Another question here. (I am good at questions.)
That is a good reflection on the current situation, but if USA can no longer influence by power, and it could well be true that might be on the horizon for various reasons, then who the hell can. Please don't suggest the UN, who could have prevented the Iraq war but became dumb-struck and now represents a corrupt convention of questionable regimes.
So who gets to hold the conch? Threadbare, corrupt, bureaucratic nightmare EU?
China? India - who , according to Geoffrey Archer in his speech to India, will soon control Britain financially and politically. ( don't assume I have a prejudice against India - we taught them very well and will have earned their place by rising to the surface through their own efforts, as previous communities have done here.
Or will we look back to good old days of USA benign dominance and order?
Cheerful old soul, ain't I.
