A lot of people are buying this. I don't. China trades with the world. America invades the world. China has 1 foreign military base. America has around 800. China isn't coming to get us. But America is not going to give up wanting to control the whole earth...and maybe even the galaxy after... And by "America" I mean the government and the people who control them ... not us regular people. So America might "focus on the Western Hemisphere" to loot it, and try to control it all. Those who thought they were "allies" will find out they were just accessories to the Empire. If America succeeds in conquering its "allies," it will consolidate its "gains" and then go after China. The Empire doesn't just give up its superiority-complex. It CAN'T accept a multipolar world. That contradicts what it believes to be its destiny -- Unipolar domination. The Empire doesn't stop being itself. It merely pauses from time to time.

More accurately? China focused on building China...and TRADING with the world. The U.S. focused on Israel ... and INVADING the world.

U.S. deficit spending? ... Record high U.S. gov. debt? ... Record high Interest payments on gov. debt? ... Record high American household debt? ... Record high Owning a house? ... Record high ... 40 years old! Gold price (measurement of dollar destruction)? ... Record high If there's a race to total bankruptcy... America is winning.

We the American people are watching the American Empire descend into madness. Not only are we the people reduced to spectators, as our votes don't even remotely change foreign policy, but Congress too. This is the pattern of Empire though; which is why you never want your nation to be one. Here's Lord Salisbury describing the British Empire in 1897: “I have a strong belief that there is a danger of…believing that it is our duty to take everything we can, to fight everybody, and to make a quarrel of every dispute. That seems to me a very dangerous doctrine, not merely because it might incite other nations against us…but there is a more serious danger, that is lest we overtax our strength. However strong you may be, whether you are a man or a nation, there is a point beyond which your strength will not go. It is madness; it ends in ruin if you allow yourself to pass beyond it.”

Isn't it amazing how Congress is such a non-issue? It's as if they don't exist. Lobbied spectators. The president just stomps around the world on his own volition, restrained only by "his morality." Our "enlightened" form of government, chock full of "checks and balances."

The politician says he’s here to “help.” But the politician only adds more weight to the cross. He constantly makes it heavier with all of his “help.” Genuine help only comes from the One who carried the cross Himself.

The policies come from above Trump (this is just one of the many examples that we've seen). Trump's job is then to sell it (i.e., lie, lie, and lie) to the public ... in an entertaining way ... so they at least passively go along with it.
