For years, the U.S. has been using its military supremacy and its ability to issue the World's reserve currency to exploit global physical and human resources. This has allowed it to maintain a much higher standard of living than would have been otherwise possible given its diminishing non-financial productivity. As far as the U.S. is concerned, the alternative is unthinkable.
This explains why the U.S. keeps escalating its rhetoric and its military and financial provocations against the other World powers, namely Russia and China.
Fortunately for us, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping have been acting as the adults in the room with a petulant child, and have refused to be provoked. The concern is that the U.S. will miscalculate and overdo it, and trigger a catastrophic response.
