Sure. China will own one half the world, the us the other.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

In the same way that russia mistook themselves for a beneficiary of such a world. Turns out they're not even a regional power.

Belaqua:
Having said that you were right about this: I mean, I reject all forms of imperialism, including American imperialism, I must remind you that other countries are doing the exact same thing instead of resisting this neo-colonialism.
Today Belisarius has sent 3 F-16’s to Somaliland in order to “fight islamist extremists” and “support the local government”. Russia is sending its Wagner murderers to the Sahel region to increase its influence and get old colonial powers out of the region. China is implementing itself basically anywhere it can to “manage” local resources and take them back to China for a better price.
…and that’s the reason why I try to avoid “made in China” as much as I can.
I mean: This isn’t the way forward. What do we gain by replacing one type of imperialism by another even more predatory form of imperialism? We are supposed to go forward, not to return to 15th century slavery or “colonies” in the model of the early industrial age.
So that’s not how it’s works. Once again: You get scared of the Devils shadow and you go hug his ankle.
Other comments: Trump needs to understand that there is and has to be an international world order. He is withdrawing from NATO, withdrawing from the UN, trying to create his own personal “Board of Peace” with the other populist leaders of the world is not a very serious enterprise. If there is a “Society of Nations” this society of nations will have to be backed by all major powers of this world. It will need to be a democratic institution. And there will not be a 1 billion dollar entrance fee either.
So all of this is not very serious.

Very seriously seeking further bribes. What can I say, the man isn't content to steal from us.
The mad kings peace plan™ for ukraine, that he said would work day one, is the same it's ever been. First, ukraine surrenders all the territory russia can't take by military force. Second - there is no second. Surrender is the whole plan. He continues to congratulate putin for not bombing ukraine as putin bombs ukraine.
