America's Foreign Bankruptcy...

The End of US Hegemony is obvious! The World Community is done being bullied and controlled by the Corporate Occupied Territory aka Washington, DC.

They realize the US Government is Bankrupt and living entirely on printed Phony Monopoly Money. Its Military is bloated and more expensive that the US cannot afford.

It’s bloated, gutted, and unable to recruit new Soldiers, Sailors Airmen and Marines. IT'S ’s EASY TO SEE WHY. They see pointless Wars for Oil, Wars of Aggression, Wars of Attrition and Wars of Subsidization fomented for Corporate Interests and incompetent Political Indentured Servants who Bureaucratically want Power. Those who traditionally join the Military are disgusted by the Woke Memes circulating through the Services. White Males, in particular, are now appalled at being actively discriminated against.

US Hegemony is ending Financially, Economically, and Militarily...

It’s obvious when you see that Biden and Harris, two utterly incompetent and ineffectual baffling Fools, are the nominal heads of the Government, not to mention all the degraded and psychologically damaged Reprobates in the Cabinet. The United States Government isn't respected anymore. How pathetic for the so called Most Powerful Nation in the World Community!

The US Hegemony of the last 100 years is done with. The US will leave a vacuum that'll be filled by other Forces. The US Government is the biggest danger to the World. By the US Government’s sticking its nose in everyone’s Business, it promoted havoc and chaos. Its 800+ Bases around the World are obvious provocations. The Carrier Groups wandering around are Sitting Ducks with today’s Technology.

US Military Spending is Corporate Welfare for the 5 “Defense” Corporations, building Weapons suited for fighting the last Wars for Oil. For instance, a Missile Frigate or destroyer guarding a Carrier might carry 100 vertically-launched Anti-Aircraft Missiles at $2 Million each. Each Missile might succeed in shooting down a $10,000 Drone. But what happens when the Enemy launches 200 Drones at once? The chances are the US loses a $2 Billion Destroyer, if not a Carrier.

The United States Government is finding that they’re not only disliked, hated, but disrespected by Sovereign Countries and Foreign Citizenry. They’re nothing more than a Paper Tiger, Or the Wizard of Oz. When they lose the Fear Factor, it’s Ballgame OVER!

We are moving to a multi-polar world as the US most is in relative decline. It is still the most powerful country in the world and if (when) China overtakes it, it will remain a major power.

I'm a critic of US foreign policy and it's impacts However, they are not the majority reason why the US has declined. It's about demographics and technology. China has about four times America's population and the technological gap between the first and third world has declined massively so population advantage counts for more than it did. Most of the world's population is in Asia and what we call the west punched above it's weight for too long.

The West, mostly Europe's colonial powers, maintained control, and kept the rest of the work uneducated and exploited, through WWII. Churchill and to a point France, tried to pick up where they left off, and despite making a brutal effort, they failed.

The US took advantage of its post WWII surge, to dominate militarily (mostly without the use of military power, with some notable exceptions), and economically. But people around the world got educated. China is a prime good example. The Soviet Union is a prime example of how not to do it.

Pre Xi, I thought China was on a fast trajectory to meet and surpass the US in all areas, driven by technology.

Post Xi, I no longer believe this is the case. When I look around me, literally, it's clear why. Since Xi took office, the gain in Chinese technology brain drain has increased multiple folds. Unless China pivots politically, it will turn into a repeat of the Soviet experience. So yes, China's skyrocketed in technology. Problem is that anybody who was anybody in Chinese technology, pre Xi, now works for a company near my zip code, or within 1000 miles of it.

@Northwest I didn't know about the brain drain. However, they have a lot of people and a lot of them also get educated in the west before they go back.

On us foreign policy: There have been many wars over the years and many more governments overthrown.

You were correct to bring up British and french imperialism and that was not any better.

That's what I meant by what I said here:

[quote]with some notable exceptions[/quote]

We went overboard in the 1960s and 1970s. A wiseman man once said, that if your country does not have a communist party, make one up, and money from the US will start flowing.

This is the cold war insanity. I hope we outgrew it.

The Chinese brain drain is massive. I realize they're minting more engineers, but we're hiring them as fast as they can make them. China is also now suffering from a population decline.

My point was that Xi's policies, reversed the progress. 20 years ago, I was spending more time on our China's labs work, now it's not worth my time. If you go into the BC area in Canada as well.

Like I said, a few years ago, I would have guessed that by now China would have overtaken us. The Russian brain drain is also massive.

There may be a happy medium between the US system of extravagance, and the China/Russia self-destruction (more Russia than China), but we're not there yet. I just hope the fuck Trump is not elected.

The US can easily kill over 1 Billion Chinese in less than 15 minutes. They should never, ever, forget that.
