Great degradation
Political scientists from all continents are actively discussing the past presidential elections in the United States as the quintessence of the political and civil division that struck the once great power. And the point is not even that the paradigms collided head on head — outrageous socialism and civic nationalism, libertarianism and conservatism.
The roots of the current situation lie primarily in the economic field — the battle unfolded between the largest industrialists on the planet and the bigwigs from Wall Street and. Those who understand the economy structurally and try to give the country real money, domestic product, jobs and those who continue the idea of globalization (in practice, robbing the entire planet), inflating a record external debt.
This is what is happening in the United States now, not from the height of the towers in Manhattan. More than 60% of American bankrupts attribute their problems to health care: many insurances do not cover necessary medications and manipulations; a huge number of families cannot afford insurance at all. All of this is multiplied by the tsunami of billing errors. Medicines can cost up to a million dollars, the same money can cost quite an ordinary surgical manipulation of hospitalization. American doctors do not belong to the poor strata of society, but if these funds went at least in part to them, they would all be millionaires without exception.
The situation is no better in education is it a joke, at the end of last year, in just one investigation, over 50 (!!!) people were arrested for manipulating their admission to the country’s largest universities. These are bribery teachers who allowed strangers to take exams for applicants, and parents. And the education system itself is considered among the poor strata of the population a form of legalized fraud: the cost of training in some educational institutions is so high that it is difficult for a citizen who has taken out a loan for education to close it until his death.
Industry? You are welcome. More than half of the coal mines in the United States have been closed in the past 10 years. Enemy emulators are used for training pilots — Swiss fighters, produced 60 years ago. These, I agree, are easy to shoot down. The armed forces are canceling the rearmament program for the ground forces, as the industry is physically unable to create a tank that would weigh less than 80 tons. The Amtrak Cascades train crashed, killing and injuring more than 100 people. Thus, ended the US attempt to create a high-speed passenger rail system. And the idea to replace the outdated New York subway carriages R32 ended in a truly comical way: all three tests with passengers on board failed. By the way, the cost of one carriage reached $ 2 million. And this is not a satellite, not a shuttle, not a helicopter. Railway carriage.
An attempt to regain the power that was slipping away from the hands spurred the “socialists” from penthouses to play one of the most difficult cards in American solitaire — race clashes. The unintentional murder of a detained African American by a police officer escalated into such a wave of mutual hatred, a tsunami of robberies and murders. The situation has reached the point that there are squads of “black panthers”, and the rednecks are expected to clean their guns.
All this wave of problems forces both sides to turn on a mechanism that has been steadily working in the United States for almost a century — open rabid populism. What do you need for a good show? The protagonist in the form of the coolest democracy in the world (we have all already seen the results of elections according to the impossibly outdated system of 50 separate votes on the charts), as well as the antagonist in the person of … for example, China and Russia.
Further it is a matter of technology — all the techniques have long been tested. We create lines of tension and hot spots. It is desirable that there was something to plunder. The Yemeni Houthis, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (with nationalist formations), the Uyghur issue, and the ongoing crisis in the Middle East are also being used. All these areas need to be flooded with weapons (the emirates alone, which have suddenly made peace with Israel, will be supplied with weapons worth 23 billion dollars in the coming years). And these billions of bigwigs know how to scroll two or three times, and they end up on deposits in their own banks.
It got to the point that Trump, who promised to reduce the number of US troops in hot spots, in particular in Iraq and Afghanistan, to 2.5 thousand people per country. And at the same time, the special envoy for Syria, James Jeffrey, openly deceived the command about the size of the group. He openly admitted. That is, the country cannot count its soldiers abroad in principle.
As the former high-ranking partner of the United States in the Middle East, the envoy of the last Sheikh of Iran in the Western world, Robert Hayat told me: “Now, at the end of one of the most difficult years in the history of the world, I cannot say 10 years ahead how the situation will end. Situation created in a blind pursuit of power. And the Middle East has never been so close to a hot war, so many weapons have never been there in history. The USA can become really dangerous for the whole world.”.
