Empires in their final stage of destruction always
behave in desperate ways. The USA is no exception. The only exception is
that it is resorting to 'crash and burn' tactics. To be more precise
the USA is adopting a 'scorched earth' policy. It is starting wars and
conflicts around the world, hoping to delay its demise.
There is
no turning back for the USA. It has gone too far leveraging on its US$
hegemony and unrestrained printing of toilet papers and weaponizing the
US$.
There is no possible way of turning back on its massive
debts that it now can never hope to repay. There is now a big problem
with trying to sell its debts to countries like China and Japan, the
latter facing its own battle of economic survival.
The war in
Ukraine is not working out for the USA and NATO, with the new NATO chief
still trying to flog a dying horse by telling the world that Kyiv must
prevail. He talks as if that is as simple as taking candy from a kid. He
sounds as dumb as his predecessor.
Collapse of the US$ hegemony
can be fast or gradual, but there is no way of preventing it.
De-dollarization is gaining momentum and any attempt to sabotage it,
using more sanctions or seizing of assets, will lead to a faster
collapse of the US$ hegemony. Trump, if elected wants to target
countries joining de-dollarization. That will really end the USA, with
him as the 47th President. Trump was prophesied to be the 45th and last
President of the USA. That did not happen but may yet happen as the
47th, with all his rhetoric and grandstanding.
As with all the
miscalculations, raising tariffs to the sky is not going to do any good
to the USA. It is cutting the nose to spite the face. Neither will a
tech war against China going to work out well. The USA has to ask the
pertinent question of who controls all the raw materials and supply
chains in the tech industry and who provides the main market for such
stuff like chips, smartphones and EVs.

While the USA is resorting to wars to preserve its US$ hegemony, China and Russia are resorting to de-dollarization to bring down the US$ hegemony.
Russia had no alternative except war against Ukraine to preserve its sovereignty, which would otherwise be threatened by Ukraine joining NATO. It was the USA and NATO giving no choice for Putin.
But the main weapon that Russia and China are using to bring down the US$ hegemony is still resorting to de-dollarization, not war. There have been so many provocations across the Taiwan Straits for China to take the bait for an attack on Taiwan. Similarly, provocations are ongoing in the South China Sea to lure China into a war that the USA is cultivating.
Taiwanese have now discovered that the USA had sold them defective weapons. They should look closer for any clues of the USA eavesdropping on them with the equipment they bought from the USA, LOL. The USA via the CIA had even sold decoding machines to the Europeans with backdoors to eavesdrop on their conversations decades ago. The USA even spied on Angela Merkel and Macron, their closest allies in Europe. What is Taiwan to them? Just cannon fodder.
The good weapons probably go to Israel, Even Ukraine is not on top of the pecking order, not to talk about Taiwan.
