New U.S. foreign policy strategy underway?

 ATTACK ON VENEZUELA MAY NOT BE NECESSARY

GLOBAL SPHERES OF INFLUNECE MATERILIZING

It is now appearing that the new U.S. strategy is underway, it is not up for debate. It seems that the U.S. has decided it cannot control the world, but hopes to control the western Hemisphere. Venezuela and the fleet that is currently there is an indication of this strategy. It is likely an agreement with Russia has already been made to withdraw from at least the Caribbean in exchange for the U.S. deciding that the Ukraine project is now a loser for the U.S. It does have the power to strangle Venezuela into submission, especially if its other options decide it is in their best interest to move on.

While the Caribbean may be an easy area for the U.S. to control, Brazil, a founding member of BRICS, probably will be another matter. We can assume that the U.S. can control all of North America, Central America and the Caribbean area, by the threat of military power. It may be able to coax much of South America by a combination of real diplomacy, respect and mutual cooperative economic prosperity. The question will be, can the U.S. engage in such a policy over an extended time. 

It is appearing that the Middle east strategy of the past that cost the U.S. near $10 Trillion and many lives, both our own and those of the region, is coming to an end. It has already been announced that U.S. troops are leaving Syria and one can expect the same will soon happen in Iraq. It is hoped that influence can be maintained by diplomacy and mutual cooperation, we will see if that is possible.

It is being acknowledged that the U.S. cannot contain China by economic means and military conflict is a gamble at best. China this week set an all time record of a $1 Trillion trade surplus with its trading partners. The U.S. has realized how dependent it has become on Chinese goods in most every sector. 

A key to the evolving spheres of influence can be indicated by a world map, something anyone who is interested should have. It can be predicted that the long term history of alliances and trading partners is reemerging as the impossible task of world domination by any one power comes to an end.

One might expect to see troop and base closings in more areas as the U.S. has over 750 bases around the world, more than can be afforded.

We are going to hear and watch as the accusations of surrender, treason and other allegations can soon be expected, but the reality is the big threat to the U.S. is not China or Russia, but an escalating debt and an unsustainable baked in fiscal policy coupled with an economy based on financial transactions rather than wealth producing manufacturing. It may take decades of unified discipline to turn this all around. The real challenge to the U.S. is mostly all at home.
