“Everything happens then!” exulted the ghost. “Washington exacted Nibelungentreue from European leaders, who are hanging onto their jobs by their fingernails. The German Chancellor has an approval rating of 19% and the French President has a rating of 24%. They will not long survive the humiliation in Ukraine, and American influence will go the way of the Spanish after the Treaty of the Pyrenees. Washington repeated the stupidity of the Austrians and Spanish, who began the Thirty Years’ War with twice the population of France and the wealth of a global empire – yet I beat them! They dissipated their strength in piecemeal campaigns against my proxies – Bohemia, Denmark and Sweden – until they were exhausted.”
The saying goes: Afghanistan is where empires go to die. USA and Russia both wasted treasure, lives and international influence there in the past few decades. Now the USA empire is in decline while Russia is trying to restore its former glory. Other nations like China and Iran are waiting for both to falter so they might establish theyir own new empire.
The current Red Sea misadventure is one more example of the USA wasting its strength in missles and influence. No one is stepping up to help the USA replenish its resources and munitions- instead freeloading off the USA.
As Raisi said, all we did was ‘bully’ them...
We must destroy our enemies before we run out of ammo...
BTW that was England problem in the Colonies...
Their ammo, supplies and supply lines from 3,000 miles away...
They got bogged down looking after refugees who had fled to Canada...
They had to buy baby bonnets and ladies petticoats and feed and house thousands of civilians in 12 major refugee camps around Montreal...
It was the cost but it was also the space all the extra supplies took up in the wooden ships...
If instead those spaces were taken up by weapons and uniforms and food for soldiers only, England would have won the American Revolution...
Now we have millions of phony ‘refugees’ we have to feed and house and these arent our own citizens with a right to our help as the women and children from the lower 13 were....
