The democratic system now needs all the 'compulsive liars' to hype up its fake benefits. But the 'compulsive liars' can no longer hide the truth about China, cannot engage in open competition with China and needs all the help and assistance of the doggies to contain China.
The USA has to rope in the Anglo-Saxon Whites of Europe to support its agenda, using threats and fear mongering to force allies and cronies to support its interest in order to fight its battle against China and BRICS. In the light of all this, how great really is the USA despite all the gloating about its greatness.
The USA needs the full support of NATO to fight Russia, afraid to go at Russia alone and using Europeans as sacrificial lambs to carry out its agenda. Perhaps it has this latent fear of facing another Vietnam or Afghanistan and has to outsource its fear of another defeat to the Europeans.
