The 1990s happened. And a lot happened in the last quarter century, so you should update yor world model (preferably without resorting to MSM propaganda).

As to why why Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are sticking together, it is because they they don't want to hang separately.

As to why the West has lost its proxy war against a petty regional player, that is something for the history books.

Hospitality and healthcare occupations are doing badly in much of the Western World. Construction is highly seasonal, and arguably much of it is currently driven by an investment bubble rather than organic demand which could pop, ending in a long winter. Skilled trades, maybe, but you need a healthy job market so that people can afford these.

While these occupations are safe from AI, for time being, they're not safe per se.

“So, we have finally articulated our theory about the nature of the “logic” sought by Axel, and its supporting evidence,” says Papadimitriou, who is also a member of the Data Science Institute. “Now comes the hard part, will neuroscientists take our theory seriously and try to find evidence that something like it takes place in the brain, or that it does not?”

So don't get too excited yet.
