As a young student studying ancient/modern history I recall studying the fall of the Roman (military) Empire. Of course, full of young projections I simply couldn’t understand why obvious solutions were not followed to restore Rome’s might prior to its implosion and subsequent fall as a powerful empire; solutions were obvious to me and confirmed by the Eastern Emperor Constantine, who cleverly implemented something learned from the Jews, and that is that an Empire based on ideology/theology was the most cost efficient and supremely successful form of ruling large numbers of people and huge geographic empires, regardless of initial cultural differences.
When Constantine implemented a new state ideology based on Christianity, and took measures to ensure that opposing Christian groups were eliminated, he in fact formed exactly the same means that elite, corrupt Jewish priests utilised to enslave the Jewish people. It proved to be a resounding success as the military Roman Empire morphed into the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ and continued to rule Europe, with an iron fist, for another 1500 years as history verifies.
Now, with history’s example you would think that modern empires are aware of the political causes of collapse, but not so America, which nation/empire is collapsing as I write, truly a wonder to behold, as I am now able to witness first hand how empires fail/fall.
Take for instance the law as outlined in religious texts, originally written in order to manage huge numbers of subjects. These ‘laws’ were clearly encoded in religious texts as tenets and ‘commandments’, do this and don’t do that, pay homage to temporal rulers etc, and then you would be able to enter paradise, a fantasy created to compensate for the continual hardships of essentially a SLAVE existence overseen by an elite group of social parasites, nothing has changed in this respect since the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, all of which empires required EXPLOITED slaves in order to unfairly gain immense power and wealth.
However, today the law is largely secular, we have local and international laws to which nations conform or should conform, nevertheless, America, since the Bush regime has clearly chosen not to abide by any laws and so does what it will, its recent criminal history of illegal invasions, the assassination of leaders that do not conform to Washington dictates and the blatant theft of the precious resources of other nations portrays a gangster state more compatible with the mafia than a civilised, law abiding, enlightened society, of course unbridled corruption is also symptomatic of a failing empire.
America’s RETROGRADE behaviour, back to caveman tactics, ‘might is right,’ is the principal cause of its failing influence in the international community, which community continues to at least recognise local and international law. To succeed in this overtly gangster manner an entity or state must first change existing law and give itself carte blanche prior to pursuing mafia criminal tactics, which America has neglected or failed to accomplish, therefore today America stands as a naked gangster in a world that rejects such behaviours. You would note how Russia constantly reminds America of international laws and conventions which it follows as a mark of its moral superiority. Indeed, America leads the world in killing innocent civilians, millions since the turn of the 21st century notwithstanding the millions of innocent peasants killed in the Indo-Chinese wars of South East Asia during the 20th century. And so America, whether it likes the title or not, is by accepted definition, the WORLD’S leading terrorist state, fact!
Furthermore, its flagrantly criminal adventures in the 21st century, define it as a morally bankrupt, soulless nation interested only in material wealth and political power, in money and theft we trust, etc.
The Bush regime took the major turn in this new overtly criminal direction, it could be argued that Yugoslavia was the test case for a model designed by a group known as the neocons, which group continues to determine foreign policy in Washington -- ‘pax-Americana’ (a lunatic dream).
Nevertheless, pathological America continues to pursue its failing ideology of a mixture of brute force and the media fictions it attempts to impose on the western world, though that measure is completely successful in the uneducated, uninformed USA.
Trump’s ascension to power as the new Nero is ample proof of America’s decline, this pathological buffoon is actually supported by huge numbers of average Americans and so the second stage of collapse is evident, distracted masses living in a state designed dream world, professing all the while that God is on their side, which delusional tactics to the international community are as transparent as glass crystal.
America, defying international laws, particularly those sections dealing with sovereignty and the non-interference with other sovereign states, amputated Kosovo from Yugoslavia/Serbia, and then attempted to convince the world that this clearly illegal act was legitimate, well of course, American vassals followed Washington dictates, however, the vast majority of nations refused to condone this clearly criminal action, simply because it would set a precedent and allow anyone to falsely claim sovereign state lands. This failure was the first outward rejection of America as a world hegemon, but has America learned from its failure and diminishing influence, not a chance, as captured buffoon and puppet to the elites, Trump, has recently attempted to grant the Syrian Golan Heights to Israel, which itself is a state stolen from Palestine. Needless to say that ridiculous attempt by Trump now living in his own Nero style dream world was rejected by the world. Which effect has done more to diminish America’s influence and position on the world stage.
So like ancient Rome, America is failing dramatically, its two major competitors China and Russia, engage the world honestly, abiding at all times by international laws and convention -- they have wisely realised it's a matter of TRUST. While America's lying media, ‘bread and circuses,’ continues to entertain, titillate and weave fantasies of its (failing) power and (non-existent) 'greatness' to its own ignorant population, which notions the WORLD rejects.
Add to that the supreme arrogance of its pathological leader, demeaning and crudely criticizing other state leaders and you have a recipe for ostracism and pariah status, which are the last two nails in the coffin America has made for itself.
America today is a culture gone very wrong as it failed to learn the basic lessons of failure from history.
