U.S. empire is now falling apart.

Though the U.S. economy seems to be doing well now, via extracting manufacturing jobs from the EU by forcing up energy-costs there (such as by blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, sanctioning firms that trade with Russia — which was by far the lowest-price energy-source for European countries — etc.) and by otherwise encouraging those European employers to manufacture in America, where the energy-prices have thus become much lower than they now are in Europe; all of this harm that the U.S. has thus done to European economies incentivizes EU countries to end their being U.S. colonies (‘allies’), and to become more associated with EurAsia, and less with America’s anti-Russian military alliance, NATO. Thus, the ties that are binding the U.S. empire together across the Atlantic, are actually becoming weaker, even as the U.S. Government and its NATO expand into the Asia-Pacific region so as to become a military alliance against China too.

keeping European countries down, which is actually being done. So: increasingly, in order for the U.S. Government to remain #1 as the world’s most powerful, it must treat even the other members of its own NATO military alliance as being nations that are to be exploited instead of served, since they too are “dispensable.” Any idea of the empire’s being a two-way street is increasingly discordant with the existent realities. (In fact, this trend of America’s draining Europe so as to prop itself up has been in place ever since at least 1998.)

The idea the US and its colonies are "democracies" is a lie. The data that the US isn't even remotely a democracy is especially conclusive.

$1.5 trillion annually for its military). All of these weapons are useless for any constructive purpose. Their only usefulness is to destroy people outside the U.S. — and a lot of this immense public expense is titled as being “foreign aid,” so as to sell it to the American people in order to get the public to be willing to fund it in the taxes they pay. A con-game inevitably has an end, and it’s very sudden. This one will be no exception. The decline might be gradual at various times, but the vast majority of this decline will happen in that ultimate, final, and shocking, collapse. In this sense, it’s like any other Ponzi scheme, and the only question about it is, then: who will be holding the bag of ashes at its end.

24 February 1990, to instruct the heads-of-state of its colonies — first, West Germany, and then France, and then the others — that though the Cold War would soon be ending on the Soviet side, it must secretly continue on the U.S. side until Russia itself will become captured by America; and, so, NATO continued on, as being now America’s anti-Russian military alliance (even though Russia’s communism and Warsaw Pact were gone). And, ever since Truman made that decision in 1945, the U.S. Government’s top nation it targeted to turn against Russia has been Ukraine, because it’s by far the closest of all nations (barely 300 miles) to Russia’s central command in The Kremlin. Finally, in a coup by Obama that was hidden behind anti-corruption demonstrations in Ukraine in 2014, the U.S. Government achieved that decades-long objective. All that was needed once Ukraine became controlled from Washington DC was to get Ukraine installed into NATO so that the U.S. could then get those nuclear missiles positioned right on Ukraine’s border only about 300 miles away from The Kremlin, for a checkmate to capture Russia.

this one) Brzezinski gave this reason:

Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire. Russia without Ukraine can still strive for imperial status, but it would then become a predominantly Asian imperial state, more likely to be drawn into debilitating conflicts with aroused Central Asians, who would then be resentful of the loss of their recent independence and would be supported by their fellow Islamic states to the south. China would also be likely to oppose any restoration of Russian domination over Central Asia, given its increasing interest in the newly independent states there. However, if Moscow regains control over Ukraine, with its 52 million people and major resources as well as its access to the Black Sea, Russia automatically again regains the wherewithal to become a powerful imperial state, spanning Europe and Asia. Ukraine's loss of independence would have immediate consequences for Central Europe, transforming Poland into the geopolitical pivot on the eastern frontier of a united Europe.

If he was stupid enough to believe that that’s why Ukraine has, ever since 1945, been the U.S. Government’s main nation to add to its military alliance against Russia, then he’s even dumber than his readers are, but, otherwise, he might simply have thought that they’re dumb enough to read that without laughing at it. (His calling “Ukraine a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard” is especially a howler, since the U.S. government had been trying ever since 1945 to do this.)

Soros billboard in Hungary, where he is widely seen as a malignancy.

2 June 1994, the CIA-created Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), but started, on 4 September 2023, divesting himself of it. So, during almost the entirety of the period since the Soviet Union’s, and communism’s, and the Warsaw Pact’s, termination in 1991, when the anti-‘communist’ excuse for America’s imperialism had essentially ended, its colonies have proceeded onward with their ‘democracies’ (such as the post-coup government in Ukraine is called) being opposed to their economic competitors as being ‘autocracies’, such as Russia and China. But those ‘autocracies’ have actually been performing far better than those ‘democracies’ in economic performance.

scientific data that the U.S. isn’t even remotely a democracy are especially conclusive.
