the USA will fall to it’s knees into a form of fascism/nepotism/rigged economics to survive. Welcome to a second world Uhmerrika.

    This is embarrassingly naive…

      How can a wake-up call be naive?

    Countries around the world should engage in discussions at the UN to address potential risks such as World War III, inflation, and geopolitical shifts. These conversations can help minimize the likelihood of conflict, whether due to ideological, religious, or other differences between nations.

    Meanwhile, the US stock market is a remarkably great investment environment

    I cannot express how sad I am to see this fragmentation of ONE species.
    I imagine a barge with a Chinese, an American, a Russian, and a European each rowing frenetically in a different direction without looking in which direction the others are rowing and without stopping to talk about which is the best direction for all of them combined.

    That said, the dispersal of production and resources to ensure the stability of supply chains is a good thing, especially given the impact on and consequences of climate change.

    США???????? выдворят 13 млн мигрантов в след 10 лет, потратив на это $950 млрд. Чтобы реализовать такой радикальный проект-необходим Трамп , да еще и с подконтрольным Сенатом.
    Демократы на такой радикальный шаг не пошли бы никогда.
    ????❔А дальше-задайтесь вопросом, что в мире ????такого произойдет следующие пару десятилетий, раз американцы так агрессивно закрываются в себя. Вызвав на помощь топового анти глобалиста и популиста? И после Трампа придет анти глобалист с еще более протекционистскими взглядами.
    Следите за тенденциями – это не сложно.
    ⚠️И тенденции последних 10 лет именно таковы , просто они шли по нарастающей. Потому ваши «полит эксперты» ошибаются
    – ›живут прошлыми данными, не актуальными????
    Посмотрите на Европу ???????? , тоже и самое : повсеместные движение к протекционизму. Осталось поставить точку в Германии???????? и Франции????????,где придут такие же протекционисты ( вначале, более умеренные в 2025 ; а после, к концу декады – уже более агрессивные протекционисты) . ????????Страны G7 закрываются от внешнего менее развитого мира – где будет тотальный хаос и куча конфликтов. Не вышло распространить идею свободной торговли и общего развития????????. Не готовы народы отсталых регионов к прогрессу. Ну так деритесь тогда между собой ⚔️⚰️ Как в XIX веке.
    Украину????????заберут напоследок в ???????? и замок ????.
    Это игра в долгую – стены не просто так возводятся на внешних границах стран G7

    This guy is living in the last millennium. The “blocky” thinking is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Stay away from it, PLEASE!
