Alexander Dugin nails it. Where he previously lauded Ttump’s new outreach toward peace, he (like many of us) has pulled back the curtain on this theater of the absurd. Trump has unwittingly ignited the very fire his hyperbolic agenda sought to extinguish. Whatever the analogy is for today’s economic decline compared to the industrial rust belt, we in the west are in it. Only those (and I am writing in the USA) living in a fragile bubble of wealth are temporarily immune to the surrounding impoverishment.
One repeated comment made by Russia and China about multi-polarity is that it's "unstoppable." They don't say that because they insist on ramming it down the world's throat, but because it's the natural order of things. It's the way humanity will prosper into the future.
Trump was never consciously working towards multi-polarity, even when he took steps which accelerated its advent. It's not in his thinking at all. He wants America to dominate the world, not to be an equal partner in it.
"Whether you like it or not, the future of humanity belongs to Xi Jinping, Modi, and Putin."
I do not see a single Western leader that comes close to the qualities that those individuals bring to the table. To the degree that they can influence humanity's future, it appears to be in good hands.

Multipolarity hardens under pressure. You love to see it!
