Obviously none of the above. It's too distinct and too much of a regional power. Also, I don't believe the demographics changes predicted by that article.

You can make the case that it will continue to move closer to China because of shared geopolitical interests. Like Britain or Germany are to America.

But in many ways we're losing our belief in American Exceptionalism.

It's a natural reaction to a relative loss of power. It's not really possible for America to be the world's sole hegemon anymore due to the rise of China and foreign policy failures (see Bush).

Trump will reduce funding for Ukraine and NATO if he gets in but will be a hawk on Israel and China.

Trump can't be a hawk on China unless he increases the defense budget. And he'd rather have tax cuts for the uber wealthy.

@beckyromero True, but he makes a lot of noise. Maybe not a hawk. A loud chicken.

I believe I mentioned once about China wanting to expand into Manchuria and on upwards. Yet I still think they'll take over Mongolia first.

Watch for it! That will be the warning sign! Nobody seems to care about Mongolia.

It won't be Putin if Russia comes under those stresses.

Russia will become a protectorate of China.
