PETER MAN—America’s power is based on its military supremacy which enforces the use of the US dollar for the purchase of essential resources and technologies, which allows America to create as much of the US dollars as it likes, which makes it even stronger in technology and trade, which makes its military even more powerful, which allows the creation of more US dollars to build more awesome weapons, which increases economic activities and GDP in America while creating inflation for the world, which causes those countries and peoples who cannot defend themselves to meekly say uncle, while the poor and jobless Americans swallow the lie that other countries are to be blamed.
CHINESE WAY OF LIFE

ERIC ZUESSE—On February 1st, the New York Times bannered “U.S. Has Far Higher Covid Death Rate Than Other Wealthy Countries”, and actually called the public’s attention to America’s scandalously bad performance against covid, but America’s declining life-expectancies (average annual longevities) had begun to be reported in the year 2014, which was six years prior to the start of the epidemic, and it has continued to decline every year since then. America’s aristocrats control the privatized American ‘health-care’ (which are actually only sickness-care) industries; and, so, this has long been a major engine of America’s extreme wealth-inequality: profiting from sicknesses and deaths runs counter to ANY democracy’s policies.

KIM PETERSEN—American ideology is predicated on its chosenness, its exceptionalism, its having a manifest destiny, being the indispensable nation, and being the leader of the free world. (p 120-131) Being the leader, it has the right to decree what is right or wrong and to intervene at its choosing. Writes Urio, “the U.S. tendency has remained, constantly and consistently, to intervene everywhere, whenever possible, by any means, to diffuse the good news of the new world order.”

Historian Eric Zuesse: The only way to deal effectively with a pandemic is socialistic.
17 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—All of the worst-performing countries have taken, overall, a far-more-libertarian-than-normal policy approach to the pandemic. China has probably taken the world’s most-socialistic policy-approach to it. Some countries, such as DRC Congo, have reported very low case-rates but have untrustworthy reporting. Other than China, whose reporting has been reliable, only #19 (the 17th-lowest of all countries), Taiwan (which is actually a region of China) is at all near China’s: it is 701 cases-per-million.
