From here, it can either get much better or much worse.
Way I see it, it's bad but not hopelessly bad.
Russia is extremely aggressive and threatening, but at the same time - it's also extremely unstable and may collapse any day now. Kremlin's troll farms can't run forever after the economical collapse, so the global stability may improve in coming years when Russia collapses. But it has to collapse but it's been relentlessly kept alive like a cockroach.
Trump's health is quickly deteriorating and there's a decent chance the old fuck won't live to see the next rally. There's quite few people supporting GOP aside from MAGA freaks, and these guys are masturbating to the image of Trump and Trump alone. The Republicans are running out the clock and the deadline is midterms.
I don't know much about China, but it seems to me that they are doing little to destabilise the world.
True.
Trump dying would be like the worst thing possible.
That basically guarantees Vance as president for 10 years, and unlike Trump, Vance is smart like a devil. He's also firmly in the pocket of corporate accelerationists. That would be scary as hell.
The best thing for, like, the whole world is Trump to finish his term, burn both parties to the ground, and open eyes with everything that gets messed up. The US needs to stop taking its instituions and privledge for granted.
China has coming issues, like their aging population/low birthrate. They don't like to talk about that. Neither does Russia. And their political systems aren't super tolerant of controversy like that.
The US has that existential issue too, but ironically immigration has staved that off (since immigrants skew young and tend to have kids).
