China's Acceleration and the Unipolar Moment's Definitive End
At 1:47:20 · chapter starts 1:45:50
Weichert delivers his final assessment: the transition from US global dominance to a multipolar world centered on China has been dramatically accelerated by the Iran war. The theory circulating in Trump's orbit — that targeting Iran (a key Chinese energy supplier) was strategic 5D chess — collapses on contact with reality. China was prepared. It used its 1.4-billion-barrel SPR as a proof-of-concept for surviving the next move: a US attempt to cut off the Strait of Malacca. Rather than bringing China to its knees, the US accelerated China's strategic independence. Charles Krauthammer's beloved unipolar moment is definitively over, Pat Buchanan is proven right, and the next chapter is a multipolar world in which the US is one significant power among several rather than the unchallenged hegemon. Tucker and Weichert close with cautious hope that the administration has genuinely learned from this — but both acknowledge the internal resistance from the neoconservative faction remains formidable.
