Related is the PM of Canada’s speech at Davos today. I don’t think that I have heard such a blunt assessment of the past and future from a politician, ever.
This may be a historically significant speech.

This man is clearly one of the leaders of the new free world.
He should be pissed. Not as a Canadian, but as someone who understands the benefits of a global system of rules that has made everyone who cooperates rich, which has included himself.
What we have witnessed under 47 is that a small group of the world's rich ideologues were so maniacal and myopic that they screwed it up for everyone.
As a relative "poor", this pisses me off as well, as peace and prosperity will likely, at least temporarily, devolve for us all as Pax/Oeconomia Americana unwinds. Utter insanity.
Honestly as an American I'm just happy to see some open talk and movement by world leaders. This breakdown has been clear for at least 10 years, maybe 20 if you're smart, but nobody did anything. I hope Europe can learn to work with China here. I don't think the whole system is dead, they just need to find other dance partners.
Good speech indeed
