Trump seeks to extradite Palestine solidarity funder James “Fergie” Chambers from Spain on “material support for terrorism” charges. Lawmakers and rights groups call it political persecution amid a broader crackdown on the U.S. left.
You have misinterpreted what I said. Iran has done a stellar job in defending itself and exposing the US. That said the US are far ahead economically than anyone else. They also have the global reserve currency meaning they can print their way out of any financial crisis and make the rest of the world hold the bag. They have vast resources. They secured Venezuela first as a backstop just in case. They blew up the Nord Stream 2 so Europe would have to buy more from them. They caused the Strait of Hormuz to close so Europe has to buy more from them. This is essentially a vassal tax on Europe. It also severely impacted China as China is Iran’s largest energy customer. They blow up countries on a whim meaning countries cannot consistently develop. Always back to square one. If they do this they don’t need to improve internally to maintain their hegemony they only need to keep others down. To be clear this is a short term strategy that is doomed to fail long term. China has out manoeuvred them and it’s only a matter of time before the circumstances change and they lose one of their levers. Once that happens they are well and truly fucked (hence the on-shoring manufacturing panic). In the mean time expect them to become ever more brutal. The transition will be dark times for the planet on levels we haven’t seen since WW2. The one thing I know for sure is there is no limit to the depths of their depravity. Much of Europe’s capitulation to their hegemony isn’t helping either.
You should also be aware that the artificial Cueta migrant crisis, the manufactured Greenland crisis and the recent US military partnership deal with Indonesia are all designed to isolate China’s trade routes. They are planning to control all the world’s trade choke-points.
the us is very much declining economically, are supporting themselves very precariously, and they can’t produce shit themselves. this can’t be easily reversed.
but if you expected them to roll over and die you are a bit naive here. war is when both countries flings bombs at each other and no empire will just choose to stop.
