This is also all happening while China is pushing BRICS. Then you have moron American leadership that thinks USAID was the US being nice and costing us money when it was entirely a US soft-power projection strategy that is now a vacuum for China to fill. When idiots that don’t understand things vote in idiots that know nothing, the USA loses hegemony and that never comes back. Also, side note, while abysmal for the future of the US, freaking amazing for the world in the long run!
I remember an old interview with a defector Soviet spy. He said infiltrating governments is hard and risky…infiltrate mayor’s offices and school boards and push adgeclndas that create useless citizens. Play the generationally long game and the unstoppable US empire will kill itself. Well played sir. You won.
Shit is infuriating.
