Is This The Beginning of The End of The American Empire?

[JaxxBKK]

US war machine, Congress with armed services in their states, Deep State, Defense contractors, lawyer filth. CIA DIA, etc. Unstoppable. I hope the world understands.

 

 

Israel is a festering sore on the hind of the ME. Always has been. There's unfortunately no stopping or controlling the beast. Pols are bought and presidents are killed. Unstoppable.

The bill in congress now DOES cut Medicare. 4 percent every year. Also MASSIVE CUTS to Medicaid which is for the poorest Americans including poor children. With Maga cruelty is the point.

As far as SS is concerned, not trying to pass any funding reform measures means it WILL be massively cut automatically for all in as early as 5 years. So why isn't such reform in Trump's big ugly help the billionaires bill? Because he's happy to see SS trashed over time. 

I have yet to see any conservative movement anywhere in the world that does not try to tear down public health systems by stealth. It's in their DNA.

 

When they try it in Australia, they get a bloody nose from voters. In the new world of Trumponomics, it was more like they got hit by a truck.

What a big mistake starting this thread.

 

I watched more of the video and he's just another Trump basher distorting reality. 

 

My apologies.

This video just came into my feeds on Youtube.

Guy seems smart and non-partisan. He's not even American, sounds Australian. 

 

He already mentions an interesting point. 

Why did Russia invade Ukraine to begin with? Because Putin knew the US would do nothing about it.

 

Then mentions Trump isn't the first president to start "wrecking" the system that the US has built since WW2.

 

Need to run some errands. Will watch the entire video later and comment. 

But if anyone else watches, pls share your comments. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This guy is Peter Hartcher, political editor and international editor of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

 

He is just a journalist, not an economist. Lots of people have said similar abut the end of general American domination for years now.

Surprise! Learn something every day. For all intents and purposes, the US is becoming the textbook definition of an empire. Only the courts are preventing a total autocratic empire but they can only do so much without the power of a military force backing them up.

 

1. an extensive group of states or countries under a single supreme authority, formerly especially an emperor or empress.

Maybe the people who consider it an Empire are slightly mis-informed.

Maybe the people who don't see it headed towards the textbook definition of an empire need to turn off Fox.
