The beginning of recession, no matter how much the "experts" want to deny it in front of everyone.
Economic decline becomes visible slowly but surely, but increasingly obvious.
Another year that shows an old world order and the domination of a certain empire and its lackeys comes to an end.
Needing more or less proto-fascist methods and means to cover it and keep itself up for some more time until all the "important" people have brought their belongings into safety, tells a lot about the state of those countries and "players" who behave like that. And there is only one conclusion to draw from it: Downfall.
But, questionable at the same time is what will replace it. Will the order and domination by another or several other players be better for everyone?
For as long as human economy, multiplying human money and intentionally/approvingly increasing the human world population still are the most important things to bother the humans or any construct or any tool of them, (AI) there can arise whatever new empire that wants to, it won't improve the state of the planet everyone lives on - and, through that, in the long term, the conditions the humans live in (plus all the other living creatures upon this blue ball in the solar system)...
(Who will need humans to populate the planet lavishly anyway, if AI keeps on improving itself, so that the humans can give up some more shares of their cognitive capacity/potential again?)
