1. China and Russia will shift world power. They'll inflict a great deal of pain to achieve this.

They see themselves as the sole 21st century superpowers.

2. Makes me grateful that I am old

3. Yes

The 21st century may take shape in a way we would hate.

4. I remember driving out of Manhattan in the spring of 2001

The twin towers were gleaming, great music on the radio, I had the job I wanted, I thought, you know this 21st-century is not gonna be too bad. Soon after that it all went to shit

5. Yes, one horrific event after another.

The biggest disappointment for me is to see our democracy crash so quickly.
Our GOP leaders willingly corrupted to sell us down the river. And the American people going along with it.

I never would have guessed it possible.

7. I know. Through it all I always had faith in America up until now

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes

Foreign powers deliberately undermining us, we might have guessed that was possible.

But half the US government, our media, and a sitting president going along with the foreign powers to end democracy. No I would not have guessed it.

And the rolling back of all the social progress.

6. I googled Lisbon to Vladivostok united Eurasia and the lead article was from 2014, yet lays out

exactly the situation Putin is creating in Ukraine and why. Well known in 2014 and earlier.
