USA in the World

Let us talk plainly about the end of the world as we have known it for generations. A dark age is on the horizon, and there’s precious little time for humanity to prevent an unprecedented catastrophe. In the words of a great statesman from this era, “The cost of ill-conceived social experiments is sometimes beyond estimation.” And the experiment…

The US homicide rate rose by a record 30% from 2019 to 2020, reports CNN citing a paper from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of deaths due to homicide in 2020 was the highest in the modern history of the United States. The Gun Violence Archive (GVA), a research group, estimates that about 43,000 people were killed…

The growing contradictions between China and the West, which received an ideological coloring after the speech of Mike Pompeo in 2020, who called the confrontation between Beijing and Washington a struggle between the Free World and the Marxist-Leninist Regime, is increasingly acquiring the character of a complex conflict between the parties. Washington…

The very first “Summit for Democracy” will be held in early December 2021. Organized by the United States, it will include “leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector,” all unilaterally picked by the United States who, by implication, has unilaterally declared itself arbiter of which nations are deemed “democratic…

The submarine fleet has traditionally enjoyed the special favors of the top leaders in the United States. It is even known that in 1993 former US Vice President Al Gore made a trip to the Arctic aboard the USS Pargo nuclear submarine. According to The National Interest, the US Navy announced in December 2016 that it needed 66 submarines with submarine-launched…

The US and Europe are now entering a fourth or is it the fifth COVID cycle, new infections, new peaks in deaths and a feeling of hopelessness that is darkening the Judeo-Christian holiday season. It is driven by what some generously call “vaccine resistance.” Without the anti-vaccine movement, COVID would have ended in much of the world where vaccines are plentiful and safe…

It’s called a Natural Asset Company. With it the New York Stock Exchange has unveiled the most radical and potentially most destructive plan yet to make literally trillions of dollars on something that is the natural right and heritage of the entire human race—nature itself, all nature, from air, fresh water to rainforests to even farmland. It is being promoted as a way to incentivize…

While the apparent purpose of the long awaited Biden-Xi virtual summit was to normalise increasing tensions between China and the US, the summit has only confirmed that there is no effective, institutional scaling down from the growing competition either in the economic/technological field or in the geo-political arena. Perhaps, no other issue…

On November 9, Reuters reported that the Office of the US President’s National Security Advisor organized in October – early November exploratory trips of expert delegations to several countries in Africa and Latin America. A similar tour to Asia is planned for December. The purpose of these visits was to agree with the leadership of the visited countries on the launch…

In the old days, the great powers divided the world according to the old rules of sovereignty. Whoever was first to plant their flag owned the land with its resources if there was an opportunity to protect it. Today, while the polar ice in the Arctic melts at an unprecedented rate, the world’s leading global actors continue to view this region as a no man’s land, actively seeking…

A year ago, a provisional count of US presidential election results identified Democrat Joe Biden as the winner, promising “massive construction and record investment at home, as well as a big American comeback on the international scene.” Although Joe Biden emphasized his political experience during the campaign, he has been constantly haunted by setbacks in the months…
