THE DEATH OF AMERICA
an essay by Don Tate. ©
After almost three years of Democrat rule under Joe Biden, it is obvious that we are witnessing the death of one of the greatest superpowers the world has ever seen — the U.S.A.
For all the decades since the Revolutionary War, generations of Americans have forged a prosperous, powerful nation secure in its place in the world, and the gatekeeper of international peace.
It is the American dollar that essentially finances the United Nations and N.A.T.O. and the great bulk of humanitarian aid into countries devastated by war and natural disasters.
It was American military might — and its boots on the ground — that ended the attempted domination of the world by totalitarian powers — Germany, Italy and Japan.
But that was then and this is now and what was once great, is now a bankrupt, soulless nation devoid of courage and spirit, courtesy of Barak Obama and Joe Biden.
Rachel Levine sums up what it wrong with the USA. She is the United States’ first transgender four-star officer in its uniformed services — an admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
No longer is it even secure within itself. Its southern border is an open gate to a flood of humanity not necessarily seeking safety, but a Trojan horse of criminals and drug smugglers and terrorists making a mockery of the 1980 Refugee Act.
Where once was a mostly civil society, it is now diminished in the wake of the BLM movement where anarchy ruled, businesses were detroyed, and law and order cowered before it. Decadence is everywhere; the streets are awash with drugs from China and South American cartels. A generation is stalking the streets zombie-like; tent cities abound as the number of homeless and illegal migrants grows daily.
Idiocy in the White House has seen appeasement replace strength. Iran has looted billions of American dollars under the guise of humanitarian aid while funding terrorist organisations across the world with those dollars.
Across the Middle East, American soldiers and other servicemen and women are under daily attack by Iran proxies. While they come home wounded and broken, Biden sunbathes, and the Islamic zealots rejoice.
American strength, based on its technology, a powerhouse economy and a muscled-up war machine has waned to the point where it is no longer feared by any country — and mocked by China and Russia. A succession of military defeats beginning in 1960 with the Bay of Pigs fiasco, then Vietnam, and the embarrassing retreat from Afghanistan are the symptoms of a nation in decline — a nation whose military is more concerned with gender politics than the fighting ability of its men and women.
Where once, the belief in Manifest Destiny — believed to be a God-ordained philosophy — drove expansion by whites across North America and inculcated the belief that all men were created equal (if perhaps some were more equal than others by virtue of race) it is now a nation so in decline, so divided by racial, political and religious fractures, it could not defend itself, let alone other nations.
The fact that the interest on the national debt is now greater than what it spends on Defence is an alarming fact and if nothing else, a red flag that its demise may well occur in our lifetime.
History tells us that the imbalance of debt and defence spending was precisely what brought down the Ottoman, French, Spanish and British empires.
Meanwhile, an axis of evil is forming that endangers the whole world — China, Russia, North Korea and Iran. Just as German, Italy and Japan once were, they represent an existentialist threat, especially given they all have, or are achieving nuclear capabilities.
Sadly, when the USA realises it, if it ever stops tearing itself apart, it will be too late.
