The Jig Is Up...This is how empire ends: not with a bang, but a whimper
Aletho News ^ | 7/12/2023 | William Schryver

Posted on 07/18/2023 6:22:42 PM PDT by Beave Meister

The member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — consisting of the teetering Masters of Empire and their tawdry entourage of class-stratified vassals — have just concluded a historic confab in Vilnius, Lithuania, capital of the alpha Baltic chihuahua.

In a shockingly transparent but otherwise rather banal series of events it became unmistakably clear that their grand plans to subject Russia to the “rules-based order” have come to naught.

Among others, the following consequences will ripple in the wake of this reality:

Russia will achieve a decisive conclusion to the war on terms they dictate.

NATO is shattered as a military alliance, and coming apart at the seams as a political alliance.

Germany is on a trajectory of becoming a failed state, and as it goes, so will go the incoherent iron and clay mixture of the so-called European Union.

The great myth of overwhelming US armaments supremacy has been exposed as little more than a modestly scaled boutique enterprise utterly ill-suited and ill-prepared to prosecute industrial warfare against a peer adversary.

The Roman Empire ended this way...

The author just drips bias. If he toned down the vitriol he’d at least, perhaps, be readable. But, as written, he just comes off as an unhinged propagandist.

This is not going to set well with the war mongers.

NATO is shattered as a military alliance

An alliance is a union or association for mutual benefit, like the United States and Soviet Union during World War II. the NATO alliance certainly benefits Europe, but it's unclear how it benefits the U.S. NATO has become more of a dependency than an alliance.

Yep. That first paragraph was hard to get through.

Dismantle and defund the American Empire so we can go back to being a constitutional republic as founded

I don’t like Zelensky and I don’t like Putin.

That said, Russia is not the old Soviet Union.

They just don’t have the conventional strength they used to have.

I doubt this is all true — but if it is true, I will cheer. The current world order is very broken, and I would like to reset the board, with globalists losing everything.

The larger concern over the course of my life has been the potential for the standing armed forces of the U.S. to be turned inward.

If it’s true that the post-WW2 hegemony is over (in short, the new Russia just did to ‘us’ what Reagan did to the USSR in terms of war-spending us into financial failure) then the globalists are in a bad position to attempt any strongarm new order.

1. China is not as powerful an economic force as it pretends to be. (nor are we in the USA)

2. Germany is in a bad place and we will not be there to save her again.

3. I pray every day for God to give the USA a path out of the evil clutches of the Globalist Cabal.

4. The world has seen how horrible the Cabal is in leadership, after their arrogant steps during the Covid Scam. The world sees that they are phony too.

5. Will there be an economic collapse? No one can see the extent of that, yet.

6. Brics is growing in numbers and forming alliances that may be effective.

7. We must stand alone, the Globalists and their Totalitarian partners want to crush forever the USA.

Time will tell. We either remove our traitors in DC or divide from them. We cannot survive as a nation on this path.

You captured my thoughts on this very well.

My only caveat is that I’m ambivalent about Russia while I despise Ukraine. Let’s remember that President Trump was impeached because he dared to expose the total corruption of U.S. leadership — namely the Biden family and everyone else feeding at the U.S. taxpayer trough in Washington — in their dealings with Ukraine.

After watching that preening sh!tbag foreigner Alexander Vindman testifying against President Trump, I wouldn’t give a sh!t if the Russians conquered his entire home country and occupied it for a thousand years.

“But the US hasn’t even employed its military in Ukraine! If the US entered this war with its awesome air and naval power, and its “best-in-class” army … well, the Russians would get pounded to dust within a few weeks.”

Personally, I tend to believe this. However, we would have seen the nuclear threshold crossed long before Russia or NATO ever got pounded to dust. There can be no winners in a full on war between NATO and the Russians other than perhaps the Argentinians.

they are all set. Their force structure is unfit for peer conflict, but it is optimized for counter-insurgency and political loyalty.

Reminds me of the UK post WW1.

They were nearly bankrupt, the international currency was transferring from the pound to the dollar.

The Uk couldn’t afford to go back to the gold standard until the mid-1920s, but at the same time, there were factions of the gov’t who wanted in invade Armenia, Iraq, Iran and Russia.

And at home there were factions who wanted a massive expansion of the welfare state, and continue the wartime taxes as a permanent policy.

The thing missing from the UK of the 1920’s, is the current USA Regime cultural and moral degeneracy, which makes Weimar look tame.

First of all, never count an enemy out.

Sec9nd....3 days after a Trump reelection and NATO will be as solid as a ball bearing. They just need an America not wearing depends and suffering dementia....with leftist swampers advising in the breach.
