'The most dramatic event after US defeat in the Ukraine will surely be the retreat of the USA, as it is expelled from Eurasia, a process which began in Vietnam and then continued in Iraq and Afghanistan. The nationalist Trump wanted to withdraw voluntarily, but he was not allowed to, therefore the humiliating US withdrawal will happen by force, as it did in Kabul. ‘Yanks, go home’, chants the whole world, including many in Western Europe, tired of US tyranny. In Eurasia the US now occupies only a few islands (Taiwan, Japan, Singapore), the tips of two peninsulas (Korea and Western Europe) and the seaboard edge Israel. It will have to leave all of these, except for the Non-Palestinian parts of Israel. Taiwan will naturally return to China, Japan will have to find its own way, reconciling itself to a reunited Korea and submitting itself to China economically. For Western Europe, see below.
The fall of empires is a natural happenning. We can see from history. Empires rise and fall as the world changes. People change, alliances change, even climate changes.

ReplyDeleteOf the 13 million people who join India’s workforce each year, only 1 in 4 MBAs, 1 in 5 engineers, and 1 in 10 general graduates are employable. That is to say, the bulk of their graduates are unemployable.
India’s jobless rate rose to 16-mth high at 8.3% with 75% MBAs, 80% engineers and 90% other grads unemployable.
The urban unemployment rate was worse, rising to 10.09 per cent in December from 8.96 per cent in the previous month.
In some states, the unemployment rate was more than 20 per cent. Unemployment rates hit 37.4 per cent in the northern state of Haryana, followed by 28.5 per cent in Rajasthan and 20.8 per cent in Delhi.
The intense competition for jobs in India has also encouraged fraud committed during job applications.
