Brazil imports most of its fertilizer.
it also matters what we mean by downfall.

does USA matter if it is going to be subverted and demographically replaced and changed into something it is not of originally.

is a country its people, its laws, its culture, its GDP or its land.

I think it is primarily about people and culture. the rest come afterwards.

The United States is at the pinnacle of its power and will remain so until the other countries will it. Meaning, that till the world's hunger for USD does not cease, the US can fund anything it wants. $700 billion, $2 trillion.... as much defense budget as it wants. Another thing you got to look out for is their propaganda machine; it is world-class.

To the untrained eye, they are just this shining star in the night sky. How many of us as young teenagers felt that the US was awesome? Millions around the world. The amount of energy and effort it invests in marketing itself is second to none. Also, there is a hunger in them to keep making new things using that money. They are at the bleeding edge of technologies, and the tech they don't make, they acquire.

India's FDI is in US$. So basically we are equally a part of feeding their power, just as the oil sellers, as well as commodity traders, are.

Production of fertiliser isn't rocket science :).

And I somewhat agree Russia can't be taken out unless it is disintegrated into several small geographical entity by west.

You need raw material, its not found everywhere, depending on type of fertilizer.

Brazil and Russia are commodity economies. All of them have fairly advanced industries and can always manage to survive based on resource exports alone.
By downfall, I don't mean total collapse. Losing footprint on geopolitical affairs is enough.

Over the years, if industrialisation in Russia and Brazil isn't sufficient to compete with that of Asia-Pacific, they will just be exporting raw materials, importing finished products and will go down the drain to the league what is called a proto-industrial/LDC third world country today.
Russia is nowhere close to going down. They have delineated from the USD and are moving towards a gold-backed system. Russia has a massive reserve of coveted resources including rare earths, radioactive fuel, fossil fuel, metals, stones, and whatnot.
Russia will definitely survive until one world government for humanity. It still will always be losing its influence and will be weaker than it's today and pushed to the league of second tier powers like UK & Japan and a vassal state of China.
Plus they are fairly advanced in several niche technologies to keep them chugging smoothly
No, not at least enough technologies to float. They are just self-sufficient in resources. Otherwise, Russo-Soviet history is a lesson about how to fail an invincible country with horrible management despite having everything.

A colonial power, a competitors to western world in 19th & 20th century in technologies, fairly industrialised and having population at par with China & India at that time, what Russia has been reduced to (and still reducing to) should be compared to downfall of Roman, Ottoman and Mongol empires.
Remember, the Western economic analysis presented by the West puts everyone except their vassals in a bad spot.
No, I didn't quote west. West itself always floated on manipulated currencies and markets. Re-industrialisation of Asia has just f**ed their looting machines.

Asia is set to re-emerge as the power centre of the world as we always were. China, India, Iran, Iraq (Mesopotamia), Egypt, and Greece were the 6 superpowers in the ancient world; the predecessors to modern P5 of the UN Security Council.

Brazil's weak growth is due to a lot of meddling from the CIA/US deep state. Jair Bolsonaro is a very pro-US president, but as he learns, that does not mean that the CIA would allow Brazil to emerge as a potential competitor. There's a reason why Brazil approached Russia for supplying them with aircraft carrier and nuclear submarine technologies, similar to what we did. Hence, his warmth towards Russia. Not to mention that the massive agricultural economy that Brazil has is due to massive fertilizer exports from Russia, while Moscow receives much of its bovine meat from Brazil (among a lot of other exports).

Russia will definitely survive until one world government for humanity. It still will always be losing its influence and will be weaker than it's today and pushed to the league of second tier powers like UK & Japan and a vassal state of China.
Russia and Brazil will retain dominance in their region. They won't be able to project power beyond their immediate areas but in their areas, they will remain insurmountable. Putin knows that and is content with that as long as Russia is intact. At this point, his objective is to vector his supplies from Europe to China, us, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and other emerging economies. Turkey, South Korea, and Japan despite being US allies, are also trading with them and will continue doing so. I can't comment on Brazilian strategic thinking, but they are most likely content in becoming the absolute power in the southern half of the Americas and have no interest in projecting power beyond South America.

No, not at least enough technologies to float. They are just self-sufficient in resources. Otherwise, Russo-Soviet history is a lesson about how to fail an invincible country with horrible management despite having everything.
Brazil has a fairly advanced aerospace and marine engineering industry. Their aerospace industry is much ahead of us with many platforms in service. Russia meanwhile is well known for its strong aerospace sector. Both these countries need strong partners to keep their industries afloat. Russia's UAC is cooperating with China's COMAC for making the Boeing 777/787-10 competitor called COMAC CAC-929.

