Thanks for this. Good to get reporting on something important I’d otherwise have known absolutely nothing about.

Also interesting is that the USA refused to destroy the smallpox virus.
Despite the bad press for Russia and China, relating to human rights and free speech issues, it seems to me that the USA is also the enemy of civilisation. This is not a new concept for me.
I think, with all the Woke-Rays coming from the USA, that more and more people will see this ‘civilised’ country as it really is – just a sham of civilisation.
OK, thanks for this. Not an easy question to answer. Bear with me, because I am thinking as I write. Of course, the real answer to this question is none of them.
1) As an older person, my whole life, the things I am used to, normality, everything- is bound up with history. I have lived through US domination of everything, from films to pop music to television. So, since the future is relatively short for me, I prefer normality – no change. The USA for me.
2) For my grandchildren things are different. They don’t care about history, even over the last 65 years when I have been around. They think about computers, blogs, phones and apps. They don’t go out unless they have a lift in a car; they think a lot about wild animals in India but don’t even see sparrows around them. If they work, they only want to sit in front of a computer. They think I must be racist and wasteful because I am old. They have 15 minute showers whilst I have 2 minute showers. All of their friends are of indeterminate sex. They are soft. So, for them, for a longer future, I prefer China.
Russians are state-worshipping barbarians. They are not Christians and have not been since the 1920’s. You are too simple-minded. The US has a much more religious population than Russia. Stop being reflexively self-loathing. You should leave the west and go live in Russia with your soulmates.

Maybe we are living through the cusp of change on that question with energy insecurity, civil strife, death of the petro dollar and political wars in USA. Culturally it is hard notto pick USA still and they do have the constitution to fight back. Ask me again in 5 years!!
That is not an honest question, it shows in its asking you are really smearing America.
”Honest Question, would you rather live in Stalinist USSR, Mao’s China, or under Corbyn’s Labour in UK”

This is NOT a serious question – it is just you and the other poster having a go at the West by false equivalents. USSR killed 40 million, China up to 100 Million of their own people in programs of extermination – China has 2 million in Gulags – Grow UP.
No, I wasn’t smearing the US at all. I was challenging Chris W to say whether he would really want to see China or Russia supplant the US.
I was surprised by his response, as you must have been. It appears that he really does prefer China.
You prefer the US, and so do I.

Chris – have you been out in the world, or just gather info from the flavor of MSM which suites your beliefs. I have seen a lot of the world – and I can tell you USA is the very best Nation on Earth, by far, to be living on.
China is purely a slave state – if you do not know this you know very little. USA one is still free. Europe – not so much, UK – not really. But then I am American now, but from UK and EU, and even the ME, and so I have seen it all, know it to my core.
Sure – you may have been in the ME, in China, South America, Africa, but on a UK passport – so the reality you have is entirely false to what the natives live – – they live a very different reality – and you have no idea how free USA is to the rest of the world, including Europe and all the Anglosphere, obviously.
Biden is fallowing Obama in destroying USA freedoms by taking the security state and trying to turn them against the citizens, but has not won yet.

If the world had to be dominated by the hegemony of one country, would you prefer that country to be the US, or Russia, or China?
Honest question.

We mostly have a garbage legacy. This country deserves to collapse.

Russia. At least they are Christians.
USA = most corrupt country in the World.
Russian Christians who kill on the streets of Britain using polonium and novichok. Do you really prefer them to Americans?
