Both China and Russia are on the verge of demographic collapse. Their workforce, including their military, is ageing out quickly, and there are vastly too few young people to replace them. This will cause China's current economic collapse to worsen for decades. It will also deplete their military to the point of ineffectiveness. They have less than a decade before their military and economic power are irrelevant. And that means they are desperate.
Russia is facing similar military and economic collapse. They have a military that they cannot sustain because there are far too few young soldiers to replace those who are retiring (or being killed). Thus their ability to defend their already indefensible borders will only decrease; leaving them impossibly vulnerable. Like China, they likely have less than a decade.
The war in Ukraine has exposed the weaknesss of the Russian military in ways that nobody expected. The curtain has been pulled back, and the guy behind it doesn't look much like the great and terrible OZ.
Vivek is a smart kid; but his youth is a big problem. He is NOT going to waltz into Russia and convince Putin to break ties with China. I mean, what IS he smoking?
RFK is an interesting character; but the DNC won't allow him to run. They'll break any rule or law to ensure his candidacy comes to naught.
It's not clear to me what the democrats are going to do about Joe -- and especially about Kamala. If they could talk Michelle into running I think they'd happily push Joe off a cliff; but I don't think Michelle is going to take the bait. Newsome? After running California into the ground I don't think he'd be likely to win against his dog -- if he has one. Whitmer? She has a greater ability to induce cringe than Hillary does. Eeewwww!
I think the democrats are in a box (of their own making) and will simply have to hope and pray that Trump is the GOP nominee and that Joe stays alive for another six years. They care about Joe's pulse and couldn't care less about his brain.
Will Trump be the nominee? Frankly, I think everything turns on that boolean variable. If yes, the democrats win. If not, they lose.