Brazil meanwhile is finding partners to bolster it's aerospace projects in the future. Reports say that Embraer tried to negotiate a deal with Boeing but failed. Then they approach HAL for collaboration. This is still "under review" as you may know.

One thing that you are forgetting is that there are many countries that are growing fast and they would rather prefer partners like Brazil and Russia who do not meddle in their politics, as opposed to the US and UK that are infamous for upending politics, meddling in internal affairs and exploiting fault lines.

A colonial power, a competitors to western world in 19th & 20th century in technologies, fairly industrialised and having population at par with China & India at that time, what Russia has been reduced to (and still reducing to) should be compared to downfall of Roman, Ottoman and Mongol empires.
This is a given. Russia will continue descending to a regional power's position, but will never go below that level. Brazil meanwhile would again stick to dominating South America, as the continent is itself rich in many resources and they don't need to colonize anyone else or conduct military operations worldwide.

The multipolar world would not see the uni or bipolar world's global conflicts. Why? Because everyone will keep each other in check.

No, I didn't quote west. West itself always floated on manipulated currencies and markets. Re-industrialisation of Asia has just f**ed their looting machines.
Explains the hot-and-cold approach the State Department is using against 40 countries right now (that didn't vote against Russia).

Asia is set to surpass rest of world because of population * economy. By end of century, African population will surpass Asia, Nigeria will compete with China & India in terms of population and may start playing same role as Asia is today against west. No historic reference is associated.

No, that is strictly due to their own socialist policies, overt protectionist trade which destroyed rest of Latin America too just like Brazil. I'm no fan of US but US was at least a bit warm with Brazil and wanted to push them as their right hand and build a supply chain along with them to push back Japan's growing economic influence in west.

Bolsonaro is just a capitalist (even if corrupt to the core). So he will screw Brazil less than previous government.

Brazil on average has always been tilting towards pro-China & pro-Russia side.
Russia and Brazil will retain dominance in their region.
Brazil never had any dominance in any region Americas. It was always a playground for American, Soviets and Chinese for recent times. Brazil itself is a playground of American and Chinese influence.
I can't comment on Brazilian strategic thinking, but they are most likely content in becoming the absolute power in the southern half of the Americas and have no interest in projecting power beyond South America.
How do you think Brazil is going to become absolute power in South America. Since they are not going to dominate their neighbors over foreign powers at least militarily and economically at least.
Brazil has a fairly advanced aerospace and marine engineering industry. Their aerospace industry is much ahead of us with many platforms in service.
Brazilian aerospace industry either produces third generation planes or civilian platforms which is far apart Indian military systems as far as complexity is concerned even if India doesn't produce so many civil airliners like Brazil does and so goes with the navy. Brazil doesn't have any sort of strategic weapons of any great power nor it is planning to produce any. It just doesn't need to be a hegemonic power and is happy with it.
Russia meanwhile is well known for its strong aerospace sector.

This is a given. Russia will continue descending to a regional power's position, but will never go below that level.
Russia is remnant of mighty USSR and will shine for one or two generations but not beyond that since technological progression will require money.

No emotional opinion can change that. And since Russia knows it, it has chosen to settle its problems at the best time, that is, just now.

As told before, Brazil never dominated South America. US did and China is trying. Even they both are competing to influence Brazil itself.

Theres a school that had lots of students from all across and has many students.

one day a new student was admitted from outside. they came with brilliant new thoughts and ideas for the betterment of the school and students.

when they joined they suddenly noticed right next and in front of were also two other students. whatever the student attempted to do the two other old students repeated and adjusted next and nearby. The two other old students were either already ready if not were competent to control if not alter. the new student saw the school develop and progress but was disheartened on how much more it could have been.

The new student once wondered did the other two old students and also the school know and knew that the new student was coming did they realise what the new student would do after joining? the new student saw the other old students "stole" and "benefited" from ideas and made it shown to all the community of students and school were doing well - beyond what they deserved.

did the school benefit. definitely -> but the new student wondered why not more and why in this manner.

