American influence is fast crumbling…

April 9, 2023 - 12:27

The entire West is in dangerous turmoil.

This fact is quite aside from former President Donald Trump this week having to submit to arrest and felonious charges in New York City and some 30 plus counts of criminality over a hush money payment to a porn star in to keep her quiet over a brief sex engagement.

The payment occurred as Trump was first running for President, which he won, and obviously he did not want his improprieties as a married man to sink his chances to become top U.S. dog, literally. However, it remains questionable whether the charges against him have enough merit to put him behind bars, and anyway the Democrats are going nuts over the prospect that Trump might get nominated by the Republicans because he or almost any Republican is likely to win the Presidency again. Why?

Because Biden is arguably the worst President in American history.

The Neocons’ stoking of the proxy war on Russia alone through Ukraine and through the Biden Administration worked, and it’s a disaster, but the war actually was planned and began in 2014 with the fall of Yanukovich, the democratically elected but pro-Russian Ukrainian leader. The Minsk accords between 2014 and for a few years were a false hope for Russia and Putin, who only sought Ukraine’s neutrality. False because while those accords, had they been enacted, would have totally obviated Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year. Even Germany’s Merkel said the Minsk agreements were designed to give Ukraine time to build up its armed forces with billions of U.S. dollars and weapons for a war provoked by the U.S. The fake accords gave some hope to Russia for peace for a while and thus Russia had NO plans to invade or take Ukrainian territory or wipe out Ukraine’s military. But they were a joke on Russia, and now the subterfuge has been backfiring.

It’s all quite amazing like the few times in history when such tremendous and fast changes underway now challenge the entire world with shifts of influence, and raises the specter of World War 3 at least. One must say “at least” because the U.S. provoked a war with a nuclear power, not some relatively helpless country like Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, or poor Afghanistan or prosperous but tiny Libya or Syria for examples. Behind it all is the U.S. determination to kill China’s emergence as a truly great power and its Belt and Road initiative while the U.S. economy sinks slowly on the back of $32 trillion in debt and many more billions in unfunded liabilities. The blizzard of sanctions on important countries like Iran, not to mention Russia, have also been instrumental in sparking the changes underway. The U.S. has bit off far more than it is capable of chewing and enraged a majority of the human population worldwide, if not yet in vassal states in Europe or in Apartheid Israel, which may be falling apart with Netanyahu and his far right colleagues.

But Iran’s leaders are quite aware of most of this.

What is interesting, if only by way of impressing on the world that not all notable Americans back what the Biden and his Neocon handlers have done, are people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of assassinated former President John F. Kennedy.

Robert Kennedy Jr., whose father was JFK’s attorney general, suffered his father's later assassination in 1968. He has made a name for himself of late in fully opposing the way the U.S. handled (and may have even created) the Covid 19 pandemic. He has felt the vaccines against the disease were ineffective and a means for pharmaceutic companies like Pfizer to make billions of dollars on a vaccine product that was actually as dangerous as Covid 19 itself. For his medical posture Robert Kennedy has been strongly maligned by the medical and political “establishment”. It’s worth presenting, however, what he recently wrote about U.S. deeds over years and the blowback it has created:

“The collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s new alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the Neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power. China has displaced the American Empire by deftly projecting, instead, economic power. Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world. The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the Neocon's short-lived “American Century.” The Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8.1 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughingstock of U.S. military power and moral authority, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as the global currency, cost millions of lives and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence.”

Even now far too many Americans don’t buy Kennedy’s views primarily because of U.S. and European mainstream media propaganda and wishful thinking. One must ask: How long will it take for a firm majority of Americans to realize he is correct?
