The war in Ukraine will absolutely be taught in history books as the catalyst for the fall of the western empire.

I only hope I live to see the day where I can read that book.

Yeah, hope we'll make it through the next couple of months without Biden starting a nuclear holocaust.

Honestly, considering the warhawks already announced for the Trump cabinet, even Biden leaving isn't a guarantee the government doesn't press that button anytime soon.

I do think Trump will wind down Ukraine, but we'll probably see an escalation with China instead. Most of the hawks he picked are China hawks.

Yeah, that's a fair point. History is definitely happening a lot lately, someone should probably tell Fukuyama about it.
