The USA wants to control the world, but many things are beyond its control already. The sale of USA Treasuries failed to garner the support of the rest of the world in an attempt by the USA to fund its spending spree. The US$ has depreciated substantially over the past couple of months and is beyond the control of the USA as well. Why would foreign funds want to invest in treasuries when the fall in the value of the US$ fails to cover the returns?
Rare earth minerals are in the hands of China, so making weapons for war is not up to the USA to dictate. Rare earth is China's trump card, with Trump having lost his cards to China already. Of course, Trump still has his US$5 million USA visa card to play around with very rich individuals around the world.
Therefore, two important aspects to enable the USA to exert control are already beyond its control. The gloating about manufacturing returning to the USA is at best a mirage, with even true-blue USA entities moving investments out of the USA due to escalating raw materials and labor costs arising from the tariffs on things like aluminum and steel. Business leaders think much faster and further ahead than those sitting in the White House.
We have not yet seen the shit hitting the fan yet with the real onset of the collateral damage arising from the tariff war. Next couple of months will be interesting to watch. By then, the USA may even lose it grip trying to control its domestic problems as a result of the tariff war.
Internally, the USA already lost control over its homelessness problem. Clearing the streets just shifted the problem elsewhere, with housing rental cost prohibitive to street dwellers who had been used to paying nothing in rent and utilities.
Internally, the USA already lost control over its drug problem as well not knowing how to deal with it and trying to blame China. If China was supplying those drugs, why aren't the Chinese people being drugged as well? China learnt a very important lesson from the Opium War and Chinese people are not going to let another opium war weaken their soul and destroy the country like in the past.

Not only that, but Trump has painted himself orange in the face for whatever reasons, to cover something.
The USA is obviously very unhappy with India now, attacking it from all angles. Modi is running to Russia and China for cover.
Scott Bessent, the delusionist, accused India now of profiteering from Russian oil, buying it cheap and selling it to make lots of money. The same cheap Russian oil is now being sold to the EU for big profit by India, which the USA is obviously deeply jealous. Profiteering is another new mantra being demonized by the USA. What is wrong when there is a willing seller and a willing buyer? Did India or China put a gun to the heads of EU leaders forcing them to buy Russian oil via India and China? Why is the USA unhappy with other people's business?
What was Scott Bessent doing while he was doing his hedge fund business for George Soros? Was he profiteering by subverting other countries' currencies to make money for Soros. Maybe he can't remember or conveniently forgetting that India was just doing what he did as a hedge fund manager, making money just like him. How could what one is doing what he did before is something that others cannot do?
Scott Bessent also forgot that some Western high-end owners of luxury goods chain, those selling handbags for example, are ripping buyers off, buying bags made cheaply in China and marking up the prices dozens of times, selling them worldwide. That is not profiteering? Why didn't he say anything when the lid was blown a couple of months ago?
Now the honeymoon with India is tentatively over, and the attacks are getting fast and furious. As they say, a drowning man will clutch at a straw to save himself. Any accusation is now fair play against India by the USA. All doggies should see what is happening with India and learn a lesson.
