What do you suppose will happen if the West goes out? Who will take their place? ~~Soviet~~ Russia and China? Do you SERIOUSLY want that??? Besides, I thought we were all for technologies like bitcoin undermining governments and establishing a more free world, not for military dictatorships taking over failed empires. WTF.

Frankly, you seem to relish to enter into arguments but I'm not really a troll, I can't waste my time arguing with somebody who is obviously trying to show he knows something when he is clearly not well-read.

Read about Multi-polar world. The new world is not about hegemony which was the US domination of the world for the past decades. But all the debates are immaterial because there is already a de-facto multi-polar world.

What is happening in Ukraine is the desperate effort of the US to remain the hegemon. It usually enforces dollar hegemony through its military & it is using the Ukraine fiasco to force Russia not to ditch the dollar. As you know, anybody who stayed away from the dollar, they were attacked like Iraq & Libya. But Russia is a nuclear power so it can not be attacked frontally by America. It had to create its usual destabilization tactics & created the Ukraine fiasco to weaken Russia. But Russia strengthened instead & it created the alternative financial system with the BRICS which will make the Western financial system redundant. That ensures the collapse of the debt-ridden dollar financial system. It doesn't mean the US will disappear, it just means it is just one of the countries like everybody else.

The Ukraine fiasco is considered the Waterloo of the American empire. It is more or less accepted even in America it is declining. Except for the shadow players who are obviously panicking because the people will surely lynch them
