Balance is already tilted towards the US both militarily and economically with US and it’s Allies in control of global financial system.

The only difference being the US no longer has overwhelming advantage in select areas. But even in those areas, DOD is trying to offset them by developing long range missiles of its own, spreading out its bases, etc…

You may be confused what "tilt" we are discussing; the tilt that is being discussed is not overall China vs the US in terms of position, but rather China vs the US on Taiwan in terms of momentum. In other words, while the US may still retain hold over several traditional tools like an overall military advantage, a Western harem, and its stewardship over the the global financial system, much of it is irrelevant when the battlefield is Taiwan, which geographically advantageous to Chinese logistics over American ones giving China a much longer lever arm to use. And while the position in those other regards is tilted towards the US in an overall conflict, they are tilting more and more towards China momentum-wise as China exceeds the US in PPP and trade and catches up/overtakes the US by moving faster in pretty much all aspects of technology.

Unsurprisingly, Macron won with 58%. During the first round, 3rd place was pretty much next to 2nd place (Le Pen) and 3rd place ideologically was more aligned with Macron.

Now. Let’s see if the oil embargo will continue after Yellen comments.

Clear result. The moment Le Pen suddenly started talking about how good Putin, Russia is, and about leaving NATO, I knew she would lose.

Controlled opposition and all that

Is it not a game though? They watch as their enemy, Russia, bleeds while they keep supporting Ukraine with paper currency and cheap weapons.

Just ask yourself, would China not celebrate if the US was bogged down in a war? Even better if we were arming the opposition

from German DIHK earlier link. It is Europe that is bleeding not Russia. who is facing trade deficits and high input inflation for industries?
Kiev is left intact for this reason so European leaders keep visiting them with big aid announcements while its own population and Arab investors not taken care. Europe will get deindustrialized and more depended on Arab world/ Asia. this benefit Russia as goods/energy will need to be shipped over large distances and more Jet fuel consumed creating more demand. i am not saying that this some 4D chess but number of flights from Russia/ India to Arab world are much more than there stated trade relations.

Interesting remarks *allegedly* by Xi.
I don't see anything wrong. Everything he has said about this has been proven to be correct so far

As for Biden's answer.. Empty words with no substance

Interesting quote from Biden
And so, I said, “For me not to be critical of your abuse of human rights would be like you deciding you didn’t think that China was any longer the center of the earth. You would be abandoning exactly what your country thinks it is and thought it was.”

I never really thought modern China was really the center of the world, but for some reason Biden and Trump likes to brag about how well they get along with Xi and China. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good for macron I guess, so he can hurry up and collapse the EU and bring the whole block down so I can laugh at how stupid the EU is. At this point, I have very little sympathy for the French people, they voted this moron into office yet again for the uptenth time so if the nation goes into full French Revolution mode, well I guess from where I am from, it least I can take out some nachos. Really, all this virtue signalling ought to have some consequences by now. I am of the opinion that everyone of these war hawks of any nation should be given the boot and since the grand major comes from the EU and the USA and the collective west in general, well soon we will see fireworks
