Not at all, although the USA is certainly not going through good times right now. It won't get better until a president comes in that can simmer things down

I don't really think history rhymes since I believe in climate change, which could be the biggest factor going forward. The USA's attitude toward foreign policy could or couldn't change this year. Biden said he was gonna re-exert the foreign pressure, but wouldn't take any trade deals because the USA needs to spend money on its own infrastructure for this decade. I don't really know what that means, but I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to see that something bad is brewing in the Eurasia zone right now, and the UK might've realized this and ran like fucking hell from the EU. The cracks are already forming, you see France wanting to work the USA, but Germany seems more into China since they've foolishly became dependent on them. Maybe this is why the USA wants to build a silk road through Australia/Japan/India instead

The pandemic has accelerated either China's fall or rise in the region. It's very likely that the clock for their economic collapse is nearing midnight, because of crippling debt, and all those SEA/African countries won't be able to (or maybe they never even planned to) pay back those loans to build their infrastructure. Aggression is the first domino to fall, and them prioritizing HK over economy means they feel the pressure. All the USA needs to do is continue to sanction them and put a chokehold on their tech company's supplies coming from the USA. China's attempt to switch from exportation to domestic market is almost assuredly a ticking timebomb, due to pic related. China's fall will be ugly and horrific and could end up dragging down all the neighboring countries, which is a literal humanitarian crisis. But it also gives the USA a chance to enforce a democratic rule in the region.
