The problem that the western countries face is that there is no "West", nor is there any sort of western strategy or longterm planning going beyond the horizont of the next elections/next financial quarter.

Yet, the countries that do not belong to this increasingly obsolete club of waning colonial powers certainly do consider the West an adversary and a hegemon to be displaced.

In this post-truth world tyrants now call themselves formers of a new democratic world order. SMH.
