Most of the current international problems in the world are directly traceable to the vacuous ineptitude of the superpower. Despite the remarkable development story of China, there is only one superpower and for the past four years the United States has been somnambulating through a nightmare of millions of desperate illegal immigrants streaming across the border. Despite warnings even from his own supporters, the senescent outgoing president poured gasoline on the fires of inflation and allowed the United States to fall behind China and Russia in the development of hypersonic weapons (though it remains in other respects the world’s greatest military power — that couldn’t be so quickly squandered). U.S. President Joe Biden’s ambiguity about Russian designs on Ukraine was an invitation for a Russian invasion and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, who should have been court martialed for incompetence and insubordination, confidently told lawmakers that the Russians would capture Kyiv within a few days.
