      More like an oligarchy. It ain’t even left vs right no more. It’s the super wealthy vs everybody else

      I hope people read this, beyond the headline. It’s really a cogently argued and insightful article.

      The USA is being looted by the elites. They are literally running it into the ground. For all this hype about how much we have to defeat China it seems like these guys already gave up, get the scraps while you can.

      Stephen Walt in 2017:

      Has Trump Become a Realist?
      America finally has a president who grasps the basic logic of offshore balancing in the Middle East.

      https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/04/17/has-trump-become-a-realist/
      The back part of the article is paywalled but starts out:

      >There’s reason to think Donald Trump is becoming a closet realist or even — dare I say it? — an offshore balancer.

      >Admittedly, it’s hard to credit him with having a coherent strategy of any kind, given the recurring contradictions in what he says and his penchant for reversing course without warning or explanation. But in the Middle East, at least, one could argue that Trump is trying — in his own ill-informed, impulsive, and erratic way — to return to the strategy of offshore balancing that the United States pursued more or less successfully in this region from 1945 to 1992.

      The typical leftists with Trump derangement syndrome got it right from the start and the academics and pundit brains were totally, completely wrong. In fact the worse the derangement syndrome was, the more accurate the predictions. Curious disease indeed.

      The US is trying to secure US hegemony for the next 100 years. It’s no mistake that the US is targeting Venezuela, Iran, and then Greenland and Canada in the near future. With those four countries, the US will have a near monopoly on oil, gas, arctic shipping routes, arctic mineral exploration, and all of the fresh water in the Great Lakes. Having these resources lets the US ride out climate-related societal collapse (breadbasket failures, wet-bulb temperature events etc) when we start seeing +3°C by the 2040s, at which point other countries will start to fail while the US remains strong.

      the same author wrote „Another Trump Presidency Won’t Much Change U.S. Foreign Policy – The world’s fears are mostly exaggerated.“ in 2024

      Arguably the US since our existence has focused more on creating wealth than quality of life. The struggle continues.

      The United States is run by robber barons. I just wish its citizens would remember how they are to be tamed and have the courage to follow through with it.

      Oh could it be because a pedophilic moron leads the country? Could it be they actively wage a war on average American citizens to line their own pockets? Could it be because we don’t matter to them at all? The answer is yes but tune in tomorrow to hear how our own media points the blame at us, people trying to survive.

      Correction: it has always been a rogue state in the context of global politics after WW2.

    22. Most-Appointment-756 on

      wouldn’t that be a rogue nation , not a rogue state ? (since it consists of states)

    24. sfo24-1026-Xmas-7777 on

      It has always been. It’s in the core of the States for being rogue and always hidden there till these days there is nothing to restrict it from being released. The underlying logic of American society is rouge.

    25. No-Novel-4488 on

      The USA has ALWAYS been a rogue state catering to the interests of Shits-rael. It’s abysmal how the citizens of America have normalised it and turned a blind eye to this.

      The wierdest part is how much influence the „rabble“ have on the government. 

      For example – putting ICE into airports. 

      Why was it done? What is the benefit? 

      It was done because some woman called in on a right wing podcast and said, „we should put ICE into airports and watch the liberals squeal“. 

      It got picked up by FOX News and then Trump heard it .. and it became policy. 

      The mad rabble are dictating policy … it’s not even Fascism .. it’s just a sadistic fringe minority + Christian nuts + White supremacists influencing the Trump / MAGA policy. 

      If it’s pure profit, sure it makes sense .. but these are not people with something to gain .. these are people with NOTHING TO LOSE. 

      Crazy crazy crazy time for USA.
