If China, India, Pakistan, Russia, Iran, Israel, and sundry countries in that Asian continent find it convenient to trade with each other, and buy coffee, diamonds and whatnot from Africa, and maybe bits and pieces from south America, that looks like an economic quorum. Population = 3 billion people or 4 billion people, maybe 5 billion people. Do those 5 billion look at Boris and Biden and think 5 billion should genuflect to a senile corrupt bribe taker and a clown? Population 0.4 billion. A twelfth of Russia's trading partners. I doubt that Emperor Pooh Xi or Modi see inspirational human leaders in B&B. Heck I doubt that the French, Germans or Italians are totally in love with them either. The British Empire was a great and glorious (GG) effort that brought civilisation and VVV to the benighted hordes. Selling capital, industrial revolution, Enlightenment, private property and free enterprise, British Subject passports, lingua franca, to anywhere and everywhere, common law and parliamentary law, freedom and self determination. Wonderful. But just as Elon Musk's grandchildren are very unlikely to adopt his GG VVVs, the inheritors of the GG British Empire ruined it. Barbarians like Idi Amin took over many places. Socialist commie kleptocrat bossy bastards inherited UK, NZ, Canada, USA, Oz which were core to the GG Empire. UK did not want to be overrun by hordes fleeing "independence" and taking over Londonistan, so Enoch Powell and others pulled up the drawbridge and dropped the portcullis, but too late. London has gone third world, not GG. Sadiq Khan!! USA has jumped the shark too. What is indisputably admirable about USA? Elon is African. His main factories are in Shanghai and Berlin. He's admirable. The US$ is an item more like a WMD than reliable stalwart. People are scared of it. Bitcoin, an inefficient, slow, awkward and insecure Cybermoney has already reached $trillion level market cap. NFTs are preferred. I think I'd prefer roubles to USD right now. Or maybe yuan or rupees. Maybe I should buy a Crimean summer house. I guess prices are good. Mqurice
