As the USA returns to relative isolation (“Five Eyes” of the anglosphere), and world patterns of defense, finance, transport, and trade return to historical norms, the USA, which almost alone protects investments, (a) it’s in the USA’s interest for the world to spiral into conflict and do nothing about it (b) capital will flee to the USA even more so than it does now. Chaos is now the USA’s friend.

RUSSIA IS DYING
Russa covers eleven time zones. Russian infrastructure is decaying. The russian economy can’t maintain or replace it. Russian production is low tech. Most russian territory is of limited agrarian production. Most resource extraction requires long distance transportation. Russia has few and very limited access to seaports to reduce the cost of trade. Russia’s population of 144M is likely to decline to as little as 83M by 2100 meaning it’ll have the same population as england or germany or france, and neither the people nor the economy to pay for holding eleven time zones of defense, infrastructure, and services necessary for the preservation of resource extraction. They know this. This is one of the reasons they want Ukraine. Ukraine can feed all of europe. If ukraine exploited the Black Sea offshore oil deposits they would be economically and energy independent.
