The West's relative decline seems to be following the traditional trajectory of all powerful states or empires, in the terminal stage. What's striking is that the decline is just military, or economic alone, but occurs in the field of 'intelligence' as well. A stubborn refusal or lack of ability to see the world as it really is, but a strong tendency to see the world as we'd like it to be. It's our ideas that are wrong about the world. We have entered the dangerous stage where our ruling elitesn appears to have internaized our own propaganda as 'real', when it's ony supposed to exist as a way of controlling what the masses are allowed to think. Emotions have taken over, pushing rationality and facts aside. Witness the barely controlled hysteria in Parliament when Zelensky turned up! This is incredibly dangerous. Unreality can never be the base on which an empire builds or pursues its grand imperial strategy. The officially sanctioned left in the British Labour Party, is a disgrace and typifies the intellectual decline of the wider 'left/liberals' and their extraoridnary embrace of war and militarism. This is remarkably and frighteningy similiar to the start of WW1.
