We’ve entered a geopolitical recession, where the old US led world-order is unwinding. This isn’t just a Trump issue- it’s about Europe, BREXIT, about Russia undermining the US and the West, the rise of China and its alternative political and economic models. The geopolitical recession is exacerbated by the lack of anyone being willing or able to take (or replace) the American role- thus, we are left with an enormous amount of instability, and little resilience.
