The Road to 2025 (Part 1) \u2013 Prepare for a Multi-Polar World<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If pressed to describe what I think the next several years will look like as concisely as possible, I\u2019d simply provide the following quote, often misattributed to Lenin:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

There will be many such weeks from now until 2025, with the end result an emergence of a multi-polar world that will permanently unseat the unipolar U.S. imperial paradigm.<\/p>\n

Since World War 2, the U.S. has successfully sustained a position of global dominance unlike anything the world\u2019s ever seen. Virtually each and every corner of the planet has been subject to inescapable and overwhelming American influence, both culturally and economically. This root of this power didn\u2019t just emerge from GDP strength and the USD, but from Hollywood, popular music and tv shows. The impact of the U.S. empire on the planet over the past 70 years has been extraordinary but, like all things, it too shall pass. I believe this end will be realized by around 2025.<\/p>\n

When I say this sort of stuff people think I\u2019m calling for the end of the world. I suppose that\u2019s what it may feel like to many, because a paradigm change of this magnitude will indeed have monumental global implications. Yet the world will go on, it\u2019ll just be very different place. That said, Americans should not see this as an apocalyptic thing. It\u2019s not healthy or sustainable for one nation to dominate the planet in such a manner. Many of us like to think that a benevolent global empire led by philosopher kings is just fine, but the problem is this is utter fantasy. What happens in real life, to quote Lord Acton, is \u00a0that \u201cpower corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
