Does China actually want America’s global role? @JeremySFriedman argues Beijing wants influence, but not necessarily the full burden of global leadership.

The clearest evidence of this war's stupidity and failure are the arguments of its most sophisticated proponents:

The WSJ writes about Europe war-gaming a scenario in which Russia invades Lithuania: https://t.co/yf5j5duvAK We ran this exact scenario in a simulation at Yale in 2014, and I played Putin:

China does not aspire to write all the rules of the international system, but it does want the power to revise or veto rules that conflict with its interests, writes @JeremySFriedman. https://t.co/cog6wa3vtV

My latest for @ForeignPolicy , in which I argue that China is not seeking global hegemony but global preeminence, i.e. a sort of "first among equals" status without bearing the burdens of hegemony: https://t.co/AI0TDq6lSI

If Juan Soto steals two more bases, we can be sure he will consider it a successful series - and a successful season.

Putin is likely to fail in Alaska for the same reason Russian leaders have historically failed to understand the US: failing to see how democracy constrains American leaders https://t.co/jSG3JIMPYc

[Jeremy Friedman @JeremySFriedman]

Not a great move strategically - India's relationship with Russia is a major source of tension between Moscow and Beijing, and it's therefore not necessarily in the US interest to weaken that relationship: https://t.co/Z5leUoXrxf

My latest on misconceptions about the issue of demographic decline with @JURISTnews https://t.co/2XaGbNTBLz

[Jeremy Friedman @JeremySFriedman]

Demographic decline now is about where climate change was in 1990.  Some people are trying to sound the alarm, but most are still unaware or skeptical, saying things like "How can the world be warming when it's so cold?" or "Wouldn't that be good - we could grow more in Canada?"

[Jeremy Friedman @JeremySFriedman]

The obvious fact about demographic decline is that, contrary to UN models, there is no reason to believe the decline will magically stabilize, but every reason to believe it will snowball - the fewer kids there are, the harder it becomes to have kids: https://t.co/KwKkQzboUd

My book Shadow Cold War is apparently being read, or at least carried, in high places, according to @NYMag
