100% definitely in Flux .. at an inflection point, many of those who are able to see beyond the internal politics can see this ( both of those we think as on the "right" and the "left" )
We are it appears moving from maximalist apex global trade to more regionalist
From a quick scan, I see a number of items the author failed to appropriately address :
1) I do strongly believe the author is incorrect about the Russo-Ukraine war, as from an economic pov the West / EU / USA can easily assist Ukraine in a Win, Russia's economy is but the size of Texas or Italy.
It is simply a question of will power of the West, and as we learned in WWII - better to be proactive and win cheaper than reactive and pay untold amounts of $ and humans in war.
2) Re the Middle East, the author seems to miss the significantly larger picture of what is going on .. I see no mention of the natural gas pipeline proposals which were to transit Syria and the Iran / Shiite vs Sunni struggle
I did like that he did discuss population growth and food related issues in the Middle East, some of the critical ones to this discussion imho.
I'll have to scan the article a bit more when
fintechzoom news I have time ..
