In response to Trump: Russia, India are ‘lost to deepest, darkest China’. Guess who did this, Donald?

Mysteriously superior or mysteriously doomed?

Witheringly convincing. Electing a petulant, five-alarm snake oil salesman as President (who has assembled a like-minded governing cult within the White House) is not what has caused the dismal Western trajectory so well analysed in this article – but it has certainly accelerated this development.

The US — and its Global West posse — are steadily looking more mysteriously ill-starred (even doomed), rather than mysteriously superior.
