If you're a regular reader here, you'll
recall that last week I wrote a series of blogs based, as usual, on
various articles that people sent me. The theme of those blogs was more
or less two-fold: we may be watching (1) the breakup of the Shanghai
accords and the so-called BRICS nations, along with the slow-down and
possible end to China's One Belt One Road initiative, and (2) the
emergence, possibly, of a new geopolitical reality that I called the
Quadruple Entente, consisting of the USA, India, Japan, and possibly
over the long term, Russia.
