USA - An Empire in decline, all things falling apart

When an empire is in decline, whatever will go wrong will go wrong. The decline of the American Empire is so obvious that no one can miss it. The Americans knew it and are seeing it for themselves how they are falling behind from its glorious days after WW2. All the signs are there, from doing all the wrong things, like fighting wars, making enemies instead of building a strong economy and improving the well being of the American people, like having a string of mediocre leaders and getting worse with every new president till this pathetic state when the most important job of the American Empire, POTUS, is being contested by a conman aka a liar aka a psychopath versus another that has nothing up inside his head, a dunce, as conman Trump called him. And no American is standing up to dispute this claim. They have to live with either of the clowns as their leader.

And then comes Covid19, a tiny invisible virus that should prove elementary to the sophisticated and well trained medical and scientific professionals in America, but proven too daunting a task to overcome. It is not that the Americans were incapable to rise up to the challenge. But at a time when it is in decline, the whole American government machinery is hijacked by a clown who refused to deal with the problem and forbid others, the medical and scientific experts, from doing the right thing. And the number of infections and death toll in America are not funny, the highest in the world, in the millions and climbing.

Covid19 is turning the American Empire into a circus with its POTUS the dominant clown surrounded by many smaller clowns. This is not all. The most advanced country in science and technology, in medicine, with hundreds of biological labs studying viruses, could not come up with a vaccine to treat this Covid19. And its arch rival China, a country that actually joined the international community as a full fledged member, a very backward country 40 years ago, is now taking the lead in developing the vaccines for this pandemic. Out of the handful of contenders in the forefront of this race to produce an effective vaccine, 4 are from China. 

And to make things worse, all the high hopes of America, like their big white hopes, are falling by the waysides one by one. AstraZeneca working with renowned Oxford University was the first to hit a snag. Then came Johnson and Johnson and quickly followed by Eli Lilly, all facing problems with their final stage trials. At the same time, the trials of Chinese vaccines continue smoothly and are at the last days of successful completion and ready for mass production. Keep the fingers crossed that evil men and women will not fake a few problems to throw in the spanner into these trials. A reminder to the evil men and women that the whole world is waiting for this vaccine and any attempt to mess them up by unscrupulous means is cruel, unethical and evil to the core. It is a matter of life and death, it is about economic recovery of the whole world.

Yes, when an empire is in decline, everything will go wrong. The Americans are going to face a lot of unforeseen problems in the development of the vaccine which under normal circumstances would be chicken feat to the world's most advanced nation. The mandate of heaven has departed from America.  God has traveled to the East. The new hope is in the East. The sun is setting in the West.

Adios Pax Americana.

After 3 Nov, the fall of the American Empire will gather more speed as either of the contenders for the position of POTUS is just too inept for the job. Their intellect or lack of intellect is public knowledge. Not a state secret. And the American people know it but could not do anything about it.  It is between the devil and the deep blue sea. What a choice, between a donkey and an ass...to be POTUS!

What hope is there for the American Empire? How to make America Great Again? A hand when the best card is a Trump card.
