      This a crucial point: USA commitment to global order depended on bipartisan elite consensus from 1945-2016 which allowed policies to survive despite popular opposition. Trump has broken than consensus. https://twitter.com/pstanpolitics/status/1005623915564040192 …

      A lot of the American elite think they can put the egg back together again. If Trump is defeated in 2020, they can return USA to being pillar of international order. I have my doubts.

      Baseline fact is USA is a very wealthy, militarily strong country that does business all over the world. For foreseeable future it'll be a global player despite Trump's clownishness. But being a major player not same as being pillar of international order.

      USA was big global player without being pillar of order from late 19th century to 1941. In some ways, Trump is a returning USA to that period.

      One thing is there are no plausible alternative global hegemon. China is getting richer but has limited cultural & diplomatic reach. Europe is fraying. Russia is poor & erratic. Likeliest alternative is regional hegemons with big spheres of influence.

          It must be dismaying to the United States of Europe types that they have their one chance to fill the roll at the very moment the project is falling apart.

          I mean it's essentially the same devolution from unipolar to multipolar as after the fall of Rome right?

          Yes, but internet-facilitated globalism cuts against regional hegemony

          Bless your naive, naive heart. Obama didn’t even undo half the bad blood that W did. American hegemony is not recovering from this.

          With the decline of governmental power, the other alternative to a global hegemon ala "Pax Americana" is international mega-corporations owned and operated by oligarchs and kleptocrats. We're already halfway there on those.

          Worth going back to some of Kindleberger’s 1970s arguments about this - e.g.https://www.dropbox.com/s/mxo1x0n34bcwg4s/Week_1_Kindleberger.pdf?dl=0 …

          China is not just rich; it has made unprecedented investments across the globe that are setting the stage for China to be the next US. This will happen sooner than most Americans realize.

          It's aging fast and about to go through a fuckton of demographic-related stresses though, on top of the creepy AI thugocracy and reeducation camps.
