@ishaantharoor @MattZeitlin Fwiw this is also my sense. Constitutional monarchy renders electeds as mere bureaucrats rather than as embodiments of the state. And agree with Matt that UK media and political elites can be (but aren’t always) clubby in ways that surpass even DC standards. — PolitiTweet.org

One gargantuan problem with the theory that China will displace the USA: The US has been free to project power globally because it is in many ways an island nation, whereas China is surrounded by several major-power competitors. Four of its neighbors are nuclear powers. — PolitiTweet.org
