Since at least the 1940’s the globalist wing of the U.S. capitalist elite has been predominant, reflected in the post-war settlement driven by the U.S. to make it the dominant centre of the “free” Western world and ring-fence the communist challengers to that dominance. From that period the U.S. has striven for continued global dominance, through an endless series of U.S, driven political assassinations, coups, “colour revolutions”, economic blackmail, and outright military interventions. With the fall of the Soviet bloc and the opening of China in the 1990s it seemed that the U.S. had achieved its goal of becoming the dominant “indispensable” power within an increasingly liberal capitalist world.
Thank you for a phenomenal article, a dense yet accurate summary of the inexorable degeneration and collapse of American Empire concurrent with the failure of debt-finance, fascist capitalism, now exposed under the glaring spotlight of Ukraine. Those whom the gods would destroy are first driven mad. Criminal madness has now terminally metastasized within "elite" Western leadership. It is clearly beyond recovery and redemption.
This is very good. I agree with Doug's comment and have nothing to add.
