These tweets don’t get into all the philosophical background to our modern Anglo-Zionist Empire, but the basic dynamics of imperial development and decline still seem relevant.

This is the kind of thing that happens when Late Imperial leaders have entirely forgotten how the Early Imperial leaders constructed the polity to begin with - one they can't even conceptualize existence without.
Neither Caesar's legions nor his political reality exist any more.

Turbo-American leadership
“The path of full spectrum dominance”
“The drive for global hegemony whereby both China AND Russia are targeted simultaneously”
“This screams of hubris”

Aaron Maté pulls up the quote that gives the game of Full Spectrum Dominance away. All the talk of diplomacy, of freedom and democracy—it’s a con.

The Biden admin claims it wants to "prevent escalation" in both the Middle East and Ukraine-Russia. Yet back in October, Biden bragged that the US could fuel two conflicts at the same time and was even indignant at the suggestion that it couldn't.
“We’re the United States of America. The most powerful nation in the history of the world.” Logical corollary: We can do whatever we want. But of course the question of “we” arises. Who is that “we”? It’s not “us”. It’s “them.”

There 'may' have been a time, when America could fight 2 wars in 2 theaters of operation.
Definitely not now. It is a constant source of amazement that our Congress, president, and Pentagon ( who should know better) absolutely seem to believe in the US military invincibility.
Russia, China, DPRK, and Iran are formidable threats by themselves, let alone as an alliance.
Much of the world no longer wants what America has become. They can see clearly
Our "Turbo American" leadership seems to be living in the very definition of an "echo chamber." Who has the guts or the positioning or the power to tell this "leadership" that its perceived economic dominance is a house of cards, its military dominance is a mirage, its "soft power" has been squandered on an altar of lies and sacrifices to careerism and ideology, and its technological superiority is already a thing of the past? Who will tell the American Emperor that he has no clothes?
