I keep hearing this. First i thought this is just Propoganda. But now i see it in really serious podcasts. Like Glenn Diesen among others Are we all screwed without USA? Are we screwed bcoz of our population collapse? Are we screwed bcoz of this new Iran & Ukrane war? And the unavailability of the Russian cheap oil & gas? And now being able to pay more than 5% for our defence? And unability to compete with Chinese & US tech sector

Like are all these just for propoganda or should i consider some other way to think about this situation? Like French Aircraft carrier going to gulf is regarded as a joke. Like irrelevant. What is happening? Or am i just listening to wrong sources of information?

Just give me your opinion. Whatever it is

My opinion: the word 'because' uses only 3 more characters than the word 'bcoz', yet makes your text more readable and understandable.

Regarding the topic at hand: We've been in decline for centuries, so we're used to it. US, on the other hand, will probably get its' first taste of decline if they don't promptly remove the kleptocrats from power.

We’ve been in decline for centuries

How so? The last 100 years haven’t been that bad

Yes, only 2 world wars. Could have been worse.
