The west can't compete, it moved all manufacturing to the global south and China.

The number one thing we can learn from Russia and China is this: Don't rely on other countries for your food and weapons. Self sufficiency in those areas are a matter of national security and national cohesion.

Neglecting those 2 are ultimately what is finally going to end western hegemony.

Can't enforce a dollar hegemony if you don't have the weapons to back it up.
