The Western Oligarchy vs. the Eastern Oligarchy - our vs. theirs. So far theirs are winning.

There is a tectonic shift happening in the world's power structures right now. All the world's pressures - economic, social, political, ecological and overpopulation - are colliding on a landscape that is being stripped of both renewable and non-renewable resources. What will happen as a result is impossible to tell, but most of the probable outcomes seem to be negative, both for the USA and much of the world.
