Fugazi: the Strange Death of American Hegemony

I’m writing this piece out of fear. Fear that Donald J. Trump will be defeated by the Forces of Darkness.

But who are the Forces of Darkness?

Might they be Wall Street, the FBI, the Supreme Court, the U.S’s NATO allies?

You see, Trump is actually attempting to do what most other World Leaders only talk about doing, and that’s taking very difficult decisions.

Tariffs

Trump is trying to protect American jobs and industries with punitive tariffs on the U.S’s trading partners.

Is this fair or an abuse of power?

In my view Trump, and America’s, actions aren’t fair, but might they be the right thing to do for the American people?

Strangely, IMO, the U.S. Supreme Court Justices recently overruled the U.S. President. In a 6–3 decision, the Court held that the President had overstepped his powers. Regardless of the fact that his tariffs were bringing Billions of Dollars into the U.S. financial system — money badly needed to help pay down America’s huge, 36 trillion dollar, National Debt.

It begs the question — Who did the Supreme Court Justices actually rule against - Trump or the American People?

Might the ruling actually have benefited America’s greatest rival — China?

Iran

Might China, and possibly Israel, be setting-up President Trump to fail with his threatened attack on Iran?

By this, I mean, might the United States be being lured into attacking an Iran protected by Hypersonic missiles and state-of-the-art Chinese Electronic Warfare Systems that can “see” U.S. F35 Stealth Fighter-Jets?

The question that I’m trying to ask is.

Has Israel encouraged Trump to attack Iran knowing that Iran has the capability to shoot U.S. warplanes out of the sky, and maybe even sink a U.S. Aircraft Carrier?

Now don’t misunderstand me. The United States can easily crush Iran into the dust, but the loss of say 10 Stealth Fighter-Jets, and possibly an Aircraft Carrier would IMO shock the American people to the core. Something, I believe to be, very much in China’s interest.

Russia

The Russo-Ukrainian war helps the United States sell it’s relatively expensive Liquid Natural Gas around the World, but it also allows China, and India, to purchase Russian Oil, Gas, and Mineral Assets (Palladium, Nickel, and Copper) on the cheap.

So, IMO, the Russo-Ukrainian war benefits China above all else.

Now, assuming this to be true. Might it help explain why America’s NATO “allies” want to prolong the war? Might the Macron’s, Von der Leyen’s, and Starmer’s of this World actually want to see China kick America’s butt?

Conclusion

Trump likely lost his first Presidential contest against Joe Biden because he was “encouraged”, IMO, to say that Sunlight and Disinfectant would rid the World of Covid. It was his worst ever moment on Television.

The media line is that, Dr. Deborah Birx, then the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, appeared “visibly uncomfortable” during Trumps remarks. But I’ve seen the footage and she appeared to be smirking to me. And it was the smirk, if that’s what it actually was, of a woman who looked like she had just help decide the outcome of a Presidential Election!

Just to add. She didn’t strike me as being a Republican voter. But I might be wrong about that!

Trump is very far from perfect. His ICE Agents have, IMO, committed a few brutal murders of American citizens. He has also kidnapped and incarcerated an elected Head of State and his wife (President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores). He has also threatened to take over, by force, the Island/Country of Greenland in order to secure access to the mineral assets buried under the Arctic Ice-Shelf.

And now he is on the verge of entering a war against Iran.

But why is Trump doing all of this?

Might it be that he is simply “taking the difficult decisions” required for the United States to remain the World’s leading nation and stop it losing the Dollar as the World’s Reserve Currency?

Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t.

But one thing that I feel confident about is that Trump is surrounded by liars and cheats. And that the World, he inhabits, is totally FUGAZI.

What do you think?
