    I think this next century is going to be that of the middle powers.

    Countries that are agile, looking to innovate and solve problems, and work towards equitable futures for everyone.

    America is all in on oligarchy and the nouveau riche, and nothing else. There is zero investment in the common good and zero care for the nation as a whole.

      I just hope the American super-capitalist model will be abandoned together with the authoritarian model of Russia.
      And I actually see a path to that effect, question is if we (western democracies) will take it.

          “together with” (not “together, with”) means ze wants both to be done away with, not the former replaced with the latter

          Yes obviously not wanting super-capitalism or authoritarianism means I want oligarchs?
          That makes a lot of sense if you don’t think about it.
