Not only is Uncle Sam being driven out of the rest of the world, the Empire is also in deep trouble at home. The travails of two geriatric men, and a lady of color reflect its problems.
American politicians never lose an opportunity to lecture others about the “ruled-based” global order. The US, however, follows no rules. The torture camp at Guantanamo Bay is reflective of American hypocrisy and gangsterism.
The Washington warlords are addicted to war and bloodshed. Their latest targets are Russia and China taking on both simultaneously. They have clearly lost their minds because if they had any sense they would have learned from their defeat in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen…
America is barging into Africa under the pretext of fighting terrorism. The US itself is the biggest supporter and promoter of terrorism. Uncle Sam’s true aim is to plunder Africa’s resources following in the footsteps of the equally greedy Europeans.
Americans are beginning to feel the heat of resistance in Iraq. This intensified especially after Iran’s strike at a Mossad base in the Kurdish city of Erbil on January 16. While the principal resistance group, Kataib Hizbullah has temporarily suspended operations, the resistance continues.
The West Asia region bristles with US military bases. It is not difficult to surmise who they are meant against. The illegitimate Arab regimes facilitate these bases to undermine the Islamic Republic.
The US-centric global order is collapsing. Countries are beginning to seek their own avenues to protect their interests. This is evident even in Europe that has traditionally been a thinly-disguised US colony.
BRICS as a bloc is not only expanding but is emerging as an alternative to the US-dominated global order. Most countries have suffered US bullying and are taking steps to break the shackles of dollar hegemony to help create a better world.
Nobody likes to be disliked. In fact, most people love to be loved, Americans more than anyone else. Yet American rulers are not only disliked worldwide but even the American people do not like them anymore. A Gallup survey found only 31% of Americans approve of their government.
Countries that once exercised dominance over global affairs find it difficult to adjust to the reality that they are no longer the top contender. This is what the US is currently going through: inability to admit that other powers have emerged to knock it off its stool.
The security of the Persian Gulf is the responsibility of regional states. Islamic Iran has consistently advocated this and has demanded that foreign forces should withdraw and let regional states determine its security.
America’s terminal decline is reflected in the manner in which ex-president Donald Trump is being entangled in legal cases about election fraud. Sure, America is a thoroughly corrupt state. Money talks. Every politician is in someone’s pocket. So, what is new about Trump?
The US proxy war in Ukraine against Russia and its deliberately provocative moves against China in Taiwan and the South China Sea have brought Russia and China closer to each other. The US only has itself to blame.
