USA is headed for the rocksThe reasons the planet will be rid of its dictator.
The American Dream has turned into a nightmare and, in fact, risks dragging the entire planet into chaos!
The US has drawn its strength in recent decades from a strong economy with domestic manufacturing, innovation and a well-oiled military machine, using that strength to assert itself globally.
From the beginning of its history, the country rebelled against the greatest empire the world has ever seen, Britain, and won its independence.
It has moved forward since then and managed to call itself "the land of opportunity", a country that paves the way for the "American Dream".
And this is where the positive reports end. Now, the US is a ghost of its former self.
The American Dream has turned into a nightmare and, in fact, risks dragging the entire planet into chaos.
Not yet on the brink of collapse, the country has been rotting for the past 20 years, with no hope of recovery currently in sight.

The country is more divided than ever, a reality that is clear when you consider the Republican-Democrat animosity and the current level of public discourse.
Society follows…decades ago, in the golden age of the 1950s, Republicans wanted to build prosperity by cutting federal taxes and letting people keep more of their money.
Democrats wanted to build a prosperous nation by using federal legislation to give people more rights to work.
At this moment, however, the goal is to eliminate one political camp, the other. Along with inane policies comes political hate speech that is hard to fathom.
Violence
Protesters used to show up with placards and maybe a bunch of flowers. Now they are just as likely to carry a knife or a gun. Almost any protest can turn into a riot, as an American blogger reports.
If the police shoot someone – even a violent criminal who was trying to stab an innocent victim – that's an excuse for an orgy of looting and destruction.
If the Supreme Court makes a decision that someone doesn't like, the justices find angry mobs outside their homes and armed maniacs trying to kill them.
Too many protesters go armed. Carrying a gun to protect yourself and your family is a long and honorable American tradition. Carrying a gun to intimidate people you disagree with into silence is not.
Infrastructure
In a literal way, America is falling apart. Infrastructure suffers from decades of underinvestment.
The power grid is so old and overloaded, only two hot weeks away from blackout. Even a simple snowstorm can destroy large sections of the circuit.
The Biden administration loves to talk about how it's going to fix infrastructure, but its big idea is to get all Americans to buy electric cars—and then recharge them from the grid that already can't handle it.
Morality
Too many people want something – whether it's cynical corporations who want a monopoly or corrupt politicians who want to exploit their position for money.
Tens of millions of Americans still believe in earning (or paying) an honest wage for honest work, but an alarmingly large number do not. Too many people have rejected the idea that money is something to be earned.
A lot of people just don't seem to have any standards at all (which is evident on social media as well).
There are 340 million people in this country. “If we don't have a common idea of right and wrong, a set of moral standards that we all agree to live by, the US is going to be a very unpleasant place. Without a unifying ethic, societies fall apart," says an American blogger.
Economy
The US is still the largest economy in the world and still growing – but most Americans are not seeing the fruits of that growth. Wages are stagnant.
"Instead of turning our schools and colleges back to teaching useful skills and protecting workers from cheap illegal labor, our politicians are just trying to borrow and buy their way to re-election," the article said.
Look at the US national debt which has exceeded 30 trillion. dollars, currently increasing by $1 million every 36 seconds!
The US government needs to stop spending so much, but it won't because it's afraid of losing votes. So instead, he borrows the money and hopes that by some miracle the world will keep lending and Washington will never have to pay it back.
Army
As the US presidential election approaches, with the world in crisis and threats of war looming in various parts of the globe, the time has come to reflect on America's true position and military power.
This analysis inevitably focuses on a concept that has plagued many corners of the globe, yet for the US deep state is considered one of America's greatest achievements: the "military-industrial complex."

As the US presidential election approaches, with the world in crisis and threats of war looming in various parts of the globe, the time has come to reflect on America's true position and military power.
This analysis inevitably focuses on a concept that has plagued many corners of the globe, yet for the US deep state is considered one of America's greatest achievements: the "military-industrial complex."
This cluster was born during World War II and played a key role in America winning the longest war in history while ensuring that the Cold War did not escalate into a nuclear conflict with the then Soviet Union.
For over seventy years, it has kept America and the West in a position of relative hegemony and NATO ready to meet any military challenge.
Today, however, this complex has become a shadow of itself.
Dwindling resources, changing industrial realities, and decades of criticism from both the Left and the Right have led to its decline, leaving America more vulnerable and less secure against its enemies.
According to the latest National Defense Strategy (NDS), the US is not adequately prepared for war with either Russia or China, let alone both countries at the same time.
As the report states, "The threats facing the United States are the most serious and the most challenging the nation has seen since 1945."
The retreat of this much-discussed military-industrial complex has left America vulnerable.
Today, US Navy shipbuilding is at a twenty-five-year low, while China can build thirteen ships at once.
Even more significant is the fact that, according to a recent Congressional Research Service report, the US Department of Defense's share of global research and development (R&D) spending has fallen from 36% in 1960 to just 3.1% in 2019.
The report highlights that for more than seventy years, the technological superiority of the US military has provided Americans and their allies with state-of-the-art weapons and systems, offsetting the numerical and geographic advantages of their adversaries.
The reduction of this advantage has serious implications for US national security, as well as the security of its allies.
At the same time, China's spending on research and development increased 35-fold from 1991 to 2018, an investment that has paid off.
According to a recent CSIS report, China can acquire high-tech weapons systems five to six times faster than the United States. At the same time, Foreign Secretary Antony Blinken admitted that China is helping Russia rebuild its own defense industrial base, providing tools, semiconductors and other necessary equipment.
What America needs now is to rebuild a military-industrial complex, adapted to the challenges of the twenty-first century.
At the same time, it's useful to look back to see what the first version of it did right.
The phrase "military-industrial complex" comes from the farewell speech of US President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1961, who warned Americans about the dangers of this complex gaining undue influence over the political system and society.
But Eisenhower and his critics were wrong, some ultraconservative Americans claim.
Instead of threatening freedom and the democratic process, the military-industrial complex ensured the country's defense superiority for decades, offering technologies that shaped the modern era, they point out.
With the end of the Cold War, defense spending declined, and the once-strong network of defense industries shrank.
The three largest US defense companies—Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman—don't even have half Apple's revenue.
Additionally, the Department of Defense's reduction in research and development (R&D) spending has had serious national security implications.
Instead, China has increased its spending on research and development at a rapid pace, gaining advantages in high-tech weapons systems.
The picture is grim.
The question inevitably arises:
Can an eventual Donald Trump administration make "America great again" in arms production as well, or is the road to collapse a dead end?
