I think it would be reasonable for China to consider this G2 thing. Under the condition that all military bases in Japan and SK be relinquished to Chinese control and all military command decisions of Japan and SK will now be under the purview of the PLA. Otherwise, no deal.
And FULL ceding of the Chinese province of Taiwan to China-and a victorious end to the Chinese Civil War and the Treaty of Shimonoseki-just dreaming too.

He teaches a geopolitics course at a Beijing high school. He got famous last year during the 12 day war when a video of him predicting an US invasion of Iran from a year prior blew up. His channel, Predictive History, discusses a wide range of topics and he has some pretty wild ideas. Essentially he analyzes history and then tries to use game theory to predictive future major global events in his class. After the short war he doubled down and predicted that the US would try again. As you can expect, his videos are blowing up again now that this is coming true.

He studied English literature at Yale University. How come he is good at using game theory? How come people call him professor, when he is teaching high school.

He's probably got ties to the glowies like CIA. Maybe even working for them. Intelligence agencies tend to pick guys from places like Yale and Brigham Young uni.

So it's easy to know what happens when you literally get inside info.

India is no pushover. By 2050, India will be 40T economy; it will surpass the USA in the next decade in terms of GDP ppp. A nuclear power with the largest working age population, India is no laughing stock.
The word Royally Shafted is for India. India can only survive as Tributary state.
you can already observe behavior of $20T economy EU leaders with countless visits to Royal Kingdoms and White House since Ukraine conflict.
I doubt Modi knows word New Europe. it should not be signing deals with smaller countries like Oman and UAE.

Power is when you are currently knee deep in a war that has expended 3,000 munitions in the first few days and upended the global economy, part of which was to distract from the fact your entire inner circle are pedophiles and China is still the number one thing on your minds.

They're not wrong.

The US retains the capacity for global violence, to a degree that China can hardly match.

Being peaceful has its benefits, but when push comes to shove, as Mao said, "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Anyone familiar with Chinese (or in general, world) history understands that states are never started or ended by economics. It's always by an army.

But having an army with a global reach is one thing, using it properly is another. Defeating the Iranian regime is not as easy as just dropping a couple thousand bombs. Four years after it began, Russia has still to conquer Ukraine despite the latter being absolutely devastated by Russian bombardment and artillery. A third of the Ukrainian population has been displaced, yet Ukraine still stands.

What seems certain is the US is not going to get out of its own "Ukraine" with a quick victory. It's going to have to grind.
