::::::When we talk about a rump state, ''What is a rump state?'' People will point to Serbia after the loss of its [[Kosovo]] province. But Poland is the rumpiest of rump states. It exceeds the UK since the UK lost its empire. It once was a Great Power stretching from the Baltic to Black Sea. It was, or considered itself, the leader of the Slavic world. Then it disappeared from the map for 125 years (this explains Eastern European, Polish, and Ukrainian anti-Semitism. They blamed Jewish immigration into the Pale of Settlement for the loss of power and destruction of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), So Poland historically has been Russia's chief rival as leader and chief protector of the Slavic world. To keep NATO alive now in the 21st century, the most extreme Polish [[Russophobe]]s have been recruited and have taken over guiding NATO policy.

My interest in a greying Europe has waned as they are "a museum" as John Mearsheimer says. Most of the off-wiki work that I do that is influential affects the English-speaking world. I am also considering learning Spanish and found [https://verbalicity.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-spanish/#:~:text=The%20bottom%20line,350%20hours%20of%20time%20spent. this great resource]. One of the organizations I work with would love for me to learn Spanish and it would open some doors for me. I like Spanish culture and I already have some Spanish lessons under my belt.
America is the best bet for a country that remains influential for some time. And Hispanics are a growing influence in the USA. The future of Asia is a wildcard because China is so influential in Asia. Xi Jinpin is dictator riding a tiger due to many things potentially growing wrong in China due to a graying population, an economic slowdown and some unrest. China lit the fuse of growing expectations which is a factor that can add rocket fuel to revolutions. If people's expectations are not met, they get angry and may revolt. But right now, most Chinese are nationalist and aren't anywhere near revolt. They may complain about lockdowns, etc. But they are not going to revolt.
