Are you living at Rat's house now? Your posts are becoming quite disjointed. what do these events have to do with Bakmut? One of the recent events that indicate this shift is the decision of OPEC+ to cut oil production against the wishes of the Biden Administration. The move shows that OPEC+ countries are less willing to comply with US interests and that they are confident enough to pursue their own agenda. Similarly, Japan's decision to buy Russian oil above the US-instigated price cap demonstrates that even some US allies are becoming more independent and are willing to defy US interests. Another indication of multipolarity is the recently announced de-dollarization of mutual trade between China and Brazil. This move reflects a growing trend among some non-NATO countries to reduce their reliance on the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. Of course, this trend was discussed at the the recent Putin-Xi summit, which would have been notable if that were the summit's only development. But of course the bigger development there was the emerging Russia-China alliance, forming a block that will likely be militarily superior to the U.S. soon--if it isn't already. the US's current inability to keep pace with Russian arms production, despite outspending Russia on defense by more than 10x, highlights the challenges the U.S. faces in maintaining its military superiority. U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley testified last week that China's military was only on pace to eclipse America's by mid-century seems naive in light of that. As French economist Jacques Sapir illustrated last fall, the productive sector of China's economy (manufacturing, etc.; not services) may already be three times the size of America's; if Russia alone is outproducing our artillery shell production now, imagine what China could do.
