Egregoros

@cjd @apropos @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @MongoMonkey @NoDoxGregBrady Just because it's not obvious what that currency would be now doesn't mean there isn't one. It's just trust based. Some kind of global hegemony will keep reasserting itself if only to avoid nuclear options and that will continue to be the case until society simply loses the ability to produce competent elites, which contrary to hyper-polarizing propaganda, it hasn't yet.

Moltipolarity isn't a real thing that's going to stick. The notion seems to mostly come from Russian propagandists, no-brainer why they'd push it. They push anything and everything that undermines American hegemony.

@apropos @cjd @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @NoDoxGregBrady Same strategy that allowed the British Empire to triumph over Europe, more or less.

The big mistake that Israel KEEPS making with Iran (this is like the 3rd time they've tried) is that there is no energy for internal revolution in Iran. It's more or less a modern country in spite of attempts to destabilize it. It would be like trying to start a revolution in modern Turkey, but for some reason they just assume it will happen over and over and over again even though it has never shown any signs of success.
