In December last year, Russia's Vladimir Putin said: "A country is declining, and a new order is being born". If he is right, then it is a critical juncture for the change of the old and new order. A change of order is usually accompanied by killing and chaos. There is a lot of historical evidence for this.
We often say that the world is bustling with profit. The change of order usually begins with the international ** system. Throughout Chinese history, dynasties have usually maintained order for hundreds of years. The order of the world itself contains the traditional international system of tributary ** since ancient times.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were in turmoil for hundreds of years, and it took many generations for the Qin State to finally unify the world again, but the real rule of the world died in the second generation, and the Qin Dynasty collapsed after only 14 years. After hundreds of years of chaos in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty unified the world again, and it also died II, and collapsed in 37 years.
The unification of the short-lived dynasty was followed by a long-lasting dynasty of great unification. What is the essence of this historical similarity? The old order is old because it has many ills. To ** these ills, it is necessary to use fierce medicine to eliminate it. It is similar to a high fever in illness. It's like a person who is born with a serious illness, and the body's own immunity will fight the disease in order to save itself. This can lead to symptoms of high fever. When the high fever subsides, people can really get up.
For the order of the Chinese world since ancient times, the Qin Dynasty was a high fever, and then ushered in the heyday of the Han Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty was a high fever, followed by the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, China lost its deer, and the barbarians chased the deer, and gradually formed a new order. Later, the Opium War broke out, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as a kind of Yidi China, lost its deer again, and the red-haired ghosts chased it away, and finally formed a world integrated order.
Similar to the Qin and Sui dynasties, the United States also had a high fever before the formation of a truly global order. This may be the basis for the judgment of Russia's Putin that "a country is declining, and a new order is being born". In fact, what the order was after World War II, Russia** Putin has more say. The usual judgment is that the post-World War II order is an international order in which the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony. It has been 27 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Referring to the 14-year Qin Dynasty order and the 37-year Sui Dynasty order collapse time in Chinese history, the 27 years for the United States to achieve global hegemony are neither long nor short. Hotspot Engine Project Is it now possible to assume that the United States is also experiencing a high fever? The answer seems to be yes. As a global leader, the United States is the America of the world, and it means creating and maintaining an all-encompassing world order. As a nation, America is America of America. Many people can't see the difference between the United States of the world and the United States of America. So much so that while the current Biden of the United States is emphasizing that the United States is the world's number one power, the former Trump of the United States is shouting that the United States is a declined country.
Actually, neither of them is wrong, Biden is emphasizing the United States of the world, and Trump is emphasizing the United States of America. But they all went to extremes and did not dialectically unify the two. The United States seems to emphasize unilateralism externally that "those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish", and internally it seems to emphasize multilateralism of "equality of all beings, democracy and freedom". To put it simply, it is to force countries around the world to sacrifice their own interests to contribute to the prosperity of the United States. This is clearly an unsustainable order! Let me ask you, what country in the world will, as always, sacrifice its own interests to achieve the United States? This will inevitably be met with resistance and even struggle by certain countries. What to do? Killing and chaos ensued.
The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and so on are all strange things that happened under the new American order. Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria are clearly not opponents of the United States in terms of force, but the Russia-Ukraine war, which took place on February 24, 2022, is different. Although the United States does not have the courage to directly fight Russia, which was born out of the Soviet Union, it has tried its best to encourage and support Ukraine, Russia's enemy, to fight Russia to the death. What does this mean? Russia is actually challenging the U.S. international order and causing it to collapse.
And why does Russia dare to challenge the American international order? This is based on the judgment of the decay of the United States. In fact, the United States is just having a high fever. That's why the former Trump warned Americans that the United States is a declined country. From the collapse of the Soviet Union to the present, the United States has ruled the world for 27 years. In the 2008 financial crisis, thanks to the strong support of the big countries in the East, the United States was lucky enough to save its life and survived until now.
Now that the United States is once again facing a serious economic crisis, it is still arrogantly blowing up the financial bubble and forcing the big countries in the East to sacrifice their own interests to feed the lazy Americans. Obviously, the big countries in the East have eaten a catastrophe and grown wise, and they will stop doing it! What we are seeing now is that the United States has been unable to make a breakthrough in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has restarted, but the United States' ** real estate market has been singing all the way. Everyone is waiting for the moment when the bubble of death in the United States bursts.
The above analysis is purely a personal judgment, and I hope you can understand it dialectically. In this era of change of order, it is usually a suffocating moment, but also a sobering moment, I hope it helps you. It is precisely because we are all able to live in this era that we can judge that Bitcoin is crazy as a hard currency that never goes out of style, and Bitcoin is also crazy as a potential hard currency.
Why can you be crazy? Because the speculators are betting that the United States will win, they have the strength to force the eastern powers to export their interests to the United States. If this expectation is not changed, then on the other hand, the great powers of the East will collapse until they truly become the architects of the new order. Remember! From a historical point of view, the United States is bound to lose.
