The collapsing American Empire

in #steemit6 years ago

I read this Morning that French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a decision that his Country won't sign any agreements with the United States. He supposedly cited the idea that this decision was made because the US has backed out of the Paris Accord on "Climate Change". Before you begin typing that comment (Reply) on whether "Climate Change is real or not.... Understand that I'm not posting this Blog about that issue. I want to address the MUCH more important issue here!!!

The US has lost all credibility with other Countries in negotiating Treaties of any kind!

When a treaty or agreement is negotiated by the US and another Nation, they must wait while the den of useful idiots in the Senate endlessly debates the merits of that treaty and maybe.... Possibly... perhaps, ratifies it. These of course can be agreements that have tremendous impact on World Affairs.

What's incredibly laughable is that whatever loony President happens to be Emperor Du-jour, can simply "Back out" of a signed treaty with the sweep of His (Or Her) magnanimous hand.

The US of A has recently nullified a Treaty signed with Iran over Nuclear Expansion there. This was negotiated over many months, a great deal of work went into it, and then Ratified by a Republican Senate!!! It doesn't matter whether a Donkey (Obama) or an Elephant (Trump) was at the helm when the Treaty was signed... It's a binding agreement. The US has also walked away from NAFTA with the stroke of the Mighty Trump's pen. A trade agreement that was a bum deal to begin with YES... But nevertheless, a signed and ratified agreement that had been in place for TWENTY FOUR YEARS!!! Entire businesses were built around NAFTA. Entire business models, and the lives of many workers and employees of numerous Companies will be swept aside by this Empirical Decree. empire collapse drowning.jpg
It's not about whether these were decent agreements for the US or not....

It's about whether the US can be trusted by other Countries!!!

Washington DC Politicians have come to the conclusion that they can do whatever the hell they want, if it's politically expedient for their own greed, and lust for power. As Macron's statement Yesterday clearly shows..... The rest of the World doesn't think the Word of the United States Government is worth spit.

These petty plutocrats, have shredded the reputation of what once was the country of "Truth Justice, and the American way". They squabble endlessly over whether one of them raped a high school girl decades ago, while "Torturing a few folks" with the other hand. They've locked human beings in cages without a trial, jury, or Judge. They've summarily executed their own people without due process. Given their minions in Blue costumes the power to steal more from their own citizens than all Burglars, and Muggers combined!!! All without even accusing anyone of a crime. They've invaded and attacked Sovereign Countries over make believe "Humanitarian" reasons, killed hundreds of thousands of children without any remorse, and lately been a part in bombing School buses loaded with Kids for no reason.


Video... Click arrow in center to watch. 24 seconds long.

For DECADES now, the talking heads on Cable News Channels, and Politicians have been driving a wedge between the American Public. They've convince people that they are somehow in control because they have a choice over which group of sniveling worms get to take their money and boss them around. This was all done to divert attention while a small group of monied Oligarchs seized control over YOUR life!!!

It's almost fascinating to me that people have become SO invested in this utterly made up and fabricated political divide that they are now willing to kill each other because of these insignificant differences!!!

The recent rioting in Portland is a poignant example of how Americans are willing to become violent over such petty differences, while their "Leaders" NO MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM continue to bankrupt the Nation, wage war, and tax people to death. It's so laughable that it's insane.

Meanwhile the United States of America is BANKRUPT!!!!

As of 09-26-2018.

The US Dollar is teetering on the brink of collapse. It's value is derived from only being backed by the "Full faith and credit" of the United States Government. A Government that has NO credibility with foreign Countries, and NO track record of doing a damned thing right.... EVER. The supposedly richest country in the World has waged a "War on Drugs" for decade after decade with no result except the ability for politicians to stick out their chests. It's waged "War on Poverty" since 1964 (54 YEARS) yet millions of American children go to bed hungry each night. It's supposedly "Policed" the World", while car bombs go off in the news each Night. The ONLY thing holding America and it's currency together at this point is the idea that Washington DC politicians are the biggest bullies on the block. Russia and China have gotten together and just about decided they've had enough of that. I pray that when they gang up and kick the United State's a$$, it won't degrade into the end game for all of Humanity.

We've voted in the Lessor of two evils into power, and they're STILL evil. They're narcissistic pompous beliefs may just lead to the nuclear button being pushed.

If not..... make yourself some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show, as the Empire you live in collapses into the dust.
