The End of the World as America know it

America is losing ground; its grip on Global power isn't the same as before. During WW1, the U.S beat up Germany and its allies. They did it again in WW2; America beat up Nazis and Fascist. As the cold war went ahead, during 1990-1992, it ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The media at that time was on a leash, propaganda was effective, and public opinion was put into coma. Political Hypnosis methods were extremely effective. It was easy for Public Relation experts to fool the general population using mass psychology. All of that is no more. It is the end of the world as America knows it.

Look at what happened in Afghanistan, the American army pulled out leaving billions of dollars in weapons and armored vehicles, even Helicopters and fighter planes in the hands of Taliban. You won't know the difference between Taliban and American marines, the same dress and weapons. I heard staggering numbers of 85 billion, but I believe 8 billion is more reasonable. Even before in Vietnam in the sixties and seventies, Lebanon in the eighties and Iraq after 2003. The American army found it difficult to fight guerrilla warfare and irregular militia in hostile environments.

The war on Iran is another chapter of American intervention in the area. Donald Trump complains that NATO didn't help the U.S. The Pentagon looking at certain sanctions against NATO members, Spain is one country on the list. Israel is facing difficulties in Lebanon. One of the most serious problems is ammunition shortage. The American army stretched then and that was obvious as they withdrew from their bases in Iraq and Syria. China and Russia provide intelligence support for Iran, and even weapons and advanced military technology.

We have to recognize that one source of the difficulties the U.S is facing is the media. Mainstream media isn't in control anymore. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter revolutionize the media industry. And not to forget that the first source of information about the U.S army operation to capture Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan was a local Twitter account, not mainstream media outlet.

One more point left as a source of U.S weakness, the Global monetary and financial system. Everybody knows that it was American crafted after ww2 with Breton woods (1944). It establishes the Dollar as the world reserve currency. The World Bank and IMF appeared as a part of Breton Woods's agreement. And as Nixon shocked (1971(, The Jamaica accord (1976), Breton Woods existed no more. The world economy is floating since, no system. All WTO and free trade agreements that were the base of world economy functions are abolished by Donald Trump policy of tariffs and sanctions. What we have now is worldwide chaos. The world turned into a jungle. Don't forget that wounded tigers will be more dangerous. And everybody is waiting for what comes next.
