America was propagated as the Great Nation in the last century when I was born, even though the world was technically still at war with the ongoing Cold War.
When the Soviet Union block broke down, everyone thought it’s going to be a New World Order with the Americans as the unquestionable the one and only one Super Power left in this world.
However, it only took 40 years or less for the only Super Power to decline rapidly while Russia and China formed up BRICS as the next biggest challenge to US dominance.
While the old Empire spent great amount of money in the trillions to maintain its military dominance, China has focused on building its economic strength before building up its military might with much more efficiency and effectiveness with its spending.
The over depency on the Petrol dollar to finance its huge deficits will become the last straw to break the American camel’s back.
I watched the US Presidential Elections Debate with great dismay. Both candidates don’t seem to have any concrete plans to salvage the once Great America from imminent crash and collapse. None of them want to talk about the great potential economic fallout from the challenges posed by the aftermath of economic decoupling which transform the world into a multi-polars of economic regrouping.
The overspending in military has sucked out all the much needed funds to maintain US basic infrastructure for better quality of life.
The Presidential candidates should focus on the Real American interests in their own land before they start to talk about the fuzzy American interests overseas which normally refers to the interests of their big corporations.
As much as I dislike Trump for his initiation of trade wars and his personalities, but I think he would be a better choice than the Wokeism at play. An ideological Wokeism will bring disastrous impact on the whole world and humanity.
The potentially huge adverse impacts of Wokeism are hidden behind a cloat of pseudo-intellectual supremacy.
Trump is not the perfect guy but unfortunately the only choice left for US to rebalance itself in this latest New World Order.
