GM gentlemen, definitely a NWO with three empires. Not necesarily competing for world domination, but each developing and advancing science and technology inwards and outwards. Territories? Natural Resources? Human talent, ingenuity, and creativity are abundant. Here is my list to Santa: a. NATO is downsized, b. Europe became neutral, c. The EU is dismantled and, d. Africa is assisted. INDOPACIFIC? India would love to be that 4th Empire.
The professor has no place for peace, he substitutes reasons and examples for evidence, he fails to consider culture. And the USA a great power? Maybe in lies, subversion, profiteering, homelessness, military bumbling, veterans' suicides, political conflicts of interest, and national debt but hardly in lawfulness, health, education, free speech, humanity, or happiness.
The more I listen to Mearsheimer, the more convinced I am that China is secretly allied to our rich and powerful who obviously are not going to pass up THAT opportunity. Ideology isn't worth spit. Never was. It is only a tool of control and obsfucation. Follow the money.
Never been a supreme authority, but there have usually been alliances. The king of the mountain is always the target of one or more others. In a nuclear weapon world, why seek hegemony, particularly if you have powerful allies? Then there is the issue of empires rotting from the inside out through corruption and/or tyranny - like the U.S. today. Look what 'friends' has today- they have become liabilities. I believe China learns from history, theirs and ours and others, successful and unsuccessful tactics, goals and methods. Like any good student, they will take what lessons they like and leave the rest. Something the U.S. clearly did NOT do. Greed blinded, then killed in this country.

Yup.
