Finally, the jig is up.
The US, the supposed globally unrivaled economic and military behemoth, is no more.
From its utter and irreversible failure to defeat the Taliban militia for the last 18 years in Afghanistan, to the Iraqi debacle, to its failure to remake the Mideast by employing terrorist proxies to destroy Syria, the US is a poster-child for military and strategic blunders that shall be studied by many nations’ military leaders and students for a long time to come.
The supposed ‘greatness’ of the US has been exposed as a hollow claim, driven by nothing more that absurdly nauseating propaganda and the most perverted of PR.
A profound weakness has been exposed at the core of the failed US experiment, and a powerful, cosmic truth has started to be glimpsed by the world that has for far too long suffered from the malign shadow of US malfeasance.
The weakness and the truth are the same, and this truth must be spoken loudly, and re-spoken from now on anywhere and everywhere at at all times: The US prospers only when other nations suffer.
All of US history is a testament to this hidden truth that too many have been blind to.
If anyone doubts this truth, then just look at Russia and China, or any other country which dares to withstand US abuse and subjugation.
Economic and technological successes of these countries have profoundly weakened the US and taken away a good dose of its power, wealth, and authority.
The best way to weaken the US is to succeed, and succeed in areas which are key.
The key areas of success which will cause the most damage to the US are in the economic, military, and technological spheres.
These three areas were once pillars of US domination. Today, with the advent of Russian military prowess and Chinese economic innovation, the US is faced with two rivals against which it is defenseless.
Russia, China, and certain other countries have surpassed the US in these three spheres, to the point that the US is no longer able to effectively compete, or offer anything better.
In frustration, and in its inability to catch up or successfully counter its adversaries moves and policies, the US has resorted to desperate antics to weaken its rivals through sanctions, tariffs, terrorism, extortion, and armed destabilization.
Those efforts have backfired, and have only strengthened the determinations-and arsenals-of US rivals.
The result has been even more off-the-wall knee-jerk US actions which will result in more problems for the beleaguered US establishment.
By daring to succeed in the key areas, US rivals have committed an act of sacrilege.
They dared to be equal to, and better than the US.
To the imperial US regimes, this is an unpardonable sin.
The greatest US fear is the fear of weakness. Looking weak throws the US establishment and many of the US citizenry into fits of rage. They will seek to exact revenge for their own weaknesses on anyone who dares to stick out from the crowd.
For the US will never tolerate anyone who is better than the US at anything . It does not matter whether the offender is a sworn US foe, or the most benevolent ally and vassal. Motive is also irrelevant. No one can be in any way, shape, or form better at anything than the US. This is very much an unspoken demand that the US expects from all of its vassals, pawns, and client states.
Countries like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea command such hatred and vitriol in US political and media circles not because they are an existential threat to the US or their vassal states, not because they want to ‘kill Americans,’ or terrorize America and anyone who stands with it.
No. The US hates these countries because they dare to be independent and sovereign, and because they defy the US with intelligent, clever, creative, well-thought out and effective solutions which nullify much of any, or all US economic, military, and strategic threats against their existence.
The US hates their steadfastness and ability to survive and thrive no matter how much misery the US flings at them.
Everyday that these countries survive and thrive is a slap in the face to the satanic US establishment which wants nothing less than to control the world for its own selfish purposes.
But the depravity and callousness of the US toward its perceived adversaries has reached such a low point, that the miseries the US throws their way have started to rebound on the US itself, and are now negatively affecting core US interests.
US attempts at destroying its adversaries have started to destroy the US, which is suffering form the ill-effects of its own deranged behavior more so than the former.
It is true that the US has no friends, only interests and clients. And this holds true today.
If anyone wants to see which countries are enslaved to the US and which are free of it, there is a very simple and clear way to check.
Countries which are US vassals, and which the US can bilk and exploit freely, are regularly treated by the US political establishment and MSM in a cute and friendly fashion. The leaders of such countries are invited to the white house, treated to news conferences with the president, patted on the head, and given all sorts of promises that will not be honored, either in whole or in part.
Countries that are truly free and sovereign are also quite free of US control and exploitation. These countries are treated with disdain on a daily basis by the US establishment and MSM. Such countries are ruled by ‘dictators,’ ‘sponsor terrorism,’ ‘violate human rights,’ are ‘undemocratic,’ ‘dangerous,’ and ‘backward.’
