"Hybrid WW3" continues. Russia advances most everywhere in the proxy politics space (perhaps paradoxically except Syria.)
Western economies continue on their troll-induced march to self-implosion. The defamation attacks on their Comparative Advantage industries intensify, particularly:
- Non-Musk Big Tech / AI
- Non-Musk aerospace (=> Boeing)
- Wall Street / non-crypto finance
- Non-Musk automotive
- Hollywood
Immigration is halted or reversed in most Western countries, halving long-term GDP growth.
Hard to say whether the H5N1 flu will turn into another pandemic.
I'm a young whippersnapper, but how is the current state of affairs more "WW3" than what happened in Vietnam and Korea? To me it seems we're back to cold war.
Russia is a hell of a lot closer to world domination than it was in 1950 or 1970. If anything, the prior "peak" was in 1945, when Stalin failed to call Truman's bluff [1]. Parenthetically, the Haberdasher is the unsung hero of the eight-ish decades of Pax Americana.