The new student went through the school records and noticed there was many before. one at a time singular and at certain stages of the school landmark dates and each time usually one other student and the other older students would becoming suppress and surpass.

the new student wondered why the school would hold and allow this to happen. it was a form of dumbification of the school with intention(?). the new student wondered if the school actually knew already the (new) ideas and thoughts and would supplement the other older students to control and make sure any new student from outside would not be unfettered, unrestrained or uninhibited and more. the new student realised the school knew a lot more and had a lot that the students were not aware of. the new student also saw suddenly the school was sharing and having its curriculum and ideas distributed with another competitor school (some through older students changing to the competitor school). it was on purpose and but what for? anticipation of?

one day the new student wondered what would happen if a LARGE group of new students likeminded came all at once with A LOT OF new ORIGINAL thoughts and A LOT OF new ORIGINAL ideas for the betterment ... of another school (not the competitor*) and students there. (and it starts happening)

a lot and all at once? how can the older students cope ...

the new student realised what if the current school knows and anticipates also this ... eh .......... ? the current school actually knew already there would come when A LOT of original thoughts and ideas that would come at once ? how could this be ?

but the new student began to think the new students that would come and introduce A LOT and were capable of A LOT and would be able to execute A LOT - what about the current school? what would happen?

the new school needed many older students and who they would control. the competitor school would also be used. the current school had planned for this long ago by also having a boarding school of prodigy older students that not many knew about. but they were not unfettered, unrestrained or uninhibited and more and were controlled and prepared to develop only the current school only (not competitor) when time need be.

The current school realised they are not enough older students and prodigy in numbers and they are not having and were not unfettered, unrestrained or uninhibited and more... without full consciousness and righteousness (at a yesterday's moment)

and there with it all walks one new student into the current school and explains through consciousness and righteousness ... that it was not about the school it was about actually about the the older students and the prodigies they are the ganas. that here there is now ANOTHER SCHOOL ...

with that the students and prodigies wake up. the current school transforms. and with that they all want to go to the "another school" and many do. consciousness and righteousness AND unfettered, unrestrained or uninhibited

and - that is it that new student knows much more to the current school. the new student had something that the current school did not ... the new student knew what happens after (graduating) school ...

That new student walks amongst us all. The another school is going to have a special re-opening shortly

What I mean is changing the composition of YOUR country in major ways like changing it ethnically, religiously or culturally (THE TRINITY) will have major effects on all other policies and behaviors of that country.

What America is doing now is like a husband or wife swapping out family members like sons, daughters, grandparents, wifes, husbands, etc out of the extended family and replacing them with strangers due to some percieved social or short term monetary reward.

Even if the incoming person is contributing some skill and money to the whole setup, they cant easily be trusted to care about how America stands in this world and that will for example affect foreign policy.What if that higly skilled indian is manipulated to join politics or big instituions and then manipulated by his own ethnic gov to make favorable deals for India.What if he is self motivated to promote indian interests abroad and the indian community within.What if a Chinese person at minimum stays as an Asian American and develops his power base.What if he is manipulated by the Chinese Gov through MSS to steal secrets.

this is best case scenario but in many cases, the incoming person is just a low skill person with many social risks that is only coming in for a perceived easy milking.

Nationalistic Skilled People of Indigenous Stock >>>> Skilled People of Foreign Nations >>>> Unskilled People of Foreign Nations >>>> Unskilled People of Foreign Nations with Severe Risks (Islamism,etc)

Most of the Western Social Problems are heavily due to intake of mlecchas which have eaten away at their fabric.In this I actually agree with the Far-Right europeans.I am not complaining because it has been fairly positive development for us.This is itself is a symptom of the Failure of Liberalism which does not have an explanation for how to deal with other ethnicities other than accommodation.

The Combination of Arab and Japanese Foreigner Dealing Culture is Ideal.

Africa cannot surpass China and India as a power centre because the continent does not have a depth of Civilizational history ( I don't include Egypt here as it was primarily focused towards ME and Mediterranean) and has not had enough arable land to support large populations. What population Africa supports now is because of industrialized Agriculture by using heavy amounts of fertilizer. Without it Africa cannot support huge population as the land which is arable enough to grow crops will become unproductive in the absence of fertilizer inputs.

In a deglobalisation scenario, Africa will be food insecure. Food security is the foundation of Civilizational dominance.

Interesting article, unfortunately it is true specially for south Asian countries. Gora has left us for long, but their superiority is embedded so deep it is difficult to erase easily.

And New York City doesn't stay there for long whereas New Delhi is pretty much a permanent fixture on that list which is very bad news.
