Last few grafs from his latest essay.
The new correlation of forces:
North Korea has become a full-fledged nuclear power with intercontinental ballistic missiles that can hit the USA. Russia’s armed forces are more imposing than they were two decades ago. China has swept past every rival power to the United States, while America’s allies are less powerful and less united behind it.
Meanwhile, America has run up a national debt larger than the entire U.S. economy. Its trade deficits are at record levels. Its borders are being overrun by migrants from all over the world. And its disposition to intervene, engage and fight for democracy has rarely been lower.
The global stress test of the last superpower is on, and it is not likely we will pass it with a grade as high as the one we had earned by the Cold War’s end.
PJ was right when he battled GHW Bush back in the day, and he's right now.
One could say he's right from the beginning.

He's right on a lot of things. But then so was Joseph McCarthy, who's been entirely vindicated.
McCarthy's problem was similar to Trump's: he didn't play by The Rules of the Establishment/Deep State. He did 'mean tweets' before tweets ever existed.
He called a spade a spade. That's why they STILL hate him.
