Looking at this picture, I think I understand how the world is changing: It portrays the difference between a society on the rise, and in contrast, a society in decline. The Tiangong Space Station (China) is in perfect order, while the ISS is a jumble of cables, a sign of decadence.

In Spanish the word Gulf is "Gólfo". But it has a double meaning: It not only refers to a body of water, it also refers to a person who is dishonest, shameless, a grifter and thief. I guess it is easy to say who the "Gólfo de América" really is... A lousy orange criminal...
