Russia's invasion of ukraine has shown how potent the liver world order still is. Henry kissenger started predicting that the united states would have to share in a multi polar world because it didn't have the capacity to remain the hedgamon. And we've constantly been told the united states doesn't have thecapacity to do these things. If at the same time we have china preparing to make a move in the south china sea, or against hiwan, that will also have enormous implications for the region. So i fear that when people talk about these things they posit a kind of smooth transition in which these countries just acquire their spheres of interest and somehow there are no victims.
