In Way Over Its Head, U.S. Empire Doubles Down


I've written before about suspecting that the decision to brand U.S. imperial wars as Democrat (Ukraine, genocide in Gaza) or Republican (Iraq, Afghanistan) was a strategic error. Case in point: the wrestling match in Congress to pass yet another $95.3 billion for "D" wars, including ramping up a long term military presence to turn Taiwan into the next Ukraine.

Unrelated issues like militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border, a vote and donation magnet for Republicans, are a stumbling block under this strategy. The Punch and Judy show of the two parties battling it out despite having the very same corporate sponsors is now impinging on keeping the debt-ridden empire and its proxy warriors solvent.

What to do?


Simon Ateba, White House correspondent for Today News Africa, summed up the plan succinctly:



Possibly Congress can beat that. Here's what they spent valuable time and effort on yesterday -- condemning evidence-free allegations of rape being used to portray Israelis as victims rather than genociders.


The U.S. empire is on the skids. Broke, ideologically deranged, and clutching at straws to justify its continued aggressive actions around the globe. (For a peek into U.S. ambitions to put nukes in space -- and the resistance -- check out the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space.)




It's understandable that empire managers are panicking. Their worst nightmare has come true. As their decades of global dominance wind down before they even got a chance to dominate outer space, targeted nations are making common cause with one another.

Who could have foreseen this development? Just about everybody who can perceive that the emperor has no clothes.
