Challenges to U.S. getting closer to home.

 CHINA BASE IN CUBA, MEXICO AND OTHERS JOINING BRICS

TEST OF U.S. DOMINANCE INCREASING

It seems the dominance of the U.S. around the world has been challenged increasingly in the last 2 years. Much has to do with the reality that much of the world is viewing the U.S. as an empire in decline. We will soon see if this reality can be reversed by this administration or any other that should follow.

It has been revealed that China is planning on putting some sort of electronic monitoring facility in Cuba. Whether this is a real endeavor or just a plan to showcase the U.S. hypocrisy of putting military bases on the doorstep of other nations and declaring it is their right or a real test of U.S. ability to control events in this hemisphere. 

Then there is growing interest to nations around the world to join the BRICS group of economic cooperation that plans on replacing the dollar as the medium of international trade. This is a huge challenge to the U.S. ability to control world events through economic power.

Beside Brazil, the largest economy in South America and a founding member, it appears that Venezuela, Argentina and even Mexico is interested in becoming part of this cooperation. This is not going to set well with planners in Washington.

While many have likened the challenges facing the United States as a conspiracy by its adversaries, it is in reality the result of the countries own arrogance and irresponsibility. Irresponsibility in its spending excesses that has destroyed the value of the dollar and its arrogance, lack of credibility and hypocrisy in its dealings with other nations. It is a fact that the United states has lost its way, and is now reaping the results.

It is apparent that many nations no longer trust or desire to deal with this country. The list is growling longer, while of course, Russia has been demonized by this country for decades and is now in a situation of no communication and no reconciliation. China it is reported, no longer even takes phone calls from members of this administration. The Gulf countries appear to be distancing themselves from the U.S. more every day. Many African counties desire to ally economically with China and Russia before the U.S. This is not a one day occurrence but 30 years of intervention and arrogant demands over the wellbeing of many of these nations.  

Besides the recent history of failed diplomacy there is the image of the U.S. portrayed to the world of a country that has lost its foundation of values. A justice system politically corrupted, an election system that is questionable as to its validity, no nation on earth has a system that this country's has evolved into. The pushing of the LGBQT+ agenda around the world, were it is not accepted by the majority of the other nations. Then finally the acceptance and endorsement of the transition policy that is viewed with horror in many other places.

Sadly, it is very unlikely this decline can now be reversed by electoral overturn as the purveyors of these economic, political and social policies have entrenched themselves into the bureaucracy and seem to be able to control any challenges to their supremacy. While they may continue to rule, it will be an ever declining system that they rule. The natural results of their corruption will inevitably lead to collapse of this whole corrupt enterprise.
