If only Trump was the biggest problem America faces..

Or maybe if the $40 Trillion foreign debt was the biggest worry for the average American. But its not. Americas biggest problem is that China is just plain doing it better.. China, learned faster and saw tomorrow clearer. Then took a leaf out of Japans book and watched America form its wagons in a circle and hide.. Now lets see what the Indians do ...

China is winning, not with bombs and rockets but cheap cars and clothes and making a rather handsome profit on the process

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow exactly Trumps behaviour has made every country an adversary of the USA economically and once done they will not go back. He has the country spiralling down.

Xi Jinping has offered Trump free Chinese language lesson for all Americans.

Surely it will help them in the future

@ShenaniganFoodie In principle an excellent idea. But will they do any better in Mandarin than they do in English??😷

China is second only to the USA in world power; aims to be Number One... and I am afraid is on course to succeed.

Perhaps not for a few years, even decades, yet; but China has a ruthless single-party system run by very skilled people, and unlike the USA can plan years ahead.

The People's Rebublic of China also has a very large and expanding military arm, but though she not be afraid to fight, would prefer to take over in non-violent, non-destructive ways. As she is doing.

The Age of the Empire is not dead; but very different from in the past.

Trumpism is just the culmination of Late Stage Capitalism in America. MAGA is dead, but the Republicans are going to continue being fascist. We also have Tankies taking over the DSA, so I don't have much hope for America going forward.

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@BohoBabe Yes. Trump and the Fascist backing propping him up are common symptoms of an empire in collapse. It started with overspending to maintain control, which leads to debasing the currency and its all downhill from there. The question being how far will it fall even it reaches rock bottom. The British Empire had a very soft landing..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman The British Empire was an interesting case because, despite being on the winning side of WWII, the war was so costly that the empire wasn't able to hold on to its overseas territories anymore. So even if America eventually beats Iran, we might end up like the UK, unable to maintain power on a global scale anymore. Though considering Trump lost to Iran over 30 times, I don't think America suddenly going to win a war.

@BohoBabe We agree. The only war America is fitted out to win is a nuclear war that will send the world into a nuclear winter, even if it doesnt wipe out humanity..😷

China even turned down the wildfires. It's a politics thing. Americans are center and right wing, but anti leftist. This is victory for them.
