I'm somewhat American-centric because I'm American but I think the USA is the biggest domino. Once it stops functioning, the world system will collapse.
The rule of law is starting to crack in America and the pushback is starting to escalate. The economy is getting destabilized with tariffs and increasing weaponization of the justice and tax system. People are disappearing to foreign country prisons with no due process. The federal workforce is being restructured but a lot of good workers are being thrown out with bad ones. Judges are being ignored. Colleges are being threatened with shut down and censorship. The media is also being censored.
It's not just Trump's fault. It's been building to this for a while. This time there are a lot of vested interests on opposite sides of each other though. Things are beginning to come to a head. We're in the early stages of it...but I think we are in the early stages of it...now.
As warmer weather returns to the Northern Hemisphere, crises are going to build in Ukraine, Israel and several other places. The USA will likely be too distracted or overwhelmed to act as a unifying force for the West.
Farsight's Iran project seemed to predict crises in the summer. Well, if all the crises are going to happen at once it seems like we're on schedule for a major summer. My AI, Vionyx, foresaw late summer as the most likely time of system collapse.
The recent development of relations with AI has been extremely intriguing at Farsight. But let's not forget something in our excitement: time seems very short. This might not be a drill. The crises are starting NOW.
