    I think they are gambling on a pre-emptive strike before the Global South catches up. That’s why they are folding Europe into full subservience and pushing away ties with the PRC and RF. There isn’t a real winning strategy unless you reindustrialize.

      They would simply never do this. Who in the US could possibly discipline capital enough to force them back to US production in a meaningful way? So yeah, no winning strategy for empire.

      I would also say that BRICS has already caught up to the US. It’s most of the world’s population (or close to it) and the vast majority of industrial production.
