China has trade ships though. This was the same deal back when USSR was around, the empire didn't dare fuck with their shipping either.

They basically solved the terrorism problem already, so I feel like it's past tense now.

My understanding is that prosecutors need concrete evidence to secure a conviction. They have to demonstrate that the accused individual was indeed present at the scene of the crime. I'm guessing that will be extremely difficult to obtain a guilty verdict with circumstantial evidence like that. I would also imagine that many defense attorneys are willing to work pro bono for this case.

An excellent question, I completely missed that.

The problem the US has is that it can't be everywhere at once. The US had to abandon Afghanistan because they wanted to have a proxy war in Ukraine. Now that it failed, they want to either take on Iran or start something with China. My point isn't that US is just going to stop, but that they continuously get weaker in every regard as they continue doing this. There is a real material cost to each of these adventures, and these costs continue to add up. My view is that the downfall will be economic as opposed to a military defeat. Trump will likely accelerate this process with his open trade war on the BRICS.

At the same time, the US military is simply not strong enough to take on its main adversaries like Russia and China. All they can do is to continue chaos around the world which ultimately pushes countries towards BRICS.

As far as I know it's notoriously difficult to cross north. I guess people could go to China and then go north from there though.

I'm not sure how accurate it is, but seems to give the general state of play
