      The question is when though. The British empire only got its comeuppance a third of a millennia into its imperialistic practices. We have a rules based world order now, which can help, but with America rocking in the fetal position in the corner and China continuing to ascend (and China-Russia relations growing) the West is going to have to get its house in order if it wants a favorable outcome here.
