Is this the end for King Dollar?
Where does this leave the Unites States, as the preeminent global superpower of the last Century?
The Wall Street Journal instilling confidence: "King Dollar is Abdicating and That's OK"
Part 1/4 - Military
The United States has the best military in world history.
Of course, we are now in a Century whereby Economic might is regarded as the key factor in terms of Superpower ranking.
As we have discussed, the Petrodollar system has defined geopolitics since 1971 when Nixon took the US off the Gold Standard completely.
The key aspect of this mechanism is the fact that the US Petrodollar has been mercilessly backed by the might of the US Military, and this military might hasn't gone anywhere...
Part 2/4 - Espionage
Espionage - the world of spies, psyops and honeypots...
The CIA's status is undisputed.
They have played a key part in many operations that have played a crucial role in maintaining American hegemony.
The Western world, from an Intelligence standpoint, has been defined for the last 50 years by the mutually beneficial relationship between the CIA, MOSSAD and MI6.
However, it must be emphasized that it is the N5A, particularly in the information age, that hold the Trump cards.
Part 3/4 - Thucydides Trap
Of course, the thread here is the United States versus China.
China are the challenger power to the incumbent power.
Part 4/4 - Citizens
For the citizens of the West, an interesting dynamic is currently taking place.
In the West, the trend has been the erosion of civil freedoms - think about the Patriot Act and the Surveillance Era.
In the East, well it's essentially a social credit based system.
Essentially, the West controls covertly, the East controls overtly.
From a game theory perspective, if China is implementing a social credit based system, then is it inevitable that a similar system will be implemented in the West?
Is this game win-able for the West?
Personally, I think the next phase of warfare will be predominately cyber warfare and economic warfare, and biowarfare.
I actually think the United States is in a reasonable position long term - never underestimate the capabilities of the strongest military and intelligence apparatus the world has ever seen.
