Remember the saying - 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
The
USA wants to make more enemies so that it can continue to have forever
wars. And the main enemies of the USA are now closing ranks to take on
the USA. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are more than a handful for
the USA to deal with. Three of them are nuclear powers, with Iran
already on its way. The West including Israel had pushed Iran to change
its stance about not going nuclear due to religious constraints. Iran
does not lack the expertise to become a nuclear power. It is now
changing its stand and the West and Israel are worried.
Russia
and China were at one point engaged in a cold war, but the USA pushed
Russia towards a warming relationship with China. This can realistically
be said to be a blessing in disguise for both countries, now
co-operating on all fronts. It is becoming the biggest political blunder
and regret of the USA's inapt foreign policy. With all the so-called
foreign policy advisers and strategists at its disposal, how could the
USA be so wrong.
Russia is not Iraq or Syria that had been
trampled and destroyed for not following the dictates and succumbing to
the bullying of the USA. Russia is a nuclear power and will not just be
shoved aside at the whims and fancies of the USA. North Korea is smarter
than what the West made it out to be and it now refused to be bullied
with its nuclear power status, puny it may be. That is why Iran is so
eager to have the bomb to deter the bullying by the USA, Israel and the
West.

War is the USA's only economic savior, and the USA needs enemies. All the advantages that the USA held in the past after WW2 are gone or have been overtaken by others.
ReplyDeleteThe USA could not compete in manufacturing as it had been hollowed out due to greed. The USA no longer controls the oil trade in US$. The USA lost its geopolitical influence in Africa, South America, ASEAN and Central Asia. The USA lost its edge in space exploration, renewable energy, ship building, high tech innovations and soon will also lose its last legacy in semiconductors.
What the USA has left is a huge propaganda machine that everybody knows is generating nothing but fake news. But that setup has practically lost its last sliver of credibility. The war in Iraq exposed the extent of the propaganda that the USA can generate, and how dangerous it was to believe in it.
The USA's global military bases will not last if the US$ hegemony falls apart. And the US$ hegemony is about to be defanged when the de-dollarization movement picks up with the expansion of BRICS.
Slow and steady is how BRICS is dismantling the US$ hegemony.
