.. The Global Decline of American Power ..

Our MAGA president and his political allies are demolishing the
structures of America's global power with an ahistorical
efficiency that few declining "great powers" have ever matched ..
The war in Iraq (2003-2011) .. more than $4 trillion .. Now the
Trump administration has launched another expensive war ..
These funds must come from an American economy that now produces
roughly 17% of global manufacturing output (compared to America's
45% in the early 1950s .. and such expenditures will quickly
expand an American national debt .. The impulsive, authoritarian
instincts .. have carried the United States into an economic and
military disaster ..

The US president drastically underestimated his Iranian opponents.
How could that happen .. The answer is probably that Trump is such
an .. white supremacist thug, it left him with no capacity to
recognise the competence possessed by Tehran .. His comments about
Iran's leaders have been straight out of decades-old anti-Iranian
propaganda .. US and Israeli politicians abuse these fictions as a
means of gaining support for war crimes ..

US and Britain represent a dying order with no capacity to learn ..
Yet Western ruling classes retain a remarkable lack of willingness
to learn from what emerging nations do right ..

In the case of England .. wages have been stagnant for over 15
years as basic services decline .. making the majority worse off.
What used to be world class public services now barely function. You
wait months for an appointment in underfunded health services, then
miss it because the dysfunctional privatised postal service couldn't
tell you in time. Meanwhile, police throw people into the back of
vans for holding up a sign, or posting an unauthorised tweet ..

The Kill Line can be seen in US streets rammed with people
struggling against substance abuse, openly injecting and dying in
full view of an indifferent ruling class. This too is the
inevitable consequence of a society in which democracy has been worn
down to the nub. A place where the priorities of the rich leave the
majority to suffer. A place where in effect, a tiny number of people
dictate policy and the views of most Americans are ignored ..

The so-called democracies have allowed oligarchic parasites to feast
on their body politic for so long, all that remains is a husk. It
shuffles feebly on in a zombified form that wears its mangled
democracy as a kind of hideous mask, concealing the vile reality
beneath - that of a brutish creature lurching between
authoritarianism at home and imperial violence abroad .. Their
citizens are no longer likely to enjoy a good quality of life ..

The wreckage at home and the wreckage abroad may differ in form, but
they are two sides of the same coin. Both are the result of a
completely unrestrained capitalism allowing a handful of reckless
fuckwits to accumulate the wealth and power to determine the fate of
billions ..

These radical left from the English island also have certain vision.

.. The world witnesses accelerated US decline ..

The war in West Asia will accelerate US decline and rise of China.
It will force Europe to kick the habit of holding on to Uncle Sam's
coat-tails, and make it grow up fast ..

Pax Americana lies as part of the rubble in Gaza and Tehran .. West
Asia will change. Dubai .. can't regain its status as a refuge for
the world's billionaires .. Saudi dreams for its new city in the
desert now have moved farther away from reality .. The Gulf
monarchies are not stable monoliths, and can well unravel ..

The war has diluted inclination of oil and gas majors of the Persian
Gulf to trade their fuels in dollars .. What India would get is
escape from dollar hegemony, and dollar and secondary sanctions ..

Yet when the illusion begins to fray .. moral defeat arrives with
quiet inevitability. The once-mighty are compelled to confront
their limitations, and what was once feared as unassailable power
reveals itself as fragile and contingent. Such a moment has lately
overtaken the United States of America .. America's longstanding
partners in Europe .. made it unmistakably clear that they would
neither endorse nor participate in .. The refusal was .. declared
with firm and public resolve .. For the first time in recent memory,
the United States found itself diplomatically isolated ..

Iran conducted itself with notable composure and strategic resolve.
It confronted both Israel and its powerful patron .. engaging in a
measured yet determined defence that earned it a considerable
measure of moral authority in the eyes of many observers .. The
spectacle of an isolated superpower .. America .. now appears
diminished in stature, its actions viewed .. as the frustrations of
a power struggling to adapt ..

The American Dream Is Dead .. Americans Are Leaving the U.S. ..

Believing that if you work hard its bound to lead to financial
success and happiness .. is so easy to daydream about or to
think you can attain through positive thinking .. the optimism
has been an American mainstay for decades .. It hasn't evolved
to survive into the 21st century .. In fact, the US is
experiencing a historic decline in net international migration
(a statistic unseen since the Great Depression), with census
data showing that the large drop from 2024 to 2026 isn't just
due to a decrease in immigration but also to an increase in
emigration. Multiple countries across Europe .. are reporting
that American expat populations have doubled over the last year ..
