Supply-Chain Mess of the West
Globalists turned the West into paper tigers in the past 30 years. The Biden Administration was the last straw. China, Russia, & Türkiye are closely working together, unlike how Trump left them then.
The US led Western economies, with Globalists in power, dug themselves into a hole. On election day in November 2025, the supply-chain mess of the West is the most debilitating problem for the Western economies.
However, that is not the sole or the main problem for the 47th president. There are a lot of other varied issues to fix. They range from the loss of the US hegemony to ongoing wars and possibly the Third World War. Yet, none of it is the crux of the problem either.
Normally, the 47th President must immediately work on the counter strategies against the competing Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). Unfortunately, the Biden Administration effectively put the BRI on the backburner. As if that is not enough, the 46th also created additional problems of gargantuan nature for the 47th to resolve.
Globalists, including Joe Biden, were in power 28 of the 32 years. In 1992, the West controlled 26 percent of the global GDP. In 2016, the percentage was down to 15. In the past four years, two wars and millions of sacrificial lambs are not the full story. Their legacy must also include the demise of the defense industry and its ripple effect.
THE BELT & ROAD INITIATIVE
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a global infrastructure development strategy. “It was adopted by the Chinese government in 2013. Since then, more than 150 countries and international organizations have become part of it.”
Without Türkiye, the BRI could not have come to fruition. It is a natural bridge between Asia and Europe. Unlike Russia, the-other-only natural bridge, it is open for business all year. Roads, rails, and ports do not shut down in winter.
Supply-Chain Mess of the West
Changing Realities
The US and the rest of the Western powers used to have absolute control. They were in charge of natural resources across the globe. At will, they were able to exploit and enrich the West at the expense of the East.
Shipping lanes were in their control but also the “regimes” in power in many countries. So, the flow of natural resources and mass migration from the East to the West were manageable. The supply-chain was in harmony.
There were no shortages, and more importantly no threats, so long as the US hegemony was in place. The “mess” the West faces today began in 1992 when Globalists came to power and remained in charge 28 of the 32 years.
US Hegemony
In the second half of the 20th century, there was US Hegemony in the world. The Middle East and Far East, coupled with Africa, were in the US mold.
Their natural resources had a single destination. The US took most of it. The European Community took the rest. There was not much left for the rest to prosper.
As a result, some people in the East had no choice but to migrate to the West. The West mostly “cherry-picked the most desirable ones” among these migrants.
In other words, both natural and human resources of the world were at the service of the West. One billion lived well. Billions endured a mediocre life if not misery to date.
Absence of the US Hegemony
For the West, in the first quarter of the 21st century, tables have totally turned for the worse. The Eastern powers began to control their destiny more and more.
As a result, the West, including the US, continue to become more and more dependent on the East: Nobody but Globalists are to be blamed for this mess.
Rapidly eroding US Hegemony was most clear during the Covid-19 months. Supply chain interruptions caused severe damage to the economy, military but also morality.
All the while, mass migration from the East to the West continued like an ever-growing avalanche. Illegals increased on the US border, flooding from Mexico.
Western Europe equally shared the misery with the US. The 2015 Syrian invasion became a nightmare, never imagining Ukrainian flood in 2022 will be even worse.
Supply-Chain Mess of the West
What The 47th Must Fix
Currently, the East is prospering at a rapid pace while the West is declining equally fast. Supply-chain mess is the main and insidious problem.
Thanks to the Globalist regimes, the West today does not control destiny. Yet, despite that, it is ironic, the smaller the minds get, greater the conceit becomes in the West.
Today, the woe of Germany reflects this problem the best. For example, Germany can no longer play hard-ball against Türkiye. It loses massively every time it does.
The US in the meantime, with Joe Biden at the helm, practically killed the US defense industry exports. Aircrafts, drones, and defensive batteries are only some of them.
Nuclear Industry of Germany
Very recently, the nuclear industry suppliers in Germany lost a major market. Now, they are desperate to make amends with Türkiye. Yet, the times have changed. The East nowadays capitalizes on the mistakes the West makes, and then moves on.
For example, the Globalist controlled regime in Germany elected not to ship crucial nuclear parts to Türkiye. China quickly stepped in and filled the vacuum. In turn, Türkiye told Germany that it no longer needed any nuclear imports from Germany.
Without exports, Germany cannot keep down production costs. That means, the nuclear industry in Western Europe will no longer be competitive. With this trend, over time, the West may even become dependent on the East of all things nuclear.
Aircrafts to Commercial Airplanes
The German example on nuclear energy is not an isolated problem. Today, the West dominates manufacturing in the commercial airplanes market. However, the competition is around the corner. It will not take long to feel the heat.
One reason for that is the “political” mistakes of the Globalists. For example, the US Senators went against the advice of the 45th President Trump. They imposed sanctions against Türkiye: Four years later, the US cannot sell F-35s anymore.
Turkiye, for example, in the meantime, figured how to build a better F-35 of its own. Building a fifth generation combat aircraft also comes with side benefits. It should be no surprise if Türkiye were to come with its own commercial airplanes very soon.
In summary, the 47th president must first fix the problems of the 46th president. They are so wide ranging from wars to economy; it must be difficult where to start.
More Urgency: The 47th Must Fix
Unfortunately, the 47th President will face additional and fundamental problems to deal with for years to come. Four Globalist US presidents did too much damage.
First, they lost the Middle East. Today, Libya is a state like an extension of Türkiye deep into Africa. Iraq and Syria are no man’s land for the US and the West.
Losing Türkiye next is like committing suicide to the supremacy of the US in the world. Nowadays disgruntled Türkiye has been a staunch ally of the US.
It is the only power in the equation for a balance of power to take place in the Middle East and Europe. Without either one of them, the US cannot remain a superpower.