Some of these countries, the most sworn and dangerous of US ‘enemies,’ are not allowed to be visited by anyone with a US passport.
But no one has dared to ask, why? Why does a country that supposedly is a beacon of ‘democracy and freedom’ forbids its citizens to travel anywhere? A truly free and democratic country does not do this. Such policy is wholly antithetical to a democratic nation.
At worst, citizens can only be warned and advised against traveling to a country with which the US has no diplomatic relations, but not banned outright from traveling there, and threatened with fines and jail time. Such behavior is unacceptable, and not of a ‘democratic’ nation.
By employing such absurd and contradictory policies, the US regimes simply want to keep US citizens from seeing the truth.
Think of the PR nightmare of Lovecraftian proportions that would ensue for the US establishment, should the average US citizen be allowed to visit places like Iran, Cuba, and North Korea, and see that there are people there too who have families and want to live unmolested, and that no one there is automatically gunning for them, or wants to hack them up into bloody bits in the street as soon as they step off the plane.
The US establishment does not want Americans to interact with the citizens of ‘officially designated enemy’ countries for fear that Americans will learn the truth, the other side of the story, and begin to see that they have been fed lies by the US establishment, and that horrible acts of mass-scale murder and human rights violations have been committed in their names by their government for decades.
There would be hell to pay by the establishment should most Americans learn the facts of how the world really is, and what rotten part the US has played in it.
US actions in the world cannot, and will not succeed because they pursue immoral, illegal, and unethical ends. Nothing good can ever be built on rotten foundations.
And indeed, the foundations of the US-led order have been based on morally-questionable aims since 1945, and are now teetering toward collapse. Flinging more excrement of militarism, arrogance, bribery, threats, and false promises will not save it.
NATO, and all the other alliances the US has corralled nations into since WW2 are not going to save the US, and neither will they win any wars against a powerful adversary, which they have never fought. Nuclear weapons, and advanced ways of delivering them nullify these alliances existence.
The more NATO expands, the more unstable and unwieldy it becomes. It's like endlessly stacking blocks on top of each other. Eventually, the tower loses its stability and falls.
NATO is already too large to be effective. You cannot have so many countries, with varying degrees of national wealth and military ability ranging from decent to virtually non-existent, be able to become in sync when faced with fighting a real war. It won't work; especially with all the different languages that the so-called NATO ‘leadership’ has to contend with. It can’t be simple to manage such a morass at all.
If anyone cares to read a detailed, though allegorical description of how that would go down, read Umberto Eco's book "Baudolino", especially the part where all the different 'races' band together to fight their common enemy. The results of that alliance are startlingly pathetic and depressing.
Faced with failures and shortcomings that the US, with its 22 trillion-and-counting-national debt cannot correct, it tries to pretend that it is still on top, that it is still genuinely liked, rather than feared and loathed.
War is the only thing that can wipe out a lot of US debt and get the US out of its difficulties, at least temporarily. But the only worthy and profitable opponents have thousands of nuclear weapons and the means to hit the US, while the US has no proven and fool-proof ways of stopping them.
So war is not likely to be used as a method by the US to regain its former glory. Regime changes and economic strangulation is another way, but this has not worked, and will only have a limited effect without military action, which the US is afraid to take.
Those pathetic countries that have foolishly tethered themselves to the US also keep this game of pretend going for the sake of the survival of their own decrepit pro-US elites that managed them for 73+ years, but even they are starting to fall away here and there. The worst ones are the nations in E. Europe that seem to be cow-towing to the US, blindly without reservation. They shall suffer the worst in the end.
But the entire US history has been just a cynical and cruel game of pretend from the beginning; pretend freedom; pretend democracy; pretend equality; pretend human rights; pretend peace; pretend enemies; pretend victories; pretend exceptionalism, which is nothing but willful ignorance wrapped in a thick blanket of crass narcissism.
The US, for the first time in history, is vulnerable to annihilation. The US elites go to sleep every night knowing that they are targets without effective protection to speak of.
This situation can only be good for the world. The weaker and more defenseless the US is, the better the world shall be.
There is no turning back for the US. It cannot, and will not regain its former place on the world stage.
The US has only two choices left.
Cut its losses, end the empire, withdraw into itself, mind its own business and salvage whatever it still has left, or confront the world and be destroyed in the ashes.
Those are the only two choices it has. Nothing else will work.
