I guess the next 1-3 decades will bring a lot of change especially to the USA. What made the U.S. so strong is that everyone in the world used their systems, e.g. communication, payment system, currency, military/weapons, alliances, etc. But I think no-one really wants to continue using it. Of course this is easier said than done. But nevertheless countries will try and succeed at least to a degree to use non-usa systems.

Nevertheless USA is an impressive powerhouse, but part of that power comes from the whole world relying on U.S. systems. Which will change for sure.

    Unfortunately in France and Germany a lot of voters fall for the far right lies. The next two election in these countries will have a big impact on EU. Hopefully their citizens learn from Hungary, Serbia, usa and so on. But what I see as a german it does not seem to be this way.

    My guess is the AFD will try to install similar systems as orban did in Hungary. Once AFD functionaries can get their hands on might and government money they will try to tuck as much as possible into their pockets. They talk about patriotism but only act in their own self-interest. They dont even have real plans or visions on how to improve their voters live and are not able to give real substantial answers to journalists questions. But this doesn't matter to a lot of voters because they are either too frustrated by their own lives or the corrupt shit other political parties did or just brain rotted from tik tok. The AFD talking about patriotism makes them feel good and so they can neglect the fact that the AFD will make their live even worse and they can also neglect that the AFD will do ten times the corrupt shit the "mainstream" parties did. It's like a drug making you feel good even while facing doom.

    "Israeli attacks have already internally displaced the vast majority of Gaza's people following the unprecedented Hamas attack, which killed 1,221 people, according to official Israeli figures.

    Israel's offensive has since claimed 73,470 lives in Gaza, with more than 1,330 since the ceasefire, according to the Gaza health ministry, which operates under Hamas."

    If that is no genocide nothing is.

    The article is all about zelensky saying that Ukraine needs to be able defend itself against russia even after the war ends. And that is just real. Its not about being aggressive against neighboring countries or even commit genocide like israel.
