Quoting gemini: "In terms of global nominal GDP share, the G7 countries excluding the US accounted for approximately 27.7% in 1960, 26.1% in 1985, and are projected to hold about 21.0% in 2026 (dropping to 13.42% when measured in purchasing power parity)."
This is actually the playbook of every junior partner of any international system,talk is cheap,virtue signaling is what the middle managers are good at,it can even be said that it is the middle managers that wrote these articles.
This is even what made American politics so incomprehensible,the professionals,the bureaucrats all love to project themselves as saints who commit no wrong so that their status can be signaled.
What the middle powers must think about is whether they acknowledge the balance of power or they can simply pretend it don't exist,all these articles about "Aggressive China" is obfuscation because what really matters is whether Japan,SK,Philipines acknowledge the changing balance,this is what they for now failed at.
Even Ukraine is about a change in balance,because Russia now is finally able to at least challenge the West in Eastern Europe,though Russian power is stronger than any individual European state,it's still not enough to overcome it easily.
I like to think I’m one of the two regular readers. Bravo.
Don't make it public!!!
