So the reality of a trump presidency is setting in and I'm starting to think of the historical transitions of "world powers". As a hegemon, the US emerged as a world power as a victor in WW1, WW2, and the cold war, all of which were violent conflicts. Now, the US falters as China emerges as their respective philosophies on government play out.

Is there any way the US passes the baton to China in a peaceful manner?

What does that mean for us in the near future?

How's your Saturday night?

In Romania, while direct political violence did happen, it was hardly a blip as far as violent revolutions go.

And the civil war in Tajikistan. And wars in Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh. And the war in Donbass and so on.
