The change in terms where they even have to write news articles on it says how the position of the West is weak. Decoupling is so definite of a word and such terms are used by the arrogant that are in fact in no such position in geopolitics. That shows the Western mentality is racist first because again they think they need no one but everyone else needs them. It was their shoot from the hip first instinct to say. They thought China was going to come begging to them and thus could dictate terms of surrender. They thought their tactic was going help narrow global power in favor of the West. All it did was do the opposite as the world watched the West abuse the power they had by weaponizing economics.
Now they have to backtrack because they forgot that decoupling means China cuts-off from them as well especially since China hasn't fallen for their trick. And the West doesn't like anything mutual. They want it one-sided in their favor and their instinct to want that makes them forget reality.
They don't have the money so what is it they think they have to lure "swing states" into their web? Again is it all because they're white? Just being in the West's good graces is the greatest gift of all? They haven't learned a thing. They prefer to believe being white gives them all this and thus confirms to themselves their superiority. Look at the West's version of soft power. They'll emphasize China having money where countries want China's help over the West is not soft power. They think that's still coercion. What soft power does the West have that doesn't involve coercion? They want to make others believe that being white is soft power. People and countries choose them just for being white. The manipulation is they want to believe that's natural. They think the communist government of China or any other country that doesn't worship the West are being prevented from doing what they think is natural and that is loving white people. No, that's called generations of brainwashing especially in countries that have been colonized by the West. If everything was natural, they wouldn't have the history of the worst human rights abuses ever committed upon the world. So are they going to claim that as soft power?
and scary (since he can press the nuclear button)
